If you store phone numbers as integers (you normally should not), remember that leading zeroes are significant. 0123 is not the same as 123. But as integers they normally are (And make sure your parser doesn't parse 0123 as octal).

I think you're assuming that the issues and bugs are simple language errors or the proverbial segfault - which in my experience is quite rare in high reliability software regardless of the language - issues tend to appear at a system o

Odd - It's been a long time since I've gone swimming in salt water, but I've never had any problems opening my eyes in fresh water.

You go to a car junkyard and find the parts you need. Parts from 3. parties aren't that uncommon either.

The specific update here is just a delta update, and doesn't contain the entire firmware. But it does contain shared libraries built for running on a linux system, so it stands to reason there's linux kernel running somewhere ther

For initial setup, there's tons of different methods, though I don't know about light bulbs specifically, but the different IoT devices I've set up have included: * WiFi direct * Setup over Bluetooth * Device broadcasts for a

by noselasd 11y ago
The current thought is that IoT devices should only be clients, mainly for security reasons. If your fridge needs to talk to your TV, both should be clients with a secure connection to a, often cloud based, server. (In the wild, things are

One would hope that the part where this UID is stored at least have all the basic tamper proof protections so it self destructs if tampered with, such as e.g. many SIM cards does.

You can't currently link to Qt statically though. (And holy smokes, that would be a huge binary if it did, just libQt5Widgets.so links to 49 other libraries, everyting from X11 libs to libbz2 to opengl)

Yes, time is slower/faster in different parts of the solar system. Atomic clocks on the GPS satellites ticks 38 microseconds faster than on the surface of earth each day (which they correct for).

You might end up in a situation like this: http://openmoko.soup.io/post/124162230/Harald-LaF0rge-Welte-... fast forward another 10 years, and that one particular situation might be worse still.

It's a summary of the talk at https://vimeo.com/84991949 , where Holzmann just mentions the use of grep verbally, not giving the exact commands to run.

There's also some similar talks/presentations on various topics related to software development for spacecrafts from the yearly Flight Software Workshop at APL: http://flightsoftware.jhuapl.edu/

No - not really, they're both significantly changed since the old days of linux, in the sense that many additional abstractions have been created for supporting a framework for all device drivers, as well as adding frameworks for suppo

by noselasd 11y ago
That's a bit odd, as there has been a tremendous amount of framework code built for supporting various classes of device drivers since 2000, greatly reducing code you'd write or duplicate.

It's perhaps not the perfect metaphor. But up till now all we have really directly observed from outside[1] our solar system are electromagnetic waves(of various wavelengths including visible light), and this is something quite differ

You're assuming Linus didn't change anything at all regarding how he works since this post was made though.

Option 1) is not feasible though, as you'll block your one thread. Though I wonder if you can work around all this by using signalfd ( http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/signalfd.2.html ) and have SIGCHL
