The check engine light is only for emissions related failures which is why in most cases the car is still driveable. In serious cases like this most cars will flash the CEL but AFAIK that is not legally required. The whole point of the CE

Companies have internal "accelerator" programs that they keep quiet about. In Microsoft it's the High Potential bit and the bench program. Others have very similar ones. If you are in one of those programs doors will be op

If there weren’t already 500 of them manufactured that would be feasible. Assuming it could still be adjusted fast enough (which I don’t know).

With KeyDB I keep my todo list in my head. Once in a while I’ll go scour github issues or feature requests. So far no other tools have been necessary. I think when things are small adding too much tooling or process is counterproductive.

$25 is hugely expensive. This is an industry that removes $0.02 bypass capacitors by trial and error to save a few pennies.

The point is the LDO's capacitance or lack there of has no bearing on whether decoupling capacitors are required. Understanding that the capacitor and the trace form an RC circuit and that distance matters is what separates a professio

They have a network effect. If a car is not available or I have to wait too long then I will consider some other option. The number of cars available is a function of the number of users.

The #1 trait is they will dig until they fully understand the problem. When writing code if the first draft Is not good they will rearchitect until it makes cohesive sense. Time spent getting it right the first time saves significantly more

This is very much specific to NT's implementation. Originally they did the right thing and put it in userspace. Performance made them rethink that in NT 4. The NT story is most relevant since the vulnerable version in this story is

The only thing that gives me pause is the government does have this right with regards to vessels on water. They've had it since the beginning of the USA as a country. This meant mail or anything else carried by these vessels was fair

Decoupling capacitors need to be within a few mm of the integrated circuit consuming the power. It really doesn't matter if the voltage regulator has them or not. This is different than for bulk capacitors, but even those should still

As someone who is using WSL2 and had used Cygwin in the past, WSL2 is awesome and way better than the original WSL. I highly recommend you give it a shot. It may be a less pure design, but it solves my needs better than anything else out t

Yup but that is a bug not the intended design. The intended design is kernel memory is mapped but not accessible. GDI just makes this much more difficult because of its history. FWIW most data in GDI objects is non critical. It doesn’t real

If you are talking about mapping kernel address space into userland Linux does that too (or at least did until Spectre). It's a performance win because you don't need to flush the TLB on every syscall. You can't normally ac

Siri decoded to give me the number for Lead(II) nitrate. Neat. Still my point stands its not normal to hit that with simple resistive heaters like those in an e-cigarette.

by jdsully 7y ago
Lead still doesn’t melt that easily. 470 celcius is really hot. You might be thinking of solder which is easily melted by resistive heating. But that is because its alloyed with Tin and the combination has a much lower melting point than ei

The startup economy is all about forcing a technological solution whether theres demand for it or not. VC funding can make up for a lot. Its much more likely they’re another zombie tech company than part of a sinister plot for rich people.

The official reason is that they exported US tech to Iran. But its pretty obvious the whole thing is political. Even trump contradicted the official reason a day later.

I run a fork called KeyDB with multithreading as well as a few optimizations directly around large values (redis does unnecessary copies). It may work well for your use case. https://github.com/JohnSully/KeyDB

This is the age of vertical integration in technology. Truly astounding to see, and not something we've witnessed much of historically. Personally I think a lot of it is being driven by the comoditization of advanced chip fabrication.

Not everyone is in the “money is no object” startup economy. Outside of tech small businesses are actually small.

An interesting point in there on culture fit which I always had in the back of my mind. It's quite possible your "cultural fit" is way too restrictive. Being challenged with new ideas can be a good thing.
