I use Android with work profile and just turn it off at the end of the day (actually have it automatically scheduled). Definitely took some discipline at first but now I'm really disconnected on days off.

With the USB gadget Driver in Linux you can have the existing USB Hardware enumerate as a USB Ethernet adapter without too much config work so that would not add much to the BoM :)

I second the magic the gathering suggestion, in particular if you go to tournaments. I have met a lot of cool people by preparing a tournament, discussing metagame choices, then spending three days living a shared experience (the tournament

How does it work ? I always kind of assumed you had to be invited to join, that it was not something you can just go to and register ?

Isn't the chat server they talk about for somethin in-app ? Like if your game offers player-to-player chat, or something similar ? I don't think they are talking about tools for software engineers themselves.

This is typically solved using a class of control algorithm called Model Predictive Control which are capable of optimizing for a given cost function (such as using minimal fuel). Search for "fuel optimal rocket landing algorithm"

A lot (most?) incidents in my experience don't come from load but rather through change, be it config change, new releases, flag flip, etc.

The list of small things are for data structure. However, the language is a lot less dynamic than Python: > Since Codon performs static type checking ahead of time, a few of Python's dynamic features are disallowed. For example, mon

Yup. One of my previous work was in a very tiny company where everyone was busy, yet my job was basically this type of performance optimization. The reason ? We were building a real time processing product, and we were not hitting our frame

Blocking them inside Iran is done because US companies are forbidden to do business with Iran, due to economic sanctions. Maybe they can with government approval but why would they try ?

Yes, but support for implementing block devices as part of userland is a feature of the next kernel, if I understand correctly [0], while FUSE that this is using is available right away. [0] https://lwn.net/Articles/903

Chromium does not use Bazel, but GN. I would assume they still build most of their dependencies from source, as this is the way Google tends to setup build systems.

How do you prevent someone from just copying the key to another box though ? I think the key argument for CandyCodes is that they are massively more expensive to copy than to generate for the legitimate producer.

For the third point, couldn't you have some overlap between agents, so that each customer is served by N agents, each agent having a different set of M customers ? It is super expensive as an arrangement though.

I just want to point out that drunk driving also kills innocent bystanders: pedestrians, cyclists, sober drivers around, etc.

At my previous job I had to write a device driver for a (simple) I2C device. I already had experience writing drivers for microcontrollers, but to move to Linux I found it was pretty simple to take the code for an existing device that was s

But in a way you are doing distributed systems; that's what the "with replication" part of your architecture is saying. Now you can choose to never ever test that your replication setup is working, but I think that "dist

In magic the gathering, the standards are divided in three: casual (called regular), competitive and professional. Basically the competitive mode is for people who play the game to win, sometimes with small prizes, but still want a very cle

In competitive gaming, having an actually fair game matters more than having a fair feeling game.

Do you have a reference to a hotplate you like for QFN? I have been considering one because I just don't get good results with hot air, and a reflow oven seems like a bit too much for my use case.

by antoinealb 5y ago
It is already the way you do it for parts like QFN (at least the way I do it): if it works then all good! If it does not, then heat it up again. I heard BGA is actually pretty simple as you cannot apply too much paste, but I don't have

I did not know that the BSD ones are more advanced, thanks for pointing it out. Out of curiosity, are there alternative init systems in the BSD world ?

I know that anecdote is not data, but I had an Arch Linux laptop when the distribution moved from Init scripts (SysV init ?) to systemd, and the boot time was easily cut in three, going from 30s to 10s, on exactly the same laptop. Of course

Even native python is not as slow as people expect. And scientific languages are terribly slow, see for example loops in Matlab, which are terribly slow.

So would you say all things funded through taxation are wrong ? Not trying to be snarky, just wondering if that's the logical conclusion to that axiom.

For me code reviews are falling in two categories: 1. Just pass it by a second pair of eyes to make sure I'm mot doing anything really dumb or nefarious. Here I don't care who reviews it, and in my team the person currently on-cal
