Surely if you have an "experimental reactor" you build BIGGER containment structures?

well the whole point of trying to produce color corrected monitors was to avoid the whole process of printing things out and looking at them in white rooms as desktop publishing started to become a thing - high end publishers were (are?) ve

I've visited Nagasaki - it does seem like a poor choice - the city is a series of valleys - they shielded much of the city from the bomb. Ground zero was the largest Christian cathedral in the Far East, closest war related govt facilit

Back in the early 90s I worked for a Mac company that made graphics cards for the publishing industry - color correction was a big deal (print magazines have/had 'white rooms' rooms with known color temperature where they loo

but they're going over the same peripheral bus (from the CPU, and being synchronised to a subsystem with likely the same ADC clock domain - I'd design that hardware once (metastability stuff is notorious for being hard to get righ

by Taniwha 4y ago
I think it's more likely that the data needs to cross a clock boundary and multi-clock synchronisation takes time (especially if metastability is potentially an issue) - they way you make it safe is by holding the data you're sync

So you're arguing that they're using the camo to hide within the airforce?

I think that seeing 'Space Force' going around in camo is even more asinine ....

essentially yes - the video channels and the docsis channels are distinct - and your street or close neighborhood may share the same docsis (and on-demand TV) while you city might share the same broadcast channels. The document refers to &q

One of these cases is a class action on behalf of people who have been wrongly arrested because of spotshotter - the case is also trying to get the police to stop using it because of this - if it's wrong most of the time police do not

I love how the researchers are shorting the stock - they're not insiders because the data is public available for anyone (with the requisite very domain specific knowledge) to see. There a whole lot of the sorts of investor who are nor

I teach kids how to solder at the local Makerspace, I start with SMT first because it's easier - through hole requires more skill and you have to be more aware of heat management to do it well. We stockpile old proto boards that were n

Even with out of order scheduling there's still use from instruction scheduling - move those loads as far forward in the instruction stream as you can - a CPU can't execute instructions out of order if it hasn't decoded them

there's more to it than that - lots of phone/phone systems have built algorithms tell them how long a phone number is, and place a call once you've hit that length - for example "911" has a length - one thing that&#

There is a similar effect for bitumen roads - cities choose a grade of bitumen for the range of temps that they are going experience - you're stuck between it all getting too sticky and cracking in the cold - too big a range and they m

if you have to wait on a mutex to get access to shared resource (like the book keeping inside your malloc's heap) then you have to wait in order to make progress - and if the thread that's holding it is at a lower priority and is

it's what you use to pass by reference ..... but algol supports pass-by-name semantics (of which pass by reference is an optimisable subset) - to do fill pass by name (for a simple example a[i] where i is a global) the compiler will cr

Presumably the addresses for this is configurable right? Some systems put DRAM at 0. If a system has a fixed address it's probably best to describe in the spec how to discover it in the device tree
