Yes it absolutely is. Those are candle-style bulbs that use filament LEDs, they’re normally just use a basic rectifier and a regulator chip that does basic linear regulation of the peak of the sine wave. They flicker at 100Hz due to the rec

Markdown was never created as a standard, it was created to fit one person's workflow and how they liked to format documents. It just so happened that it's pretty similar to how many others like to format documents.

That’s full time employment and pretty common with the people I asked for architect-equivalent positions.

That’s gross yearly income, after tax it’s $125k. Though for a lot of people there aren’t many other expenses after tax, just rent and food. A decent 2 bedroom apartment in Auckland or Wellington will set you back $800k-$1.2M based on a qui

Depending on skillset $150k-$230k is common. You do have to balance this against the cost of living though, we definitely don’t have Eastern Europe’s cost of living advantage.

The problem isn't that people can quickly prototype an idea that they've had without contracting an expensive professional, I think this is great. This will give ideas that would never see the light of day a chance. Plus this give

Logs, metrics, data analytics, sent to third parties as identifiers. Unless you have a system small enough that you, or a few people who can be trusted, can know every component your IDs will leak out somewhere.

This isn’t a new principle, it was part of database design courses in the early 2000s at least. However from a couple of decades of bitter experience I say external keys should never be your primary keys. They’ll always change for some reas

Where I live there’s no such thing as national ID. There’s a few documents that can be used as such depending on the purpose, and some of those change the number on every update! Never trust something outside your system to be stable.

I recently got curious about the roots of this, and it turns out it’s from Celtic languages. All the Celtic languages count in base 20, and they were widespread across continental Europe before the Romans introduced Latin to their conquests

The binary change is after we made the decision, but the lack of support for some postgresql builtins and no way to add it is still a deal-breaker. I guess the join one is from the internet memory, good to know for the next time!

I don't hate prisma - it's just a tool - but that's far from the only limiting factor. I recently looked at migrating a legacy project with basic SQL query generation to a modern ORM. Prisma came up top of course so I tried i

I suggest you re-read the article carefully. The author shows that a website can be created that will make the asus software download and execute an attacker controlled app from a server the attacker controls.

I used to work for an AWS support partner, essentially being tier 3 support. We were also involved in onboarding large customers to AWS and working with their teams to migrate their systems. We always told them that AWS account IDs are not

Yep, an SCP can restrict what S3 buckets you can access via IAM. If you're using a VPC you can deploy a VPC S3 Gateway Endpoint which has a policy document on it, this will restrict which buckets the whole VPC can access no matter what

Here a landlord can do an inspection with 48 hours notice. If you're out of town they are allowed access without you present. Also the landlord can end your tenancy with 90 days notice with no reason. Penalties would depend on the adju

Depends where you are. Where I live it's no modification. If it's hard-wired the tenant can't touch it. Though in reality many landlords don't mind as long as you know what you're doing and return it to how it was.

Many countries have no contest evictions, so you could even get evicted if the landlord doesn't like your cooking.

Where I live companies are moving to electric ferries because they’re cheaper to operate, require less maintenance, and are much quieter for the passengers. Plus they don’t emit any exhaust fumes while idling at the dock. The port also has

None of us write programs from first principles, it's all based on code we've read before. If I was going to write a BASIC interpreter I'd read up on the basics of interpreters, literature which would include sample code, and

Conservation of angular momentum doesn’t prohibit reducing angular momentum by extracting energy, in this case the angular momentum is converted to electricity.

This is chapter 11 bankruptcy, which is basically a way to say "We can't afford to pay our debts, but perhaps we can all come to an arrangement". It puts the courts in a position of oversight so any unreasonable parties can b

Absolutely fine if used for ADHD, but it’s not the same question because the effects on people without ADHD are different.

Because there's a lot you can do with basic knowledge of a subject. Very few people need to know the subatomic behaviour of electromagnetic fields that make electricity work, but all of us need to know that it travels in wires and it c

The METAR was 27028G35KT, or 28 gusting 35 from 270° magnetic However the runway landing was 33, or 330° magnetic. So this is 24-30kt crosswind component. The maximum landing crosswind on a dry runway is 32kt. The press conference reported

Smaller planes fly more often, and there's a lot more of them, so statistically they're more likely to be involved in any incident. The DC collision was an accident waiting to happen, but that airport only serves single-aisle jets

In normal operation, an aeroplane lands with enough fuel for one go-around and re-attempt at landing at the chosen airport, plus enough for diversion to their alternate, plus an additional 30 minutes of flight. If an aircraft is anticipated

Capsaicin binds to TRPV1 receptors, which are mammal-specific. Other animals have different proteins in this role and birds in particular are not sensitive to it. Also TVRP1 is only triggered by temperatures over 43°C, lower temperatures ar
