Fair, but on the flip side, the easy thing to notice is the amount of BS that slips though. It is often much harder to quantify the amount of bullshit that the manager blocked, without more visibility of the dumb requests or whatever that t

Right, and furthermore Calories In Calories Out is a problematic system anyway. You stop by a restaurant and order a burger. Maybe the restaurant has calories posted. Those calories are probably based on the "corporate standard" f

Or my view: Allow courts to "fire"[1] high level managers and executives who either can be proven to have actual knowledge, or who should have known by nature of their position that the crimes were occurring, and who failed to t

Yeah this all is a mess, but if we restrict ourselves to considering only conformant cables then the problem is at least tractable. All Type-C to Type-C support 60 W power delivery (3A at up to 20V), some support 100 W (5A at up to 20V) but

Honestly, I don't think I have used cygwin since WSL came out (and it was pretty common for me to use linux vms even before then). The notable exception is that I indirectly use MSYS2 (which is effectively a fork of cygwin) as part of

Gas power plants on the grid are pretty inefficient. Like a modern furnace they are pretty efficent at getting the heat energy out of the gas. However the efficiency of turning the heat into electricity is low. They get something like an av

Sadly like most similar nuclear powered energy sources this is very low density, and provides very little power, despite lasting a long time. Think microwatts. Only really viable in deployments that need very little power, where no other en

I think it really more reflects that the authors of the spec see the classic desktop form factor as obsolete, with the future being things like laptops, tablets, or small form factor motherboards without PCIe expansion and everything fully

Theoretically, yes a video card could implement USB4 (by having a USB 3.2 host controller, and a USB 2.0 host controller on board, implementing the routing fabric etc. But in so doing, you have limited the bandwidth available to the GPU (al

USB4 spec was really unusual for USB, because it was basically just defining the thunderbolt tunneling protocol, routing system, and connection manager (and its complexities), including the optional PCIe encapsulation, and notably one of th

Admittedly Turboprops can be somewhat more efficent at lower altitudes than turbojet and turbofan engines. But still not terribly efficient at say sightseeing or cropdusting altitudes, and they are still a lot more expensive than avgas engi

Microsoft is trying to get away from needing a VFS. Scalar eventually accomplished that by combining some enhancements that had been added to git since they originally designed the Git VFS, and plus some new features that only live in scala

but sadly most subdivision builders like to make nice straight roads, which means that one of the more effective tools to control speed (having the road turn, or snake) won't work. That leaves having frequent intersections with either

I have heard that many of those screws that appear to have both a long slot and Philips style plus shape, are actually designed to also accept Robertson, and that in so doing using a Philips driver on those screws has a much greater chance

Technically they have 14 days after the denial by the Ohio supreme court during which they could appeal to the US Supreme Court. so until that windows has closed, the initial court won't force the issue. Then the state may have some ti

Doing magic with the internal string format was considered by the .net team and rejected. There are multiple operations that right now are O(1) no-allocation, that would become sometimes O(n) allocating if they did that sort of magic. This

Of course they still take personal checks. How else would elderly granny that does not trust "plastic" pay? Some would do it with cash, but many have paid with checks their whole lives, and will not stop until they drop dead. And

I'd be quite skeptical of that. Groceries, and fuel expenditures sure. Perhaps even clothing needs can be squeezed into such a budget. But the tools, dock time, and part costs for required maintenance items really don't seem plaus

Sure a caloric deficit will produce weight loss. Obviously. But reducing calorie intake alone does not guarantee a calorie deficit. While there is of course some level of unavoidable caloric expenditure, the average person has a fair bit of

On average a 4-6 percent overhead for the most optimized version on the NVidia and AMD gpus tested, but which also has its own limitations. Which is not wonderful, but is not that terrible either.
