It avoids situations where there's a feeling of wastage when a page isn't fully filled, or cramped writing when there's more than a page worth of information to write down.

The phrase 'Quantum Leap', then, was popularly taken to mean a large change.

The damage done to the vernacular by that show's title is only exceeded by the damage done to the vernacular by another piece of 1990s popular culture, Alanis Morissette's song 'Ironic'.

Pay up front for two batteries and a fast-enough charger, and you can charge one battery while you wear the other down; there's still some downtime, but after wearing out a battery the human operator probably needs some downtime, too.

The cost is basically equivalent, minus the battery cost; consider it a prepayment for gasoline, and it probably works out on that front, too.

TBH I thought they had 15cm, but for human-scale large object monitoring (fires, traffic, construction) 50cm is enough.

> Obviously, it was wet with the weather last week, but I honestly can’t remember any huge puddles or anything like that. It’s not like I was driving my car through the Cairngorms.

Planet has the spatial resolution but not the temporal resolution.

NOAA has the temporal resolution but not the spatial resolution.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Perfection of any kind does not exist in the physical world, so any test against perfection will fail - it's simply a matter of phrasing to choose what you want to identify as failing.

The test isn't whether All or Every such-and-such meets some test, it's the current state (do many or most meet the test?) and the direction (are more or fewer meeting the test?) that matters.

A moral of the story is: put a sticker on the cover of your laptop. Similarly, a bit of flagging tape[1] on luggage isn't a bad idea. Having an expensive and precious belonging that looks exactly the same as an uncountable number of other people's belongings is, on the face of it, unwise.

If, say, you have 256GB RAM and a 100GB folder of ~1GB files, you will only ever have a few GB used actively. A first pass of processing over the folder will take a long time (reading from disk). Subsequent passes will be much faster, though, because reading is done from the RAM-cached versions of the files (the output from the previous run, was my understanding).

What seemed to work for me was a group policy (requires local admin, and probably the non-'home' version of win10):

gpedit > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select the target Feature Update version

Then, set "product version" to 'Windows 10', and "Target Version" to '22H2' (or whatever you want).

Seems to work; after that, the Windows Update pane will say "Some of these settings are managed by your organization", and (for me, so far, at least) there isn't any more browbeating for Win11 installation.
