Yes… for the space shuttle. But where is what on this for Artemis II? Especially if it has more heat shield failure modes that are not immediately deathly, the whole consideration becomes non-obvious. Is it possible the astronauts will ar

I'm not super happy with the pattern of thinking in these numbers; arguing 1/100000 vs 1/100 for "accidents" is again a boolean thing. They probably had a very specific definition, which does make this viable, but w

TFA is ridiculous with its stance. Yeah, there's this aspect of the design they can't test in their labs. It might even be an important aspect. But safety isn't a boolean "safe"/"not safe", it's

Content nonwithstanding, announcing rule changes like this with immediately taking effect is just shoddy practice. At least give travellers a few weeks of heads-up.

CERN in fact does design custom ASICs for other things: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1115079/contributions/4693643/a... (Probably not for this here though.)

So your approach instead is...?

Yeah, it used to be that you could still make calls (particularly to emergency services) even in complete power outages, for as long as your local exchange has batteries for. (AFAIR that tended to be on the order of hours, but probably dif

I'm just surprised that either input isolation isn't on your spec, or it still somehow works out better with isolated to +48V than straight to 12V... but I guess if your spec requires other things, it makes sense. (Thanks for the

This doesn't really have anything to do with async signal safety. You could perfectly fine capture the Ctrl+C in psql, stick a notifier byte in a pipe (or use signalfd to begin with) and handle it as a synchronous event in a main loop

That's a nice quip, but what does it mean in this case? If you remove "insecure" or "dangerous" features that people actually need from software, what you achieve is people using other software, and thus you have fa

Huh. The "security" preventing me from doing things I want to do is a major reason I dislike Wayland :/. (e.g. automation & scripting / input events, clipboard, ...) It also has noticeable mouse lag for me, I really

I'm seeing variable speed signs displaying 40 km/h during non rush hour daytime on "normal" streets, and some 60 on main thoroughfares. Honestly if they honked a bit less that might make a large difference too...

I really wouldn't call it sleepwalking when it's the result of a lot of lobbying and deeply ingrained mis-views of politics ("conservatives are good with the economy").

Quagga is fully dead. And neither of these is appropriate for SCION since it replaces much more of the Internet.
