Strong disagree. Leaded solder is still a ton easier to rework thanks to its lower eutectic melting point.

Most equipment connects the shield of all ethernet ports to chassis ground, so you're back to zero isolation if you use shielded cables.

Because most people do not get to choose what software they use for working?

This doesn't allow reusing initialization work via CoW mappings (like GP was asking about).

And it's so often wrong that you better be doing sanity checks if you use it for anything.

That only works if failures are uncorrelated. Why are you ignoring basic principles of engineering?

Please don't use double-quotes when you're not directly quoting someone.

btw, your last paragraph makes you sound like an ass.

I'm guessing Devuan still has /var/lib/dbus/machine-id.

NBR = nitrile butadiene rubber, a synthetic rubber. Not really a raw material, as it's synthesized.

For things that need much more precusion than my lunch, ±1 second probably still isn't good enough, so they need another layer of correction anyway. Given that exists, might as well push leap seconds into that layer too.

Why use zvols? Aren't they essentially just single-file ZFS datasets (allowing e.g. independent snapshotting)?

OpenSCAD has almost zero crossover with B-rep modelling ('true' CAD, what this apparently is), though.

No, that is actually very rare, not typical. Do you have any examples of password managers that do that?

> Wrapping around is what happens when you decrement the minimum value of any integer type, including signed types. No, signed wraparound is undefined behavior in C, whereas unsigneds are defined to wraparound. If you use -ftrapv, signed

> That's true for signed numbers too though? `int_min - 2 > int_min` No, that's undefined behavior in C, and if you care about correctness, you run at least your testsuite in CI with -ftrapv so it turns into an abort().

MEMS oscillators do use a vacuum, and that's why they're susceptible to helium. A helium atom is tiny compared to an oxygen or nitrogen atom, and can leak through many otherwise-perfect seals. So, a (badly-designed) MEMS oscillato

You don't have to 'build' anything. Just spin up a GitLab docker container. Bonus: If you put it behind a VPN, you never have to worry about updating it.

This is a very SWE-centric perspective. The very names of software/hardwsre would imply the exact opposite.

I'm an actual boss, and wasting a week is cause for a 30-minute post-mortem, not immediate termination.

I don't think this is true. Modulo the sign bit, the "next float" operator is equivalent to the next bitstring or the integer++.

I've never heard anybody (mis)attribute that to Apple.
