Hand sanitizers use alcohol, not the same thing as a "prescription" antibiotic. The same resistance arguments do not really apply the same way.

they don't have resistance

It has about the same meaning as the 5 or 3 in "core i5" or "core i3". It's all marketing.

I haven't seen any evidence that they've _continued_ to donate money, just that they said "OK, we might keep donating" as a way to calm down people who were angry by the announcement.

This article (and all the others I've read) only talks about donations that happened 2 and 3 years ago.

It did, and it is now. This is one of those things that's trivial to check before you tell someone they're wrong. Not everyone could watch it exactly live. Everyone who was was kicked out.

If you haven't, take a look at the crowd sourced real-time lightning maps. Loads if sensors are scattered world-wide triangulating lightning strikes - there are even websites that estimate the sound wave as it grows & you'll hear the thunder right as the circle envelopes your location. Very fun to play around with during storms!

Basically that you can't return the chip to AMD if ecc doesn't work.

I think Firefox's Facebook container causes this

Spent the week trying to figure out how to reimplement __builtin_add_overflow (et al) on Windows and boy is it a chore. The previous implementer had literally just used operator+ in a function called "safe_add" and I was dumbstruck.

It doesn't say it's a memory barrier, but it absolutely has to be for the code to work.

I agree I should be careful with "first-order approximations", but honestly I was being gentle because I do love drdobbs. But all of the things it talked about have been replaced with things that aren't broken in subtle and hard to debug way.

Volatile simply cannot be used a general purpose, portable, synchronization primitive.

This article is nearly 2 decades old and gives very bad advice for multithreaded c++ programming. To a first approximation, volatile should never be used for multithreading safety.

On mobile I get the redirect, on my chrome desktop I don't

I set the random wiki URL to be my browser homepage years ago, so I get a random page each time I open up a new window. I suggest everyone do it!

Can you (or someone) explain _why_ the model translate to files on disk? Is it that there's a different set of operations that need to be supported? (you can't seek a socket I suppose)

Disabling animations in Android can have some surprising æffects. For me the little "car" in Lyft/Uber refuse to budge without closing & reopening the app. Some status indicators go haywire too (like loading bubbles in youtube, and fake frequency histograms in music apps).

My laptop disables animations in low power mode and ironically that makes it feel faster than "performance" mode.

Same happens in Seattle (and we have some nice services that show you the GPS locations of all the busses on the route, so you can be pretty sure an empty one is right on its way)

I have a friend who is one (I believe) and his job is to admin huge network drives that are used by R&D researchers.

They're using Debian on the laptop so there is no "second" operating system.

Processing is amazing (and what I switched to after I started hitting Flash performance limitations). They have great documentation and tutorials on their website too, and I felt it's little IDE made it really easy for beginners to get started with it.

I've been able to get gigabit everywhere I've lived so far in Seattle (through either Wave-G or CenturyLink), but I only have a sample size of '3 addresses in 2 neighborhoods'.

Cost was around $80-100/month.

Symmetric

Dynamic ip address, but CenturyLink link did not support IPv6.

I just had the time to find the timestamp, it starts about 57-58 minutes into that second video (The Cantrill Strikes Back)

it's one of these two

(I think the second one)

2013 FAA allowed Bluetooth and wifi on flights[0]. Here's a recent article on the subject of what the major airlines will allow [1]. And a screenshot for doubters of me activating Bluetooth while in airplane-safe mode, which has been a feature of every modern phone me and my friends have [2].

You used to be able to ctrl-alt-delete to skip it. They disabled that after a while though :(

Any chance you got it off an online store / a brand with an online presence? My roommates and I have been looking for one we can trust.

If you have the time he has a great video here[0] that talks about redis+LUA

The 40th anniversary of 8086 is just attention grabbing from Intel? Not every move from Intel has to be a reaction to competitors...
