This prepared him/her to understand the great conflict of vim and emacs users no doubt.

I was hoping for pictures of the secret tunnels and hidden crawl spaces :(

I appreciate you doing these tests, this (and your last article) instantly answers my question about "how will this perform in one of my rpis?". Please keep doing them as new cards(with their marketing claims) are introduced!

These sound like night exercises from infantry school.

The idea that exercise cannot prevent obesity without a proper diet is very misleading. Yes, if someone eats 7k calories and does not train like an olympian, they are going to gain weight. However, you can consume 5k calories a day whilst exercising(properly) 5 days a week, and remain very trim and "cut" as the term goes. Proper exercise is not popular though, because if it was easy....well everyone would do it.

The idea that "you have to burn more calories exercising than you eat" is 100% false. The calories you burn while exercising make up less than half of the calories you burn because of exercising. Lean muscle mass maintenance caloric requirements exceed adipose tissue requirements by an order of magnitude. Simplified: the more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories your body will burn with zero effort to support that muscle mass.

That said, a proper diet is a great idea for a ton of reasons. I replied only to point out that proper exercise carries a lot of weight(no pun intended).

If you have available vertical space, I've printed a "cooling case" that works great with my pi 3b+ without heatsinks. It's shaped like a flower vase(wide top, narrow bottom). The top is open(think of it like a large, open drinking cup), and the pi sits in the very bottom. Two funnel-shaped openings(large inlet, small outlet) allow outside airflow directly onto the CPU and wifi chips.

So far it works at full load without throttling for at least the time span of a full length movie(my use-case is a plex media server). The concept is that exhaust heat leaving through the larger opening up top is heated(and expanding) air. The depressurized vase pulls cooler ambient air in through the 2 funnels, which strike the CPU and wifi module for a poor-mans "active cooling", albeit at much lower speeds than a motor-driven fan could provide.

The downside is required vertical; the case is 8 inches tall. This is several times the vertical height of the board itself, so it's a bit of a non-starter for small embedded device use-cases. If you have space to spare though, it might be worth a shot depending on your use-case.

> This attitude frustrates me.

CEO's making market-wages (100k+) "working for charity" frustrates me. At that wage, they aren't charity workers at all. Every dollar they accept is someone remaining underfed, while the CEO gets resume-flair.

Protip: Charity's do not need a CEO in the sense that a company pushing a product to market needs a CEO to manage various business units. They need someone who cares about the net impact to the impoverished at reasonable expense to themselves.

> I never understood when bigshots force deals with companies they used to work at

It's the devil they know. It's not likely malicious or anything conniving, and just something they feel comfortable talking about when making the pitch for their integration.

I speculate the parent comment was referring to the frequency of core dumps: that he/she experiences more of them compared to the Python tracebacks you mentioned.

Disclaimer, I'm speculating that's what they meant, because I feel the same way. It's more common(for me) for Python to refuse to run than to run anyway and later crash, compared to C++. That said, Python isn't a good analogy there...Rust or Golang are more likely to refuse to run for bad code instead of running anyway and crashing later.

If wholesale energy cost goes up because of reduced demand, wouldn't that financial impact fall mostly to people below the poverty line? IE, those people who cannot afford to install solar/wind/alternative power sources and only have the grid as an option - those people would be forced to pay higher and higher rates(widening their financial gap to ever get off the grid).

> Don’t do this if you’re an American—it’s illegal to bribe anywhere in the world.

Is this a US-citizen thing? I haven't heard that before and am curious.

If spreadsheets work for your use-case or industry, then by all means keep using them. Occasionally, I'll use one myself for some business purpose. However...the problem with spreadsheets is that people routinely use them for the wrong reasons. Those wrong reasons are the cause of the spreadsheet hate. It's not spreadsheets themselves that cause this, it's people with limited knowledge and limited ambition to learn how to use the correct tool for a task.

The saying "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" applies.

Often, someone using spreadsheets will suspect that their task may be better accomplished in some manner of programming. This leads them to try to do it. If they are in this situation, chances are, they are not a professional programmer. They are going to have a poor experience, and likely fail. This is due to sub-par or non-existent software engineering skills, and not due to spreadsheets being the correct tool for every task.

> What is the best way to deal with something like this?

Bribe them, it's business as usual there. When approached by officers, this is what they are likely expecting.

And how can I, the person being filmed, verify that?
