Yep, LabVIEW is just a gateway drug for NI hardware. The integration with their hardware stack is top notch (as you would expect) and can go from scratch to sampling a signal _very_ quickly. National Instruments does not make (tons of) mone

Wow, fantastic video, thanks for sharing! Seeing this video, I can't help but feel a bit sad for how far IBM slipped from its former days of glory :( And not only IBM, but also places like Xerox PARC and Bell Labs. We owe _so much_ of

This was the controls lab final project when I was back in college [0] (video is not mine). It was a super cool project. Our task was to tune two PID controllers (one for each motor) to move the "head/pickup tip" to the color

Agreed. Although the number of targets seems excessive tbh, but to each their own.
876.
by elteto 6y ago
But the number of targets is a function of _their_ code, not of using a monorepo, no? If you need to build N libraries and M executables then you are going to have N+M targets (assuming building for one arch only) whether you use a monorepo

The rope scene always bothers me. Why are the ropes and the strap taut after the first snap? What’s pushing him away? It sure isn’t wind! And there is no rotation either. [0] https://youtu.be/DYDaIyfitn8

This turned out to be the case for me as well. I’m close to the water and not being able to fly over it was a huge let down for me.

I wanted to get into flying quads but came away confused by the licensing requirements. If I want to fly something heavier than 250g, with goggles, what kind of FCC license do I need?

Can you expand on this? So each worker gets its own REST endpoint to pull from? Because if all workers pull from a single endpoint then that endpoint is a queue, no?

I never claimed it was the _only_ reason, but it is certainly one of them. Even if you wanted to make F9 out of steel (for whatever reason) you still couldn't do it with Merlins in an economically feasible way. This is a simple fractio

You have to remember that Starship is not going orbital any time soon, this is all for testing and development. I can guarantee you that the final version of Starship will not be manufactured so haphazardly as these ones. And they’ve alread

But the scale is much, much smaller than Starship. If I understand correctly after you pass a certain tank radius you basically step into “nobody’s ever done this with CF before”, which is not a good place to be for SpaceX. Starship was on

Merlins are much, much less powerful than Raptors. Your payload capacity would be severely diminished which translates directly to lost revenue. With Starship there is no urge to make money with it yet, they can afford to be somewhat ineffi

Elon is all about tight, quick iterations on design and testing: “if it takes long is wrong” is an actual quote from him regarding Starship. With carbon fiber you get a lot of theoretical nice-to-haves, but you can’t iterate quickly with it

Glad to see smaller publications putting out good journalism and being recognized. High quality reporting is, still, one of the most effective ways to speak truth to power. Unfortunately the internet has decimated smaller journals and local

What would be some good graduate programs (I'm thinking Master's level) in the US that specialize in time series modeling and forecasting? Any available online?

In your example, after the market maker posts the BUY 10 @ 100.0, your book is: SELLING 100 shares @ $10.02 SELLING 200 shares @ $10.01 SELLING 100 shares @ $10.00 <-- BUYING 100 shares @ $10.00 <-- BUYING 100

Wait, forgive my ignorance, isn’t this the default? If you don’t care about the memory layout then won’t the compiler reorg / pad structure members to fulfill alignment?

I've been watching some Dishonored 2 and Prey gameplay videos based on the recommendation and they look great! Will definitely try them.

I have played Dishonored quite a bit too! Just never to completion :) I think Dishonored has some of the best gameplay mechanics ever and it is also really immersive. Prey I've never played, but I'll check it out. Ty!

I've never been an avid gamer, more of a casual one, but I am so glad I played Deus Ex: Human Revolutions all the way through. It didn't feel like a game, more like experiencing an interactive sci-fi book. The story, the settings,

Yes, they were. Their military products actually competed in a "free market": they had strong competition from the US, NATO countries, China, etc. Ironically, this free market competition is what made Soviet weapons as good as the

I would comfortably pay up to twice that amount if the content is high quality.
