  • The superior technique is solder the strands together at the tip of the wire, then plug it into Wago so you can disconnect it easily when you need to add another wire.

    Or well, crimp the ends and connect to a busbar with bolts, but that’s for wires where you calculate your electricity in kilowatts.

    By the time your wire reaches 200⁰ needed for your solder to melt, your insulation would already be burning. That’s not a plausible scenario, or you need to deliberately make a bad solder joint, cutting half the strands in the wire so it overheats in that particular place.


  • Standard C library is not the place to learn from or an example of good programming. This particular piece would not only fail every code review, but would make your colleagues point fingers at you and laugh:

    #define ... (repeated 10 times)
    #include ...
    #undef ... (repeated another 10 times)
    

    In every sane codebase this piece of code would be replaced with some Python script that generates C source file that, while not pretty, does not make you want to commit an arson in your office room.

    No. Standard C library is a pile of legacy code from 1980 that still includes pieces to support obscure OSes with the last version released in 1990, using a massive unreadable mess of #ifdef. It’s only purpose is to work exactly as described in the documentation, pass unit tests, and maybe follow POSIX standard when it has the mood.






  • Zoo animals behave differently than animals in the wild.

    Both types are wild animals, however zoo animals get a meal or two per day with minimal effort required, so of course you’ll get a fat lazy tiger who does not particularly care to attack you.

    Second point is that the tiger was raised by that zookeeper from birth, so yeah, the tiger trusts them, that does not mean that the tiger will trust you or anyone else like your neighbour’s pet dog does.

    You absolutely can adopt a racoon baby and raise it into a racoon who will act like a pet cat towards you but bite all your visitors. Some people specifically get a wild animal pet for that reason.
