To add on to what others have already mentioned, the PDF has more details on bisphenols which paints a less dire picture than the press release. 1. There are no EU-wide regulations…

The black and silver and white and silver sample photos look like they may be using HASL surface finish (aka, solder). If you're handing out business cards with a HASL finish, make…

Huh, that's quite a bit more than I would expect. You already ruled out the 12V battery in the other thread, but there could be some other factors that would keep your car awake. D…

While the idle draw is relatively high on Teslas compared to other EVs (even without sentry mode enabled), 7.5% is quite high. I track my stats with Teslamate and it estimates typi…

The typical level 2 charger doesn't have to use HomePlug, but most recent EVs will have a HomePlug modem in order to speak ISO15118 to negotiate the voltage during DC fast charging…

This feels a bit like a case of a "Python from 10 years ago in my head" vs "Python from 10 years ago in reality" meme. Chained comparisons have been in Python since I started using…

That's pretty much exactly what they're saying in the video. They show their off-the-shelf dev kit which features a generic omni-directional rubber-duck antenna with quoted 1dB of …

In Rust, you can't implicitly omit fields when instantiating a struct, so it would have to be a bit more verbose, explicitly using Rust's analog to the spread syntax. It would have…

As hinted at, but not elaborated on by the first part that mentions temperature monitoring, those wires in free air expand and contract with temperature changes. The cables need to…

Taxes in the US are locality sensitive. The county sales tax rate varies by almost a full percentage between counties where I live, so depending on whether I ship something to my h…

I've observed that Comcast takes advantage of the separation of "fees" into a separate category to increase fees while keeping the service rate the same, allowing them the flexibil…

Setting aside issues that can be safety related where consumer equipment overlaps with legacy equipment, there is a tragedy of the commons effect to not attempting to regulate radi…

It's been a while since I've tolerated the git gui interface, but when I used to use it, the line-to-chunk logic would regularly fail on short 2-3 line spans. There's a stackoverfl…

I've deployed an internal version of the upstream project (ya-webadb [1]) before. It can be built as a static site, and the upstream version publishes to GitHub pages, so it's real…

In case you haven't seen the UF2 file format, it's specifically designed to be robust w.r.t ensuring that the content makes it to the target intact despite common OS quirks. https:…

I've looked into this in the past. I would suggest using the full GDPR-style takeout-all-my-data request from: https://www.netflix.com/account/getmyinfo As one would expect, Netfli…

The initial WebUSB proposal included the notion of "allowed origins", but it was eventually removed in favor of user freedom. The device can provide a landing page URL for the brow…

In my mind at least, the issue with relying on on ownership, especially in a smaller team with limited resources, is that the owner isn't just the person who authoritatively unders…

I agree that code review is not a great medium to disseminate information about the codebase, but assigning individual ownership and accountability doesn't make the need to share i…

I really like the idea of CodeTour, but unfortunately I'm the only person at the office that uses VS Code. I'm hoping that some day it'll be possible for my coworkers to follow a C…

> I have never experienced such an interview, both when I am the interviewer and the interviewee, and I've been thru the entire process at multiple FAANGs. I've been through the al…

I think I'm picking up that your model of how a typical technical interview is structured is different from what the other commenters have in mind. It sounds to me like you view th…

I agree that collaborating in real-time is important, but I disagree that interview conditions allow you to assess real-time collaboration abilities accurately. In a real life situ…

It's not as important as you would expect for a couple of reasons: 1. The size of the data is often much smaller - the savings from using an nlogn time algorithm vs a n^2 algorithm…
