No, it's really stricter than that in my experience. You verify your software against the requirements. There shall be no deactivated code, even code which as previously flown before is not safe. See the first Ariane 5 launch for a ref

NASA may be taking a different approach, but in civilian aerospace it is prohibited to have code that doesn't run or doesn't trace to a system requirement. I assume that was their rationale for removing it.

Arizona is a great case where agrovoltaics could really work. Solar reduces the sun load to something reasonable and minimizes evaporation, plants cool the air under the panels. Human / nature infrastructure symbiosis.

The most incredible wonderland for anyone doing electronics. You could spend days digging in there and always find something new and bizzare. Best part was that the building was practically a Faraday cage and there was no cell reception to

That and they're heavily marketed towards their target demographic now instead of being meant for work. It's like a designer handbag for men, except that handbags actually appreciate in value.

Then we should start knocking down the less valuable office space and start putting up new living space.

Affordability is great, but it'll be dictated by supply and demand. If, like contemporary SF, supply is strangled, then nothing will possibly fix affordability.

It's been frustrating to see how the past decades of focus on the office and the suburb have left American cities so vulnerable to this kind of dilemma. There's a simple solution: create a pleasant, walkable downtown that people w

Same experience at EDR. It was a great research platform, but nowhere near ready for the real world. Compute, power, functional safety... The "real" working robots of today are completely different. A successful product from EDR w

I keep all my negatives because they're the physical artifacts of the experience, but they're really blown out of the water by slide film positives. Instead of the color inverse, the slide film holds the honest-to-god image of wha

Once more, this is _exactly_ why Ada has arbitrary precision decimal arithmetic. One merely needs to specify type Result is range -100 .. 100 delta 0.0001; and the compiler will figure out how to give you fast math with only the accuracy an

Wow, this sounds pretty nice. I remember watching a MedCram video recently that pointed out that long wave IR light has anti-inflammatory properties and that modern IR blocking glass is actually depriving people of many of the beneficial ef

I took a look at the press releases and I can't see a lot of information about payloads, but if they're operations were anything like Nova-C (which I worked on), then they generated lots more data on landing than they could downli

Man, that thing keeps chugging! Great news for JAXA, I wonder what additional science they're getting out of it. I know that we would have used any extra time for further downlink. So much data, such little bandwidth!

I'm a little confused - is this just a wrapper around https://alire.ada.dev/ ? That tool itself isn't very hard to install.

I'm rewriting an embedded BIOS for an Intel processor at work and It's been a bit of a clicking point for me about how modern X86 really works. Nothing EFI or the like, but still very instructive. Now if only I could get DCI to wo

At that point it takes such a team that you might as well bring production in house. There's inherent trust in your supplier when you outsource.

A coworker of mine formerly worked on Nvidia's proprietary drivers. They remarked at just how wrong the Nouveau driver was about certain things, including the functionality and reasons for certain registers.

Simple: we have timer counters in the code. This is easier than handling them rolling over.
