Closer to 9 miles (15km). That's plenty (even though it doesn't sound like much), considering what kind of eruption this would be and how the fault lines lie.

To be entirely fair I had the exact same problem with a "knob" interface. The variable resistor in the AC knob broke down putting the AC in the "just blow air as hard as you can, always" mode. With a fully digital soluti

Reminds me of the time I decided to always start using braces for if statements. I was figuring out why this line didn't work: if(condition) doSomething() And naturally the obvious thing do to was to add a debugging stateme

I spent two summers planting for the Icelandic forrest service and I imagine that is more or less how I and my coworkers looked like (well, somewhat less feminine I suppose). You shouldn't extrapolate too much from the newspaper pictur

A few years back I had a short interaction with Kenneth Reitz. I sent an email about some issue in requests and got a reply within a minute telling me that the issue had been fixed in a release published a few hours prior. Considering how h

Actually, I think the strictness of python3 with regards to bytes/strings is particularly useful for people who speak English as their first language. python3 will force them into writing software that can work with international strin

Generally speaking, if you have physical access to device, all bets are off. Which when you think about it is the point of the whole article.

Huh, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the name was this thing: https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html . Apparently forest animals are popular in the SSL implementation writing crowd.

I'm an Icelander and I quite like this article, it is one of the better written pieces I have seen on a cultural phenomenon I relate with - and it is no exaggeration, swimming pools are quite central to our culture. I have two young ki

You'd want to separate that complexity from your kernel modules by using some intermediate, e.g. mqueues, named pipes or shared memory.

I always viewed the cause for slow IPv6 adoption as a lack of incentive - while IPv4 addresses are effectively free then where is the ROI in building an IPv6 infrastructure? I guess that when IPv4 addresses are traded in a free market it is

That's a really clever site, seems like an elaborate way to say "It depends" when the question is "What is the best country in the world".

I think the main issue with fragmentation is dealing with 2.3 (as the article mentions). Now that that's going away it's getting much better very soon so I can't agree that "it is not going to get any better". The l

The raspi has a hardware video decoder for some codecs (e.g. H.264) whereas the bbb doesn't. Hence the bbb is not very practical for htpc setup.

One thing I'm really curious about: How can you measure the accuracy of the world's most accurate clock? By definition there would be no more accurate timing device to benchmark it against so is the accuracy cited in the article o

From what I hear from my co-workers in the quality department (I work in a medical device company) it's even harder to get approval to go through regulation in China than in the US. And you most certainly cannot just base your company

You can't really, by definition. By the same logic you should be able to store 1 cubic meter's worth of data storage cube into a 1 cubic micrometer of data storage cube, which in turn could be stored in a smaller cube ad infinitum
