You're correct. There is somewhat of a constraint on the aspect ratio (x/y), but also some flexibility. Meaning it doesn't need to be 50%, but 10% or 90% are probably too much. But no hard limit.

Door #3... image — ImgBB[^] Difficult to explain words, but the idea is to have a rectangle in the middle with no protusions. Coordinates/sizes are not discrete.

You are right... canning is an ordeal. I've tried this: Habanero Death Dust — Oakridge BBQ - Serious BBQ Rub[^] and it was good. You could use it as a starting point for your own personal "death dust"

I think the Habanero jelly idea is a great one. I love spicy foods as well; and have tried Habanero jelly. It was fantastic! I had it on lamb and pork, but can imagine it would be delicious on a great many foods. You can always try a small batch of jelly - it doesn't sounds like you're in Habanero rationing mode.

Imagine having ‘N’ rectilinear blocks of varying sizes. 'N' can be any number (< 1000); and of different but similar sizes. See here... blocks — ImgBB[^] I need an algorithm that will place these in a “ring” fashion, such that the area is minimized. White spaces or blank spaces within the ring are fine. Ring picture... ring — ImgBB[^] The constraints are… Each rectilinear block must be placed Minimize the area (x*y) Create a ring such as below Ring implementation Note that my two pictures don't align exactly, meaning not all the blocks in the first picture are placed in the second. These pictures are only provided as reference/examples. I’m not a computer scientist by trade. This would seem to be a cost optimization problem, by I’m having a problem wading through the many optimization algorithms out there. Any guidance on which algorithm would be viable? Thanks!

If you're interested in Shannon, then I highly recommend this [^] book.

That is incorrect. CMOS circuits still consume current, even when they are not switching. It's commonly referred to as leakage, and is well understood. There are many sources of leakage in CMOS circuits, but the most common is subthreshold leakage. Generally speaking, this leakage gets worse as technology gets smaller, but - in recent years - has been mitigated against with fin-FET technologies.

Happened to us. It took out our dryer as well. Samsung support was terrible until my wife called them out publicly on facebook. They finally reimbursed us months after it went out.

Use it almost every day.

I've had charging issues due to subpar USB cables. Have you tried a different cable?

Not with a push of a button, but certainly with a small (or large-ish) m-file. Post the equation somewhere. It can't be the worst equation in the world.

There are a lot of websites available. What specifically are you studying?

Most static RAM bits are implemented using back to back inverters and two t-gates. Thus 6-transistors for a single bit, hence called 6T SRAM bit cell.

There's not a computer I use that doesn't have the caps lock key mapped to the control key. Although I'm an emacs guy, so I use the control key extensively.

No special settings. Just my defaults. I'm using an HP Color Laser as well (model 3800).

I agree. It's awesome. No more Latex for writing specifications & such. Printed for me just fine.
