The fact that the dealership lobby is having to push for laws to protect their business means they are seeing the writing on the wall: the car dealership model will soon become just another (unpleasant) relic from the past. Baby Boomers and

The library is one of the last places where you can exist without the expectation of buying something. I’m not some anti-capitalist at all, but I do recognize the role in which public facilities like the library play. Ideally, they provide

Crawling is indirect. This isn’t a protocol like IMAP where each object exists inherently as specified by the protocol. The idea of a “thread” or “user” does not exist in HTTP, only “documents” do. Everything at this layer is made up by (an

After burning the current one, books and all. Granted this had to do with the fact that unlike any other agreed upon standard protocol, Reddit posts are not accessible except by indirect means, i.e. you can’t download the contents of a comm

My advice to new kicad users is just to watch someone on YouTube go through a familiar project and see how their flow is, then try to create your own project from design to implementation. Next, check out the kicad library guidelines to see

I just ask. It’s usually for dev boards for newly produced ICs that they are selling and there are no published reference designs yet.

I work with random vendors from Ali Express, I do have to say there has been a growing number of them giving me zipped KiCAD files with edit histories indicating they likely used it to develop the project on.

Even professionally, some of the places I worked for lately preferred KiCAD because you can check in libraries and projects to git and see meaningful diffs.

The advantage of a local storage is a ruggedized recorder will not need to maintain any sort of wireless com link, as it’s stored on the physical unit. If you introduce any number of factors such as in-air separation of the aircraft, trauma

First off, there are two recorders: the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorded. The voice recorder needs power which is provide by the aircraft and is a rolling 2-hour recording. If there is an incident, the captain will pull t

Sure, but that’s not the point here. With that logic, nothing is truly event-based if you can conceivably use it other ways. JavaScript was designed to interface with the DOM and had to support certain flows which is why I classify it inher

I’ve been mixed about using alternative languages or specialized runtimes on IoT devices and while I think an inherently event-driven language like JavaScript, with its first-class function as value support and widely used patterns, I’ve be

I’ve used a lot of different sensors for random purposes and it’s almost always the same few companies (or a knockoff of them) at each the price point. Building a sensor-on-ic is more comparable to the process that pharmaceutical companies

I personally never mentioned thought crimes, rather my argument is based on the rather fleeting nature of even full time employment in todays age. The corporation had no loyalty and has no obligation to you beyond what was agreed upon when

It’s the consolation of power that is concerning. The idea that one single institution that is accountable to nobody but it’s shareholders can dictate where you live, eat, who your friends are, and where your family is. Many very-bad, dicta

There are a few examples in history and it never really works out long term: Pullman is notable for its wage cuts of workers (while still charging the same for everything in the town they owned) which caused a major strike that got ugly: h

This is not a persecution complex. As long as you are employed by a company, you are engaging in a business transaction. Once they determine you are no longer worth the expense, they will cut the expense, then your are no longer welcome in

This is because our circadian rhythms are naturally found to be about 25 hours absent external stimuli or timekeeping devices.

I (personally) think the value towards openness of platform and source is rooted in the fact that a lot of inbound leads come from direct recommendations from independent developers that work for the companies looking to buy. In other words

I haven’t checked if you guys are hiring, but I would immediately want to be part of this. I do a lot of reverse engineering these days as well as hardware fabrication to create “bridges” from one device to another.

This is one of the reasons why I’ve become disillusioned from working for 99% of companies out there. I don’t expect a great deal of loyalty from a company but I expect not to axed for dumb reasons that usually have little to do with me. Ru

This has been observed in dictionaries, atlases, street maps, and a few other mediums. This is trivial for an AI to detect because if something appears just in one source, they won’t include it, but it appears in just as few as two, there i

I understand the purpose of this and that if they raise a sufficient enough stink, it will likely get them to cave for the time being. However the problem is that they have already showed their true intentions. The business of Reddit is not

The ones I used are sufficiently fast. Each one usually comes with a data sheet that have performance specifications. Some sacrifice speed and capacity for data integrity (writing twice), but in general, the main features and use-cases are

There are varying degrees of ruggedness, this line I use when moisture or vibrations are not an issue (just temperature fluctuations and minor humidity changes).
