Got to give the guy his due though: the average capitalist bastard couldn’t literally sell a promise like that and hold it off for half a decade yet still maintain a rabid fanbase stating it’ll be any minute now and shooting down any dissid

I think full self driving is the same distance away as cold fusion.

RBW is fixed at 1.75MHz on the HackRF. But it's the measurement setup as a whole (that is the measurement receiver). The noise floor of this measurement is represented by the visible noise floor at -70dBm. That's a combination of

The noise floor of the measurement receiver is terrible though so you really don’t know what the true performance is here.

You don’t build RF signal generators. You buy them. That’s pretty much it. You don’t have the money or engineering ability to build one at home with any reasonable performance characteristics. A 30 year old Marconi or HP crate will set you

Actually they’re $1750 for the module which is quite affordable if your hobby is timenuttery. http://www.leapsecond.com/

God no they are a shit show. Having been an EE years ago I stopped reading any journals and research. 99.9% of it is garbage which is engineered to sell attention rather than a better future. Anything worth giving attention to turns up in E

The answer is there is low ROI on quality and businesses are hyper optimised for ROI. Only when the customers lose their shit publicly it affects ROI and quality will improve. We got into a situation where people are so disempowered by desi

The thing that gets me with the success stories is the issue with risks and planning for success only. When you’re driving in the colder parts of Europe it’s generally advisable to keep your tank at least 50% full all the time. If the shit

What is everyone gyrating around at the moment? I haven’t touched front end for about a decade. It was jquery back then.

Please also add ”doesn’t auto close three million ignored GitHub tickets” every week, the true quality metric these days.

A big part of the population are complete morons. They have access to guns. Mental visualisation of the resulting Venn diagram should explain the result. A former acquaintance of mine is an example of the moron. He had an outbuilding on his

Yes. At least you can get the same noise figure measurement gear for a couple of orders less magnitude expense now though :)

Ah yes seen that as well. Don’t criticise the process or you will be eliminated. I self eliminated and went and worked for a web design startup who’s process involved being drunk and winging it and it was more effective.

Oh god. Kill me with a spoon. I’d buried those meetings in a secret space in my mind along with all the other horrible things that happened in my life.

It’s not time critical until someone told you it needs to be time critical i.e the manufacturer tries to bundle shitty IoT features on every damn thing because the manufacturer next door is doing it and then piles on the marketing. No one n

Yes that’s true. There are better ways to solve all the problems that spreadsheets solve but no one way of solving them all in one place as badly that’s quite as good :) That hurt to write.

For my professional stuff I’ve actually dumped O365 and Google. I’m using Apple stuff only (pages, numbers, keynote, mail, calendar, reminders, icloud). It’s completely different to anything else and there are a few small compatibility issu

They’re pretty much doing this with MCUs and power at the moment apparently. Designs are moving to modular so you can respin a carrier board for the available stock rapidly rather than have to respin the entire product and stock.

I think in retrospect you can use the former eastern bloc as a metric for how this can go. They built a whole semiconductor industry from scratch and were never financially competitive. Parts were significantly more expensive and generally

That was incredibly attractive to me when I was a kid. Then when I was an adult I worked with some engineers who were hams and suddenly found I could afford the radio kit so I got a license. Almost immediately found out it was all racist ol

This is worrying really. Back when I used to work as an engineer consuming parts it wasn’t unusual for some parts to disappear entirely with no notice. This usually turned out to be some legacy piece of equipment that broke at the manufactu

I wouldn’t offend kubernetes with that association :)

by hughrr 5y ago
The issue is the question here which is probably invalid. Cryptocurrency is designed for general use. Kubernetes is designed to abstract specific problems away for specialists.

The problem with crypto is despite your explanation, I have no idea what any of your post means. Not any of it.

Try running big instances in containers. Our smallest is 32 cores and 1TB of RAM.

This is an all time favourite. Also ported from Flash at some point!

It’s a database engine not a microservice and needs to be treated along the lines of postgresql etc.

Yeah that’s only unused until you need it at which point it doesn’t involve futzing with anything. One of the things that kills me is running fluentd because you have to fuck around with ruby gems in containers every two minutes to get it t
