I know it's unusual, but in this case I thought it was justified because the original BSD CVS link offers little context of what's going on unless you parse the changelog, whereas the lobster thread has a good summary by jcs.

OpenBSD has started a massive strip-down and cleanup of OpenSSL(lobste.rs)

If you folks have used this technique for years as I believe it has been stated, any particular reason why it wasn't contributed back to OpenSSL earlier?

Well you've probably learned and improved in the six months since you last applied, so maybe it's a good time to try again? From what you've posted, a Dev Bootcamp seems like it could be just what you need to get over the hum

I'm surprised that those engines have fast enough delta-input to delta-thrust response to make it reasonably responsive?

Forgot to say, great post! :)

Also, it's not as widely known as the FFT, but if you know roughly the frequency of interest you can use the Goertzel algorithm to calculate a chosen number of bins around that specific freq and then pick the max of them to find the fr

Exactly, I believe they were designed for instrumentation amplifier duty, hence the wide bandwidth and low noise.

I've always been curious why C was designed this way, was it thought to offer any advantages or just done to make the compiler writer's job easier?

FYI, in MATLAB you'd only need to use .* in the last of your three cases.

Well the term 'best' is touchy, but for your use case I'd suggest trying SVN using something like VisualSVN Server and TortoiseSVN for the client(s). Simple to set up, understand and use.

Are the servers on any sort of UPS to enable graceful shutdown if power goes out?

by Serow225 13y ago
Another thing I just thought of is a health monitoring suite for your servers/network. Also starting to move towards virtualized servers makes dealing with both failed hardware and testing/rollout/rollback easier.

Definitely set up revision control ASAP.

Sounds like you're off to a good start! :) Getting everything backed up soon is important; if things were implemented marginally, you don't know how long it will run before something crashes or hardware dies. Without a backup, you

Take this with a grain of salt because it's been a while since I've done telecom/telemetry stuff, but even with a Manchester-encoded signal, one of the first steps in the demodulation process is clock recovery from the signal

Does anyone have recommendations for affordable ( < $300? ) multi-function printer manufacturer/models that don't suck? Good driver support on OSX is a bonus. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I realized that it would make a lot more sense this way, right after I posted my message.

Exactly, although this is all completely conjecture :)

I'm curious about that too, it seems very unlikely that the actual digitized RF waveform was available for analysis. My guess, based on working with somewhat similar systems in the past, is that the ping packet content was also tagged

Understood :) As a fun note, i just remembered that the emergency FADEC power on the turbine engines is provided by a tiny hydro generator powered by the fuel flow itself, so it can run in case of total electrical failure. The throttle pos

For FADECs on single engine piston planes, in addition to being powered by either alternator automatically, there's usually a dedicated FADEC emergency battery good enough for 1+ hours of engine runtime.

by Serow225 13y ago
Well the new jet has dual FADECs, so you can solve your problem by buying one of them :) I think that for the piston plane market, it's more of a cost/value ratio issue - would you (and customers in general) be willing to pay an e

I worked for a while in the Flight Test department at Cirrus Aircraft, the manufacturer who is probably best known for these systems (all planes they manufacture come with them). The picture on the right side of the Wikipedia page is of one

Every consultancy/consultant/project is different, but it's unlikely that they sat down with the code at 10AM and sent the report out at 8PM. It's not uncommon for there to be some unbilled hours, for instance if the con
