Also from BC: we get up in the dark in the winter either way. May as well have it light when I get off work.

Duopoly is bad. We should work to fix that. A monopoly is worse.

Isn't that what all freedom is? Every restriction on freedom is for the benefit of society. At least according to those making those restrictions. Even the soviets thought that the…

Verilator is very good. It's faster than anything else, and it is free. The downsides are it won't stimulate encrypted IP blocks. And it doesn't do mixed language sim, so vhdl is n…

For a long time I've wanted to use something like this to remove advertisements from hockey games.The moving ads on the boards are really annoying. Maybe I'll get around to actuall…

What would have to change for you to consider it a country? It has a government, there has been talk of a European Army. It has a sovereign currency. If it is the squabbling betwee…

Treating something as entertainment does not prevent you from learning from it, or taking what it says as fact. I learned a lot about the structure of the US government from readin…

SimpleTax, got bought by WealthSimple a year or two ago, but its still good.

Yeah the newer zynq-MP have a 4 core A53 as well as two realtime class cores on there.

It's kinda like Alexander Graham Bell, claimed by the Scots (in England they call him British) the Canadians and the Americans.

Perhaps unions?

When I was in highschool and having a rough time (nothing like these kids are going through) then I really liked hockey because for 60 mins only the game mattered, none of the othe…

But how do you remember when to use $^ and $<

That criticism seems to conflate culture with skin. The NHL has a culture where bring the spotlight on individuals is frowned upon (For a long time having a high number on you swea…

Ice is more expensive than fields, but there is probably a feedback loop as well.

Carpool lanes, different tolls for commercial vs personal. I think these are essentially doing that.

Arbitration and multiplexing

Note, this was not some winding two-lane so typical of BC interior (Though this is getting better). This is a good road that was recently upgraded for the 2010 Olympics.

Is that legal? In Canada I'm not sure your allowed to sell unpasteurised milk.

Pretty sure they are only free for at risk people/ health care workers. At least that is true in BC. http://immunizebc.ca/diseases-vaccinations/influenza Healthcare is a provincial…

Usually immeasurably means infinite, I'm guessing that's not what you meant?

Nvidia had a presentation at the risc-v workshop a few years back. I think they are building chips with it. Nothing the regular programmer sees though I don't think

Yeah there are a few out there. At Vectorblox we have ORCA that we use as a cross-platform replacement for nios/microbaze. I don't know of anyone who has built anything as sophisti…

Those are daytime running lights. I wish headlights were mandatory, that would eliminate people driving in rainy twilight without lights on.

Personally I wouldn't try smuggling from across, taking beer and smokes across without declaration is significantly less of a risc than taking banned substances. I say this as a Ca…
