Yeah, I found the Conventions section baffling. It defines both "giga" and "gibi" as 2^30! Why define both if they have the same value? Then it confuses the issue further by using "gibi" when the underlying uni

I think you are a little optimistic that the full EDA flow would be "not... particularly difficult to write." On the implementation side alone, you'd need to write a SystemVerilog compiler, logic synthesis, timing analysis, t

Cable cars are a poor and misleading analogy for interoperability -- that is truly a difficult, one of a kind system, with significant mechanical and switching limitations that don't apply to streetcar systems. For streetcar systems, b

You're asking for studies that show the effects of microplastics in humans. How do you think that gets established? Not all at once. This isn't scaremongering, it is how science happens, part of the pathway to establishing what th

I was just looking up the LA to SF high speed rail project because the headline sounded so wrong. It's so sad that the official website has a giant photo of their progress: a short section of clean, straight overpass over a country roa

I love this one and use it all the time, especially using the special case when your command can take multiple filename arguments and they come last. xargs will glom as many as it can into a single command before overflowing the max command

I'm guessing some share of them are just because they reacted the way I did -- "This name is genius, where can I give it an upvote?" Funniest and most devastating takedown I've seen in a while.

Yes, the things it's connected to can saturate a 1 Gbps link. But few people feel any pain points that would lead them to want to upgrade. I've only ever saturated mine with speed test sites.

If you were ever responsible for keeping a thicknet or thinnet Ethernet network running, you would gladly accept that tradeoff. If you've experienced a floor of a building or a whole department go offline because someone removed a term

But network-layer bridges were not a tiny step, they were a fundamentally new type of device with many enabling technologies. The point of the article is that it was revolutionary, not incremental.

They did not study memory in isolation. All the details are available at the link to the journal article. It doesn't seen fair to accuse them of p-hacking without first understanding what was studied.

It was used during the 80s. Like I said, I'm not telling anyone what to do. Everyone can feel free to call anything whatever they want, to use or reuse symbols as they see fit. The signifier is not the signified. Just wanted people to

Nobody's sold new VAX systems since the 90s. VMS was ported first to the DEC Alpha architecture, then to Itanium, so even for VMS, VAX is two architectures ago. And Itanium itself is at the end of the road now, but I think still suppor

You are confusing two different issues. The article you reference is from December 2022. The MAX 8 had already returned to service two years prior, with the required fixes to the MCAS system, in 2020. This law had to do with a deadline for

Nobody owns it, obviously. It can be helpful however to be aware of the associations your terminology already has. From a practical perspective, it interferes with getting your point across to overload a symbol that already has strong assoc
