The speed of light in a vacuum is always the same, but not through dielectric media such as water or glass. In diamond it is less than half the speed.

You can generate yourself a free Libero Silver license, which needs regenerating every year, but yes flexlm is annoying.

Software engineers can sometimes find it difficult as with a HDL you (should) describe hardware that exhibits the intended behaviour, rather than just directly describing the behaviour. HDLs have familiar syntax that makes it seem like you

Not immoral, just more culpable. Is it immoral not to kill oneself as being alive makes one more likely to kill someone?

>Except it was never claimed to be any of those things. Not by its inventors, but by its management-type evangelists. Which do you think the mayor had in his ear?

I love seeing teardowns of old space tech. Having worked on safety critical projects I know that if something is proven and works it is generally not replaced unless something substantially better comes along, so I wonder if the soyuz still

Scrolling quickly through the .txt version of this paper on my phone feels like a visual expression of the internet dial up sound.

We had German aupairs when I was younger who introduced us to it. They were surprised we'd never heard of it before, but it's excellent.

These perovskites are notoriously difficult to deposit at scale in a uniform enough layer to be effective, with small variances causing dramatic drops in efficiency. On the cool side, it's theoretically possible to make them translucen

On the whole, at this point in time, I agree. For general purpose NVM stuff you're better off going with the less exotic, but SRAM isn't suitable for this specific use case. Some eNVMs are essentially analogue (CBRAM, OxRAM, PCM e

That's partially true, there are other tradeoffs that can be made to optimise power and thermal dependence at the cost of something else but both specific use case and fab availability/reliability need to be factored in.

It depends, with ReRAM the ion mobility in the dielectric layer can be tuned, lower mobility means a higher voltage is required across the cell for filament growth but a lower thermal dependence.

Are there significant projects that run Haskell on arm specifically? Smartphone apps or just new Macs?

This gives me some cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, having a common connector will reduce waste and be much more convenient (eg "Hey have you got an iPhone charger?") and make losing a charger a cheaper mistake. On the other

If you sneak "eject" into a shell script somewhere then, permissions allowing, it will suddenly open the users optical drive if they have one. This works extra well with laptop drives that are spring loaded.
