The JVM concurrent GC has failure conditions. It does as much as possible concurrently but still occasionally has to stop the world.

More cameras still doesn't fix the interaction with ambient light and LIDAR units like the ones produced by Velodyne or Ibeo have ranges out to 200m[1] Again, I think they both have their uses. If LIDAR can be made not so complicated a

by dljsjr 9y ago
While LIDAR and stereo cameras (as well as RGBD depth cameras like Kinect) both effectively do the same thing, LIDAR typically has a much longer effective range while keeping high resolution. To give you an example, this[1] commercially ava

Thanks for taking the time to look at this Steve! I'm not super familiar with threading in Rust, I was just going off comments made in the RFC and what little research I had done at the time I started looking in to it. This was all a f

From my understanding (and also mentioned by someone in the comments on the RFC I linked), while you can do things to the threads by just directly calling through to C, what you end up with is a thread that doesn't have all of the Rust

Well for one, that crate's first commit is from September from this year so it's quite new and I didn't know about it. That's the sort of information I was looking for with my question. Secondly, though, while it handles

How do you handle real-time thread priorities and CPU affinity? I work in soft real-time software as well (feedback control for humanoid robots) and I've been wanting to play around with Rust for real-time programming for a while. Give

There's a good chance this is true: I'm going off what I was told, which being that I was at a government contractor was probably largely FUD because they didn't want me doing anything that would jeopardize their business (I

I'm not sure that this is completely tin-foil hat worthy. I was working at a defense contractor in 2010 when the big leak of all the cables occurred, and was forced to learn a lot of things I wouldn't have otherwise, including som

I believe, and I could be wrong here, that previously IFTTT simply consumed public APIs to cobble things together. They are now asking services that want to be IFTTT-able to expose an API that IFTTT defines. IFTTT will still be hitting endp

This is all more or less correct… just a few things to add (I'm on Team IHMC Robotics) :) 1. It's highly unlikely that this version of Atlas can get up from a fall under its own power, at least not expediently; it weighs much mo

Hard, Firm, and Soft real-time are all classifications in real-time computing. They are measurements of how detrimental it is to the system if they miss a deadline. Control systems can still be soft real-time.

I don't really know of any good general resources; they're often pegged to a specific programming language because the ways in which you have to achieve real-time compatibility differ depending on how the language and its runtime

Correct, JSF as in Joint Strike Fighter. Those coding standards are frequently trotted out as a case study similar to the NASA coding standards.

Whenever somebody does an analysis of coding standards like this (see also the JSF coding standards) they always lock in on how these rules are written to enforce "correctness", but they frequently gloss over an extremely importan

The Kinesis Advantage is an unknown form factor, I don't know if it would give me the relief that the split-wave form factor does. If I tried a Kinesis and liked it, then yes I would buy it in a heart beat.
