Greg explicitly stated "Because of this, all submissions from this group must be reverted from the kernel tree and will need to be re-reviewed again to determine if they actually are a valid fix....I will be working with some other ker

It's dead common in embedded software, such as avionics. Every task needs a watchdog timer. Basically you 'ping' the timer every so often, which resets it to (say) 1 second (or whatever makes sense for your task) Then it coun

My observation is that sheet music doesn't scroll. I spend most of my time sight reading looking ahead for patterns, for breaks in patterns, accidentals, for chords I have to prepare for, and so on. By the time you have to press the no

I would expect that if you don't tell people what you want they will fail to produce it. I recall a mind reading interview I received once. He described a problem he faced, asked me how he solved it. ?! I explained how I would solve it

Who cares if they are all white 23yo frat bros? who cares if no woman can get hired so long as the company makes hires it likes. Or gay, or Jewish, or whatever busy is in your selection. I'm not asserting there's a specific bias i

At the risk of sounding pompous and self-serving, try my book, I tried really hard to give the plain language explanation, and to build knowledge through intuition and thought experiments. https://github.com/rlabbe/Kalm

The KF update is just computing the Bayesian posterior of a markov chain (with certain constraints). p(state|data) = p(data|state) P(state) / p(data).

You are spot on. I would suspect that everyone that I work with falling this cluster. You could sum us up as a bunch of nerdy engineers, and I don't think anyone would really take exception with that. But it captures almost nothing exc

Driving around your property picking up tree branches or other debris. Backing a boat down a boat ramp. 4 wheeling where you have to hang out the window to see where your tire is. Basically there a lot of off road type situations where you

In the US? Protected classes. This is the idea that some discrimination is so pervasive and damaging that it needs protection from the law, despite the fact that that directly conflicts with the idea that businesses should be able to be run

Not the person you responded to, but I'll take a swing. In many org, you don't just write a JIRA ticket. You write a ticket. It ends up in the backlog. You are in the middle of a sprint. you are not allowed to change the sprint. 2

Speaking for myself? Content. Philip Glass has 27 albums on Pandora, 105 on Spotify. Nico Mulhy? 7 vs 14. Maarja Nuut. Only 1 album on Pandora. For her, Pandora makes no recommendations for others to listen to, Spotify lists 20. Pandora has

Sure it matters. Who doesn't do well due to stress? I think you'll find women, minorities and basically a lot of people outside of the cultural norm/majority do poorly. That's not an argument that you can eliminate test

It's worth pointing out that the question was a pointed response to Job's first answer, where he was asked about Open Doc. Along the way, Jobs said the people complaining to the press hadn't done any meaningful work for the l

Why? Isn't the better question "how would you solve <the actual thing they are being hired to solve>"? I hire people to track objects via computer vision. I ask them "hey, here's a system I want, what approach

I think it goes far beyond that. I'd bet dollars to donuts that you will find both protected and unprotected groups over represented in the false negative pile. Do women have more test anxiety then men? If so, guess what your process i

I chat with people all the time when I'm looking for a creative break out. The idea that it is just going to happen at 10:30am on a daily schedule is baffling to me. I mean, if your team is entirely dysfunctional I can see how doing th

Very few people have that flexibility of mind, in my experience. It is in the manifesto "while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more". I (may) be able to point out you failed here. Agile doe

Are you subtracting 5KG from 7.4? I don't think you should. The tests take the weight into account, given the test subjects are wearing the device. IOW, if the device was weightless we would expect energy decrease corresponding to a 12

Why do you need a signal? You don't care about the temperature until you open your fridge to either consume to toss food, do you? Buy a digital thermometer for ten bucks, one that keeps a record of max/min, toss it in there, look

Great! Please let us know when cancer will be cured. In other words, "I don't know" is sometimes a complete answer. I don't know. Period. This is supposedly one of the main points of this religion (agile). Some things ar

Besides the extensive trade and travel done with what we now call Mexico, there was also a lot of trade, or at least travel, to CA at the time; beads formed from seashells gathered from the CA coast were a common feature of clothing and dai

Define 'better'. I'm not being (entirely) flip. After leaving Chaco they built a few more great houses, but ended up in a more hospitable environment with presumably lower environmental stress. Many different community styles

Yes, just another fanciful element of this article. In general, if you made it past 18, expectancy ranged from 40-50 years. These populations were generally in very high stress - anemia was nearly universal, once farming started stools sho

It's a pretty bad article based on current thinking about Chaco. I have no doubt his guide was pretty good, but I suspect his retention and understanding of what he was told got things scrambled, and then he went off on his own tangent

They absolutely didn't. This is well established. What they did have is signal towers. There are towers throughout the 4 corners regions that enabled communication from (for example) SE Utah (Bears Ears) over to CO (mesa Verde), down t

It's only six paragraphs so you can't hope for much subtlety, but this is very fuzzy thinking. I always stress a hierarchy of Goals, Strategies, Objectives, and Tactics, which is a fundamental and well known way to tackle strategi

This is not supported by the data. All it says is that the very best practices more than the extremely good. There is no evidence that prolonged practice leads to exceptional performance.

You can define alpha/beta in terms of the covariance of the Kalman filter. See my book (linked above) for the derivation (I call it a g-h filter, some literature uses alpha-beta, some g-h, they are the same thing). Eli Brookner in &quo
