Signing up for services with a notoriously complex pricing structure, under the auspices of a company that is infamous for auditing its customers and forcing more money out of them on the basis of technicalities under threat of legal acti

No, it's not. You can do very basic selection with resistors, but you can't get above 5V (or more than a couple of amps IIRC) without using the actual PD communication protocol.

The problem is that design tends to be driven by the marketing department...

Do you think that "being competent at design" is the only requirement for designers? I would say that it's more important to be competent in determining how design is going to be understood and used by users in their individu

Not really that odd. It's easy to live without IPv6 until someone creates the IPv6-only killer app, and that makes it... not worth the hassle for most folks. I'm in a moderate-to-high technology area in the grand scheme. They la

Only if you ignore that streaming streams data in records. The creation of a record (or struct, or whatever term you want to use) is not "batching". Otherwise any 32-bit word is a nothing more than a batch of four bytes, and the

No, it really doesn't. The definition of "streaming", to me, can be boiled down to "you send individual data as soon as it's available, without collecting into groups." Batching is, by definition, the gatherin

From skimming the article, it seems that this is a munging of the terms in directions that just aren't meaningful. I've had the following view from the beginning: - Batches are groups of data with a finite size, delivered at whate

I have a 10+ year old Cisco 2960G and a pair of 10+ year old Dell R620's in my homelab, still humming happily along. So, no.

I see it more as having a sizable array of ingredients in the pantry, and using only what you need or want for a given meal.

This right here is why I bought the slightly lower-end two-speed system instead of the variable-speed system (it's a Trane, I believe). I'm just not interested in getting tied into their proprietary ecosystem. I have a relative

If your hardware has a clock >32Khz, you need FCC certification. It doesn't matter if it deliberately uses radio or not, last I checked.

Last time I looked, you still can't touch the DOM without a JavaScript shim. You can't use it to write "normal" client-side web applications without hacks and workarounds. IOW, it's a VM-style environment that pret

Reality is that the ones quietly holed up in the corner are usually doing all the unsexy maintenance-type work that the extroverts don't want to do (because it's not sexy). Nobody cares about that work... until it doesn't get

Seriously? Not everything needs to be xxxOps. And if you need a "FinOps" team to manage your cloud cost, I would argue that there's something wrong with your whole damn paradigm.

The biggest issue I have with this proposal is that reading the code in naïve fashion comes up with the wrong answer for me; YMMV. The proposed form-- foo ? { bar } Reads naturally to me as "If foo then bar", when it'

Because people rarely go to space, and it was much more dangerous when the last person died than it is today. The vast majority of flights are unmanned, just like this test was. If you want to continue playing apples to oranges though, nob

I thought the hoverslam was because the Merlin can't throttle down sufficiently to actually hover?

What makes you think this didn't happen in other industries? See the first iteration of the de Havilland Comet for a great example. The Space Industry to date has killed many fewer people than planes, trains, or automobiles.

If Falcon 1 is to be thrown into the ring for consideration due to engine similarity, then we'd have to figure out where Vulcan fits. It already flew the same kind of engines that powered New Glenn. Just a thought.

I could buy that to some degree, but not to the current insane level of price disparity. PCB production should be one of those things that is or can be mostly automated if it isn't already. Assembly is definitely already a mostly auto

It would help if they didn't charge $50 for a single raw PCB in low quantity when I can have the same board not just made, but also assembled in China for a fraction of that, shipping included. Literally. I've often wondered if t
