In the US, it puts the charge on your phone bill and makes it near impossible to contest or get a refund when things go wrong, because dealing with phone companies is usually way more painful than dealing with a credit card company or even

In flying, logged hours are often used as an indicator of experience. A quip I've heard from at least two instructors: "You can fly 400 hours, or you can fly the same hour 400 times." Sounds like your coworker has had the sam

You generally don't do small runs of chips, unless cost is no object. The NRE costs of getting the masks made, even on older processes like these are still comfortably in the $X00,000 range, blowing past $1 million pretty quickly if yo

In case there was any doubt - this article was flagged because of the inexcusably misleading headline. There may be something worth discussing here, but there's basically zero chance of reasonable discourse unless the title is changed.

Employee spot bonuses. The headline deliberately makes it sound like they suspended the annual bonuses that a lot of employees expect and budget around, which is not the case. This is a weasel headline designed to induce outrage where non

Most of the flags tell the Rust compiler what strategies to use when producing machine code. Actual Rust code rarely looks at these flags, so correct interpretation of the program generally isn't affected by them. Contrast this with C

I think the best way to describe pipes to the uninitiated is in terms of copy & paste. Copy & paste is the basic, ubiquitous, doesn't-try-to-do-too-much IPC mechanism that allows normal users to shovel data from one program int

I mean, you're not wrong... but the chip industry moves slowly, and by your own definition, most chips produced today would not be considered well designed. Also, once you protect against power glitching, they'll move on to clock

This isn't actually as bad as it sounds. Almost all general purpose microcontrollers with "readout protection" are vulnerable to glitching attacks like this one. It may be a stretch to claim that most embedded engineers und

I agree that (under) enforcement is part of the equation, but I don't think it's the primary issue. The problem starts when legislators write vague or ill-posed laws because they don't understand the underlying technical issu
