The problem was that they had so little room for error. But I guess landing a rocket vertically on a heaving ship is also tricky, so maybe the problem is surmountable.

Do you happen to remember any specific textbook? I'd be interested to see an example, assuming that they're still available in some format.

It's a general rule of thumb, so it wouldn't apply to proper nouns, but I did edit to specify verbs rather than all words in general. I do appreciate the irony that the example I c…

Unless it's a verb that ends with -ano. In that case, stress the preceding consonant. It's kind of like the difference between urAnus and Uranus. There are other exceptions, but th…

There's also a floating point expression generator that tries to make your calculations more accurate, but it doesn't seem to give an analysis like this. These two tools would seem…

Tilting your head to look at opposite edges of the screen can irritate the neck.

It's a simple and general method that works in many domains, which is an usual combination. The other ways of solving the example of arbitrary heat sources and sinks on a plate ran…

I've read the USB PD spec. What's wrong with it? It seems ok to me compared to other specs. And yeah it's long, but different sections are for different people with different roles…

True. I take back what I wrote for being too reductive. Well said.

Edit: Retracting my whole comment for being wrong.

That's not at all what I'm saying. Aside from web development, most professional tools are only used by professionals because they cost money. It wouldn't make sense to judge somet…

I think they're saying that the switch was justified because the workforce is no longer familiar with Ada.

Ada is mostly used by professionals, not enthusiasts. It has a captive audience of governments and companies working on safety-critical systems where they have strict toolchain req…

I binge-read the RAQs a few months ago. So much great information. Thank you! I also appreciated the consistent URL scheme because it let me easily scrape all the PDFs to read them…

They have a cool PDF cheat-sheet related to this which doesn't seem to be linked from the page. https://www.analog.com/media/en/selection-guides/Equation_Pu...

Assuming that the backyard is for playing and the front is ornamental, you can keep the backyard as grass and transition the front to plants.

Because it's still a town? It just happens to also have a college in it. The transient population results in more stuff (industry, services, transportation, ...) than you'd get oth…

It depends on whether you're talking about electron flow or conventional current, because they're opposite each other. The original mnemonic is incomplete because it doesn't specif…

It could be probing the response to a drone intrusion for the purpose of using drones as weapons in the future.

Anecdotally, I've noticed that management tends to consider interruptions more acceptable for anything related to web development. It's usually not as bad for the web dev team to s…

Is it really undetectable? A smarter USB PD controller and maybe some extra sensors should be able to mostly avoid that problem, no?

There's a French graphing calculator company called NumWorks. Maybe TI prioritized the French market in response to growing competition. https://www.numworks.com/simulator/

That's just how consumer protection and liability law works pretty much everywhere in the world. I don't make the rules. But they do exist for a good reason.
