Entomology is the study of insects. You mean etymology. :)

Fascinating. I don’t remember where I picked up the same habit of setting broken clocks to 10:10, but I do the same with a couple of grandfather clocks I own for sentimental reasons.

It is vastly improved, yes. I’m not ready to say it’s better.

The answer to that question has consumed books and university courses, but the LP essay linked in the sibling comment is a fine start.

I only use LilyPond for engraving, and MuseScore for input. They complement each other that way as a free software replacement for the usual commercial options.

In the US, it’s a legacy of railroad grants.

Moreover because most of Germany’s “forests” are man-made… are they not mostly “wooded lots”? The distinction maybe arises from green space preservation policies?

I didn’t pay anywhere near that price per kWh here in Maine. It was $0.16 in November 2023, and is $0.10 as of January 1.

[ETA] I just did the math to include delivery as well as generation cost if that’s what the table is meant to reflect, and I’m still below $0.20/kWh in November. Shrug. I was paying nearly $0.50 in California before moving here…

“Bistec a la X” for many types of X is part of the Spanish-speaking world, including the Philippines. The spelling with a “k” is a loan word into Tagalog.

As a musician (and incidentally a fan of this YT channel) the only non bananas way to count that is “like a musician”.

Too soon.

In the US, your local Cooperative Extension is a valuable resource for advice on this topic - and many others!

Sonic in the Bay Area offers 10Gb symmetric at that price, no cap. I upgraded from their 1Gb plan to 10Gb with no change in price.

Unfortunately, I’ve since moved to another part of the country, with much less enlightened ISP options.

This is called "chandelier bidding" in industry parlance.

Visit Belgium more.

The extra Ethernet dongle is a silly extra expense in my view - I don't want their WiFi, I use the base station as a bridge between physical interfaces the same as a cable modem.

I'm looking forward to the return of the port, too.

“Alto” or “Pare” in Spanish. The Latin “stuppa” is unrelated to either as far as I know.

I probably can’t speak to your jurisdiction, but no electrical inspector I’ve ever met would consider those loads continuous - in its precise, non-colloquial meaning - for the purpose of rating the circuit.

An appliance manufacturer may be under different UL regulations for failure modes of a device on a specific rated circuit. I don’t know anything about that.

No, continuous is very specifically defined in the NEC as 3 hours or more of runtime.

The circuit rating is 80% of nominal for continuous loads - runtimes of 3 hours or more - according to NEC in the US. Not sure what you mean by “regular appliance”; there is no such definition by code.

A kettle is fine at a full circuit load for under 3 hours.

Seems based on ALERTWildfire, based only on the name. Perhaps they’re affiliated in some way. I wouldn’t be shocked if they are the same program, but CalFire feels the need to be “more California” about it.

That program is coordinated out of the University of Nevada.

Finally. I’m tired of seeing zlib in QAT reviews alone - it’s largely irrelevant to situations where I might want to choose Intel (for QAT) over AMD.

I don’t fault Intel for choosing web frontend acceleration over storage first, but this has been a long time coming.

Sun used to assign offices to two people.

I personally don't mind sharing office space with less than about four coworkers. In a small(!), shared office there is enough social pressure to keep concentration periods quiet, or agree on shared music choices, &c. and still maintain the advantages of having what amounts to a team meeting space for collaboration in the same footprint.

Hah, yes they are all 'up to' on the device side. A switch port or injector is not compliant with a particular standard if it does not provide for the type-specific load, however.

Minor correction: 802.3bt added 51W (Type 3) or 71W (Type 4). 60W isn't a standard power level. Some switches support up to 95W per port with PoH.

Mine don’t boost quite as high as a 7713, which might be a binning difference or a power saving measure. They were (relatively) cheap, so I have no complaints.

There is a list somewhere on STH of all the variant SKUs. The second letter does indeed indicate which cloud they were sold for.

There are several variants of the 7713 like this. I have a couple of similar GCP cast-offs that have a 7B13 SKU.

Having been that very person several times, I guess my anecdata is different from yours.

Yup. I personally find those to be a waste of PCI-e lanes in the smaller form factors, but my purposes are based around I/O more than thread count. To that end, I’m on a Milan frequency-optimized SKU in my current workstation, and an ATX board with access to all of the lanes the CPU offers.

That said, with PCI-e 5.0, a little board like this has a LOT of bandwidth.
