(ici :) caractéristiques et exigences Explanation: Bonjour Maryline, "The phrase "speeds and feeds" has sometimes been used metaphorically to refer to the execution details of a plan, which only skilled technicians (as opposed to designers or managers) would know." (4ème paragraphe) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds "In the computer industry, for instance, "speeds and feeds" has no particular meaning, but it is generally used as a blanket term for the features and performance of a microprocessor or a whole computer system. I think many of the people who use this phrase in the computer industry have no idea where it came from or what it means." https://www.cnet.com/news/speeds-and-feeds/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2019-12-17 10:59:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (My second quote, above, is in the very last paragraph on that web page.) |
