"Google leveraging a middleman role to maximize revenue extraction from both sides of a transaction it facilitates" is exactly how I would describe the google ads business.

> About 41% of American workers earning between $300,001 and $500,000—and 40% of those making over $500,000—say they’re living paycheck to paycheck, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs.

The only reasonable conclusion is "are you living paycheck to paycheck" is a useless survey question.

That Hotdog theme is stunning but I'm not sure if I mean "it's beautiful" or "it makes my head hurt."

2.4GHz was used for microwave ovens and thus the spectrum was reserved for their interference. Or rather, the spectrum was made free for low power uses because Serious Business couldn’t be done on those frequencies due to the microwave ovens.

I was planning on using (genuine) ADS1115s for a project but ended up going with an STM32g071 instead. It was cheaper, easier to source at the time (surprisingly) and much more flexible. The newer STM32g/h series ADCs have fewer hardware/software footguns than the old f103 et al.

840TB raw unformatted.

If you're willing to insure them for 18M GBP of liability perhaps they'll reconsider.

I made an 840TB storage server last month for $15,000.

Nobody wants to store 2^32 1 Byte files and if you do you can make your own file system, frankly.

Last week I threw together a 840TB system to do a data migration. $1500 used 36-bay 4U, 36 refurbished Exos X28 drives, 3x12 RAIDz2. $15000 all in.

That’s basically what RedHat is (was?) for

MAP_HUGETLB can't be used for mmaping files on disk, it can only be used with MAP_ANONYMOUS, with a memfd, or with a file on a hugetlbfs pseudo-filesystem (which is also in memory).

Enthusiast-oriented motherboards often default enable Precision Boost Overdrive, causing higher power and temperature limits for longer periods. To run the CPU at “stock” you need to go in and disable that. Their default Load Line Calibration might be aggressive as well.

OH! I saw addresses like this once before and couldn't find any information about it anywhere. I guess I saw some MPTCP flows from some app.

Im shocked, and a little incredulous, thats its feasible to heat soil to 600C.

Well, for one thing, massive methane leaks in Russian gas infrastructure means that Russian gas ii much worse for the environment than any other source of gas.

I think I agree with you broadly, but to make the counter argument:

A big part of the reason why nuclear power isn’t cost-effective nowadays is because those costs have been at least partially internalized. The US federal government has stopped producing cheap nuclear fuel by disassembling nuclear weapons. Nuclear plants need to pay for the cost of storing their spent fuel on site indefinitely. Plant operators need to pay into a federal disaster insurance pool.

Popular in the abstract, unpopular if you ask how much voters are willing to spend or sacrifice for it.

I have a hard time believing that google is serving YouTube over QUIC/HTTP3 at 10Gbit/s, or even 30Gbit/s.

Sounds like there were many strings attached actually.

> no attempts made to keep loop areas small

That is not correct, with a charitable reading of the text. Which is not to say it’ll have good EMI characteristics - you never really know until you get it tested.

> Artificially confining ourselves to two layers is exactly the kind of challenge I am wont to be engulfed by. The trick, if you want the board to work well, is to work on only one layer, and keep almost the entirety of the other layer as ground. It is almost always possible to do this, if you're willing to put in enough thought. I rather find that designing circuit boards is a lot like Tetris, and once I'm in the swing of it I can route things for hours on end. It can become a multi-day trance, with dreams of signal integrity and current loop area.

Though on this subject:

> In contrast, said this one PCB designer, a thin track has a higher inductance, so if you make your power supply lines thin, you'll get a free bit of extra filtering.

Inductance in your power supply lines is bad, but I don’t have time to get into it right now.

Finally a good use case for the chip-scale atomic clock. https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/csac-sa65

Absolutely fascinating read and design process for something which I thought didn’t seem that hard to do ;)

In this case I assume the difficulty is the initialization happens in assembly which the compiler has no visibility into.

In the real world approximately zero saving occurs by stuffing cash in the mattress, so “all saving is investment” is a correct simplification.

At the end of the day, if the people in the executive who push the button to transfer the money decide to listen to the president over the courts or congress it doesn’t matter what the law says.

Also some of their customers are airgapped so if they’ll let you touch the machine that’ll make debugging a lot easier.

In theory it's just an extension of IDE tooling. A CLI with a little query language wrapping libclang. In practice I'm sure it's a nightmare just to get 20,000 packages' build systems wrangled such that the right source files get indexed by libclang, and all the endless plumbing for downloading packages and reporting results, and on and on.
