16 gauge is rated for 17A; 24 gauge is rated for 3A. Given that, as you say, the rated current for the doorbell is 1A, I don't understand why 16 gauge is necessary; if you're conce…

There are only three detectors available (two LIGOs and VIRGO), and the strongest signal unfortunately also had an overlapping glitch, so there are still some data reduction issues…

Can you just replace notepad.exe with a link to notepad++?

Yes, it'll work but device trees are still a little less dynamic than modules, which can be loaded and unloaded, and reconfigured at will. Device Trees still apparently have issues…

They were trying to avoid oligarchy, where few powerful families would monopolize the power. It worked remarkaby well, actually: Venetian Republic lasted 1000 years, served as a bu…

The second example didn't work for jq-1.6 ---I had to write it as jq -n --arg key foo --arg val bar '{($key): $val}'

Of course Linus wrote git, so it's not like he's against modern workflow. There are kernel forks of course, I think that not using web front end is partly due to reluctance to beco…

We get 174400 TW from the Sun (1367W/m2 over the Earth cross-section, which pretty much balances out with the outgoing blackbody radiation at something like 5 deg C IIRC. This woul…

Sorry--forgot to specify the values for the polynomial: 77617 and 33096. In Maxima, the effects of precision can be simulated thus: for fpprec:10 step 5 thru 50 do print (rp(77617.…

A large portion of engineering calculations overall requires something like three significant digits of precision; the problem is that these digits need to be accurate, i.e. we nee…
