But CPU spring connectors don't last forever. If you want to ensure the CPU stays reliable for a good long time (at today's clock rates), you're going to have to solder it down.

The video shows a wipeout around 4:30, just a long slide. The bike wasn't near 85mph though. Sadly, the video is pretty cheesy and content-free. It's hard to recommend.

You're redefining "IoT" to include industrial controls, which have been around for 75+ years.

No protection for `rm -rf file.bak ~`? I'd love to know whoever it was that thought tilde was a good character to use in backup filenames.

That was a hell of an article! Excellent read.

First question: "What is your company name or website?" Pretty sure that guarantees you'll get watered down answers for the rest of the survey... At least, I'm not comfortable associating my company with Ruby advocacy&#

ZFS was originally named the Zettabyte File System. Not sure why Sun changed it. The acronym doesn't mean anything now.

It's definitely more readable. Some of the workarounds less forces upon your code get downright ugly.

> The attitude that hotspots' use of unlicensed spectrum is sacrosanct, while failing to extend that same doctrine to venue owners, just reeks of entitlement. Then it's a good thing nobody here is expressing that attitude! Ever

Don't worry. If common sense and precedent indicate something then there's usually little need for a law.

I think that's true. Here's more support for the idea that the brain actually uses quite a lot of energy: "Although the average adult human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, only 2 percent of total body weight, it demands 20

The Wired video is a good example. It impaired communication, making that situation even more dangerous. (shouting) "Guys, I'm stuck on the highway." "What'd he say?" "Dunno, I think he's panicking.

Absolutely agreed. And it's a bit arbitrary to make favorable assumptions about future ecosystems (as this article does) without a bit more evidence too. Since the colonies are still collapsing without explanation, a modicum of pessim

You can't stop it with money, but you can reduce it with more human labor/management. And money buys human labor. And, even though people are figuring out how to deal with the problem, that doesn't mean that the problem is o

That's not true. Why do you think github promotes forking and pull requests? Some centralization is necessary, true, but you seem to be confusing GitHub with Google Code and SourceForge.

by bronson 11y ago
How about making pull requests less centralized? Right now, if I file a PR, only the project admins or I can modify/rebase it. I'd like to give other (non-admin) collaborators permission to work on it too. Or, maybe it could use

I'm responding to, "there's nothing wrong with not having it clean." Yes, there often is. And I do enforce it on the original pull request.

Depends on the project. If I ran the Linux kernel, I'd insist on clear commits too.

Different screen aspect ratios seem to be an issue? I'm guessing some players can see more of the game board than others.

No, but it demonstrates a neat way to use github. Next time someone asks me to annotate some code, rather than fighting with a word doc or throwing gazillions of comments inline, I'm going to try this out.

Some of these videos are pretty easy... One has a kid thrashing around right in the foreground. I worry that this will have the opposite of the intended effect: "I spotted that kid 5 seconds before the lifeguard, this is easy!"

Then it would be called ext234 now. In another decade it would be called ext2345?
