What, the generic Windows driver wasn't good enough...?

Try again, you still don't understand the concept.

In mathematical terms it's perfectly acceptable to talk about the limit of an expression as some value tends towards infinity. E.g.:

limit (1/x)  = 0
x→∞

NP. Yes ABS is designed to avoid exactly that issue, essentially by implementing in a mechanical way what drivers used to do manually - pumping the brakes etc.

They're "brakes" and it's "braking". Yes, I know the previous commenter got it wrong as well.

The usual problem with slamming on the brakes is that it causes the wheels to lock up and slide instead of slowing the vehicle down.

The way politicians and the political system nakedly serves the needs and interests of corporations and the wealthy, and not the average individual.

The way that the price you're quoted invariably gets bumped up by various taxes.

The insane system that is tipping, including the fact that a lot of workers are so underpaid that they rely on tips to get by.

The incessant adverts on TV for medical products, particularly prescription drugs.

Yep, exactly. We already have exceptions for these dogs now in many cases.

"Let all brave Prussians follow me!"— Field Marshal Kurt Christoph Graf von Schwerin (6 May 1757), at the Battle of Prague, immediately before being struck by a cannonball.

They already told us that their optimisations consist of them telling us to buy better hardware.

Based on how he's been acting since he became a lord, i would guess that his donations to Labour were simply to secure him the life peerage that Labour duly gave him in 2009, and since then we're seeing his true colours, including reposting a photoshopped photo of Corbyn with Hitler, and mocking the Senegal football team, saying they looked like street-side hawkers. Í think he occasionally bleats some sexist crap on xwitter as well.

He was one of the largest donors to the Labour Party, who made him a Lord. A few years later he switched sides to the Conservatives, and had been acting like the archetypal Tory gobshite ever since.

"Java 21 is chock-full of great features and if you're coming all the way from 17, there's a plethora of additions to use and get used to, but it's all for naught if you can't actually update. In this #RoadTo21 episode, we discuss all you need to know to update from Java 17 to 21: API changes that may require you to update your code (like the introduction of sequenced collections or bug fixes in Double/Float::toString and IdentityHashMap), ongoing deprecations (threading, security manager, finalization, and more) and changes in networking (like earlier URL validation and HTTP timeouts), encoding (UTF-8 by default and changes in date/time/unit formatting), the runtime (like removed options class loading), and tooling (like new warnings). We'll also go beyond the nitty-gritty details and see the bigger picture of how to best prepare and execute your Java and 3rd party updates by talking about inside.java, release notes, Quality Outreach, and much more."
