Just use one of the for cores on a rpi2 locked to GPIO duty and you can run them as fast as you want...

Why do you think that the government should pay for the externalities of discarded products? Shouldn't that be on the original manufacturer?

One side effect of building for repairability is that objects will be bigger and clunkier, which will use more materials and cost more (and burn more fuel) to transport. I'm all for repairability, and even better, building things that

The BeagleBone was great when it first came out. Then the Raspberry Pi came out, and has a bigger community, higher performance, and lower price. Compared to the RPi 3, the BBBW seems like ... too little, too late?

Layer violations are fine if they give you value. ZFS is very layer "violating" as well. However, the layers are concepts put in place by humans to help, not God given laws of nature.

The network stack was totally rewritten and optimized, in kernel mode, about halfway through the BeOS lifetime. The kernel did a better job at heavy threading and SMP than Linux or NT or NextStep at the time. The interrupt model and thus la

For that to work, you have to arbitrage the fee the business would pay to a recruiter against the lost income for the employee you place. Maybe you have secret sauce that makes it possible? Tell us more?

The article postulates that "everyones" definition of consciousness is "experience of any kind whatever." That's not my definition at all. My camera is not conscious because it experiences images. My speakers aren&#

I don't see any commercial company catching up with the really hard problems like "pedestrian behind hedge" or "policeman's hand signals" or whatever. What I see from the commercial companies is little more adv

The User/Volvo/whatever approach may deliver earlier value, but the Google approach is what's needed to have safe cars in uncontrolled urban environments. I get quite frustrated with articles and headlines and even analysts w

I think you overdramatize. If lives saved is greater than lives lost, your doing great! It's not like all military contractor engineers live under a constant cloud of self hatred and suicidal thoughts, either, and they build things tha

Is everyone cut out to be an Olympic athlete, or are some genetics involved? The answer is "it's a mix." Can anyone with diligent work ethic and a continual effort into learning find some place that needs their skills? Very l

My guess: GPS tells you what country and city you are in, so licensed Google play content can be restricted by geography. All hail our overlords the content restriction owners!

You'll only make $100M of you're a founder of one of the very few really large, successful companies. It's a 1 in 10,000 chance or worse, not 1 in 10. (And mean value of $100M at 0.01% right now is only $10k)

With $1M net worth (expect $40k/year annuity,) you'd have to live frugally to be truly independent, especially of you have a family. With $5M net worth, you could live well, independently. A 9-5 is unlikely to let you save $1M, mu

Each component could have it's environment passed in when called, rather than needing a back pointer. This also simplifies unit testing!

The solution is to implement guis with composition and delegation rather than inheritance. It requires some ree-thinking and elbow grease, rather than just copying stale designs from 30 years ago, which may be why so many people avoid it, t

The very first complaint seems to totally miss how traits are interfaces, not classes. Doesn't make enough of an impression to keep going...

Roll backs are in chat logs? I'd assume your scripts would record what they do when they do it, including roll backs. Also, when only deploying two times a day, it's harder to tell which of the included changes have the problem. T

Yes, slack and irc time stamps is common. Ideally your shell and auditing gives you that for commands, too!

The detail was right there: debugging something in security caused massive logging which caused CPU bottlenecking. Performance is the hardest thing to integration test for. Keeping careful track of CPU/memory/network/disk loa

The fact that you think an engineer can be "outed" is a culture problem. The process failed the engineer. Testing, deployment, and monitoring infrastructure was not up to the task of supporting human beings. That it happened to be

The real support for a frequent deployment system is in the immune system! I've had good luck with a deployment immune system that rolls back if CPU or other load jumps, even if it doesn't immediately cause user failure. (I e, mon

If you are an hourly employee, there is already extra pay for nights/weekend/long shifts. If you are salaried, you're expected to do the job that's needed, without particular daily time keeping. Easiest is to build robus

Try that when your deployment requires a schema change of a database table with a billion rows :-) That being said, we've automated deploy and rollback on error to the point where it's a script, and we run it 50 times a day. The &
