Totally agree with the central thesis! Engineering has constraints. Science does not. Engineering is the application of the findings of science to solve actual problems. Science does not solve actual problems, but it is critical to engine

They want the best of the best candidates but they won't offer to pay the best of the best rates. As with much in life, you get generally what you pay for. Anyone who can pass a drug test can likely go get a $20/hour job at McDon

It isn't valid for mountain bike tires, except for when you're riding your mountain bike on a smooth road. The only tests which BRR does which are likely applicable to mountain bike tires mounted to mountain bikes ridden on trails

It depends on what kinds of roads you ride on. If you're always riding nice smooth asphalt, then yes, high pressure narrow tires are going to be faster pretty much always. But if you're riding on really crappy asphalt, chipseal,

If someone would publish such a guide for each make/model/year of car, that would be a HUGE public service. Even if it's not pulling fuses or removing cables/parts, just something like "set these settings to these

Does Amazon still do this? Many of the links from that Tech Crunch article lead to 404s for me. Googling "Amazon Made for You" gives me product listings on Amazon for skin care and shaving products.

Busybox replaces a LOT of much larger apps if you’re ok with a much reduced feature set. That’s probably much of the savings.

The "manpages" and any "locale" packages are neither required nor important so are not included in a Debian minbase install. If you want them, you can install them easily with apt. I'm not sure what you mean by apt

by bradfa 2y ago
You can always build your own with a distro build system like OpenEmbedded, if you want to have ultimate control. But a minbase Debian install is reasonably small by today's standards. Doing this using the Debian installer is not as e

There’s lots of interesting myopia control techniques now for kids. Hard and soft contact lenses as well as extremely low dose dilation medications have all been shown to reduce myopia progression. Some really neat stuff that can definitely

eBay shows me a whole bunch of these SN2010-series switches in the $1000-2000 USD range. Totally reasonable for such a switch. You can step up to the SN2700 mentioned in the article for prices in the $2000-3000 USD range. All used from s

I am in that 21%. Heck, I would MUCH prefer to buy a car with no touch screens at all. All I want is a decent car ala 2004ish but with modern crash safety and headlights that don’t suck. I do not care about Bluetooth even! I realize I will

Teachers often have very little say in what they are required to teach or how they are required to go about teaching it. Often times the state or other administrators dictate what topics must be taught and how said topics must be taught.

Totally agree, but the problem with this plan is there's never any dopamine hit. Just 30 years later you look at your accounts and feel like you have enough money to live a nice life without having to work anymore. That's not ex

Although if it’s not classified as a car or van then it doesn’t need to pass crash tests or have a high speed so then maybe it’s just a glorified golf cart and at low speeds 10 miles per kWh might be realistic.

10 miles per kWh seems very optimistic even in 100% city driving only in nice weather.

Grossly underpowered compared to a fat stonking GPU, yes. But the whole BeagleY-AI board probably consumes less power at full tilt than just the fans to keep a modern 2-slot NVIDIA GPU cool. For embedded applications, the C7x DSPs are migh

Correct. Brake fluid absorbs moisture but the key is that DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 fluid then spreads that moisture evenly throughout itself, so that you never have a pool of water in your brakes but instead a dispersed low percentage of moisture

My USA health insurance used to cover the blood test for vitamin D, but stopped about 10 years ago. Now to get a blood test it's somewhere in the $70-100 extra range if I want to get that in addition to a normal yearly physical blood

You don't even need a devtmpfs in the initramfs environment, and it may or may not even persist into the fully booted system. In this case, my point is for a system where the "fully booted" state is still within an initramf

by bradfa 3y ago
It is, unless you're just trying to use an off the shelf distro as your initramfs and that distro's default init choice makes the assumption that the kernel will mount devtmpfs for it.

by bradfa 3y ago
If you want devtmpfs mounted automatically by the kernel within an initramfs, then you may need to patch your kernel slightly, like: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/25e7e777-19f9-6280-b456-6c9c782... By default the kernel

Most CD brokers will let you see all the CDs on offer and give you sorting and searching abilities. I buy CDs through Vanguard (they're my broker) and it's easy to get a table of CDs which match my search terms of duration, amoun

Agreed. I've been building CD ladders for the past year or so with shorter term CDs which are all paying higher interest than the money market accounts. CDs also have FDIC insurance. Many CD brokers allow you to buy and sell CDs on

Money market funds are not protected by FDIC. Savings accounts or CDs from banks are protected by FDIC. Your choice is likely to be made around risk. Granted, I don't think money market funds actually losing value or going to 0 is v
