It probably should have been more than 3 hours given that you likely mean "voltage" not "amps". Before everyone jumps on me, "it is the amps that kill you, not voltage", I understand electricity quite well and

It is also very nice for safety related tasks because it makes a code audit much simpler.

Sometimes it is done as part of a talk and hence it is natural to be a video. But that being said, I normally skip over videos when looking for information on a technical topic. I find, for me at least, my learning to time ratio is far bett

It is called a heat loss calculation. HVAC guys do them all the time (or at least they should). There are online calculators.

I had to write some EFI/GPT code earlier this year and was dumbfounded to learn this. This is right up there with the mork file format.

From what I read, she didn't anticipate the variants and didn't anticipate the war in Ukraine. The latter I understand, the former less so. I am curious what was she anticipating? Every goes great? Sometimes I wonder if a system e

Agreed. They are generally very solid hardware compared to semi-generic Chinese systems. They even have an embedded CEC control which is not found in any other x86 sytems AFAIK. Open source firmware that can do EFI or BIOS payloads. Look up

I bought a Samsung Frame TV for my parents for a Christmas present. Dear lord what a mistake. So much software shit on that TV. After two hours of playing with it and Googling it, I still can't figure out how TO TURN IT OFF. WTF. Their

I don't understand this video. If it was 1996, then is wasn't about the Iraqi invasion because it hadn't occurred yet. The 1993 action was not an invasion of Iraq. The caption says something about Iran, but I can't imagi

I don't take testing advice from anyone who uses generic terms like "test coverage". Test coverage is a complex subject, but without a basic understanding, tests can create a false sense of security. Saying something like &qu

I think you just proved my point better than I could have ever done: Those most vocal about energy are generally the least informed. Let me guess, you have no formal engineering training, do you? EDIT: to make this comment more constructive

Heat exchangers running in ocean water are very difficult because they build up algae and other debris that can significantly reduce their efficiency. None of this is rocket science, it is all well known to anyone who actually wants to do s

You just don't "use" heat to make electricity. You need some sort of heat engine running a cycle. All those require temperature differential. This is basic thermodynamics and isn't going to change with new technology. Th

That is the point of the scientific method. You don't believe it because you read it once, you believe it when multiple people construct repeatable experiments that yield similar results. It is the essence of science.

Interview them. That is what we did and it worked great. Where are you located? I used ours twice and both times was happy. You can incentivise them to push for higher prices with the terms you offer them. The ones I worked with were highly

Don't let the world see you dirty laundry. Every company has these problem, customers should never see it.

> Blacks value isn't autoformatter, it's preemptive discussion ender. Exactly. I have learned that having it formatted just like I want it is FAR FAR FAR less important than having the entire ecosystem share a single format.

I am just about to embark on resolving differences in our code base due to two different clang format files being used by different teams that have now merged. Can't wait to have all those conversations and discussion over which option

I remember when usenet was awesome. I remember asking Raymond Chen questions about programming Windows and he would engage in conversation. I remember reading posts from C++ guys like Pete Becker and others who were incredibly knowledgable.

Not a chance, while you can stretch out horizontally to make a 7nm look like a 180nm (conceptually, still has problems in reality), you can't do that vertically. For example, the gate oxide at 7nm works differently than at 180nm.

People can't consume more than they produce, unless they are riding on the coat tails other workers. Right now, America is used to riding on the coat tails of Asian labour and that is eventually going to come to an end.

No physics problem? I consider a fully equipment fireman carrying a person trying to squeeze between the house and the shed to be a physics problem. And yes, those situations are considered when codes are written.

You can get structural rated screws in pretty much any Home Depot or Lowes in the US and they don't cost that much relative to all the other expenses building that shed. Telling people to not use structural screws is wrong, they are fa

The irony is you are telling people to not write about things they aren't qualified to write about, but that is exactly what you are doing. There are structural screws that are excellent options for framing. GRK and Simpson make extrem

Maybe, but there a lot more web programmers than Qt programmers, so chances are you going to be dealing with someone who knows the web and not Qt.

Maybe driving becomes tiered where a person's ability to access overrides are based on tests and their driving record. Not saying it is a good idea, but with computer controlled driving systems, it becomes plausible. For example, if yo

We had a VM in a datacenter that hosted everything and was accessed over a VPN. Again, I don't know the specifics of the NPM setup, but for everything else it was HTTP serving static files right off disk. It was a manual process to add
