Hopefully my reply above gives you enough details to do some planning. The time taken to solve the assignments is probably quite individual though. One thing I would say is that it was a fairly linear amount of learning, so even if you only

I completed all of the material between January and May last year, looking at the timestamps on my disk. One of the requests on the course was to include time taken for the assignments as part of the submission. This was part of the (locall

The aircraft you found was created in 2000 [0]. The 757-200 does date back to 1983, but definitely not this one. The owning company (DHL Air) was founded in 1989, perhaps this was the date you found? Your random choice also did hit an inter

I didn't know these numbers, so I had to look them up: * Ships are responsible for 90% of international transport, their CO2 emissions accounting for approximately 2.2% of the global total of such emissions [0] * Aircraft are responsib

According to Wikipedia the S7 was first released 2016-03-11. The Oneplus 2 was released on 2015-07-28 which was one the first with a USB-C port. One of the big reasons for me getting the OP2 was the port and I'm still using it (with Li

Conductor can be used to describe more energy types than electricity. In this case they were referring to heat energy. This would be important as if you moved the energy from the hot pavement to a cold source you're cooling the small p

One explanation would be that this appears to be a combined heat and power installation [0][1]. These may not have higher thermal efficiency in generating electricity than grid sources, but as the waste heat from that cycle is used producti

A key point to understand about a heat pump is that it can move a lot more (heat) energy than the equivalent it consumes. One joule of pumping could get up to six joules of heat moved[0] - so it could be represented as being 600% efficient.

That's an A320-200 [0]. Look at the cockpit windows, they're often a good way to tell similar aircraft apart. It also has two overwing exits, so it can't be an A319 (single) or A321 (none). The engine size gives it away that

They also changed the URLs of all the recipes, which previously had dates in them (luckily the old ones still redirect for now). This was useful as recently they've been republishing a lot of old content, and it was easy to see if that

That is correct, this script will not add any encryption. It would be trivial to add however by adding gpg into the send command pipeline: /sbin/zfs send --raw -cp $snapshot | pv -s $snapshot_size | aws s3 cp - <args>
