I'm not a contractor. I'm saying, if I were you, I wouldn't be pissing and moaning about the terms under which I'm being given $200k a year to drink smoothies and pretend to do engineering work.

I have always assumed that these are posted to obfuscate nepotism (aka successful networking). You make a show of searching for the just-right candidate, and in the meanwhile you already know exactly who you're going to hire.

Many wrenches and powertools were essential in building the LHC, but they didn't give the prize to Black & Decker or DeWalt either.

The federal government is clearly ok with supporting a TSMC transition to the states. Something tells me though that they are willing to throw a lot of money at Intel if Intel is willing to fill the same niche that TSMC does currently. That

>Is this how arm vs x86 ends? No... Intel isn't the only one that makes x86 processors and Qualcomm isn't the only one that makes arm. Separately, Intel should sell them the flagging chips business and keep the fledgling foundr

I'm not claiming that there's no difference - just that with the limited tests I ran, preempt_rt is not nearly as good as xenomai.

A few months ago, I played around with a contemporary build of preempt_rt to see if it was at the point where I could replace xenomai. My requirement is to be able to wake up on a timer with an interval of less than 350 us and do some work

So... why doesn't Intel "just" make a low-power x86 processor and win everything forever?

Do you hold INTC by any chance? >If it’s as they say, switching to AMD shouldn’t lead to 100x fewer crashes, it should lead to no crashes. As many others have pointed out, this is baloney. Computers are not perfect machines and even if t

I wish urbanists (I more or less consider myself one) would stop bringing up climate change. There is a chance that these issues could have strong bipartisan support if you would stop tying them to highly partisan issues. Put a pin in it -

Netflix's video encoding is really bad, and the showrunners don't seem to know. Every Netflix show I've seen in the past year (n=3) has had these crazy panning drone shots of forests in winter, with really high f#'s, gra

The trouble is that things change too quickly for there to be a specific tome that everyone agrees is gospel. I think the closest you will get to gospel in this space are classic books like K&R C, which have very little to do with Linux

The Raspberry Pi used a broadcomm CPU... are you telling me that's open hardware? Is there any SOC chip that is totally open with no proprietary features??

An IPO is a cashout. It's almost always certain that there are many key players in the company who had stake that no longer do. This is not a "fuck MBAs" thing. It is much harder to keep a business aligned with its initial pu

I don't take it as an axiom that, whatever "merit" is, it's not heritable. Show me that your interventions un-correlate them.
