I applied a technique for quickly finding exact k nearest neighbors or nearest neighbors in a specific hamming distance using research[0] which includes a library + source code. Th…

This makes me wonder what those two holes in the shroud of USB A style connectors are for. After a bit of googling it looks as if they are to provide a bit of tension against remov…
