Weird connectors are hard to hack on. You bring up USB but I couldn't think of a worse example. USB got it wrong, it supports so many different things on a single connector that in some situations it can be impossible to determine what

You should have a plan for network instability or outages that causes a safety stop for anything affected by that fault domain. If uptime is important then you might have two separate networks side-by-side. You can also split a large fault

If you're just experimenting just do everyone a favor and use RJ45 or screw terminals. These special connectors are really expensive and require special crimp tools.

It does! The collision detect signal is repurposed somewhat for PLCA but is in fact working and backwards compatible with 10BASE-T MACs if you ignore the additional functionality. The stations with PLCA will try to avoid collisions with eac

That's the normal way to do it and it's part of the reason why many devices label the supply and return fittings.

A non-deletion strategy should consider including an encryption and key management strategy to enable retroactive secure deletion without impacting availability, reliability, and performance. This seems to be missing from a lot of systems t

This could have been avoided if the charging port had a manual disconnect switch next to it, rated to handle the arcing at full power. Auxiliary contacts can then release it and tell the computer that you manually killed the port. I dislik

Are all machine learning models bad? Surely there could be some machine learning models that are so simplistic in nature that they could be considered "harmless." It seems like the purpose and scope of the model is not considered

It's a different strain though. The strains differ so much that it's difficult to assume that they function the same way.

For the LGPL portion, it was linked statically, so they need to at minimum release enough of the code so that the LGPL portion can be relinked. This would not be an issue if it was linked dynamically. If they modified the LGPL portion they

Extracting money and creating walled gardens, while removing user choice, is also a focus of this server side cycle.

Interestingly, control valves employed in this way tend to wear out very quickly or else they are slow and expensive so that they can be made more durable. Anybody working on this needs to hit that "good, fast and cheap" triple po

This is just how ungrounded devices sometimes act when you are able to come into contact with the neutral via some current path. I have LED light bulbs that are like this, you feel a vibration when touching the exposed metal heatsink of the

It's due to non-isolated converters where an EMI filter is a part of the line side using X/Y capacitors to cross over. The device isn't solidly grounded but it's also not totally floating either. There's some leakag

It's especially bad when "something went wrong" style error messages appear and it becomes your responsibility to waste time with support staff who aren't given the ability to actually resolve or even see the error. In m

This is fascinating, I hope someone knows the answer. Is it possible that they magnetized the teeth of the rotor as a Halbach array?

It's different for dyed sealant, but there is a time while the work is being done where old sections are stripped back and the new material is drying. Lots of false positives from HVAC work etc. though.

Sometimes I don't mind waiting for the query to finish. Makes for a good coffee break.

Yes although it is true what the grandparent comment said about sealing - that keeping things dry, using coatings or topper materials, dewatering, etc. will all help extend the longevity and reduce maintenance requirements a bit.

The rusting and getting wet is cyclical in nature and part of what accelerates that is the formation of cracks in the first place. Part of the maintenance of concrete is to fill any cracks that you can find to prevent it from getting worse.

It's possible that some PLLs might fail to lock in within a normal amount of time to acquire the full preamble. In which case varying the length of the preamble slightly shouldn't negatively affect receivers that are well designed

Hand delivering servers and other gear is always a part of a good story. Makes me wish for a decent cart and maybe some brakes.
