Amazing article, thanks! However, I think when you said "...heat was transmitted by convection through the metal plate inside each page...", you probably meant conduction, right?
Convective heat transfer in metal would be a worrying event on the Space Shuttle!
Absolutely. If you look at an extensively used standard like DO-178C for avionics, it really says very little about how to program. Instead, the emphasis is on making sure that the software has implemented system level requirements correctly.
Framing "less code written" as a trade-off is a red flag to me. Anyone who judges productivity by lines of code written should inquire with me about a limited time, fantastic deal on a bridge...
For the past 10 years, I've worn a slide rule every day. It's a small circular one modeled after the E6B aviation slide rule, with markers for common aviation conversions.
It's also because the cars are getting so much taller, especially in the US. Driving a smaller car is terrifying when a lifted Dodge fitted with anti-aircraft spotlights blinds you while going the opposite direction.
The biggest pains of film scanning are in the post process color balance and dust removal. Unless this can improve those parts of the workflow, it's only going to be a minor improvement. I like the continuous reel movement of this scanner vs a flatbed though, that can improve the physical workflow quite a bit.
Not really on topic, but I think it's funny that most MMA style gyms always offer Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai as two classes, right after each other. Of the two, Jiu Jitsu seems to generally be the more popular one.
In house delivery has existed for a lot of business for a long time. For instance, nearly every pizza store would do delivery themselves. Many still do. However those services didn't introduce a middleman between you, the store, and the driver who extracted money from all 3.
Matlab deliberately notes that its matrices are laid out like this since most matrix operations occur on columns, a whole column can be loaded on a cache line.
It makes fantastic sense in Texas too because air conditioning is such a high portion of demand. Clean energy production reaches its peak at midday when everyone has their AC going flat out.
When someone vehemently supports a strongman government, endorses a racist view of population dynamics, the banning of books, the repression of ethnic and gender minorities, and unleashing a jackbooted gang of thugs who perform extrajudicial violence and abductions, what else should they be called? That description is applicable to both a 1930s bona-fide Nazi and a modern day Trump supporter.
Network wide ad blockers like PiHole are also quite useful but they can cause some confusion from the client side because things just break for no apparent reason.
UEFI is a fairly insane spec, but at least it's a fairly complete spec. Following it is preferable to custom nonsense. (Spoken as someone writing a custom non-UEFI bootloader right now)
