I once wrote a bc script that calculated parameters for the Blackman window for a FIR filter. (Had formulas already so not that impressive) Upped the precision until it needed like 30 sec to calculate, completely unnecessarely :).

It’s capacitive :)

I typed this with a nail

People here have no idea how any of this works, or why the lighting was off.

CRT monitors did not display light intensity linearly. Remember gamma ? That was it, gamma correction. Gpu chips at the time practically had to have that in. And it didn’t even matter that much if it was a bit off because our eyes are not linear. Like remember quake ? Nobody cared quake was not color accurate.

The gpu manufacturers knew it all, be it nvidia, ati, 3dfx. Color spaces were well known, and nobody had a color accurate monitor at home anyway. Even today you can buy a monitor that’s way off.

Maybe that guy did get them to care more about it, but I can not read such a “hateful” article to make a conclusion (I did skim it).

Anyway none of it matters now when color is in 32bit floats and all the APIs support multiple color spaces.

Hokei, so. Usb “packets” are 12 bytes or something, and it’s not good for performance to stop the flow. The solution is, as always, to have a buffer. Problem is that some kernel geniuses decided that GIGABYTES is a good buffer size. This was all when spinning hdds were the standard and new fast usbs were comming, but still.

Oh, and for some reason the transfer bar sometimes works fine for me.

It’s standard practice for ram, at least it was. I remember companies being busted with warehouses of ram sticks.

I feel like you are making up words

Microwaves are ~2.4GHz, same as wifi. That is the resonant freq of water. They don’t go deep, not even close to a milimeter. And it all converts to heat.

The sun is more damageing then microwaves of same power. And ionizing radiation is the really harmful one.

Uhmm… It was always possible to make an “app” that works on all linuxes the same.

The tip heats up enough to melt solder.

I think it’s the air in the cloth that isolates, and water just fills the gaps.

He goes on about the bigger picture, while I was thinking about just manufacturing and maintenance. That graph cost going down could be due to manufacturing ramping up. You need big machines to make big machines.

It’s interesting how fast the price per kWh went down. I’m glad.

AFAIK wind hasn’t changed much in a long time. Not much to improve really. Cost is materials and labour, both going up. Probably still cheaper then coal.

Can link a video about how they work, and the chalenges tomorow if you want.

Lets say you use a variable named abcd in your function. And a variable named abcb in a for loop inside the same function. But because reasons you mistakenly use abcd inside that loop and modify the wrong variable, so that your code sometimes doesnt work properly.

It’s to prevent mistakes like that.

A similar thing is to use const when the variable is not modified.

Unix domain sockets, shared memory (classic and/or over anonymous file descriptors), file system in userspace, the (ms) ini format.

Was going to sleep when i wrote that.

Uds, shm, fuse for ipc. Ini for configs.

Having a company behind software means you can pay to have your bugs fixed. Big distros want that stability for their corporate customers. It’s no secret or anything. KDE has sponsors, but doesn’t have a direct relationship with a huge contractor like RH. Same reasoning for systemd.

Politics, basically.
