ABI compatibility in Python: How hard could it be?
TL;DR: Trail of Bits has developed abi3audit, a new Python tool for checking Python packages for CPython application binary interface (ABI) violations. We’ve used it to discover hundreds of inconsistently and incorrectly tagged package distributions, each…

Why does the E12 resistor sequence use 27 and 33 instead of 26 and 32? https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/643070/why-are-e12-resistor-values-10-12-15-18-22-27-33-39-47-56-68-82-and-not-10-12-15
Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
Why does the E12 resistor sequence use 27 and 33 instead of 26 and 32?
On the assumption that the E12 values were chosen to be equally spaced logarithmically between 10 and 100 ohms we get the ideal values of:
10.00
12.12
14.68
17.78
21.54
26.10
31.62
