One thing I will suggest: you’re assuming failures are non-correlated and have an equally weighted chance per in it of time. Neither is a good assumption from my experience. Failures being correlated to any degree greatly increases the ch

I despise it because I've seen some absolutely HORRIBLE designs that excessively separate concerns (that are actually linked and shouldn't be) in the name of "testability". I would rather maintain 50 lines of clear idiom

Were they actually supporting abbreviating or just doing something like only storing the first 3 characters of the name? That feels more like something a compiler trying to fit in 8k of RAM or whatever would do.

I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be stored either as liquid or at least pressurized. Steam has something like 200x the volume of the water it’s boiled from.

One thing you can do there is have an onsite energy storage mechanism (battery, gravity, etc) and run the process 24/7, keeping the energy storage topped up whenever the cost of electricity falls below whatever threshold. Worst comes t

Funny, I'm the opposite. The idea is intriguing, but I absolutely do not want animated. I have vision issues and animation just makes everything go (more) blurry.

Did you check the prices, or did you look at a photo of a menu board? I checked the McDonald’s app for a pickup order in my city of 100k in a lcol area just now. Quarter pounder with Cheese: $5.09 Large Fry: $4.29 Total+Tax $10.34
