Yes! His power supplies are 2x1500 Watt. That puts it at 3KW max which is more than a 20A circuit can provide (2400W). The standard outlet is typically rated at 15 amps or 1800W. And the 15A breaker is on one circuit. You can get 20A cir

I would assume if you're an overworked cop in an underfunded police department, it's gonna be hard to prove a murder from what looks like a suicide. A toxicology is going to cost money and maybe not actually provide any more detai

Github copilot still sucks for writing complex code (algorithms or database queries, e.g.). Or trying to do unpopular things (like custom electronics using particular micros and driver chips). For unit tests, it's a godsend. Particul

All you need is a 4x 4090 GPUs and a dedicated 30 amp circuit.

So these guys [1] mention something similar where HDMI from a TV is backfeeding 40-50 volts into a cable box. This could be because of many things from electrical outlet wiring to power supply issues on the monitor to a bad component on th

There's a recent trend of people designing custom keyboards for their own accessibility needs. So this is a random thought, no idea if it would work. A couple of popular keyboard firmwares are open source. I'm thinking it could

What if you can do that with magic and comedy both at the same time? You get someone like Markobi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJX-z0O9TOE

The larger problem are things that have global effect: databases, caches, files, static memory, etc. Or protocols between different systems. These are hard to abstract away, usually because of shared state.

Isn't that a product of the industry? Python has one groupthink, Golang another. Martin Fowler's company is named "Thoughtworks". I guess he's trying to control the way we think about stuff?

Please, please don't follow this advice. A lot of people are just as busy as you are. If you don't want to fix its fine. But maybe at least tell people how to fix it, so that the person who scratches that itch has an idea about

The US greenback is defended by a country with a very strong defense that includes a nuclear weapon arsenal. How does bitcoin defend itself?

Higher wages should create more demand, and that should create pressure to raise prices. On the other hand, if people were going into debt with high interest credit cards, then it's very possible that demand doesn't actually chang

It would also be cool if it were guaranteed up to a certain amount, very much like FDIC does for amounts smaller than $250k.

Do the users care about that? Or just the management? And mouse drivers aren't typically cross platform anyway, right?

One example of a 500 error is a null pointer error. Was it a bad request or a logic error? One is your problem the other is not. Just returning a 400 hides that issue. Validating the payload before processing it simplifies the issue for

I think the problem is that I would like to have an image stabilized version of that. Even small ticks of you fingers amplify quickly into shaky images. I think instead of an eyepiece (or in addition to one) most consumer telescopes should

Normally you should attempt to find all the corner cases and present the errors to the user -- before processing the request. If you can't do this, it's time to rethink how your api works. A good api is simple to use and simple

My favorite example of this was renaming a 500 error due to an unhandled exception to a 400 error to make it look like it was the error of the caller. Management was also possibly tracking 500 errors too, so the 400 could also have been ga

It's more like an aggro soylent of programming languages. It's functionally equivalent to other food intake products, but it will only ever have one flavor, and if you complain about it, they just tell you to drink more soylent b

I think this (or something like it) could be profoundly interesting and useful, and perhaps laden with fewer chemical processes than traditional pcb making. We're printing an alloy and sticking it to some fiberglass. What's not

Agile was introduced as a way for coders to empower themselves, and make changes to the software process for themselves. But management came in and started mucking it up. They added more bureaucracy, added silly requirements such as mandat
