Why is a 7zipped file larger than the raw file? Proof by contadiction. Hypothesis: Suppose it is always possible to compress a file with a lossless algorithm. Step1. Single compression makes an output file smaller at least by one bit. If so, after a number of iterations we will end up with a file that has only two bits. Step 2 Next iteration makes a file of a size of 1 bit. Step 3 But the compression algorithms is lossless, which means there is only one valid decompression allowed. Clearly you cannot restore 2 original bits from 1 compressed bit - you will have to make a guess. The last point violates the hypothesis. |

Computer architecture: Are USB keyboards less responsive due to narrow IRQ range? @PPC in reply to your edit. If the system hangs, both keyboards wouldn't solve the problem. Go for hard reboot. |

Computer architecture: Are USB keyboards less responsive due to narrow IRQ range? @PPC if you design a device driver, then USB kbds could possibly be slower for nano- to micro- seconds. If you are interested in any user-level code, then the code remains blocked when any IRQL of level > 1 is being handled. So it doesn't matter if kbd IRQL equals to highest IRQL or medium IRQL. User code is blocked. |

How to recover my source code? @DanielBeck the easiest way not to get into such situations is to commit often. My suggestion was to fix the root problem, rather than to fix a single failure. If one cannot update code from the repository, it is a much bigger trouble (given this is production code). |
