Torpor is the wrong word. Full stop. The FDA isn't merely a lazy, indifferent regulatory body suffering some sleepy malaise. The FDA is actively beholden to "special" interests and the decisions made by the FDA are a functi

Nice TI-30X solar calculator in the detached garage. End up using it pretty much every time I'm out there. It's cheap and tough, with a hard shell cover to keep the 50 different kinds of liquids off the keys. TI-82 at my desk, w

These irons are expected to control large currents to maintain an operator specified temperature. These aren't simple elements that just "get hot" off mains power.

An anecdote... Bought a Sony receiver around June 2021. The thing has barely had time to get dusty and its never been over ~20W. It's already dead, or dying at least. The power supply caps are bad and it power cycles itself when it

Yes. I know. K8s has delivered the moral equivalent of what we've had built-in to our OS kernels[1] since before some of the people reading this were born, and they've only had to add two layers of complexity, fragility and insc

Accessing local file systems from a container? What heresy is this? Containers must all be stateless webscale single-"process" microservices with no need of local file systems and other obsolescent concepts. Next thing you know

Can't help myself: going to arm chair quarterback this. Since sine waves work better at low speed consider a DAC driving small power amps. A dual output 8 bit DAC could easily generate the frequencies involved and allow tailoring the
