“Then there is the % address operator: user %domainB@domainA is first sent to domainA, which expands the rightmost (in this case, the only) percent sign to an @ sign. The address is now user@domainB, and the mailer happily forwards your message to domainB, which delivers it to user. This type of address is sometimes referred to as “Ye Olde ARPAnet Kludge,” and its use is discouraged“

>Ye Olde ARPAnet Kludge

Seems fitting that NetBSD's internal mailing lists still use ossified address syntax from a time before DNS.

Please don’t terrify your contractors. They fix your place, and you want them on your side doing a good job.

I take "terrify" to mean "they know they will be supervised and their wkrk checked".

I've "terrified" contractors when I've called them on their BS. I once had a contractor tell me it was okay to notch 50% into a load bearing floor joist. I quickly pulled up the building code and his face went pale...

This should be my new screensaver

Personally, I’d start with divide and conquer. If you’re working on a relevant code base chances are that you can’t learn all the API spec and documentation because it’s just too much.

Also: Fix every bug twice: Both the implementation and the “call site” — if at all possible

Ye ol’ “belt and suspenders” approach?

Check the plug should be first

Correcting the correction:

> When you connect 2 9000 mAh cells in series, the resulting battery has 2x the voltage but the same mAh capacity. In parallel, the battery has the same voltage but 2x the mAh.

The relevant units are:

* Capacity (Q, in mAh, Ah, kWh, etc)

* Power (P, in Watts)

* Voltage (U, in Volts)

* Current (I, in Amperes)

* Duration (t, in mostly measured in hours)

And the relevant formulas are:

* P = U x I or Power equals Voltage(difference) times Current

* Q = P x t or Capacity equals Power times duration

From this we can establish that connecting batteries in series or in parallel will not change their Capacity. When having 13 batteries of 29000mAh, or 29Ah, you have 13 x 29 = 377Ah or 377000mAh. Connecting batteries in series or parallel does make a difference in voltage and current: a string in series will increase the voltage while keeping the current the same (theoretically, in practice you get less than the current of the weakest cell); a parallel setup will increase the maximum current while keeping the voltage the same (again, in theory).

If you have two 1000 mAh cells connected in series, they will provide 1 amp for 1 hour. The battery is still 1000 mAh even though it is made of two cells with 2000 mAh total.

You are equating amp-hours with watt-hours, which is not reasonable. Q is charge, and is only proportional to a number of electrons. E is the energy, or a number of electrons at a voltage.

> When having 13 batteries of 29000mAh, or 29Ah, you have 13 x 29 = 377Ah or 377000mAh

By this logic, with those cells in series the whole battery would be at 48 volts and 337 amp-hours, giving it a storage of 18.1 kWh. That's despite being made of 13 cells with only 107 watt-hours each.

Same for me. I wanted to contribute, but the amount of dependencies needed to get a local build to run was a major hurdle.

Except that the argument here was about bass, and the paper shows that age dependent hearing frequency response varies mostly in the mid-high range.

This is true, I sometimes refer to my Grados headphones as "my first hearing aid"

Eh, I was responding to someone wondering why the singular curve used was wrong. My point was that there is no universal answer that works for every individual, even if you are opinionated about how things should sound.

And you are? The one who deals out the stereotypes?

Is no one allowed to mention stereotypes, because there's no defined authority? The Dutch being direct is about as uncontroversial as you could get.

In any case, the comment I replied to already made the claim. I deliberately weakened it by saying it was a stereotype rather than talking as if it were unconditionally true.

Not saying you are wrong, but this is anecdotal. I’d rather try to interpret crash statistics than use my own experience.

All of this. Plus the exhaust gasses and tire wear pollutants causing early deaths. The noise (bigger) cars make disrupting quiet places like parks and porches, balconies, bedrooms causing stress. The waste of used cars, often being transported to third world countries. Cars kill in so many ways, especially big cars.
