I have in the past been subadvisor to various bacc. theses. I value conciseness dearly, and prefer quality over quantity in scientific writing, i.e. I would accept incredibly short theses, if the content is sufficiently presented (reproduci

Any RTOS has the very same hardware restrictions, and often only works on a very small number of (certified/supported) platforms. There is no reason per se to attribute any downsides onto these "filters".

Especially considering that the engineer was partially blaming Bosch as a supplier that made these processes necessary. Bosch supplies VW (includes Audi, Seat, Skoda, ...) and various other large incumbents, as one of the biggest car manufa

Any substantiated argument why using Linux "is a huge accident waiting to happen"? Did you know that Linux can handle hard RT, if you use the right hardware (and maybe the right kernel/patches).?

Link to the text only version: https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=629871725 I still think NPR should consider redirecting to the requested article. Can't be that hard, can it?

Having listened to the above youtube video, I think resemblance to allemanic might be coincidental, as it is so often. Judging from the pronunciation, I would also put some "idioms" of this dialect in Dutch/Flemish regions (t

I agree, I have no idea how to pronounce the words unfortunately, but lots of it resembles bavarian, or even allemanic dialect. E.g. "s’błimła (‘flower’)" - "s'Blüamle" (allemanic) Obviously this comparison would be

Now I wonder if the warning suggested by Linus in the linked mail was ever implemented. Did also not know git would not even complain. Does anyone know? (Am on phone, slightly difficult to check).

I realize this is returning because of the current events, just for reference, (some of the) previous discussions on HN: [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15752725 ] [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

I sometimes wish the USA would have learned the same lessons from WWII as e.g. Germany did: See, if your military or government is killing people, and you work for them, assist them, or let them, you are also killing people. We have a say

The problem is your "smart enough agent" and how to obtain one. There is something in the middle between your pairs of eyes and your decision making that makes you understand what is actually going on around you: perception/c

I think the parent was talking about so far vendor-specific solutions for 802.11. 802.15.4, meant for low-rate, low-power applications, is something completely different. This standard doesn't even compare remotely, regarding applica

Hm, you are conflating a few things there. Bluetooth "scatternets" were first of all never standardized, AFAIK, but had to be implemented in the application layer, which led to vast incompatibilities. Bluetooth profiles, and vendo

There is no production car with "self driving system" available right now. There are just "assistants", and they can't and should not drive on their own.

Oh, you were talking about pre-80ies french cars... Yeah, I remember my dad telling me those were known to rust almost immediately, and they apparently (to his perception, based on the cars we owned) not only got their act together, but exc

I have to disagree, even though my knowledge is anecdotal. All our Citroen cars NEVER showed any sign of rust. Our BX was 15 years old, when the hydro-pneumatic system fell apart. Citroen are known for excellent attention to corrosion prote

I disagree. Consider the absurd example where every single statement is crammed into a single line. Not exactly readable to me? Sometimes more verbose code is more readable, and sometimes it is the presentation, and sometimes this is "

I don't think so. The employer has all the rights to look at company emails, there is no right to privacy when using the company's email addresses. There are quite recent verdicts in Germany IIRC, considering if it was unlawful te

There have been already quite a few people pointing out that the process you describe is legal. Yes, that might be true. People are not arguing against that. IANAL, but it still seems as if they are attempting to manipulate the market for

You are right, it is a mind game, IMO just not as far fetched as you paint it. I think what GP is aiming at is this: If you think you are a worse person (whatever that means) than you could be, be it from your or any other persons' p

For whoever was wondering who this provider is: according to whois-nslookup-mxtoolbox_arin_lookup, the server hosting infoteam.ch is provided by metanet (metanet.ch) Not trying to ruin their business, but they should consider handling issu

Maybe I got you wrong, but infoteam.ch are the guys who wrote the blog-post, so your link is to their product they are describing, and not one by the provider? How does that again explain the angry response? AFAIK there is no mention or

Nobody, you got that all wrong. 802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN are established, quite mature standards. HomeKit is the (proprietary) challenger, that adds nothing but an ecosystem for Apple to profit from
