Jailbreaking isn't like opening the hood, it's effectively messing with the system and setup (just like the ECU example). It might not cause any problems, but it also might. I have no problem with that by the way, but you are on

This is more like you replaced the exhaust system with something bought 3rd and reflashed your car with a 3rd party CAN bus widget, then complain when it overheats and has a flat zone around 3500 rpm.

I think their point was that they have an artificial limit for the actual hours booked (20h), but a lot of delivery time is not-working (e.g. waiting on an order) but that doesn't count against the 20h. So if they are willing, they can

400-500k total staff by some estimates, it's a little hard to know where to draw the lines, and a little hard to do apples-to-apples. Also about 5% total GDP applied which is crucial.

I didn't say that your rate at a govt focussed consultancy would be identical to your rate elsewhere. I probably should have been more explicit. I rejected the idea that the consultancy would get a rate increase based on "market

Pretty similar, but seems like you want the pool of people restricted to those with the tools, skills, and experience to not want to bother for that rate.

Quiet I think is somewhat intrinsic, although the desirability of that is socially constructed, and changes over time. I also think people care about "quiet house" (which is to some degree a choice during construction) more than

That's not really how it works. They are more than happy to have "market forces" drive up the hourly rates, so long as they get to keep their overhead % fixed, and that's probably how the contract is structured. Win-wi

For the parts of such systems that you would need an RTOS for this isn't really a likely replacement because the OS is way too complex. The sort of thing it could help with is servicing hardware that does run hard realtime. For exam

The old saying "real time" /= "real fast". Hard vs "soft" realtime muddies things a bit, but I think it's probably the majority of software developers don't really understand what realtime ac

Does everything runs on those CPUs though? Hard realtime control is often done on much simpler MCU at the lowest level, with oversight/planning for a high level system....
