Big iron means a mainframe. The Ferrari of servers.

I design big iron. The hardware is great, don’t blame us.

You’re misunderstanding me.

For instance, electrons always move the same speed in a given metal. Which of couse isn’t even ‘true’ because temperature affects mobility.

There are multiple mechanisms for metal to migrate, grow whiskers, or whatever you like to call the individual growth on an object. I mentioned that in the case if ICs, we are concerned with one we call electromigration. I’m not saying all metal migration is due to electromigration.

You’re being pedantic when all I’m saying is, I deal with these sorts of concerns in my job.

The mechanism behind metal whisker growth is not well understood, but seems to be encouraged by compressive mechanical stresses. According to Wikipedia.

Electrons in metal always move the same speed, and potential differences in modern high perf applications are never above 3.3V. There are mechanical stresses in ICs introduced during manufacturing. So these cases aren’t as different as you let on.

Anyway, point is, metal moves, we have some ideas why and can model some of them. From an engineering perspective these are both tin whiskers. We call whiskers made of copper and aluminum tin whiskers. You’re describing a distinction without a difference.

This can happen inside ICs and has been a known failure mode for high frequency processors for many years. I work in chip design, and we use software tools to simulate it. It’s called electromigration.

I love Obra Dinn, but not top 10 love. I think the fresh style in an industry of samey games using the same few engines made it really stand out for me. It’s retro styled, but also goes beyond that to show you it’s world in a new way.

If the art style doesn’t do it for you then you might not enjoy it as much.

Sumatra pdf viewer. Much faster than adobe ,and free.

These examples of soul sucking jobs will be the loudest recruiting companies, because no one wants to work there. They can sometimes pay well too.

Highly skilled people are needed in a lot of practical industries that pay a bit less (but still well enough). You just need to seek them out.

Police just held a press conference stating as much.
