from my point of view, ben_w definitely understand thermodynamics better than you. I'll point out that generally speaking radiative heat transfer from air is not particularly significant locally: it only tends to matter in the details

This would be a reason for processing such transactions to be more expensive.

I agree, recommendation algorithms are a huge part of the problem. Consciously choosing what you interact with is a very important part of media consumption IMO and most social media sites give you very little tools to do that (no, having l

I'm pretty sure it was sold as a house. That you understand that you can think of it as a box doesn't make it not a house. That's the point of the analogy.

One issue I have with them is that they pretty much had all the features I use a few years after they started, and they have, for the most part, just kept adding new ones of dubious value instead of polishing the core ones.

I do a lot of SMD rework and TBH soldering two wires together cleanly can still be a bigger pain in the backside. It's different, but not necessarily much more difficult (until you get to footprints like QFNs and BGAs where you can&#x2

This is what JBC's marketing claims: https://www.jbctools.com/top10.html Though from looking at some of the chatter about it online, this is only one specific tip they make under ideal conditions, and it seems like oft

If you're doing it a lot, then it's definitely worth making sure it works properly. If you're doing it occasionally, just make sure the area is well ventilated and you're not outright inhaling the fumes coming off the so

If you swap the order of isAdmin and sendWelcomeEmail you'll get no error from the compiler but now the names will be masking the actual behaviour.

This only encourages rewriting perfectly fine libraries badly. There's no simple metric to actually optimize here.

The same issue occurs whether you bundle all the code together or not, it's just that if you bundle it together you don't see what's happening and you can't use only part of it easily.

Interiors are trending brighter with LED lighting, but it's not exactly a 10x multiplier.

I would expect from 'astroturfing' that they were in some way paying people to recommend it. This just seems to be advice on how to recommend it for people who already want to recommend it.

Does defer in zig track the objects lifetime directly, or is it like the various other 'context' features in other languages where it only really works for lifetimes of function-local variables and leaves you on your own when thin

It's an anti-waste measure: a large number of supplied chargers are essentially thown straight in the bin because people already have a compatible charger.

Some of GDPR's language around consent for data processing (which, I will note, you only need if you don't have a legitimate and expected purpose for storing and processing it!) has implications for friction: many 'cookie pop

Pilot pay has been trending downwards for a while. It's pretty badly paid for how high-stress and high-skill it is.

Also because generally in those cases you don't really want a guided tour of the whole product, you have a problem you want solving and you would like to see how to solve that problem with the product. Which either talking to a person

It's much like how many plants have accidentally found that a great means of propagation is to produce a compound that is both a great chemical warfare agent against other plants and microbes and also tastes interesting to humans or ma

If you're savvy you can get a really good discount on a second-hand EV as well because people overestimate the wear on the batteries and assume a second-hand EV will have terrible range.

This suggests that it is useful in some niche embedded use- cases, but should probably not be enabled by default on most desktop/server kennels

Dark matter doesn't necessarily have to be a new kind of particle (though there are enough constraints it's a bit hard to explain otherwise): it could be cold dust, gas, diffuse and tiny black holes, or large amounts of cold rocky

Astrophysicists have gone all through this. Absent direct observation or at least a good explanation of what it actually is, I don't think anyone really likes dark matter. The main objection is that it feels a little too flexible: you

Whatever you've done, you should keep an eye on your logs for anything suspicious. A quieter log is easier to monitor.

Nethack is pretty punishingly difficult even with spoilers, so trying to go spoilerless is not for the faint of heart. The game does try to allow spoilerless play but I'm not sure it's tremendously well designed in that regard. So

You don't want to see how the sausage is made for medical software. The average quality I would put at below your median SaaS webapp. Security especially is not something you should expect.

the kernel will autoload modules when they are needed. The fact that the module hasn't been loaded is an indication that the bug may not have been exploited, but it does not mean that you are not vulnerable to it. You need to block the
