The linked article is awful -- it not only doesn't contain a link to the demo (just to "nvidia.com"), but it doesn't even say what the name of the demo is... plus there's a couple of different places where the art

It's worth noting that there's basically zero proper evidence that there is any malware included with this device -- it runs an exe when inserted, but that exe appears, at a glance, to be a driver installer. Definitely not the rig

I really wish I could move my personal email over to gmail -- I've run my own local email server for 30 years, and tbh I just don't really care to do that anymore. But I'm stuck -- I exclusively use 'tagged' email a

To expand on this for @causi: The largest thing is the earth's atmosphere, because changes in the ionosphere (and a lesser degree, the troposphere) cause the signals to get refracted differently from moment to moment. Part of the data

There's pretty much never a reason (...normally, but see below) you'd use a separate satellite for the time -- you do need four satellites to solve for X/Y/Z/time, but you solve them together. Basically, there&#x2

At one point (I don't know if it's still the case) for certain launches the US government laid claim to "100% of the thrust available from a booster" or somesuch, basically not leaving anything left over for landings. I&

I'm impressed at just how hard it is to see what catppuccin actually looks like in VSCode without installing it first. The catppuccin github has no screenshots, and the catppuccin-for-vscode github/site has exactly one screenshot,

I think the answer to literally every question that starts with "Why does the US..." is going to always be: profits Profits are the only yardstick by which anything in the US is measured. Everything else is secondary.

I suspect having a color coding material/technique that can apply to random bits of random plane parts, that won't get rubbed off / broken off / obscured by dirt/grease/grime/etc, consistently throughout t

Neat, if so! Where do you see that, though?

Actually, UTC -is- continuous. Even with leap seconds. At no point does UTC go backwards, at no point does a second happen twice, and at no point does a second change in length -- your 'extra' second happens as 23:59:60; when ther

Hasn't happened, but it may actually happen in the next half-decade or so. If not, it's almost guaranteed to happen ~25 years from now.

One thing that I found amusing/interesting/horrifying back when I read about this originally is that you can measure the computer reboot time in feet . IIRC, in the problem vehicles, the reboot time was something like 150 feet @

They also followed almost none of the guidelines in the MISRA C standard, which is a standard developed by the automotive industry specifically for helping to ensure that code running on car computers is up to at least some standard.

IIRC, they did identify a bit that if it were flipped in a certain way at a certain time, would lead to the struck throttle condition, and were able to successfully replicate the stuck throttle condition by 'manually' flipping tha

One thing I don't see mentioned -- why is the write load so high? Can anyone from Roblox say? (I have a specific reason for asking.)

Related, does anyone know if there are any good tools for learning things about a graph (not necessarily a graphviz graph, but that'd be fine!)? Things like... take a graph from me and identify all the "islands" that don&

I really hope Streamlabs paid a ton of money for this "cooperation", but from the wording, I doubt they did (since otherwise they'd be listed as a sponsor, etc, etc). Which... I'm not sure why the OBS team would do this.

Or just... wrong. I know a bunch of people that prefer manual transmissions. And every single one of them also prefers loud music while they're driving.

I love Backblaze, I really do, but holy hell is the user experience bad if you ever need to actually interact with any part of their software -- client or website. And it's been that way forever, and it's super frustrating that it

I don't suppose you have any idea if there are publicly available motion amplification tools, yet?

I came here to say exactly this. Ligatures make a -huge- difference to me, please offer some example text that makes use of them. Also, please make it an option to hide the font names so that it is a true blind comparison. Awesome idea, tho

Git was not intended (AFAIK) to be cryptographically secure. Being unsuitable for crypto != being unsuitable for other uses.

I'd say they should do one of these for police shootings, except the whole system would probably overload and melt down.

Everybody is mentioning Bitwarden as a replacement, but what about Dashlane? I've had my eye on Dashlane for a while, and it seems on-par with lastpass, so I'm confused why it isn't mentioned in this discussion more. (to be c

From the article: > Why is it 119.88 Herz, not 120 Herz? No idea. The short version of this is that TVs generally have framerates that are a multiple of 59.94, because NTSC is actually 59.94Hz (rather than 60), for various historical rea

To be fair, they didn't actually think they'd discovered faster than light travel. They basically went "uhhhh, we double-checked everything and our numbers work out but we're pretty sure this isn't faster than light

Now, if only someone could make Wacom drivers that make the Wacom touch functionality interface better with Photoshop and friends, rather than just handing keyboard shortcuts to them. Somehow, that's the best Wacom has managed to do, w
