> QR Code does have the advantage that it's easier to read by imaging software than UPC-A or EAN-13, due to the targeting patterns in the corners. That could increase the speed of scanning items. The UPC and EAN symbols have huge ta

Curiosity did get the better of me and you seem to be spamming every fucking forum so WTH. The longest time it took for anything was waiting for the file to download. The rest of this was about 5 minutes of effort. For the record I do not k

It looks like you got lucky and this proprietary format is nothing more than standard MIDI file concatenated together with perhaps some additional data that you are able to ignore +/- some header patch. Frankly this barely qualifies as

> It feels a bit like the error correction exists mainly so you can embed fancy logos in your QR code Absolutely not the case. QR codes, like most 2D matrix codes were designed for logistics and supply chain, their leap into the consumer

> nearly every camera in public and industrial use supports color This is essentially false. Plenty of industrial cameras are black and white because of their speed and light collecting advantages. This matters for high speed identificat

Sure, but GP stated wrt traffic patterns, "This is independent of whether the approach is IFR or VFR." which is not the case. For IFR, as was the case here, the LH was looking to execute an IFR approach, not ever enter the aerodro

Aerodrome traffic circuit is the ICAO term for traffic pattern, which is it what it is called in the US (it may be in the glossary but the point is that manual uses "traffic pattern" repeatedly). And this "traffic circuit&quo

A significant performance degradation due to normal use of the instruction (FSRM) not otherwise documented is a correctness problem. Especially considering that the workaround is to avoid using the CPU feature in many cases. People pay for

Not obvious. Seems like if it can be corrected with microcode just have people use updated microcode rather than litter the kernel with fixes that are effectively patchable software problems. The accepted fix would not be trivial to anyone

> They always knew how to do it, for decades Unless we're limiting to the purely theoretical this is quite the hyperbole and in that case applies equally well to the 56k modem. Size and heat are also factors. The process nodes did n

56k was not relevant for point to point communicating between arbitrary points on the network though. 56kbps dial-up worked in an asymmetric fashion with a fully digitally connected modem on one end (eg the ISP). Station to station analog m

"Fast-forward to 1962. Ma Bell begins using T-1s to connect its switching centers. T-1s are a digital communications link, not analog. The entire phone network goes digital. In a modern phone network, the only analog communication is b

Virtualbox is GPL licensed. Only the extension packs are non GPL. In any case virtualbox competes with VMWare player/Workstation/fusion which we all should know is not their core business.

It's really nothing at all like that. TTYs are the core interface of all terminals in *nix including the one you would use in any X11, Wayland or other graphical environment, those specific incarnations using something called psuedo-tt

No, what they are referring to: you could actually just exit Windows entirely, or just skip booting into it and what you would be left at is a plain real mode DOS environment. From your own reference: To end-users, MS-DOS appears as an unde
