Surely the consumption is reduced when they are sitting in port idling? And do ships really need a higher voltage than common industrial power? (480v, 3 phase) I realize 480v is dangerous but not unmanageable.

In theory that would be one of the strengths of the federal system in the United States. In practice, unfortunately, most laws are homogenized and nationalized instead of letting states differ significantly. There are some major difference

I'm no fan of YAML but for an example of templating YAML that is tolerable, take a look at esphome[1] (and I suppose also home assistant). In your main yaml file you have something like this: packages: left_garage_door: !includ

Wikimedia's operations team go through a full-datacenter failover regularly. That is, once every 6 months or so. It takes several hours of intense all-hands-on-deck operations. They do this repeatedly in order to be sure that all of th

My theory is that the bagel button does one thing only - it illuminates the bagel button when you press it. I've seen toasters with functional bagel mode but my latest cheap crap toaster does precisely nothing different when the bagel

You could also use the git protocol and a simple load-balanced pool of replicas that each pull from the main repo constantly. All push traffic would be routed to the central repo and all fetches would be routed to a random replica. To do i

This sounds wonderful. What is step 1? It seems overwhelmingly difficult to make real progress towards anything like this with so much money/power entrenched behind the status quo.

Facebook release engineering famously kept riskiness scores for each developer and used that as a signal for whether that developer's changes got deployed or instead received extra scrutiny based on a history of broken deployments.

Really interesting!! I wanted to implement this kind of system at Wikimedia but I quit my release engineering job at the beginning of 2022. Still think about this specific problem pretty often though. I never thought to use the score in

I can't believe that this seems to be such a minority perspective. I find it horrifying how many people seem to default assume that censoring is a good thing. The internet may be harmful but it's not just a few explicit sites that

I think this is the most likely explanation for why systemd includes everything but the kitchen sink. For consistency, and ease of maintenance, having it all under one umbrella is certainly a benefit (for the developers of systemd.) Also,

This is actually really similar to something I've been wanting to build for a long time. In my case I've thought it would be useful to have a way to calculate the likelihood for a given change to break things based on the history

That is an awesome idea. I will try to remember that this summer. I always grow a lot of sunflowers each year so there are plenty of opportunities to shoot something like that.

Humans have already killed 600 million animals for meat this year and the year is only 4 days old. Humans aren't the only relevant creature on this planet.

The esp32 has i2s[1] and there are a variety of i2s DAC chips for very reasonable prices. Amazon has what looks like a reasonable low-cost choice, the PCM5102 breakout board for $12 [2] 1. https://docs.espressif.com/projects

Humans are absolutely terrifying. The most scary and dangerous of all creatures. I'm sure humans kill far more than any other animal. Perhaps only bacteria and viruses exceed the level of scary that humans have attained. But ants are p

Have you seen what else ants can do? They are full of insanely impressive/scary/smart behaviors. Ants farm aphids. They don't just find aphids and collect their "honeydew" excretions. They actually bring the aphid
