The ironic thing is that during the same period, 110V powered electric shavers - which most likely spurt out noise all over the RF spectrum - were perfectly acceptable to use on aircraft.

I guess the simple way (hoping I don't put evil ideas into the heads of landlords) would be an auction before the existing contract is up. For example, you can bid on an apartment to be available from October. At the end of the auction

Definately consider if you want to become part of management. Other than a more glamorous title I don't think it's really worth it (in Europe). For most companies pay is not much more than engineers, and in some cases can be lower

This is idea behind GS1 Digital Link [0], basically QR codes to replace barcodes. The QR code will contain a URL which when scanned provides product information to the consumer. The format of the URL is defined by the standard, so it can co

I guess the reason why this is the case is that code at that time was much lower level, and often had exclusive control of the CPU. I've toyed around with microcontrollers before with Assembly and C, and I found it fairly easy to hold

In my country the price of roof mount solar is now under €2000 for 10kWp. That includes government subsidies, however they are not that high (€350 per kWp). Texas is a much richer economy than where I live, so I see no reason why it couldn&

Right, I'd imagine this comes up when OP mention JSDoc and the interviewer asks "Why didn't you use TypeScript?". Instead of going into an 10 minute rant about how you are holier-than-thou, just say "Oh the framewor

The changes to the market are not just in the US though. Admittedly the US has ripple affects worldwide, but if you take the UK for example, the contracting market is basically non-existant now.

As a Brit, who now lives in the EU, I would agree with this. Bear in mind that London and the rest of Britain are very different places.

In my part of Europe, half of the major retail chains have had this for quite a few years. I actually didn't realise what it was until one day I went in and it was broken, as all the price labels were flickering. The price displays use

The 100% charge thing is also for balancing, as most BMSs are pretty dumb and only use passive balancing. When an individual cell reaches a set voltage, a resistor is turned on which bleeds the excess power preventing that cell from overcha

What hardware do you need to make the slider? Other than that and finding displays of the correct dimensions, with a 3D printer it should be pretty simple to make.

I just use 'plain' cardboard in my garden - the brown stuff with text printed in one colour. It's pretty easy to get hold of from supermarkets. The multicolour stuff I send for recycling.

At my 9-5 we make kiosks based on a custom Linux system. Everything is run within Docker containers, so even if you somehow kill the UI it'll just restart the container. VT on the host OS are disabled. I can see why most companies pref

A deposit for car rental is normal. If you provide a credit card they reserve the amount without actually charging you. But if you only have a debit card or your credit limit is too low, they cannot do that. So you have to pay upfront, and

If you compare it to the rest of Europe for those criteria I think it would be pretty far down the list. I'm from the UK but have been living in Europe (EU) for half a decade, and I'd say where I live now is much better than the U

I cycled to work in Central London in 2009-2011 and again in 2018. The infrastructure wasn't great, but I always kept to the road (you aren't allowed to cycle on standard pavements in the UK) and never had any major incidents or a

Not OP, but I use TypeScript because it adds a layer of safety to the codebase. It's like having good test coverage - you can make large changes and if the tests pass (the code compiles), you can be fairly confident that you didn'

This is pretty apparent in UK high streets too. Whenever I visit my parents, the high street of their local town feels dead compared to when I was a kid. 100 years ago this town was the trade capital of the region. Half the shops are boarde
