    We are actually pretty good at predicting the long term for specific regions. This allows building codes to be based on the seismic activity of the region. Sadly this isn't somethi…

    I mean....there are several architectures out there which has a nop that is a jump forward. Kind of a tree forest issue imho

    This is clearly the wrong way to think about it. Dates forward and backward from this flag date exist in both calendars and it's straightforward to convert between them. Such a fla…

    Seems like a motivation to switch to using a VPN for such untrusted devices that still require internet access.

    A more interesting, if not totally pointless question to me, is, are all the constants of nature computable? If any are a "randomly" chosen real number, the answer would almost cer…

    Yes, and you can diff the two branches when you are done!

    This is an acceptable failure mode. I'd be nice if there was a standardized LED flash or color that you could get so if your relative said something isn't working, you could ask, "…

    The step I've taken is just purchasing USB-C to barrel in various voltages and labeling them appropriately.

    The apple 2 5.25 drive does quarter track steps. I think this may be the issue.

    I would argue for some form of head tracking to always display the appropriate frame. It would be nice if you could use hud display tech so it would automatically track, but I don'…

    "One cmake invocation goes from source to a bootable disc.gdi. No Platform Builder, no SDK install, no CD key." It's like the new emdash.

    It doesn't negate the problems you are pointing out, but there are several devices that bridge the USB wireless gap. (Aawireless, etc)

    I appreciate that you can look at the current political climate and imagine that such edge cases would be handled in a compassionate way.

    Imagine being 18 and suddenly discovering you have to prove the citizenship status of a parent you've never met or else you'll be deported to a country you've never been to and who…

    Oi, more AI slop. After dealing with things that have external package management and yocto, I understand the pain. But integrating that into yocto is very doable and is a far bett…
