For what it's worth, I hate leetcode with a burning passion, have no real interest in math, and yet I personally find Advent of Code quite fun and enjoyable.

Man, I understand that it can be annoying to get spammy messages, but a few of these are really kind of lame on the blogger's part. The sales mail, advertisement requests, and "want to sell your website" offers, sure, whateve

The Jurassic Park novel had some of the best depictions of technical failures like that, IMO. The scene where they realize they've been running on backup power and everything goes down is another good one. I won't call them realis

That map, while interesting, seems entirely subjective - the whole appearance of the map can be determined by the thickness that you set the street view lines to, no?

That's true, I guess on some routes their prices aren't too bad. I vaguely recall it being more. But yeah, it is pretty ridiculous. Like you said, pay the same price as the plane ticket, if not more, for the privilege of getting t

It is also worth considering that Spirit will charge you an arm and a leg to bring any kind of luggage, while buses and trains are generally pretty lenient with their baggage allowances. Of course, as I found out recently, sometimes your ba

This assumes there will be no delays. In my experience, that probably won't be the case.

It's possible, but IME, people really do not exaggerate when they say it's bad. It's bad . I don't consider myself a super pampered traveler - I fly budget airlines, I take overnight layovers, I've slept in Amtra

I think that was for "mundane" CRT tubes for old TVs and stuff. X-ray tubes for machines like baggage scanners can reach 150 kV or so, and it's nothing particularly special. Google seems to show papers for 400 kV tubes. 350 k

The RP2040 and (upcoming?) RP2350 are also really nice. But yeah, the Raspberry Pis themselves are in a bit of a weird spot at the moment.

Agreed on the whole inferiority complex thing. Though in addition, honestly, this is why I've always liked computing and electronics - exactly as you said, everything is intelligible in principle, everything is intentionally designed a

I'm a bit confused, is the implication that they're shilling for ngscopeclient or something? It's not a paid product (neither is sigrok). They're not wrong either, Pulseview (sigrok) is great doesn't feel very desig

I know you didn't mean it literally, but it's still worth saying: They did not "go instantly in a moment". A few, sure. I'd assume most of them probably still burned to death, or were buried under rubble, or bled ou

Probably sheer magnitude, no? The Google results for "how much power data centers use" show numbers between 1% and 3% (it's similar numbers whether I specify global or just the US). Let's assume that's at least some

That's fair! That's a good point, and I don't mean to invalidate those situations. A part of me still feels like that's somewhat separate from a "typical" scenario where you want to harden a container that&#x27

Yeah, I feel like nobody talks about the price of Amtrak enough. For some reason the conversation is almost always on its speed or that we don't have enough lines. Those things are true, but like, jeez, the price. I for one don't

You're totally right, but the part that annoys me is that articles like this one (and this sounds overly hostile, I don't intend that, but I'm not sure how else to phrase it) kind of pollute the topic of container security. I

Exactly! This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I feel like I'm going crazy when I read articles like this one (that is, any of the similar "how to escape containers" blog posts). With the exception of a rare few that actually des
