A local newscast reported earlier this week that a measure to place a ballot issue for the Colorado voters to do away with daylight saving time is shortly to be introduced (or has been by now) to the Colorado Legislature.
Anyway, my question is: what is MMIX, and how does it differ with MIX which was rather limited, even for the 6502 programmer I was at the time ?
MMIX is a 64 bit RISC-like processor that reflects where CPUs were headed in the 1990-2000 time frame. I found the algorithms coded in MMIX assembler to be much easier to understand than the original MIX versions. There are one or more simulators and tool sets available for it if you want to actually test some code.
I get motion sick if I try to read anything (book, map, phone, computer) in a moving car or train.
I also suffer from motion sickness, but sometimes I can manage to read in the morning on a regional bus route if the bus suspension and the road surface are in good condition and traffic is not stop and go. Later in the day there is no way I can do that. I expect it would be the same in an autonomous vehicle, so I probably wouldn't gain much time, if any.
5 minutes & a screwdriver will easily fix that switch...
Its worse than that. The only fixture in the room is one of those old lights with the small two prong shaver style outlet included in the light housing. Until I get the enthusiasm to start dismantling walls to install outlets and retile, etc.
I agree with this fully. Sometimes those stupid things insist on beeping even when you think you've disabled the audible alarm. Fortunately my current models turn the audible alarm off when told to do so.
... or mounted with LEDs facing away from people: not in a location where the LEDs will be visible from a sleeping area.
I've been bothered by the LED on my cordless toothbrush flashing during its charge cycle, even while the (green) LED was facing away from my bed directed at a light colored wall. My master bath has an outlet that is only energized when the light fixture is on, so I either have to charge it in the bedroom during the day or take it into another room if it needs to be charged overnight. The blue lights from my workstation in another room are clearly visible at night in my bedroom if the doors to the rooms are open. Like others have mentioned, I've resorted to using colored vinyl tape to cover the overly bright LEDs on things to reduce the intensity to something reasonable.
Posti has developed new home-delivered services to add more work to mail delivery operations,” the statement said. “Traditional mail volumes are falling, but mail routes nevertheless reach some 2.8 households on every weekday.
If I only delivered to 2.8 households each week day, I'd have a lot of spare time on my hands too.
Fortunately, things were a bit slower back then and glob ordering being what it is I was able to ctrl-C it before it got further than/bin. With rcp being in/usr/bin/, I was able to (carefully) recover from another system.
I also did that years ago on a Sun 1 system, only got part way through/bin. Recovered the contents of/bin from a release tape. Learned to be a bit careful after that.
like i'm going to dump my ipads and phones to buy this
Well, if you actually like to read a lot, it might be worth it (to acquire an e-paper reader, not dump your other stuff). The e-paper displays are readable outdoors in full sunlight, unlike LCD displays. I did try my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 with its AMOLED display outdoors, but had to turn it up to full brightness to even see it, with the resulting loss of run time. I also had to go back indoors first to find the brightness slider. It also suffered from reflected light glare, which my Kindle Voyage does not so much.
I might be 6'10 for all you know. Perhaps clothing manufacturers make pockets that don't open enough for my large hands to fit along with my tree trunk thighs and a large phone. It certainly isn't clear why my preference should matter one bit to you.
I'm all for having choices but I'm willing to bet anyone going back to a 4" screen is going to regret it within a day or two.
Maybe, but for those of us who still use 4" phones, this is a nice option. Personally, I don't want a larger phone, I'd like mine to fit into my pockets without a struggle, and to fit my hand nicely without feeling like it wants to jump out. If I need to use a larger screen, I'll switch to my tablet, laptop or desktop.
AFAIK, that's not to change the long term frequency, but to allow more phase noise.
You are right, I thought, however I had read something about the variations could run for extended lengths of time and that corrections might be applied to bring the total cycle count to the correct value only on a daily basis.

Yep, they needed to use a different font for that sign. I wonder how long was that sign up before some busy body filed an obscenity complaint?
Did you watch the video? That is a speedy printer when you can hit the entire width of the page with ink.
Does auto unlock disable itself if the watch is removed from contact with your arm or if your pulse stops?
I neither wear a watch nor carry any time-keeping device.
I guess you don't carry a cell phone either? :-)
No, it was because nothing worth seeing has come out in years.
You know how Hollywood could increase ticket sales? They could try making films that don't suck.
I agree with this statement 1000%

This will get really fun the day someone manages to make an CPU on his own garage.
Might be hard with the birds landing in the middle of the clean room. :-)
This link returns a 404 now also.

Where is this survey?

Yup, that blue link in a blue-green title bar is exceeding easy to miss. That is a real UI fail.

I never see ads, have about three layers of blocking technology discarding the crap of today's web experience.

Wi-Fi calling works on the iPhone 5s.
Not according to AT&T.
iPhone Sucker's Edition: why get a 5S when you can get the same for twice the price?
Because it will do additional things the 5S won't, like WiFi calling and ApplePay.

In the U.S. it is extremely accurate.
Except you should be aware of the plans to relax the tolerance of the mains frequency to better deal with variations in load.
