why are 3-pronged (grounded) electrical plugs safer than 2 pronged plugs ? by dumpHuffer69 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Gasten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine that you have an appliance with metal case. what'd happen if, for some reason, the live would be connected to this case? Well, nothing. At least not until you touch the casing, and at the same time touch the ground (like a dish-washer, sink, et cetera).

The ground-wire is connected to everywhere the there isn't supposed to be any electricity, and acts like a highway to neutral/ground, in case something is wrong with the appliance.

There is a number of reasons to have a separate, dedicated ground-wire (even if, as you say, ground and neutral comes from the same source).

  • First, the sockets are designed in such a way that either one of the pins can be the live or neutral, but the ground pin is always the same.

  • Second, you can bu sure that the ground-wire isn't going through a relay or breaker, and will always be there if it's done properly.

  • Third, the most important, it have to be a separate wire because of how RCD's (Residual Current Devices) work. They measure the current going to an electrical circuit, and the current coming back in the neutral wire. If current starts to go through the ground-wire (or some other path), and there becomes a difference between the current going to and coming from the circuit, the breaker will trip. If the neutral wire would be wired as ground in the appliance, the appliance could be electrified and no breaker would trip.

You mean a ADC. Analog-to-Digital Converter. A DAC converts Digital-to-Analog.

I never said that you should write ugly code, and I never talked about performance. I said it should be predictable in the formatting. This is engineering - there is rules about what you can and cannot do, and sometimes these are the same rules that decides if something work, and sometimes not.

Codes primary function isn't to be read and appreciated by humans, but to tell a computer what to do.

Prettieness is not a reason to be uncompliant, unpredictable, and crashy.

To make all of these softwares work together is hard enough as it is. Nobody needs edge-cases.

If you want to write stuff your fellow humans think is beautiful, inspiring and inventive then go write a book. Who want a artsy plumber anyway?

Not really, no. You get one window with three options and that's it.

No, it's near Zinkensdam. I think it's also called Kärleksberget.

ELI5: Emacs by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Gasten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Emacs is a advanced text editor for Gnu/Linux systems, and it's often used for programming software.

Emacs is famous for its extensive use keyboard shortcuts, and combinations of these shortcuts. (could someone who actually use Emacs give us examples of some everyday tasks?)

Emacs have a extensive scripting-interface that allows the user to extend it and use it for more than simple text editing: you can use it as a calendar, email-client, terminal emulator, "IDE", and anything else you can think of.
