To stretch out the metaphor, asking a knowledgeable coworker could be "read from RAM", then documentation could be "read from disk"; or vice versa. But I find having someone to bounce questions off of easier than reading

Not op, but I bought one. It's essentially a Linux laptop with a control interface built in. For emulators and steam games, it's really nice to have an option to play on the tv (with the dock). I don't see it being an especia

It mostly comes down to the fed, and their response to inflation. If you think their response will reign inflation in check, we'll probably see the market 'crash' and a recession like the late 80s. If you think their response

I think for something this checking the source for the generation algorithm is fair game. here it is: function randomInt(n) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * n); } function randomPassword() { let letters = 'abcdefghi

I'd say it depends on what you're shooting. I have a d5600 and Z5. The Z5 is better for baby pictures. The d5600 is still better for hiking and travel pictures. The Z5 is better under low-light and dynamic subject conditions. Part

Everyone is hesitant to make change because "it's going to cause too much economic impact". If someone demonstrates that it's possible to change without screwing over their economy, it's likely other states and coun

For me, the biggest benefit of the university structure was 1) teaching me things I didn't even know existed and 2) teaching me things I didn't think we're important (but turned out to be). (1) might be solvable with an onlin

my guess is that people that are well off (rich) still have their income stream. A lot of tech workers, CEOs, etc are working from home. It's poor (or middle class) people (working in retail, tourism, food) that are disproportionately

I just looked it up and turns out that's my favourite stroke! I didn't know it had a name, I just called it the "Jellyfish" :) I don't think I was ever taught it. I think I just discovered it playing around in the w

The main reason its only for illegal activities right now is because (for almost every case) it provides no advantage over using a credit card. The biggest problem is the user now owns liability. With a credit card, if someone steals your c

No, by cycles they mean charge cycles. 2-3 times a week is 166-250 weeks. About 3-5 years of active use.

my understanding was that it was in administrative limbo. Britain owned Hong Kong, and China claimed authority over just to spite them. So Britain left it alone. But China didn't care enough to actually administer it. And besides, it w

Dumb question: with the first example (twilight), wouldn't raising the exposure in post be functionally equivalent and have the same amount of noise? You are taking the same signal and boosting it to a desired gain, whether in camera

I think that's the implication. Earlier they had demos of YouTube integration, so i imagine they would have demo's or some way to play before buying (?)

This headline is misleading. The $130 is for the "Founders Edition", which is an early access with additional hardware (controller + 4k chromecast). The $10 a month is for 4k access (instead of the default 1080p) and free games (a

For anyone else looking into Rust, I've been experimenting in it for the past month. Heres my thoughts: It advertises itself as a systems level language for the new age, but to me it feels like a functional language in disguise. The bo

I've had spruce beer on a few occasions and it's exactly what it sounds like. Bubbly liquid spruce. If you peel a few needles off of a Christmas tree and chew on them, you'd get the same flavour.

one idea: attacker accesses recovery answers for site A. Sees that it is random characters. Attacker has access to site A. Attacker phones sites B,C,D and E, trys social engineering. Attacker now has access to site B,C,D,E also.

I imagine it depends on the resolution. Taking it to the extremes you can imagine the horizon matched by 2 points a straight line slope. That may match many ridgelines. To the other extreme you can imagine a resolution down to the millimete
