As far as I understand, a DCDC converter is less efficient and more expensive than an equivalent ACAC converter. I don’t know about switching power supplies, and whether that’s true or extendable to the transformer case, sorry.
Long distance point to point power transmission (like internationally) is often DC because transmission losses become more important.
If two waves of the same frequency align with each others’ valleys, they align with each others’ peaks. Do you mean they should be aligned peak to valley? I don’t know how you’re deciding which direction of the axes is positive and which is negative though.
I have no idea whether this was part of the repressive campaign to punish Trump’s opponents, or sabotage of the same.
Also if we switched to DC, you’d need costly dcdc transformers to step up the voltage for transmission and back down again for domestic usage
Looks like the chipset/graphics driver is crashing. That can be because of the driver or the hardware.
It will be hard to diagnose, but you can search for the most detailed of those log lines together with your laptop model and see if that yields anything. There problem is that it’s never possible to know whether you have a software issue or a hardware issue that is exposed by particular software.
You can try installing a completely different os (i.e windows) to see if the same problem occurs - if it does you can be fairly sure it’s hardware.
For generating unique IDs, you can combine a random part with some other data, like the current time, so if it’s only those that are generated within the same millisecond that you even need to worry about.
Maybe it should
No u.
Who made the laws mate?
The answer to that is not relevant to the question of whether laws are “black and white”.
Do you notice how in dictatorships they actually just ignore the laws instead?
They ignore some laws, some of the time.
The principle of the Rule of Law is that all people are subject to the same law, and that law is available so that everyone can know what it is.
Quick history lesson: in Tudor and Stuart England, the King could prosecute anyone he liked for anything he liked in the so-called Star Chamber; it did not have to hand down judgements based on any written law and instead it could decide any case before it based on its own ideas of morality. Successive Kings used this to punish those opposed to them and their policies. The Star Chamber was abolished during the English Civil War by parliament (opposed to the King) because of its excesses, and along with its abolition came a growing understanding that became the principle of the rule of law.
When you allow courts to rule otherwise than in accordance with the law, you allow them to pick whom they punish and whom they do not punish. This is the case with all exceptions to Rule of Law - such as presidential pardons. They were designed to permit mercy, but Trump used them to pardon his supporters.
When you ask to suspend Rule of Law and permit leniency - permit deviation from the law - you’re asking to allow whomever has influence over the use of that deviance to exert their own personal will on the judicial process. The powerful having influence over justice is a hallmark of authoritarianism, which is what you’re asking for.
What you want is for people who commit crimes that you think have mitigating circumstances to be let off. Making you the authority in your authoritarian fantasy.
An almost-complete lockup on Linux is basically always due to running out of memory and having to hit swap. A system can run at 100% CPU and still be usable, but when it hits 100% memory, it will not be usable. For a desktop system, that means keystrokes, if they are registered at all, won’t be registered until minutes have passed. For a server, it will mean all requests time out.
Unfortunately, Linux’s approach to memory management firstly allows this to happen and secondly fails to solve it once it does happen. What is supposed to happen is that the “OOM killer” wakes up and kills off a process to free up memory. That may theoretically happen if you left the machine on for a year, but what actually happens is that the amount of memory needed to run programs exceeds the amount of physical RAM, but swap is still available, so the OOM killer doesn’t give a shit. At this point many, many operations in programs are taking several orders of magnitude longer than they should do because instead of fetching a value from memory they need to:
So while your PC is running 100-1000x slower than it normally would, the OOM killer is doing nothing. If you manage to consume all your swap space, then, and only then, will the OOM killer wake up and kill something. It may kill the right thing, or it may not.
The modern approach is to use a user-space OOM daemon which monitors memory and swap usage and aggressively kills processes before that happens. Unfortunately, this tends to result in killing your (high-memory) web browser, or the whole desktop session.
Sucks. Get more RAM for your sever maybe.
This is what happens when you let the algebraists play at doing foundations.
Ok, children it’s time to go back upstairs now, the set theorists grown ups need some peace.
The law’s pretty clear in this case.
What you’re saying is really that breaking the law was justified, something that the legal system has no concept of and never can.
This has nothing to do with dictatorship; all democracies are built on the rule of law, which means the if you break the law (and are caught) you suffer the punishment.
It’s actually the opposite: Discretionary exceptions to the law are a hallmark of authoritarian societies where those with power let their friends off the hook, but punish their enemies harshly. Maybe you can think of some examples in recent times in the US.
It was built on them. Doesn’t mean they’re still working.
Do you mean, “will it prevent ICE making use of these agreements with local police forces” or "will it prevent ICE from deploying onto Maryland’s streets and committing acts of violence and repression?
We don’t know if she had any information about crimes, or whether she went to the authorities ffs
All this effort when S3 did everything
Do you want to read books with ragged margins? Ew.
I think the reason is obvious.
A coroner obviously cannot determine if something was a murder; that is up to a court.
You read the obvious truth. If you’re just getting by, can’t really save anything each month, and then your phone breaks and you need a new one (as in, it’s your only means of communication, so you can’t work and earn money without it) then spreading out costs over several months may help.
