Almost true. Some versions of the drivers, yes. Other versions, no. I didn't notice this until a few months ago but every now and then I'd have things like external monitors not working or one of them not waking from sleep on its

Right. It's bit packing and unpacking. Currently dealing with a 32 bit system that needs to pack 8 11 bit quantities each subsisting of 3 multi bit values into a 96 bit word. As you can imagine, the assembly is a mess of bit manipulati

Figures 8 and 9 show that both volumetric and thermal efficiency can be improved with nonzero ethanol in the right circumstances. Increasing efficiency metrics, while combining figure 7's showing that you get more power with ethanol, m

But look at figure 8. At 40%, volumetric efficiency is at its peak. It's very important to note that these results are neither monotonic nor linear, so while the public only has access to E85 and E10/E15 (at least where I've

The following link has some charts for just the ethanol. They look about as expected. Some things get better the more ethanol you use, some get diminishing returns, some have an inflection point and get worse, some are just worse as you inc

I like commits like this. Removes unnecessary work, easy to understand optimization, 40 lines gone 32 added so net smaller codebase, which usually means easier to maintain. Has ample comments and even uses one of my favorite tricks to do a

I think there's ambiguity. An app built for a platform that does xyz. Does the app do xyz, the platform, or both? If I build an app that takes you straight to idk a Treasury department website, have I built an app for a platform that t

I mean maybe. We often have weekly customer meetings. One of my programs has 2 customers, we meet with both weekly. So do I put idk 200+ customer meetings? That seems like a weird metric because it's like "compiled code 400 times.

Hmmm disagree on your chain there. Plenty of easy hardware algorithms are hard for software. For example, in hardware (including FPGAs), bit movement/shuffling is borderline trivial if it's constant, while in software you have to

I'm sure it depends on who's teaching the class and what curriculum they follow, but we were doing piecewise linear functions well before differentiation so I think I do actually disagree as per your caveat. It's also possibl

Not sure what kinda calculus you took at least here in the states it's very standard to learn about such functions in class, and yes there is a difference between discontinuous and the slope being really large (though finite) for a bri

Not sure if it's an artifact of their streaming approach but their intro demo has exclamation marks and question marks and the intonation through the sentence just doesn't fit. It's vocalized regularly with only the last word

Just to be clear, some micros (STM32s come to mind) have what they call "on the fly decryption" for external flash. Basically, if the micros wanted to, they would. I think ESP32s are also using qspi flashes but they're integr

Seeing a lot of people confused on why drivers do this. What I was told after it happened to me is that I was getting an Uber at the busiest time of the week (Friday afternoon) and going a few miles (I lived near an airport at the time). Ot

It all feels too little too late. Developers have long since abandoned Windows as a go-to if it ever was one. The amount of projects, even for cross platform languages like Python that basically boil down to run it on Linux only or WSL spea

I guess I should try it before dismissing it, but I would be curious to see if it can accurately detect which things we've found workarounds for that need special attention and whatnot.

Goodness I still can't stand his articles. For me, my understanding of the situation was that everything before maybe Ryzen 2-3000 was like "meh, it's good enough". You can actually see a bump in Q1 2017 when Ryzen first

This is what I wanted to focus on so thanks for starting the convo. This all feels like 100% coverage = perfectly tested, no bugs possible. Nooooo, there needs to be more than that. I lately had a really good readme for a project in a heavy

They came uninitialized, but yeah it could be worthwhile to actually zero and fully format them. They are decently fast at 275 MB/s but even that's 16 hours to do one pass. Maybe let it run over the weekend

When I think of what's out there I think of cheapy ARMs, maybe STM32 knock offs. Honestly the F103C8T6 is so prolific that's probably a solid chunk of all processors in existence. And then things like ESP32s. So to not see ARM or

It's 1 watt per antenna. They have 240, or 53.8 dbm. So assuming 39.3 and your 283 (which seems to be around what I'm seeing online) that's -283+(39.3*2)+53.8=-150.6 dbm receive power. That should be plenty.
