You can wire up a microcontroller to push the button as part of your CI/CD.

There are very low cost devices such as those Allwinner or Mediatek produce that are more popular in non-US, non-EU markets that do not have the barriers you are describing.

People do this all the time with routers. The FCC has been trying to require firmware signing but it has been pushed off for now because there is very little demonstrable harm. I can go buy a bunch of passives off of ebay and make a noisy o

The MT6737 is a chip that works as I have described. The baseband is fully accessible. Even for other more common chips, like the Qualcomm ones, the AT command set is actually synthesized with shared memory as I detailed. These coprocessors

This is not always true. There are chips where the radio DSP cores have their program loaded into main memory and it's unsigned. You talk to them with mutexes and shared memory pages. There is also no legal basis for requiring radio co

It doesn't matter what you or I think, it matters what other people think, and yes, compatibility with their existing infrastructure is something that is highly desirable. From my other comment: The people here are not really painting

I'm not a fan of C++. I'm a fan of Erlang and the OTP. The entire reason I became interested in Erlang was fault tolerance. I have no idea why I'm getting downvoted, exactly what I have said was said later, above, and is more

Usually when I see a story like that it goes the other way. The friction of integrating ${nice_thing} with ${everything_else}. I'll take your word for it for now, but it seems like your honeymoon period with FP-heavy programming just c

Solution is to relax hiring requirements. The strength of the languages is what they do inherent to themselves due to their VM and standard library. You need people who know how to use them directing the effort, but once the design is there

Erlang/Elixir were designed for telecommunication programs. If what you are doing is even vaguely like this Erlang/Elixir are going to be perhaps the best language you could pick. If you need to make a GUI or handle a CRUD app it

Be careful when you do this. It is easy to want to change a question you can't answer into one that you can, but you really have no idea what the original poster was asking. I had a question changed into something extremely idiotic by

While I understand your concern your viewpoint is naive. Civil engineering is a relatively close knit field (as are many fields). Possibility for kickbacks is definitely there. Something that has really put me off of license requirements is

Seems fairly normal from what I can tell. Issues like needing everything to be vetted my a mechanical/civil/electrical engineer, depending on what it is, and not being able to machine your own parts and needing to let the universi

I've seen papers that evaluate the behavior of cyclists and see that when they do break the law (e.g. not stopping at a stop sign) they actually do so to increase their safety. Less time in an intersection means less chance to get hit.

Not sure this is normal. Have heard stories of physics department needing to contract to the engineer's union, and people getting in trouble for screwing together a wooden box.

Yes, but you're handwaving away the complexity of actually doing it. The article, to me, seems to be approaching this from a "earth shattering revelation" viewpoint where people think we can fix systemic issues we have suffer

Abysmal. A current design you can see is the tritium nuclear battery. I misspoke, it is beta particles that generate the photons. The reaction produces nanowatts. If you remake this system with quantum dots and layered materials it is actua

How are you going to transport materials more cheaply? I work in manufacturing and a large part of the ultimate bill is S&H. We need to pass that onto our customers. Shipping is bearable outside of the US but as soon as you enter into t

Oof. I'm starting to think there's a bit of old Intel CPU stock they want to make unsaleable.

Is there any justification for the cutoff? It might be possible to just patch out the cpuid check and have the OS run. If it's boot attestation someone will do it. This is probably to force enterprise vendors to move to devices that be

There was a cadre of Chinese students who were educated abroad to be diplomats. The program was scrapped when it was found the students wound up pro-democracy. They do something else now, but it is not clear if it works. Party loyalty enfor

I tried to price them out. They definitely save on labor but they are not particularly cheap. Depending on area your codes may not permit them and/or your local PEs may not want to sign off on them, even though they're fine. (This

The thermal mass of your house is part of the perceived insulation. In the desert especially nights are cold, the house chills, and retains that chill throughout the day, keeping it cool inside.

This is exactly what I"m talking about, usually I have to have Visual Studio generate a project file and see what it did. Using XML as a general purpose programming language is also very ick.

FP is also just not as suitable for solving many common CRUD problems as an OOP or imperative design is. A FP solution will be some combination of more verbose, slower, harder to maintain, and less flexible.

I never implied it was a fast problem, nor did I make two statements.
