The motherboard "knows more" than the PSU though, it should be able to better deal with these idle power situations by shutting down things that aren't used anymore and powering them back up when needed. An external PSU would have tighter constraints regarding power availability and wouldn't be able to optimize the power profile quite as aggressively since they don't really know exactly what they're driving.
I use HSLuv for designing our maps at Thunderforest. The map stylesheet language we use is CartoCSS, and it has built-in support for HSLuv since 2016.

https://cartocss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/language_elements....

I can really recommend using HSLuv for this kind of thing. I used to use regular RGB values (like #f2cdaa), but it's hard to make features on the map "a bit less blue" without accidentally changing other properties. For example, changing #f2cdaa to #f2cd88 makes it less blue, but also darker.

So a few years ago I switched to using HSL in our stylesheets (and using the HSL tab in the Inkscape colour picker) which makes it easier to reason about the colour changes. But there's still some problems with HSL, as the article describes. For example when choosing road colours, I often want to keep the saturation and lightness the same, but when I make minor roads yellow the change in hue really changes the perceived brightness in HSL.

So HSLuv is great for what I do, since I know that if I get the brightness and saturation of the roads the way I want, I can mess around with the hue without any side effects. Or if I like the colour of the forests but want them slightly less saturated, again no side effects when I make changes.

The big drawback is that there aren't many colour pickers available in HSLuv, mainly just the one on https://www.hsluv.org/ . I haven't found e.g. HSLuv colour picker plugins for Inkscape or the GIMP yet.

> The country was ultimately liberated by the Americans in Greenland [...]

Hmm. "On 8 April 1941, the United States occupied Greenland to defend it against a possible invasion by Germany."[1] So, first, there never were any German occupiers to liberate Greenland from, and second, the US occupation of Greenland started 4 years before 1945.

> Furthermore, there were emplacements for massive guns with 42 kilometre range, which could close the strait south of the island to the coast of what is now Poland (then Germany).

First, the strait is 90 kilometres wide.[2] Second, the last German stronghold on the southern coast of the strait, the port of Kolberg (Kołobrzeg) fell to the Polish People's Army on March 18.[3] Calling the coast "then Germany" in May is pretty weird.

We can't possibly know the world that could have been if the subsidies payed out to wind power and solar were split 50%/50% along side nuclear. But I can't imagine we'd be in a worse place. There are so many ideas to explore, e.g. thorium or traveling wave reactors.

Unfortunately it's too late as we need to address carbon emissions now. If we want nuclear, we'll have to invest everything we should have invested over the last 30 years plus continue subsidizing renewables at the current rate.

Did you read what was in the original Twitter thread? Hospitals at 200%, people who need intensive care that aren't even looked at, staff who get sick and are otherwise completely overworked...

I'm not sure if you can overreact to that, to be honest.

But people in countries that aren't at that stage yet think it won't be so bad there. Because it's all fake and second-hand information, not well sourced, and therefore probably not true and so we shouldn't overreact. Wrong! You should take precautions now, while you still can.

Because what is described in the thread fits completely with an exponentially growing disease that everyone seemingly gets at once and thus completely overwhelms the hospitals. You shouldn't try to shush people who point that out.

Basically every OEM small PC (everything below SFF from Lenovo, HP, Dell, Fujitsu, etc. which do not accept PCIe extension cards and are pretty much built from laptop parts) is now powered from laptop brick PSUs. Which means everything inside the desktop is derived off of a single 19-20V DC line. SFFs still use internal PSU but they're all custom and while I haven't opened up one recently I'm sure they dropped as many of the rails as possible since they have full control of the MoBo/PSU design. The only PCs that use ATX PSUs are full towers in general.

Colors are hard. Mixing colors is harder. Yesterday I launched a new tool [1] to automatically create pleasing gradients aimed at web devs.

It uses ideas similar to the ones described in the article. But the hard part with dark-to-light color gradients is determining what's a pleasing darker or lighter variant of a color. There's a lot of subjectivity involved. You cannot objectively determine a certain color that lies "between" two other colors.

Anyway, I hope my tool helps with quickly creating a nice CSS color gradient.

WD-40 marketing is clever. Sometimes you need that brand for a product to be stocked. Regular household oil costs pennies in a can, the margin is therefore low and a retailer isn't going to be making much money on each sale. You could put a brand on a regular household oil and try to charge more but it is not something people care about, they will go for the generic oil somewhere else.

However WD-40 with its mythical backstory and ambiguous brand name can command a premium over regular household oil. This makes it work for the retailer as it no longer sells for pennies. The shop down the road that also stocks it will also have it at the same price, it is a brand that works for the retailer. People can ask for it by name and not feel they are getting conned.

This works up the retail chain with wholesalers and international distributors able to make money from the brand.

Odd that for such a beginner's grade product it comes from the cutting edge of the space age.

Sure, but that can happen if:

1) Shares were massively overvalued compared to their yields. E.g. if P/E ratios were 50:1 then I wouldn't buy the market

2) There's a fundamental issue in the economy. Plague, war, asteroid, climate change. Whatever the issue, you probably have bigger things to worry about than your retirement fund, and you have no better bets to place

The stock market is just made up of businesses. Businesses make money. Owning part of a business gives you a return. There's no magic to it, no massive extrapolation based solely on past performance. If you think there's a decent chance businesses aren't making money, then you ought to become a prepper.

> Vincent definitely doesn't die on his way to Titan. I'm not sure where you got that from.

It's alluded to a few times in the movie. Vincent never saves anything for the swim back. Vincent specifically mentions that he is living on borrowed time as he has surpassed the "number of beats expected of his heart". And there is the treadmill scene where he was barely able to hang on. Remember that the training was to select people who can physically survive the journey and thrive on titan. Not to mention Vincent doesn't bring any of Jerome's urine,blood,etc with him to Titan. Do you really believe they don't check your identification on titan? Also, the lock of hair that Jerome gave to Vincent is an acknowledgment of Vincent that Jerome isn't going to make it and of course that Vincent isn't going to make it either. Finally, the last words of Vincent: "For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess, I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once a part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving; maybe I'm going home."

> Jerome also self-immolates because he realizes that his purpose is now completed, not because he is cynical and depressed.

That's a very upbeat view. But people don't normally celebrate fulfilling their purpose by burning themselves to death. Some believe that Vincent's death symbolizes going to heaven since he overachieved and Jerome's death is hell ( burning ) because he underachieved.

> Vincent through achieving his goal of becoming an astronaut and Jerome through providing his identity and biological material for a greater purpose.

But there's the rub, Vincent didn't become an astronaut, "Jerome" did. Even when Vincent succeeded, he didn't.

> "I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body - you lent me your dream."

Yes. And neither achieved their dream and both died at the end. And Jerome also left enough blood,urine,etc for two lifetimes... Think about what that really means.

I used to view Gattaca as you did. It was inspirational like Rudy. But then I watched it more and started noticing more aspects of the movie and it is far deeper and far more tragic than a generic inspirational movie. It's a tragedy.
Did we read the same article? To quote:

"Lyman believes that the department’s past efforts have “consistently underestimated”the “spectrum of mission risks posed by these microreactors," mostly around the technical challenges of keeping the radioactive fuel safe and operational in battlefield conditions.

“Fielding these reactors without commanders fully understanding the radiological consequences and developing robust response plans to cope with the aftermath could prove to be a disastrous miscalculation,” warned Lyman."

If I remember my mechanic's advice correctly, you have to be careful what solvents you use. You might dilute/prevent lubricants from actually staying inside the chain links with WD40. Put differently: the solvent you use should be paired with the lubricant to ensure you get the best effect from both. Almost universally, the recommendation was not to use WD40 because it's just not good.

I may be talking "old wives tales" here though so I'd like an actual mechanic to correct me please.
The answer for JPEG XT is in Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XT

"JPEG XT extensions are backward compatible with base JPEG/JFIF file format - existing software is forward compatible and can read the JPEG XT binary stream, though it would only decode the base 8-bit lossy image."

It is a standardization of how to put additional data in the already existing JPEG file format, the one that we already have supported everywhere.

Then, if some software "understands" what the XT parts of these JPEG files mean, it can use these new parts, still, the files are usable on every device, just these XT parts don't mean anything to the devices that don't understand XT.

Recursive by default (which is what member-by-member implies) leads trivially to infinite recursion in reference loops, which your default equals would need to guard against, greatly increasing its complexity.

Reference equality is generally fine for mutable types, you probably only want value equality for immutable types. If you use value equality for mutable types, you start getting into trouble when you use them as e.g. hash keys.

My opinion is not unbias, as is nobodies, and I agree with one of the main points, that there was no economic miracle. However taking the whole book at face value will give you a totally distorted one-sided view of the topics.

Several EU countries in addition to China are already actively using chloroquine and hydroxichloroquine to treat COVID19 patients. And I mean outside trials.

For instance:

Here are the Netherlands treatment guidelines (in Dutch): https://lci.rivm.nl/covid-19/bijlage/medicamenteuze-behandel...

Here are the Italy treatment guidelines (in Italian): http://www.simit.org/medias/1555-covid19-linee-guida-trattam...

I think the anecdote on how they found out about the effectiveness of chloroquine in China is fascinating and has nothing to do with the in vitro efficiency study nor with the malaria usage but solely with the immunomodulator effect. They just noticed that there were no lupus patients infected with Covid19. And after investigating with the dermatology dept, they confirmed that indeed there were no reported lupus patients of that hospital infected with covid19.

Their common treatment was chloroquine...

It should be noted that as far as the Chinese are concerned, it doesn't seem like there is any debate about chloroquine usefulness for COVID19.
