A good example, especially if you are interested in any facet of video imaging, is [0] and here is why: 1) it provides standards references, 2) it provides usable first approximations you can execute right away to verify them, 3) its examples are well-selected. Since my company supports about the most conservative industry on Earth, we have to convince layers of bureaucrats we know what we are doing and the concepts therein helped us do it. We will not necessarily buy the company's products, but they certainly gave us some ability to attach numbers to what was a bit hand-wavy. In return the company is now 'of interest'.
mostly straightforward, but a question: should you use 'Antigua and Barbuda' as the country question would you have it as V__V_VV/V__/_V__V_V ? The rules are easy to get used to through the intro but edge cases may get odd.
That's my metric. A VF display is OK but an LCD, especially on kitchen appliances or white goods, is just about a guarantee of a short life span - never mind a touchscreen.
so long as a man rides his HOBBY-HORSE peaceably and quietly along the king's highway, and neither compels you or me to get up behind him,--pray, Sir, what have either you or I to do with it?" - Laurence Sterne
Reminds me of 'countdown roulette': system managers have buttons to slap if they want a launch hold. About the time batteries are initiated ("squibbed") a number of those buttons get pushed but the earliest of the bunch is the one who gets the blame for the hold.
It's hard to know what to mourn more here: the subsumption of NSU into Volkswagenwerke AG, or the demise of Citroën in the USA. Both manufacturers had genuinely fresh ideas; both provided truly mold-breaking machinery.
Guardian is behind the times. Languedoc, Roussillon, and Midi-Pyrénées have been subsumed into a region now called Occitanie. Bordeaux lies in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. And the statistics [0] show it isn't even close: Occitanie raises 2.5 litres of wine for every litre from Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
It is beyond dispute that the value of the wines are different. Bordeaux' wines are on average much better than Minervois', but wine lakes are the province of Occitanie.
The article says Ive's consultancy contributed the power/ speed control button and the hinges. It isn't as though they let him play with anything important.
GrapheneOS has implemented storage and contact scopes. Users can set a program's permitted storage environment. Similarly, contact scopes allows users to limit access to contacts that are tagged with a keyword. On my phone the 'special' contact group includes Djimn Hovnbg, with a number in Egypt, Blin Futtum'ch with a UK number, and so on.
Could be but my understanding is the D stands for débrouiller (se débrouiller = take oneself out of the fog). Kind of like the American "National Awareness Day" where people are encouraged to extract their heads and take note of the people in their surroundings.
Brilliant. Apart from Freeling's "The Kitchen Book / The Cook Book" système D appears throughout French culture including the record "Système D" by Les Rita Mitsouko. It stands there encouraging those who get it to understand and overcome despite one's being knee-deep in sewage.
Reminiscent of '1984' is this tendency to bowdlerize art some people find offensive. It is literally editing the past, and it is a danger because someone is deciding what is to be edited, and it is probably not you or I.
Yup. I lost any respect for Vero Beach, Florida police when they used a pretextual stop - dim, not missing, license plate light - to ask that they search my car. I'm a dull SOB but that pushed the wrong button and I declined. With all the foofaraw those clowns wasted 45 minutes of my life.
That is due to a species of yeast called Brettanomyces, usually shortened to brett. Judicious use of brett can impart smoky or leathery characteristics - lumped together politely as "barnyard" or "horse blanket" notes in beer or wine.
