It's not designed for failure at point X, it's designed for proper operation until at least point X. You always add some safety margins such that the failure rate in the designed life is low enough. After that most of the devices

I don't have actual numbers but it's pretty uniform.

Yes. Also, the voltage won't be very high. The diodes have to be efficient in the millivolt regime.

I think you are on to something. For non-concentrated solar, what a low-cost application would use, the limit is given as 43%. The numbers given trigger my bull-detector hard and I've had some insight into the difficulties that you fac

You can use btrfs on RAID5/6 without problems if you don't use the RAID features that btrfs provides.

I find ChessNetwork much more clean and accessible for beginners. https://www.youtube.com/user/ChessNetwork There's also a series beginner to master covering the basic topics of chess. https://www.youtu

The tests should be run at the specified TDP to be comparable. Exceeding the TDP in the tests is a form of overclocking.

So, they were basically relying on metadata to inspect an organization. If anything, this shows the power of metadata.

We have to share our resources with an increasingly larger proportion of a growing humanity and nobody can do anything about it. We just don't want to hear or see the facts until it's already a fact of the past.

Atheism also seems to wrongly be a catch-all for things like Agnosticism which is nothing like Atheism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism "Agnosticism is the view that the existence of God, of the divine o

The power measurements were correct. What was wrong is that the mainboard supplied a higher voltage to the CPU, something that you only do if your want to overclock and your system is not stable at the original voltage. So all the tests are

It should be tested with an appropriate cooler. One that does remove 95W in the long term when the case reaches the maximum design temperature as this is what TDP intuitively means.

It probably is the right tool if you have an enterprise problem that needs an enterprise solution.

Many applications run maybe 10 times on real data and then their purpose is fulfilled. You don't need to design a microservice architecture with redundant servers when a simple shell script could do the job better. You need to foresee

It failed by teaching that every data structure should be put into classes using many levels of inheritance, interfaces, encapsulation, accessors and the whole shebang when the thing really is just a plain old integer. OOP is really useful

My experience with Python is largely the same. I often start with local variables in a script, then put some parts into functions, then start putting some shared/persistent data into dicts. If after some time a pattern emerges where I

OOP is just a mental model. Deep down everything is made of bits. The church of OOP has failed but if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck it probably is useful to make a duck class. We're now down to fi

If we can't detect it or disprove it, it doesn't even belong to science. It belongs to the same realm as witches and demons - until some smart physicist devises a way to actually detect it.

I suspect that they use metrics for making decisions and the total number of users is growing. Those who understand and care for privacy are only a small portion of the user base and don't play a role in metrics. And if they play a rol
