WebUSB sounds like a truly gaping security hole. Imagine exploiting USB drivers over the web (yes, even though USB doesn't require DMA support, the drivers operate on a very low level -- https://security.stackexchange.com&#x

Gm invented the skateboard design but never did anything with it. Tesla uses it but it's proprietary. Rivian's shtick is that they are willing to license it and build it for others. That's a big reason why Ford invested: they

2x better than a technology that benefits from the enormous, monstrous economies of scale that lithium ion batteries do is a folly. Every portable electronic device benefits from lithium ion improvements. That's how Tesla was able to l

Switch to ecdsa certs and shave another few hundred bytes :) Bandwidth is the killer thing with aws. It's designed to make you move services inside the boundary.

Utf-32 allows for constant time indexing of a codepoint which may be important. Utf-16 is the worst of all worlds with its bloat and surrogate pair nonsense

Start with an electrical and computer engineering course. Some eda tools are literally fancy vector graphics engines. Some are em simulators wrapped up. Others are circuit modeing tools. It's not really like programming. The tools are

Linear algebra done right by Sheldon axler Linear algebra that focuses on matrices of numbers is missing the point and a proper numerical linear algebra class will teach them better anyway

Any dependently typed language worth its salt will be able to model a state machine in its type system. Haskell can do it with some effort, maybe for simple stuff phantom types and GADTs are enough. With linear types the explicit "cons

Legally they aren't. They also sever the link that lets you use Section 75 to force refunds of defective goods.

Quite a lot of ETL ends up being some minor transforms + a query or two. Not all of it is massive ML models doing a lot of computation, and I've had a lot of success using pandas and numpy in it (and gcp cloud functions). Serverless ha

The entire cc industry is addicted to the processing fees and everyone else pays for it with higher prices.

I would love to know how I could price discriminate when I was in crippling kidney stone pain. Price transparency is only a minor issue.

Asn.1 is incredibly hard to actually implement . There are dozens of cases of security bugs based on bad parsers. Also there are a dozen different encodings of asn.1 data including json (JER). Its age also means that it has a bunch of obso

Xml is a beast to parse. It's slow to parse and verbose but it doesn't give you a human friendly text format. It's got a number of weird features inherited from sgml. Every parser needs a quirks mode since nobody can write go

Elixir Tasks act closer to a very lightweight threadpool dispatch, rather than the coroutine style of async/await in other languages. An Elixir task doesn't, iirc, share memory with other tasks and won't block if you make it

SD Express is almost certainly going to be adopted by more people than Toshiba, for one. Though it could die like UHS-III.

Au contraire, Boeing is most definitely too big too fail and will be bailed out somehow.

The big problem with nuclear driven steam turbines is that they cannot be cheaper than thermal coal driven steam turbines due to costs-- construction, operation and decommissioning. Their LCOE is just not great and not lowering quick enough

Because the powerwall allows you to "buy" power at the opportunity cost of $0.02/kWh vs paying up to $0.32/kWh ? If you end up generating a lot of excess solar using a lot of grid power at peak times, it could pay for it
