They’re sort of similar, but also opposite. A convertor twists up the pen pulling ink into the chamber. A piston twists down the pen creating a vacuum first. When it gets to the bottom the vacuum is exposed to the nib and the ink is rapidly sucked up. I definitely find the piston less messy.

>Now if you want to try a few different inks, do that next. Maybe get a second pen, see whether 'fine' or 'medium' sized nibs is more your thing.

And that’s the moment you fell into the trap.

The US State of California WAS Mexico in 1848. Much of California still is Mexico. The personal notion of "mother soil" may have nothing to do with current political boundaries.

It's pretty simple, Trump hates Muslims more than he hates Jews ("Fine people on both sides", Kanye & Feuntes, cancelling funding for domestic anti-semitism programs...). This is the Muslim ban under a different guise.

Isn’t that exactly how Amazon started?

>a $40 roll of thin gauge solder (which will last the rest of your life)

I dunno, I'm 56 and I'm about to finish the roll I bought as a teenager. (Albeit bought in pre-RoHS times.)

What a pointless blog. “I don’t know why Thunderbolt exists. Here let me daisy chain PCIe and Thunderbolt devices to try and break it. Oh, it works, I must be cursed.”

So surprised I had to scroll too far for this reply. I actually work for one of the major US carriers. My job is literally to figure out how to apply the technical capabilities of 5G to solve business problems. NONE of the US carriers have figured out how to actually deliver network slicing beyond, say, reserving capacity for first responders. And, as you say, it’s about capacity, not speed per se. We want to make sure that, say, an AGV can offload kinematics to the MEC and navigate in real time in dynamic environments. The poster child for network slicing is the surgeon doing telesurgery over a 5G network (But that’s likely to remain a poster child). We’re figuring out how to provide network slices for autonomous vehicles, mobile teleoperation, etc., in all use cases we’re examining it because something BAD could happen absent guaranteed capacity. I have never ever heard anyone talk about using network slicing for QoS for consumer apps.

But instruction set, in practice and in this case, is tightly coupled with form factor and MIPS per watt. I work in mobile robotics: my low end choice is RPi, high end an NVIDIA board. While I can see Risc-V challenging ARM here, they don’t yet. (Excepting an ultra low power/low compute edge-case.) I just don’t see any CISC architecture that’s available today competing.
