> The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) (Japanese: 準天頂衛星システム, Hepburn: juntenchō eisei shisutemu), also known as Michibiki (みちびき, "guidance"), is a regional navigation satellite system (RNSS) and a satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) developed by the Japanese government to enhance the United States-operated Global Positioning System (GPS) in the Asia-Oceania regions, with a focus on Japan.
I wonder how much of this increase is solely enabled by TSMC process upgrades, either through higher clock speeds or increased number of transistors per core? It's kind of interesting that every iteration of the M series has corresponded to a change of TSMC process.
M1: 16 billion transistors at 3.2 GHz on TSMC N5
M2: 20 billion transistors at 3.7 GHz on TSMC N5P
M3: 25 billion transistors at 4.05 GHz on TSMC N3B
For me this is 45ms to transfer the 2 kB (compressed) of HTML; the whole process takes under 60ms total, which is pretty darn close to "instantaneous" for the "complete page reload."
EDIT: I'm in Texas, so most of this time is probably just round trip time to the west coast.
This was not paid with a check, but a cashier's check, and so the money would have already been gone from their account:
From the post:
> The car was paid for with a combination of card and CASHIER’S check. Cashiers check means the amount of money is withdrawn from the bank when it’s ISSUED not cashed. so no, we did not notice extra money sitting in our account because it had already been withdrawn.
> MicroLEDs are still just LCDs with a better backlight but LCD Tech has evolved quite a lot and pixel refresh time (< 3-4ms) is not much of a problem anymore.
You're thinking of MiniLED, which is just better LEDs behind an LCD.
MicroLED is a whole different ball game, with no LCD at all. It's just red, green, blue LEDs, one for each pixel.
Weasyprint is an excellent tool for converting HTML to PDF. It has supported CSS Paged Media Module for a while; this has been very useful for making printable PDFs from web pages.
Weasyprint seems to be one of the few HTML->PDF engines out there that doesn't depend on a browser engine. It's impressive just how much works (HTML, CSS, SVG, etc), given that this is a relatively simple project compared to a full-featured browser. Performance isn't bad, considering it is implemented in Python.
This is a great idea; unfortunately now I have dozens of voicemails a week from these numbers instead of just calls. Any option to prevent them leaving voicemail?
The improvements seem to be in which thread WebRTC does work: moving more work to workers and off the main thread.
The release notes for alpha builds (e.g. [1]) link to this bug [2] "[meta] Update libwebrtc to new stable branch 2H2020", which as a number of comments about WebRTC using the main thread as its worker thread.
> those inane licenses no one reads, do we really want them to legally binding?
What all would be possible if software EULAs weren't legally binding?
One thing that EULAs typically do is reduce liability for the company producing the software. Imagine if Google/Apple were liable for damages from all the miscommunications caused by autocorrect?
> The element is cobalt, Kobalt is a brand of tools
Kobalt is the name of the element in German; @jillesvangurp's profile says he is based in Berlin, perhaps he also speaks German. (German also capitalizes nouns.)
Since the batteries cost an order of magnitude more than a catalytic converter, this could justify criminals developing more sophisticated equipment to pull it off.
Several Pacific island nations adopted DST so they could be the first into the year 2000 for tourist purposes. As a result, some countries are only in DST for a month or two out of the year.
Rubber accumulation on runways is a normal and expected situation. Part of runway maintenance at airports serving larger aircraft includes regular removal of the rubber using high pressure water or chemicals.
