Is 60GHz not part of the standard now? Only a matter of consumer hardware support.

He doesn't shower as far as I can tell. He mentions once (paraphrasing) "I'm lucky I don't sweat much and smell". He practices basic hygiene and appearance (shaving, etc) and washe…

The dude on their phone is not comparable to the an AV carrying a family of 5 unpredictably veering into a concrete divider. One is negligent, the other has done nothing and could …

Statistically, yes, but I think people can be afraid of the lack of direct accountability for AVs. A distracted/drunk driver, for example, is something easy to attribute cause and …

Your usage of errno can cause failure on success if errno was set any time before the call to fflush. Might need a bump to v3 for robustness...

Sorry, maybe I meant "linearly", or just "correlated".

Interestingly the article says: Peek and her team found that muscle repair after injury was greater when mice were active or awake compared to when they were inactive or resting. I…

That's not quite what's shown in that PDF...All oils tested showed signs of instability when heated, but EVOO was the most stable. But EVOO still had an increase in trans-fats, for…

In your example, if you exercise, you can have the pizza as well as the sandwich. This can be significant, because suppose you have those 300 surplus calories 3x/week minus the exe…

Meanwhile, hardware-level OS-ignostic rootkits like Computrace exist, and Intel ME has its own network stack, but Pluton being adopted as some kind of industry standard to lock dow…

I've noticed that people tend to have varying differences in their mental map of organization. If you view a codebase as largely monolithic with only a few states such as previous/…

If you set the SSID and password identical for both bands, the clients should prefer to negotiate the optimal band. I just checked and all clients save for some legacy devices on m…

On my machine running Ubuntu 18.04 (coreutils 8.28, openssl 1.1.1), openssl is faster than both shasum and sha256sum.

> I wanted easy privacy > Uber [..] Grindr Can I just comment how contradictory this is? I understand "privacy" means different things to people, but when used like this it's dilut…

What you describe is a software limitation in the TV's video player if it doesn't have an option to loop. Right now, I can open up a video in Firefox, say a VP8 WebM, and there's a…

> You can simply save the file and expect it to work everywhere I don't quite follow. This is because the gif is decoded and played. No different than a video. You don't need a pro…

Looping is up to the video player, not the format or container. What "video formats" have looping as metadata? Gifs only have a loop flag so static images can be displayed instead …

Apple is also a member of MPEG LA, and has refused to adopted VP9. With AV1 perhaps they changed their tune and/or had no choice industry wise.

Well not if users force VP9 using something like youtube-dl and pipe to a compatible player. But I looked it up and the reason Apple refuses to adopt VP9 is not so arbitrary but ra…

But why is this tolerated, for lack of a better word? There's no barrier to adding support, a decoder ships with ffmpeg. Youtube has been serving webm/vp9 video for years, so does …

I didn't hijack anything, I bring up RtR and privacy in response to the comment chain here saying "choose iOS, choose Apple, choose privacy". I directly address your post. Now if y…

Key word is "permissions", right? Meaning apps that don't wish to scare users with permissions will adopt the new API, but existing filesystem access should continue to function. O…
