My father ran his own TV repair shop for many years. When I was a teen he helped me make a Tesla coil out of a simple oscillator and the flyback transformer from a scrapped TV. It would make a spark 2 or 3 inches long and could illuminate a florescent light from several feet away. It definitely produced higher voltage than normally exists in a TV, but not orders of magnitude more. The high voltage circuits in CRTs are dangerous as hell.

This x1000.

2 bits = a quarter (25 cents), 4 bits = 50 cents

8 bits = byte, 4 bits = nibble

Therefore 50 Cent = Nibble.

I tried to automate the process as much as possible. There's a separate Automated Linux From Scratch project, but I choose to roll my own. This was my first experience with Bash scripts -- I developed skills (and bad habits) that I continue to use this day.

The heuristic algorithm won by a landslide -- 60 to 4 or worse (I don't remember exactly).

"Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: 'Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.'"

SEQUENCEs, used to implement SERIAL and BIGSERIAL primary keys, are not transacted. "BEGIN; {insert 1,000,000 rows}; ROLLBACK" always adds 1,000,000 to the table's primary key SEQUENCE, despite the ROLLBACK. Likewise for upsert (via INSERT ON CONFLICT).

The end result: A table's SERIAL (32-bit signed integer) primary key can overflow even when it contains far fewer than 2^31 rows.

Shakedry actually delivers on this promise.

FWIW I do endurance cycling in the Seattle area, a.k.a. "The Pacific NorthWET". We tend to stress the hell out of waterproof clothing.

IMO if Shimano could DRM their chains and other consumables they would.
