I try! Oddly enough intern employment for the company is quite sophisticated (and exceptionally fair), they are also paid. Yet, there have been cases of having extraordinary interns, some of them got a direct job offers immediately as well.

Making bread is like implementing an algorithm, the machines are designed by humans, the parameters are dial in by humans, they are serviced/maintained by humans. The technicians are monitoring the results. I don't think the analo

But unlike interns they don't learn from their (or anyone else's) mistakes.

From what I have seen LLMs are the worst (by far) in terms of gained productivity. I'd rate the simple but type correct auto complete higher than what I get from the "AI" (code that makes little sense and/or doesn't

The age verification is on creating the account prior to any deposits. As for not cooperating - I'd expect to ban them altogether (ISP) unless they comply. Gambling is exactly the same.

I am sure someone else would point the origins of 'nanny-state' comes from. Yet, it has been used initially in the UK to support advertising of smoking, later for support of not using seat belts, and so on. It's a rather iron

I meant the forward voltage (also not a constant one) in series with the actual load.

The "accurate" charging level mostly happens with specific amount of charge cycles (i.e. new). Laptop batteries suffer from higher temperature (over 60C), overcharging (over 4.22 per Li-Ion for most chemistries).

"A third" is again fraction/percentage - it's still a representation stuff that depends on charge and charge cycles... and likely previous over charging and heat (Li-Ion doesn't like heat). To put it simply: the cha

The main culprit is that anyone estimating battery life in percentages. It's about voltage and current draw. The battery voltage can be read directly. About being slow, I suppose it does run windows and its infamous 'defender&#x27

While true, the amount of power would be too low, LEDs also have quite high forward voltage (~3V for blue ones) and they are current driven devices. That suggestion would require pass all the current through the LEDs. LEDs don't like t

> new one with a higher voltage rating (and same capacitance, compatible type) may last longer in cirucit as well. That's not necessarily true, higher voltage rating equals higher ESR which means more heat.

by xxs 2y ago
That would require some experience, yet the most common visual clue would be 'bulging'. There are some ways to measure ESR w/o desoldering but they won't be reliable at all times. Measuring voltages, peak to peak, is a b

Few usually means 3-5 or so, a half decent TV would be at least half a grand. That's rather high hourly pay rate.

Electrolytic capacitors are not solid state and likely #1 failure mode for most electronics. There are options for better (e.g. Al polymer) capacitors that are rather expensive - overall good capacitors are 'expensive', e.g. more

With x32 the limit would be 4GB which is on the low side of things. Having 8byte alignment (i.e. last 3 bits zero), allows for 32GB - which is better.

In Java you have to set max heap somehow - either ergonomics or just -Xmx command line option. Max heap is given (many a reason, and it sets before running the main method), so if you pick under the 32GB it'd auto use compressed pointe

All allocated objects would have the three least significant bits as 0. Any java object cannot be 'too small' as they all have object headers (more if you need a fully blown synchronized/mutex). So with compressed pointers (u

like mentioned x86/64 is quite generous with non-aligned access, yet on architectures that require aligned loads, they will be aligned (all lowest bits being zero at the start), so it will continue being aligned with each 8 byte load.

I have seen that part myself (infinite loops), also I have quite extensive experience with CHM (and HashMap). Overall such a mistake alone undermines the effort/article.
