In my experience the issue is one of torque, not of power. Most cheaper electric bicycles (including most Decathlon models) have a hub-mounted motor which cannot deliver power effectively at low speeds -> it stops assisting when you most

While that is true, "Drivers consistently ignoring rules" is also a systems issue, which can be mitigated through e.g. better road design (narrower roads reduce speeding, for example).

Unless the design of the object is copyrightable (which it often is!) in which case the photo is a derivative work.

- Using the commit SHA of a released action version is the safest for stability and security. This is not true for stability in practice: the action often depends on a specific Node version (which may not be supported by the runner at some

I find the repeated deprecations on GitHub Actions frustrating to work with. One of the key goals of a build system is to be able to come back to a project after several years and just having the build work out of the box . Yet with GHA I

In the end, this is the age old "I built by thing on top of a 3rd party platform, it doesn't quite match my use case (anymore) and now I'm stuck". Would GitLab have been better? Maybe. But chances are that there is anoth

I would argue that the second rule is even optional here. There is enough literature (McConnell's Software Estimation, Boehm's Software Engineering Economics) that suggests that, given a well-scoped problem and other projects to b

The subsidy could be independent from the carbon emissions (e.g. by subsidies on the produced goods) while the carbon tax isn't, effectively creating an incentive to produce in a less carbon intensive manner.

The alternative would be "two applications talking to the same microservice" where you run into the same issues with backwards compatibility, except the API is now "application to microservice" instead of "applicati

I have the same (and ran into this trying to wrap my head around why Maven didn't work... I don't want a tutorial explaining how to get started, I need to understand the fundamentals to understand what's happening!). I think,

Judging by the graph on the linked page, the UK's rail network is mostly safer due to a lower number of workplace accidents. A cynic might suggest that that's correlated with a lack of maintenance :-).However I do also believe t

It's the power output that is relevant for the failure mode described in the article, not the yearly production. And in terms of power output, 20GW is an incredibly common number for peak solar production (see e.g. https://e

by bramblerose 2y ago
The failure mode is much simpler: you don't need to physically break anything, you just need to drop 10GW of production from the grid (send a "turn off" command to all solar inverters) leading to a cascade of failures. Gettin

You can do this with `np.newaxis` - in the NumPy course I wrote as TA we required students to always be explicit about the axes (also in e.g. sums). It would be nice if you could disable the implicit broadcasting, but as you mention that wo

I appreciate your response. I feel the same as the other commenter: the asymmetry between "a steep fine" and "losing your home" is enormous. But "what happens if the fine is enormous" (say, the landlord also st

They are not entitled to compensation over their previous work, but you/me/AWS are also not entitled to their _future_ work.

That only works for copyleft licenses. Even with Antirez' original work fully available under BSD, there is nothing stopping Redis Labs from adding new code under a proprietary license.

The MIT license just gives you permission to use the work as published. Normally that work would be in source form, but there is nothing in the MIT license requiring that. In this case, it seems that the authors chose to release the binari

You can, in fact, with the right equipment, talk to NFC chips from a distance. Easier with 125kHz than with 13.56MHz but still possible. See, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP9f_TiKHIY Security of NFC applications is

I suspect this may have to do with who owns what: the trailer is not always owned by the same entity as the truck which means that some sort of agreement needs to be made. This could be part of the transport fee, but would need to solve que
