It’s not that it doesn’t click - it’s just another stupid thing like Myers-Briggs personality types - and it’s just a shit analogy. Go ahead and categorize businesses by vitamins, pain killers and candy if it’s makes you happy. I believe re

A layer 3 switch does not just “glean” information from the packet , it can switch packets and rewrite IP header data at wire speed to place packets on different networks completely bypassing a router. I don’t know of any better term for it

Without disagreeing on the specific points about the tooling, I’m not convinced. Golang took off with a far weaker tooling story. Maybe the table stakes have changed in a decade - but I believe other factors are more important. Moreover I r

I acknowledged “something you can exchange for money” - that was not the objection. It doesn’t solve the underlying difficulty of exchanging physical goods and services that are not tokens - you, know, the actual hard part. It also doesn’t

Can it be used like a kettle - ie can it rapidly heat up a quart of water without a coffee residue taste? No, it cannot. Just because they both heat water doesn’t make them similar.

Ok exactly - in addition to keurigs /nespressos etc mentioned (which I will refuse to buy) - for years the predominant coffee making apparatus in the US has been the automatic drip coffee maker. French press, pour over, chemx are all n

What do they use the kettles for? For most non tea drinking households in the US there is no essential use for a kettle. They do sell them here, people buy them, they are usually tea drinkers.

It’s not that slow. 1. They sell plenty of kettles in the US (touch grass and go to Target sometime or something) - a large portion of those sales are probably to Asian households. It is simply that if you have a drip coffee maker and don’t

I like RS-485 - RS-232 is not particularly electrically robust - I have a hard time calling it reliable except in ideal conditions. +12V single ended, is still 12V single ended. Ethernet is a pretty good sweet spot of robustness, speed, and

Ok, but that’s not what the rule is saying (be civil, no ad hominem, etc). If that were the case I would have no issue. Maybe that would be a reasonable rule - and it is on many forums. It’s saying that criticism must “assume competence” -

A bunch of people keep saying this with no substantiation - the best we saw was a link to the latest Intel optimization manual that quite specifically refutes this claim. I even quoted it upthread. Do you have anything substantial to add to
