USB-C is only like 10 years old, and widespread availability has been within maybe the last 5 years. I think it's fine they waited, enforcing a brand new and unproven technology would have been a bad idea.

For really sensitive applications like voltage references, they actually build a little enclosure around the part with a built in heater to keep it at a constant calibrated temperature. The boards also often have cutouts to reduce thermal transfer and things like the board flexing causing stress to the part.

The resistor itself won't really drift at a constant temperature, especially in a sealed environment where condensation, corrosion, and dust aren't a factor.

The actual method for calibrating exact resistor values involves starting with a lower resistance and etching away parts of it with a laser to get to the exact value you want. You probably still couldn't get as many decimal places as OP tho

Yeah, I've got Wifi 7 set up and it's awesome. I've got a single access point, and I get full gigabit in my office with line of sight, and it auto switches to 5GHz or 2.4GHz when I move too far away. It's also great for apartments since it's more easily blocked by walls, there's way less interference from neighbors.

Depending on the type of bankruptcy, the business can still operate, all their profits would just be going towards paying off their depts.

C could still bankrupt the company depending on how trial goes. They pirated a lot of books.

I've adopted this same strategy. I've bought maybe 2 games in the last couple years. I haven't been hyped for a Steam sale in over 5 years

$100B would put you at #19 richest person. If taken from Elon, he wouldn't even lose a spot...

The hard problems are the only reason I like programming. If 90% of my job was repetitive boilerplate, I'd probably be looking elsewhere.

I really dislike how LLMs are flooding the internet with a seemingly infinite amount of half-broken TODO-app style programs with no care at all for improving things or doing something actually unique.

The real flaw in the diagram is that all the intermediate steps of Agile are usable products. All 5 of those are completed, sellable products. Agile pivots way before any of these become usable.

The implication and "punchline" here is that millennials only have $300/year of free spending money. It's self-deprecating/morbid humor.
