This is very interesting. I'm wondering why not print the blanks with a gap at the bottom so there's room to insert a lock-pick tension wrench to apply the torque instead of using the keyhead. That way the torque capacity of the p

Ha! if only that were true... Maybe at a real modern "software" company. But there are plenty of places where 50% of their so-called software engineers couldn't write a simple program from scratch. In fact, as I think about t

Awesome to read. Really great job Tim Patterson. Maybe someday I'll build an S-100 machine - seems like an elegant architecture.

Wow, it's a full hour presentation but time very well spent would be an understatement! This issue has been covered before, but only the rough outline compared to this talk. Great job guys! We all need a lot more like you.

it's actually an excellent sentiment. it's futile to just keep inventing new euphemisms every time someone is offended. people get old, it's a fact, it's the way it is. ageism isn't about what it's called or

i was ready to pooh-pooh this, but it makes a point. but i'm probably less conservative than the author: - yeah, probably not wife or parents i guess - otherwise, hell yeah! (kids, siblings, friends, etc. FINE!) in fact, p

exactly right! lfs is " kinda okay? " at best. i just wish binary support was just part of git natively. honestly keeping the large binaries as loose objects would be fine except for performance. which should be something that cou

I have worked with both vxWorks and Integrity, both DO-178 and "standard" version. Both products, both vendors, are absolute garbage. But the certified ones are actually worse because they are frozen. As far as the "semblance

so the problem with "DO-178" OS like vxWorks or ghs is that it's not DO-178. it's a version of the OS that has artifacts to support getting your produce DO-178 certified using it. It's DO-178 "certifiable"
