I think the disturbing thing to me is that there wasn't any sort of layered reliability approach to the testing process itself. When you know you're going to be testing changes to a very complex, multi-sensor real-world system, it

Depending on the platform, one can get one to three levels of loaders which have a some range of configuration items (pins/register config) and programmability before you even to 'application' code. (trying to recall if I&#x2

Yes, with an age distribution, one can ask if certain ages tend to be higher rate users of early-gen cell tech, which used much more power.

Well a good starting approximation might be to take a WGS ellipsoid model of the earth and see if their existing coordinates forms something close to a cube. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System

Perhaps MoviePass can make a case to studios or theater chains directly that giving a break to their higher-volume customers might help drive more business overall...

I feel like you get a flavor of this for software by reading the mailing lists in the more mature open source project, you can basically get a continuous flow of analysis and build or rebuild. It's not packaged in a nice episodic repor

If that was the case I think you might consider keeping a career eye on expanding what your concentration is on as a programmer. I have seen newer programmers doing a terrible to very good job on implementation that is coloring within the l

So is Ford taking the next few design cycles for IC sedans and putting them into EVs - sedans or other forms?

It only takes a little bit of battery capacity to shift the duck curve, and is a nice lead into the market ramping up volume to cover more and more capacity and time. It's also an power time-cost arbitration model which is very compre

I may be dating myself, but why would a waze audio ad cause accidents more than a radio ad? There might be logic to make sure the ad doesn't overlap audio navigation guidance, but that seems like a feasible constraint.

Waze ads are an area where I feel an audio ad would be a better approach.

Ha, you have a good point. I think my comment was directed more to "distributed cloud store" applications, much more so than databases. That begs the question - then what capabilities have those apps been focusing on that they did

by digikata 9y ago
I think we're just getting to the point where it may become more common to separate the simpler problem of a single node, non-distributed 'store' with some kv interface below, and then build more complex distributed algorithm

It could be the ads came up a more conventional way - the makers are priming the publicity for the game so it shows up in magazines and ad buys etc. If you and your friends are avid gamers - you probably get some early exposure before more

Nice writeup with coverage of both a discovery and fix. It makes me wonder where the best distribution point to this ends up. The most convenient, but hidden, is that it ends up in some embedded dev kit somewhere. But I suppose it might go
