I was checking with top, but it's the same value. A double restart of the docker engine + changing the memory settings seems to have it holding. It's like an upgrade just ignored the previous setting.

Good reminder that I needed to do this. Docker for me had gotten up to 13GB even though I have it supposedly limited to 8.

More than lat/long and UTM coordinates, there are many unique coordinate systems that are sometimes used for quite small jurisdictions. For example, EPSG:7595 is valid Chippewa County, Wisconsin [0]. A big gotcha with some of these sys

For 3, I think you're likely needing a bachelor's in EE or more these days. I have some friends who do this and a lot of the hand layouts are for standard cells or high speed analog parts where you need the EE knowledge to underst

Because you cannot simply replace conventional rotational generators with inverters. The inertia of the turbomachinery smooths out fluctuations in the grid keeping it stable. Lots of details in [0]. So without lots of hydro or synchronous w

Not related to the content of the article, but that has to be the worst page scrolling experience I've ever come across. Something steals focus and scrolling breaks until you click on the page.

Does this mean that the meta-material lenses are custom built for each relay station? For example, to bend the beam around fixed obstacles like a mountain. Do you believe this will be a barrier to manufacturing and installation? Or are you

If you are using 2.4 GHz, how are you remaining in the near field yet extending the distances out to many km? At 2.4GHz, λ is approximately 0.125m. Since the wavelength is small, the antenna is likely to be "electromagnetically long&qu

Yeah, there aren't enough details here to prove the claims. Not to mention, how much power do the "transmitting relays" use. Those sound like they need to be active devices that require a power source. Yes you can siphon off

How do you reconcile the fact that this would still require local storage or generation resources at the receiving end? If to make this safe there are lasers to detect beam intrusions and shut off the link, users who require a steady supply

If you know your way around it, Keycloak is good. But it seems quite easy to get into some paint points. I was using it recently and accidentally sent something that wasn't valid JSON. Instead of a 400 return code with some kind of mes

Yes, that could be done but it requires setting that up beforehand. In the scenario I outlined, deciding to go for a drive on a whim, i.e. not pre-planned, this is still a problem that technology cannot solve.

Working in the energy space, I don't know why a driver would want this. It's the same problem with V2G schemes. It means that you could decide on a whim to go for a drive, walk out to your car, and find that it has no charge.

There are many factors that affect the phase angle. Path length is one, so is the impedance of the lines (a line with double the X will get the same phase offset in half the length). Other equipment will have phase offsets such as transform
