Starting up is hard on electronics due to the inrush current. There may be marginal devices just barely operating that will not survive a reboot. Things like bad capacitors aren’t always detectable during steady state. At AWS scale it’s hig

I've seen a few codebases that are multiple decades old without rewrites. They are understandable and intelligible. Linux is 30 years old as an open source example.

There was a lot less cool sensors and peripherals. Everything was more expensive and more difficult, but people did build a lot of cool things, like hacking the Altair to play music on a radio with its RF interference.

You might have that feeling, but reconsider with the new information about insider selling. Insider trades do correlate to investment performance.

It matters if your a MSFT shareholder and are wondering if you should “diversify” too.

I was wondering why my dodge dropped in value so fast. I kept it over 8 years so it averaged out but those first years were tough. I had to repair a thermostat and condenser in those 8 years, but I found it was much easier to work on then m

I did this with windows but it kept needing to be reactivated so I eventually just gave up.

Were windows org meetings typically this hostile? Seems like a different world from my experience in the office org (Note: I did nothing related to XPS, I'm curious about the general team dynamics).

Cinema frames were vertical on the strip (less wide) while stills were horizontal. So still frame will used more space. For widescreen optical compression was used to compress the frame horizontally.

There’s no CPU flag to say “this instruction exists on another core”. X86 disassemblers are very complex if you want to handle more than just the happy path. X86 instructions can be up to 15 bytes long. Then there is the issue with new inst

They would also need to know which specific instructions are really invalid and which just don’t exist on this specific core. X86 doesn’t make that easy.

Once you document it you can’t change it. That’s why internals rarely get documentation and serious thought is given to what should be a public API.

Where I am being on an organ donor list also makes you eligible to be used as a cadaver. I’m not comfortable being prodded by med students but would give an organ.

The US has a good network of public run rest stops on the interstates. The bathrooms aren’t spotless but have always worked in a pinch. There’s one every few hundred miles. Truckers prefer commercial truck stops but I usually see a few at

The RF path is not via the secondary bus though. The RF path is via the remote update path directly to the secure bus.

by jdsully 5y ago
If every ECU has OTA update capability then how could the secure bus possibly be air gapped? You could attack it remotely via OTA updates to an ECU on that bus.

Things were a bit more organized in other orgs. The windows org actively fought Satia so eventually he just forced the issue with a mass layoff.

With all respect it scares the crap out of me that the rear doors of my car don't have a way to open without electricity. I don't like to carry passengers in the backseat for that reason, and I think its a much less far fetched e

by jdsully 5y ago
They must have been trying to escape. The rear doors don't have mechanical releases, so your in a tough spot if the front doors fail to open for any reason and there is a fire. I don't know why they didn't include a mechani

Sure but if they are on that show they’re going to be bad no matter what their opinions are.

We ended up implementing that in KeyDB. The Redis team always thought it would overcomplicate the code, but it’s been a long standing request.

Shareholder power is diffuse, a lot like voting for your congressman is. If you hold over 50% of the vote there are more tools available but then your getting lawyers involved. Sometimes corporations are organized in such a way that even

A hospital may or may not be for profit but they aren’t allowed to set their own prices or accept anything except OHIP or other provincial insurance. The exception is if you have no public health insurance (e.g. a tourist) or if it’s for a

Canada is not like NZ. Public health insurance has a monopoly on the things it covers. If you get extended coverage it is for things not covered by your public plan. There’s no way to pay for better/faster treatment if it’s publicly co

Having some experience with hospitals and N95 they asked that we put a surgical mask over the one we came with. Pointless and unnecessary but I guess it’s easier than having staff validate the mask your wearing. They never required we remov
