the comparison to installed capacity is interesting, but what really matters is a comparison to the projected supply from each of the sources, right? Was wind expected to be generating at 100% of installed capacity on those days, or was 15-

California’s grid management definitely has issues. I’m not very familiar with this grid management stuff, but I’ve read all CAISO’s reports on what happened in august 2020 that led to the rolling blackouts, and there’s some stuff in there

If one process is using only 4 bytes out of every 64 byte cache line fill, the rest of the line is wasted regardless of whether there are hundreds of other processes loading different lines into the various levels of cache. It’s not using m

how is it dishonest? the numbers are basically arbitrary anyway (the only metric even close to these figures is fin width, which is not really a metric of primary interest), and they've chosen to realign to numbers that more closely ma

I don’t care about Branson, but SpaceShipTwo and its pilots are pretty neat. As far as I know, SpaceShipOne and Two are the only vehicles that leave and reenter the atmosphere under manual control of the pilot since the X-15. the space shut

Basically yes, that’s what they signed up for in project mercury. The initial plan had nothing for the human to pilot. Mercury only got manual controls and a window because the astronauts fought for them.

Sounds like you are upset with the state Government of New Mexico and the voters in whatever counties for funding Spaceport America. Those entities are the ones responsible for how they choose to spend money, not Branson. Branson is doing t

There's sort of a lot of literature that suggests that the USPTO does have a number of incentives to grant invalid patents. Even if they are all mistaken, this suggests to me that the issue is not as clear-cut as you say. https:/

At first glibc's use of TSX/RTM for mutexes was behind a compile-time opt-in, and Intel was hyping up how great hardware transactional memory was, so most distros flipped the switch to enable it. But glibc's use of TSX/R

yes, glibc tried to use TSX in pthreads, and it was a disaster and all distros patched glibc to not use it. eventually upstream glibc turned it off by default too.
