Because most of the time the 11.99 is in a date series. So, the 11.01 item is probably not referred to much, and it's easy to zip down to stuff you're doing now. But 100 subfolders are too much to actually go looking through, espe

You have a problem user, named Aragorn. You ban him. Two months later, he makes a new account named Estel. How do you associate his new account with his old account, so you know not to approve it? I've done moderating of an phpBB forum

I think with decomposed Hangul, you can end up with 6 or more bytes per character, due to each part of it being two bytes, and 2-4(?) parts per character.

For regular forums, you need the IP address for helping to protect against SPAM and making sure banned users stay banned. Analytics can help see if you're having issues with the server, or if someone is putting unnecessary load (client

The general idea is that a cup of rice is the main portion of the meal, and the rest of the meal is add ons (mostly veggies with a bit of meat). If the rice is just a side to the entree, then yeah, you're going to be eating less of it.

It inverts where the apex seal goes. So instead of having it on the rotor, and hard to lubricate, it goes on the housing, which is much easier to lubricate.

The f/1.5 is an actual rating. It's the ratio between the focal length and the diameter of the pupil. It's important for shutter speeds, and relative performance in low light (before all the computational duckery). I can comp

This is actually an engine limitation. It's to keep the turbine blades from melting. Unfortunately, you can't measure the turbine inlet temperature very well, because of the whole melting thing. So they determine what the limit sh

Current interceptors do not use nuclear warheads. This makes it both cheaper and more expensive. It requires a more complicated hit to kill system than merely getting the nuclear warhead close enough. However, the system as a whole ends up

Strategically, the ICBM fields are warhead sponges. Each one only has a single warhead, but you'd want to target each of the silos, plus each of the launch control centers with more than one warhead, in order to keep them from launchin

Throughput. There’s enough people going from one island to another, that is cheaper on pilots to have one bigger plane than several smaller ones, and it’s easier to fit into the limited number of slots for take off and landing.

That said, we both know the shape of the SR-71, and the Compressor Inlet Temperature limit. The shape determines the smallest Mach angle that the entire plane fits inside, which gives a value for the maximum speed. The CIT limit gives a val

There's such a thing as a tax lien, so if you sell or transfer, the government can get its taxes then. Or, you know, refunding the excess value of the property, if the government forecloses on it.

If someone was under a NDA, and you asked them about stuff covered by the NDA, and they answered "I can't say", most people would not call that a lie. "Can't say" implies that aren't allowed to say, not th

The correct part of the legend is that the speech he was reading off of said SR-71, because someone thought it sounded better, and getting it spoken by the President was easier than doing it the "Right" way.

The 4GB model is 7B, AFAIK. It’s just quantized down to 4 bits instead of 16.

I’ve got 100 employees that need to get paid this month, and they need to get paid $7500. How can I not have more than $250k without having to do really complicated stuff that will make my accountant hate life? A quarter mil is a lot for a

This implies that you can buy a starter house. The problem is that they stopped building them, so it’s a decreasing proportion of the houses built. And that’s largely because of increased regulation making it unprofitable to build small ins

With a Roth IRA, you can withdraw the principle penalty free, while the earnings stay in the account. Also, you can withdraw 10k for buying a house from either IRA type, penalty free. You lose out on the future earnings from that withdrawal

It’s a sorting of all the mail to the mail carrier level, so yes, they do only need to look at the door number. Similarly the ZIP+4 in the US will give down to some fraction of the mail carrier’s route, that they can then sort to a monotoni

Zip+4 + delivery point is for the set of mailboxes. If you each have individual mailboxes (not clustered), the 11 digit code is enough. Or house number plus scrawl plus zip+4.

The controller is because they aren't integrated into radar, or the target doesn't have enough of a signature, or it's not in an area the radar can see, and AI vision isn't good enough to pick them out of the image yet.

This presumes that the big ass heatsink metal can effectively receive the heat from the laser. This is part of why some lasers are pulsed: the average power is not too high, but the instantaneous power is high enough to cause the surface of

Supercontinuum lasers are actually white, in that they are a broad range of frequencies of light. It is recommended you don't try to use laser safety googles with them, as there is no specific frequency you can guard against. Whether t
