Light from the sun contains a much greater number of wavelengths (and different depending on time of day) than that from the backlight; it's not the same.
Wouldn't this be similar to how weights for individual terms in a interpolation polynomial can change when adding a new point, while it still (to some approximation at least) captures all the old?
It is a little noisy, and I have problems configuring the buttons as a mouse while keeping the trackpad as a trackpad, but the finger travelling is good, and the layout feels very much like the old, renowned MS Natural keyboards.
> Under what conditions are you allowed to use it and it not be abuse?
I'll give you an example, which is also a true story: I bought a 4K TV that could also run Android apps. But, while regular TV broadcasts displayed in 4K, the Android apps were limited to HD. This, of course were never mentioned in any of their marketing material. Did return, and did get a refund, but if it had worked as I thought it did, I would have kept it.
Switched to a Dvorak keyboard layout, although I did so before it got chronic (meaning pain without typing), on an ergonometric keyboard. Also started using the mouse with the left hand, despite having (a fairly strong) right-hand affinity.
Not GP, but I think what they find disturbing is that Adobe could block a plugin running on their computer, either by the plugin being timebombed, or by it checking in with a mothership.
Correct. Back in the days, it used to be that you could run Fortran 77 code through f2c and then compile with gcc using the assume-no-aliasing option, and you would get roughly the same performance as if you compiled with f77.
A variant of this is to mandate that every header #define a documented symbol, and then have a #ifndef guard for this around the inclusion of the header.
This is so true. We should patch setuptools to easily be able to create deb/rpm in addition to wheels so that open-source projects could easily host PPAs of packages.
I wonder if, instead of having two different layouts and changing between them, an alternative would be to put all the navigation keys at fifth level and above, and then hijack the Kanji modifier to switch to them, or maybe pretend you're a Far East keyboard and use Eisu_toggle.
DHL operates in my home country, Norway, where they are the bottom of the barrel. If I can, I avoid shopping online at places that uses DHL; they're that bad.
> Is depriving everyone of additional liberties for a month worth increasing life expectancy by 3 hours?
This analysis is flawed, because it compares the entire cost to only parts of the gain. Economic depression because no-one dares to go outside of fear for their lives, has for instance negative value too.
Kernel-wise, there isn't much common code between OS/2 and NT. Windows NT 3.1 is more like VMS with the Windows graphical subsystem ported on top of it.
But yes, running OS/2 was fun days, much better than Windows 3.11 (if you had memory enough).
No, you are not misinformed. Both RDP and X11 can send both drawing commands and bitmaps. However, as /u/moonchild says, only older programs seems to be sending drawing commands directly. Newer programs want to be fancy and uses toolkits that do their own drawing to have visual effects. (Witness the speed of Emacs vs. editor-du-jour)
NX was fine in the 3.5.x series, but the client is wonkish from 4.x (and out?). X2Go is based on the same (open-source) underlaying library, and seems to be better. At least in my opinion, and maybe in others here too since nobody apparently mention NX anymore.
I have been using Linux-to-Linux; multiple monitors work without problems, with respect to docking to edges etc. I use it as a a graphical terminal when I work from home, i.e. I sit in front of my machine at home, but everything happens on the machine at work. Laptop screen with 1440x900 resolution does not feel sluggish on effectively 40 Mbps wireless network, desktop screen with 3840x2160 works fine over 75 Mbps residential broadband. I can have voice chats over that link too. Electron apps are redraw hogs though; they feel a little bit sluggish at 4K. I would rather use 2560x1440 then. Emacs is fine in either.
I find X2Go to be a very nice Linux remote desktop solution, more or less on par with MS-RDP on Windows. The only thing I couldn't get to work was continuing a local session remotely (disconnecting and later reconnecting to a remote session works fine). It is packaged in most mainline distributions.
More likely because there is a week-long winter school holiday in the latter part of February, and many people went to skiing resorts in Switzerland and Austria, transferring through airports in Italy. Those that did are generally young and in good health, so there hasn't been any fatalities yet. In the beginning, all cases could be traced to someone who had been travelling. Now we have internal proliferation, and the largest cities have ordered social distancing/partial lock-down (cancelling of events, closing of schools).
If this happens often enough to be a nuisance, you could try to install it as a preload substitute for an official layout (for instance en-US), or have the admin guys put the Registry settings in an AD group policy.
At one point you could set an option to compile Boost using the C++11 runtime, but there was nothing that enforced compiling everything that depended on Boost with similar options, usually resulting in core dumps when different parts tried to use incompatible runtimes. Attempts to start a conversation on how this could be remedied was brushed away as unnecessary.
Shared objects are not only shared on disk, but their code segments are also shared in memory between executables that depends on the same libraries, lowering footprint and loading time.
The reason dependency hell arises is because there is a lack of discipline in setting the soname correctly according to a semantic versioning (i.e. someone change the interface without changing the soversion)
When soname is set correctly, there isn't really that much difference between /usr/lib and the GAC in Windows.
The Liebowitz and Margolis article doesn't really bring anything to the table; it seems to just be an attempt to showcase market efficiency or something. Take this from someone who is both an economist and have actually tried the Dvorak keyboard: I believe August Dvorak much more than the authors of this piece.
But the nice things about keyboard layouts in the digital age is that it doesn't matter: You can believe that it's all hogwash and continue clunking Qwerty.
No need, because it is simply untrue: Electric vehicles can charge on anything from 1-ph 8A 240V, to 3-ph 32A 400V, all of which can easily be provided by common urban household wiring.
If BigCompany expects its research center to crush inconvenient innovations, they're not really running a research center, they're just calling it that because they like the titles.
Indeed; journals are repos, authors are committers, reviews are pull requests. But the unit tests are insufficient, and literature references don't quite make it as a form of continuous integration.
But since UDF reserves the first 2 KB, you can put a partition table on your medium, and let the first partition start at sector 0. Usually partition programs complain about this, but the file system driver lets it pass.
There used to be a bug in the Linux version of the filesystem that prevented partitions of above 70MB or so to be created (shortints FTW!); however, that is fixed now.
Far worse is it that there is no good, unencumbered (looking at you CDDL license) version of UDF fsck.
