Disclaimer: I'm one of the managing directors at Ferrous Systems, so biased. The FLS was written with that specific intend in mind, but that mostly limits the scope of the spec that Ferrous Systems is/was interested in maintaining

Thing is that people are entitled to have different opinions and we can argue about those all day. But people are not entitled to different facts, and if someone pretends 2+2=5, then there's very little arguing about that. It's no

I don't see what updates you expect on CISA guidance because the very documents you reference already acknowledge that rewriting all code is not a viable strategy in the general case and that other options for improvement exist For exa

I don’t think this portrait is any more or less priceless than the Crown Jewels. After all, the Crown Jewels are only a bunch of precious materials that an artist put together and have been associated with importance and uniqueness by (west

The Germans. Hmm. So this was about the Green Party, not about the Germans. But still, I’ll bite. The Green Party is anti-nuclear and it’s debatable whether that’s positive or not. But they also are staunchly anti-coal and other carbon base

So you're essentially saying: "I don't believe people should try to be nice to each other even in places where it essentially comes for free." I get it, it's impossible to do the right thing all of the time. It&#x27

You can’t plan for all failure modes. Weird shit happens and it needs human intervention to figure out what went wrong. Sometimes someone needs to assess what path forward is the lowest (financial) harm and weigh the options. No computer sh

The problem with h2 compared to electricity is that it has abysmal round trip efficiency. It makes sense for a few, limited use cases and an excavator may be one of them - if they’re used in places where no electric grid is available. In al

Public transport is already largely cheaper than owning a car in many places, yet people drive. One good example to study is Germanys 50 EUR Ticket - now 58 EUR. It's a flat rate for all of Germanys public transport, including regional

2000 people per hour is really not that much. And reducing density will not buy you much - density itself doesn't mean anything. If you have a suburb with 50 000 people living there and an office park with 25 000 people working there (

Why ask for 15/30? My schedule right next door for the Berlin subway is 3/10. During peak hours, you don’t even check when the next train runs. And they’re all full. I do believe Boston has more inhabitants than this small city.

The problem is that throughput per lane of cars is very limited in comparison to everything else. A single car line can transport about 2000 persons per hour. A single bus lane about 9000, a single bike lane 14000 - if you dedicate the spac

They are aiming for SIL 2 which to the best of my knowledge requires no MC/DC coverage. MC/DC support in rustc is being worked on, but I would not expect the required features to land before end of 2025 or even mid 2026.

Dependencies. Hard topic. The question is less about the numbers, but rather in the amount of code you pull in. In the end, every line needs to be certified. The team that wrote sudo-rs blogged about their approach here https://w

Geostationary is only possible on very specific orbits - over the equator on one height. Any other orbit cannot be geostationary.

So the cost for the basic level (quality managed, one target architecture) are pretty low - about 240 EUR/human per year. CI runners are free. Certification material is billed separately to allow speculative and experimental usage. You
