The RP2040 is a great platform IMO to explore this with both because it’s very cheap for a microcontroller of its tier, it has some interesting features like dual core not typically found on microcontrollers, and the programmable IO means t

Respect isn’t the issue, having the proper finding to offer a high quality service is.

Everyone should really be copying Hong Kong, where subways are the main method of transportation for most people, not just poor people and they’re phenomenal.

I agree, I linked some stuff in my response to the other comment

One interesting read from a purely software side is the JPL C standards, which are an extension of software standards for things like Mars rovers that cannot not work. There’s a summary on page 4 if you don’t want to read the whole thing h

Yep they should definitely review their procedures so this doesn’t happen again

The software is much simpler on Voyager so there’s not a lot to go wrong and there are a shitload of failsafes that have to go wrong before the vehicle stops working. For example on some stuff I’ve worked on and the Mars rovers there are mu

It’s possible to update the Voyager FSW?

Also basic stuff like multi theading, 64 bit, etc.

I work on spacecraft flight software and I was never worried about this lol The worst that could have happened is that the spacecraft would have kept the dish in the wrong position until October, at which point it would have re established

Someone had a phone number set up a while back that routed into ChatGPT that worked decently well.

It’s also possible they fixed the bug in some other way that didn’t involve touching GNU Units, like using a different conversion program only for requests that could trigger the big.

What does VR let you do that you can’t do with a regular computer or TV? At the moment the answer is “not much” other than entertainment. When that changes and you can convince your grandma who doesn’t use much technology why she needs a VR

The benefit of wheels is that they’re platform specific so that you don’t need to have a lengthy and dependency ridden compile process, you just install the one that works on your OS and architecture and you’re good. Packages written entire

That doesn’t make sense either because pure python packages exist and are actively less useful if distributed as wheels

You’re reading too much into it. I mean both cars in the past and ones that currently exist, basically every car I’ve been in with automatic locks had a manual release, even ones from 20 years ago. The release has gotten less prominent with

Most automatic door cars have a manual release

A small amount due to how far away it is so it can observe extrasolar space. Not very well since a lot of the instruments don’t work but still useful information.

Don’t get me wrong being a gender studies major or something without a clear career path to a well paying job when you leave college is stupid but there is a college version of every trade that does cooler shit and gets paid far more. Why f

by Shawnj2 3y ago
I feel like these memes completely ignore the fact that being an engineer exists as a career and is basically the trades job but for far more pay and with more thinking involved.

by Shawnj2 3y ago
If you pay people enough you can get them to do nearly anything and there is currently a job shortage.

The “lower tech” version is probably more efficient as well lol since regen braking isn’t very energy efficient

Yes you can use other rewards programs to get frequent flyer points but you could also get dollars instead if you wanted

by Shawnj2 3y ago
You can generally only get frequently flyer points by flying on an airline, and even then airlines sometimes sell points for money and it’s always a bad deal.

The funny thing is that this policy is one of the few things keeping WebKit alive, if not Chromium would become the only usable browser engine (and Firefox but people would probably stop supporting it if it was the only alternative browser)

You’re right, but using single use plastic and manufacturing products forever that will end up in landfills won’t work, you’ll eventually end up as the planet in Wall-E. We need to invest in renewable energy and reducing the amount of waste

Imperial Japan was pretty much fanatically supportive of war. I’m not saying the bombings were justified but the war would have been a lot longer without it and would have almost certainly been a lot deadlier on both sides.
