It's a problem across all subjects. Out of necessity, academia historically selected for students who could learn from being read to just once without much context, and there was l…

It's not blackmail in the first place. There were no secrets to reveal since everything was published online, and it's legal to sue and report a possible crime. Speculating about t…

Science fiction is great like that, isn't it? The only limits are the author's imagination.

Thank you for the tutorial! I don't mean to be greedy, but would you mind sharing your top MS Word typography tip that you think people should know? Aside from this one.

In engineering practice, we often start using math without first consulting numerical analysts. It takes a long time to identify and fix the inevitable issues, which eventually bec…

I think the future of these languages is largely as a target for code generation and transformation. Their legacy tooling-unfriendly designs is what's slowing this transition.

> but the "ecosystem" just wasn't there I don't think it ever will be, either. Ada's "ecosystem" is really the tooling. I've seen plenty of Ada, but there's always been zero (or ve…

It's too late to edit my original comment. I was responding to the part about when you're breaking a lot of stuff all the time. Checking limits is for preventing breaks. Visualizin…

I can't edit the comment now, but I worded it wrong. The quote only applies to exceeding maximum values. The visualization is much more useful if you've calculated worst-case. I us…

It takes 5 minutes to show someone how to read maximum values off a datasheet, and it makes the visualization 100x more useful.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

I explained in my other comment how it's a great tool for other jobs, but the wrong tool for this job. You won't learn how not to break things by ignoring the proper tool.

Nothing. It's great. But it's the wrong tool for the job. Like teaching someone to stop a car by using the speedometer to estimate when to let go of the accelerator pedal, instead …

So teach them to check the power and the paint will help them realize when they forget to do so.

All you have to do is read the datasheet and multiply a few numbers to calculate worst-case power. Remembering to do that should be second nature, like remembering to close any par…

It's until the end of 2025, about 2.5 years from now. The comment was by GVR, who is presumably adding up all the pledged time to estimate whether there's enough in total.

The title is fine. Sponsorship doesn't need to include a money a transfer.

The workarounds require extra equipment and they're much more complicated. Better to wait for a more capable machine.

Like I said, they're behind. Don't hold your breath for them to catch up.
