What you are describing is yet another way to make the testing stricter. Legally optimizing for the driving cycle will always be possible so adding an extra measurement that compares the test cycle with some real world driving is yet anothe

From your link: found that not one single brand complies with the latest air pollution limits (‘Euro 6’) for diesel cars and vans in real-world driving The important bit is "real-world driving". As far as we know everyone optimi

As far as I know the opposite is true and emission tests have only gotten stricter. The test cycle has been updated to be more realistic[1] and the standard has lowered allowed values across the board[2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia

This seems simple enough. If you are doing updates (OTA or not) to software that is part of the car certification then each update needs to be certified as well and regulators need to be on the lookout for cars running uncertified updates.

This is such a defeatist attitude that lets VW off the hook. We may yet find that everyone was doing it but this isn't it. No one has been found to be doing large-scale cheating like VW so far. And the technology to make diesel cleaner

I didn't find confirmation but I assume being certified with 14.04 and 16.04 means they're still certified with 18.04. Assuming that's the case they've certified pretty much their whole range.

The discussion is not about bootstrapping. Bootstrapping using mrustc on riscv64 would get you a working rust 1.19 compiler that runs on riscv64 and knows how to emit x86 code. It wouldn't even allow you to go up to the latest version.

This is probably what you mean: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc It's still a work in progress, with only x86 even supported. It's not a GCC frontend, it generates C, and is based on an old version of

That's only true if your only options are a lawsuit or sitting on your hands. Linus and Greg explain how they do a bunch of other stuff that ends up actually working. So that's a false dichotomy. And it's not even true that t

by pedrocr 7y ago
That's not really being against enforcement. It's having a tactical argument that sueing is not the best way to get enforcement. Given that they did lose the lawsuit, a big part of the Linus/GregKH argument seems vindicated.

In a serialization format you should explicitly define the endianness to be used and then convert to and from it explicitly in the serialize/deserialize code. So memcpy is wrong but the grandparent point still stands. Defining a serial

Why do you need to calculate it upfront? Have a simple feedback loop by setting an initial tax level and adjusting it up or down compared to your target emissions curve.

Ripe raspberries are very delicate. Some of these small fruits are sometimes picked directly into the final retail boxes to minimize handling. I don't know if you can apply those methods if you're not then processing the fruit fur

If selling with stems works fine, no doubt. But raspberries detach from stems as they mature so you may end up with a messy box after a while. Or maybe this is just done because it's easy to pick manually by grabbing the fruit and pick

by pedrocr 7y ago
If you do that with raspberries then you need to have people process the fruit again as they're sold without stems. Tomatoes and strawberries are sold with stems as they don't detach without cutting. Don't know what the effec

This is a bit pedantic but capitalization matters in units. I think you mean 1MB instead of 1Mb (byte not bit). And "mb" would be a milli-bit or a thousandth of a bit, which is a unit that probably makes sense in some situations (

The "monster" is the 12/24 and that's still only 105W. For a real monster you'd need a Threadripper. The cheaper 8/16 at 65W/329$ looks like a great choice. But I guess 6/12 for 130$ less is also nice
