Maxing out at the 12900T means they are using laptop-level SKUs. The nominal TDP of 35W [0] is what you see in high end, performance-oriented laptops. Unsophisticated thermal designs can handle this easily. I have a cheap fanless mini PC fr

If you are near a window or other hole in the wall, you can duct your exhaust outside pretty easily. If you are near a lesser used room, you can shove your desktop on the other side of the wall and run the cables you need through. Or you ca

I believe, but do not know how or where to find a conclusive answer, that the minimum amount of information[0] required to deliver a piece of US mail is street, number, and ZIP. The rest of the information forms a rudimentary logical checks

ZIP codes do need five numbers, or nine with a hyphen between the first five and last four. If your address is not in the US, you do not have a ZIP code. A ZIP code is type of postal code. There are many more postal code varieties than ZI

One of my favorites on this topic is US ZIP codes. Most people tend to think that ZIP codes are contiguous geographic subdivisions. Most people also tend to think of a ZIP code as a contained part of some administrative boundary. To grossly

The problem you describe is the same for any org that needs sysadmins. Linux or Windows can go down as easily as FreeBSD, and a single operator would be just as much a point of failure. What should an organization that cannot afford a ful

In Qutebrowser, there is a passthrough mode (default keybinding is C-v) that does exactly what it sounds like -- it passes all keystrokes through to the current page for processing. The only keybinding in that mode is the binding to leave i

"Pattern matching", in the context of functional programming languages, most often refers to the complex combination of destructuring bind and conditional control flow based on which binding succeeded. This article describing th

Some of what you're describing is in ZFS. E.g., it has multiple compression algorithms; you can create many datasets -- each of these is either a ZFS filesystem or a volume which can have another FS deployed to it, but with compression

In stark contrast to the majority of top level comments here, I am very happy with this 'zine's existence and am always happy to come across it. I have added it to my RSS feed, but I also tend to come across it via other media as

Just a note on power consumption with regard to heat output. Electric resistive heating is 100% efficient with regard to electricity from the socket. This is the upper limit on efficiency for a computer. This ignores efficiency losses from

As for REPL driven development, it's not about typing code at a REPL. This video provides a pretty good example of working at a REPL in Clojure. Note that with the exception of one doc reference at the beginning, all code is typed dire

A canonical example of macro capabilities that methods/functions cannot recreate is a short-circuiting conditional. Clojure's only built-in conditional operator is 'if'. Despite this, we have nice short-circuiting or, an

From a Clojure perspective, here are a few things to think about and explore to help understand where the power and value of macros lie. 1. Clojure does not have all of its various conditionals as language built-ins. There is a single condi

I remember reading about a similar concept at least 15 years ago, perhaps more, but for hydrogen fuel cell cars, rather than all electric. They kept traditional wheels, though.
