No LED bulbs will work properly with triac based dimmers. “Dimmable LEDs” are horrible hacks that just about cling on for dear life, and many just won’t work at all. Those dimmers are for incandescent bulbs.
The right way to dim an LED is pulse width modulation of the DC power, not chopping up the AC wave. That’s what smart bulbs do because they have the dimming logic after the power supply is convertered from AC to DC in the bulb enclosure.
You know the study of history isnt just taking one account and believing it, right?
You build as much evidence as you can from multiple sources so you can account for and remove those biases. Obviously, the further back you go, the harder it is to find evidence but that doesn’t mean you work from one source.
The slave system would be senseless, stupid and unnatural under modern conditions. But under the conditions of a disintegrating primitive communal system, the slave system is a quite understandable
What bullcrap! Slavery exists today. It’s still repugnant even though it “makes sense” to those that benefit from it.
The Mongols rampaging across Asia and offering the false choice of slavery or anhilation to all the people they encountered was evil then and it’s evil today. Distancing yourself from it doesn’t change the evaluation.
Hexbear and Lemmit.
Got bored of arguing with fanatical communists and I have no interest in mirrored content from Reddit.
…because that’s his name. It was how people referred to him. It’s not like people are going “He’s Grrrreat!” like Tony the Tiger.
Is this just a case of “great” having changed meaning subtly? Now it’s a superlative more than anything else, but in this usage I feel it meaning is much more about scale of what they did. Not a judgment on the morality of what they did.
Probably more people are descendents of Ghengis Khan than aren’t. Certainly nothing special.
Do we glorify them, or do we just learn about them because they had a huge impact on the world?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone holding Genghis Khan up as a role model.
There’s a problem in engineering education from anywhere in my opinion. The main issue is teaching knowledge, not understanding. This is then backed up with technology being so impenetrable these days that it’s next to impossible to self teach by ripping stuff apart to see how it works.
This combination is producing people at the end of their education having very little idea how to work on anything.
We just did, though a democratic vote.
In situations where that’s not an option it has to be done in other ways.
…before you do it yourselves.
Are you suggesting the west should invade Russia to remove Putin?
There’s no getting away from the fact that it’s only the population of Russia that can change Russia. Sure, they can try to escape and leave, but that just leaves those who remain as the only ones able to do anything.
The most difficult part is to keep track of the big picture because it is so verbose. Otherwise it’s a handful or two of instructions you use 90+% of the time.
It’s a long time since I wrote any assembly in anger, but I don’t remember this being an issue. Back then Id be writing 2D and 3D graphics demos. Reasonably complex things, but the challenge was always getting it fast enought to keep the frame rate up, not code structure.
As you say, I think you just establish patterns to decompose the problem.
Only the most very basic compilers. C compilers are in C mainly.
Not from burning it, no.
From Oil and gas companies not maintaining their pipelines and it leaking during transit, yes.
Biggest emissions in the US are around fracking sites.
Wasn’t it a spin off from Hercules w/ Kevin Sorbo?
Oh yes. I loved that at the time. Haven’t watched it in ages.
If you like the character-plqy of GoT and don’t mind a smaller story (i.e. a single conflict rather than a world at war) then I think House of the Dragon is great. I know some are finding the pacing slow, but I’m really enjoying all the 2 or 3 character scenes where it’s all about the dialogue.
Edit: another I’ve not seen in the thread is “The Great”, which styles itself as “A sometimes true story”. A comedy drama based on Katherine the Great’s rise to power in 18th Century Russia - Huzzah! Written by the same writer that did the oscar winning “The Favourite”.
Currently rewatching. So good.
Those that worked worked more by luck than by design though. That’s what I’m trying to say. Different dimmer, and you’ll probably get different ones working.
