For someone that try to learn electronics this comments is really hard to understand. What's "common failure mode", "MLCC", "DMM"? What does "old devices usually have dried out capacitor" means?

Regarding preservation, even with a user-friendly format, platforms that allow downloading a zip archive or mkv in the desired quality provide no guarantee that the content will exist in 10 years. HDDs fail, they get lost, etc. The reason w

This is mostly due to historical reasons and the way Western music has been written. The hierarchy in a symphonic orchestra is highly structured. Each section (a group of musicians playing the same instrument and part) has a leader, who usu

The rule of thumb for an orchestra is n double bass, n+2 cellos, n+4 violas, n+6 2nd violins, n+8 1st violins. Usually n ranges from 4 to 8.

Any third party GraphQL library worth its salt should implement some kind of ACL. It seems to be the case with the most popular ones [1] [2]. One simple idea is to implement authorization in the data models. GraphQL delegate ~get~ and ~list

These are double pendulums, it's a famous chaotic system. Even with a video frame it would be impossible to predict more than a few seconds of the system.

I've worked with both for years and one thing that always bother me is implicit over explicit in RoR. It can seems easy to write code and it's faster because of that, but reading code is harder, there is too much magic. Given that

In french we use "fabuler"[1] that can be translated to "make sth up". I don't know if it's the same in other Roman language. [1] https://www.dictionnaire-academie.fr/article/A9F0016

One cool feature would be to encrypt local SQL database with the user's key before syncing. The provider of the PostgreSQL database would have zero-access encryption while still having full SQL capabilities on the client.

That's because this example is an anti-pattern, the swap should be local [1], the button changes itself (to an orange arrow, to disable itself, etc) and the notification tag (#notification-bar) should be responsible of its own behavior

No because the requests are encrypted (with a public-key crypto method for example).

Sounds like steganography, it should be possible to encrypt and merge two files, with one key for each file.

This is bad in multiple ways, as other have said every a 5min check is ludicrous, but the article focuses on losses for the developer in a complete disregard for their users. Some people still have a limited data plan or pay according to us

I've used them for quite a while but came back to the old function views. The Generic Views are a mess to understand, the hierarchy tree gets so complicated. See for example : https://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django&#x2

You could probably run a model but not train a new one, especially one bigger than GPT-4. You'd need ten of thousand of A100 as a rough estimate.

Minecraft or any sufficiently complex simulated environment. But I think people will put AI models in physical robot really soon too if it's not already happening.
