We shouldn't be afraid to reach out to local laboratory research groups who produce interesting papers. Even if they don't have immediate need of your time, money, or expertise, they probably know many groups where you would be gratefully welcome to pitch in and recognized appropriately.
Yeah, but removing a null check after a dereference has a solid rationale, so it’s very different from GCC taking it upon itself to format your drive.
Makes perfect sense. My brother used to SCUBA dive, and he’s Norwegian, like me, which is Northern European which includes Sweden, so we can draw a lot of conclusions about COVID response validity based on this, with regard to race.
Never fire the backend. It will blow up on you and you’ll be exposed.
I wish it were.
It should not be difficult to verify that N95 masks filter COVID virus particles effectively.
If such a study had been performed, nobody could reasonably hypothesize that, owing to the properties of the viral envelope, an N95 filter could stop nanometer black carbon particles but not COVID viruses of the same size.
It is baffling that the very basic experiment has not been done: DOES N95 FILTER COVID?
The advancement of human knowledge absolutely depends on VERIFYING assumptions. Institutionalizing common beliefs without empirical data is a crime against science.
The contract fab push exists to keep 401k funds from divesting in the near term.
Because of this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33389848 your use of Pantone colors for free causes your print shop to spend huge sums on Pantone goods and services.
Those British Abrams tanks, French paveway laser guided bombs, German Apache attack helicopters, and NATO ground troops. Without them, Desert Storm would have been more of a mild Desert Breeze.
Why? This tells me that the FBI is targeting this journalist because they don't like what he has to say. If this pattern of government behavior impacted a journalist in China, there would be little doubt as to why. I worry that the FBI is acting as a political praetorian guard.
Unconstrained zero sending is too fast; you would tend to flood the connection, causing packet loss, breaking you out of the fast path long before counter loop around. You would need to avoid saturating the network while still causing the recipient to fall behind.
That’s a very trashy hot take. Doing everything possible to demonize and replace a POTUS is American tradition dating to the Peggy Eaton affair and has contributed to a United States civil war. In recent times, Democrats objected to the Trump presidency, elected though he was, and sought to block his every move. In fact, when Trump announced the COVID vaccine initiative, the Democratic Party held congressional hearings decrying it as a dangerous waste.
I should never have watched that Dark Knight Rises aircraft shenanigans sequence, so many times. Who else can be blamed?
Bane?!
Sure there has been, in the form of the nvidia path rendering extension. https://developer.nvidia.com/nv-path-rendering
It works great, on nvidia cards. Adobe Illustrator on Windows makes good use of it. Calling the extension from C/C++ and Python is no big deal.
I would, if Firefox would stop deteriorating. They are down to miniscule marketshare and continue redesigning their GUI, disabling features, preventing ad-blocking, launching pointless annoying services. Firefox of 2014 was a far better product than Firefox of 2022.
