Re double-slit, I've always wondered how they can measure a single photon AND have it pass through the slit. Why isn't the photon consumed in the process of measuring it?
I too would understand "I eliminated the bugs that were preventing our product from shipping" as you having eliminated ALL of the bugs that were preventing your product from shipping, since the set of bugs affected is clearly specified. The keyword here is the "the" in "the bugs".
Let me reply to the rest of your comment with an equally stupid conversation:
Soldier: I've eliminated enemy combatants You: GREAT! We've won the war. I'm ordering all troops back as we speak! Soldier: B-but it was just a half dozen guys and on the horizon we could see the schwerer gustav being readied.. You: BUT YOU SAID ELIMINATED! That has to mean there's literally no one left!

"eliminate: completely remove or get rid of (something)"
Exactly. And that "something" is a decent number of left turns. It's "completely" in the sense of not leaving "partial left turns".
A sentence that is otherwise unqualified that says:
"How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns"
VERY clearly means that "all left turns were eliminated".
I disagree. And FWIW, only a complete idiot might not instantly realize that there is NO WAY to eliminate ALL left turns (think unpredictable road blocks) and hence dismiss your interpretation as unlikely to be the intended one.
But I think you understood all of this already and were just looking for a way to be salty. Mission accomplished!
Apparently it triggered your drive to be pedantic on the internet. Too bad you're mistaken.
You are an idiot. Even if they're went from N left turns to N-1 left turns, they'd still have eliminated a left turn. Nowhere TFS says that *all* left turns were eliminated.
So even if there are bare dies (which aren't really bare after the 'passivation layer'), that's not the usual case. If for some reason this is required at 10GHz (which I doubt), then fair enough. The chip TFA talks about oscillates four orders of magnitude slower, and something makes me believe they won't go for bare-die.
First, a computer is a whole lot more than just a chip.
No, it really isn't, see SoCs. I doubt the external is a problem, the semiconductor interconnnects are.
But the atmosphere of Venus contains massive amounts of toxic gasses. If we have a computer chip that operates at high temperatures, what is it made of and how quickly does it break down inside the atmosphere of Venus?
Chips are never, not even on earth, exposed to the atmosphere. See also TFS, look out for where it says "ceramic-packaged".
So not only don't we have a computer that works on Venus, we don't have chips that work on Venus. TFA says that they may have a chip that operates at high temperatures but since it has not quite been invented yet we can't test the viability of said chip in Venus' atmosphere.
Where does TFA say that? What about the part where they allegedly tested an actual chip for a few weeks in venus-like temperatures and pressures?

I kind of wish he'd preserved the multiple goto labels
But eliminating those was the whole point of the cleanup. Having to maintain (and get right) the per-failure jump targets is, IMO, more of a mess than just doing the cleanup right away without jumping.
And if it's just about returning a failure-specific exit code, you could implement that without multiple labels by assigning to a variable before jumping.
Yeahh, they trying to tell you about a segfault at address 0xdeadbeef in binary blob xyz, but sorry, you don't get to debug it. tough shit. keep the money flowing anyway, k?
Slashdot Mirror
Because there's this long and boring story about people not bothering to lear^UI do.
Sorry, what do you mean by "of's"?
You are an misguided?
AFAIK the experiment typically involves photons.
Not that this is relevant to my question...
Re double-slit, I've always wondered how they can measure a single photon AND have it pass through the slit. Why isn't the photon consumed in the process of measuring it?
It was obviously a protest.
I write this on Android, which is Linux.
Bleh.
IOS [] is FreeBSD.
I wish people would stop spreading this nonsense.
immediately start out with name-calling
I wouldn't even have replied to the OP hadn't it been for their 'Worthless "journalist".'

Yes.

Worthless AC.
Is this how to make awesome crystals at home?
You've never bonded a die, have you?
No, I haven't.

Room temperature is 272K.
At least you don't need a fridge...nor a freezer, for that matter.
Okay that's pretty fucked up. I like it.

No, I prefer things to be simple and portable.
Besides, what you're doing is premature optimization, the well-known root of all evil in programming.
Sigh.
While you're free to want your OS written in assembler, I prefer mine to be written in compiler.
{
char *a = NULL, *b = NULL, *c = NULL;
FILE *f = NULL;
if (!(a = malloc(something)))
goto fail;
if (!(b = malloc(something)))
goto fail;
if (!(c = malloc(something)))
goto fail;
if (!fopen(f))
goto fail;
some code
return 0;
fail:
if (f)
fclose(f);
free(c);
free(b);
free(a);
return -1;
}
FTFY. mkay?
I often set the printer as the DMZ address on my network, because I'd rather have people sending crap at a printer than at my actual computers.
This is the dumbest thing I've read in a while.
Attacks from inside the network can typically be traced to one particular machine+user. Who's then getting fired and/or sued.
