I would consider using it anywhere I would be looking at CNC-ed metal, especially for one off parts/prototypes. A lot of the cost of CNC is programming and fixturing, which 3D printing technologies save.

Other 3D printing technologies is already well into this territory. I've used companies like Sculpteo and Xometry numerous times for professional 3D printed parts in various technologies (mostly SLS nylon). The per unit cost is more th

I've hacked around lambda quite a bit (I think the compressed size of one function is a tad under the max allowed). My hacks I remember are: - Run strip all .so libraries -- many aren't stripped fully - In Python I manually delete

Those are "preferred" seats. They're usually windows and aisles close to the front of the plane. They are released to everyone once check-in happens. They save them pre-checkin for status holders (people who fly 25,000+ miles

Well, many chips can be recycled (desoldered and resold), meaning you can buy "expensive" chips for really cheap.

Hopefully this will allow them to take on smaller clients -- we've wanted to start to move some of our shipments from air to sea, but unless you're shipping multiple containers a year they don't have capacity for new clients

I believe virtual machines will typically alter the CPUID a bit: https://tech.mendix.com/linux/2016/08/18/xen-cpuid-masking/ You'll choose a lowest common denominator of features sets.

AirFrance does coach on the upper deck -- you might need to pay a tiny bit more to get them, but definitely not the same as a business class ticket. I highly recommend trying to get a seat up there as well. It has less seats than a regional

It runs at 2x the clock rate as the main chip. So if the chip is running at 2Ghz, the ALU is running at 4Ghz. While this might not make sense at the surface (the next stage of the pipeline won't be ready for the data a half clock cycle

I've done numpy, pillow and scipy from scratch. Note that numpy+scipy is too big for 50MB zip file, so I had to prune out various sub packages I didn't need in order to keep the size done.

I do not have the answers for your questions (and I don't think anyone can share actual failure rates), but I would direct you this video which goes over a lot of modern chip fabrication techniques, circa 2009: https://www.y

Home solar converters will need to synchronize to the mains power supply like any generator before connecting. The power supply capacity of the grid is orders of magnitude more powerful, so connecting it out of sync will still cause it to s

We were in the middle of a large infrastructure change starting at 4:30am this morning, including taking our application offline. I'm very thankful that we did dry runs along with timing how long certain operations like RDS restores sh

Having a fast malloc less compression library is extremely useful in resource constrained embedded systems world, where either memory usage should be minimized (you can still run modern Linux kernels on systems with 32MB of RAM, probably le

Very cool, undersampling of color still exists in modern codecs, if you see something like YUV420 that means there's 2 chroma (color) pixels for every 4 luminance (brightness) pixels: http://i.stack.imgur.com/U7hxZ.png

As far as I know you can do stuff like dynamic linking the right libraries as needed, or use different code paths / function points / virtual functions for those instructions. Linux on ARM used to have an ABI called OABI which wou

I'm guessing it's because the charging cable is fairly thick, making bending it arbitrarily fairly difficult. This design will make sure that the cable isn't too strained while integrating it as one piece. You can definitely

Yea, the switch from auto-complete to company mode was annoying to get done right, but was well worth it in terms of accuracy. It also provides function signatures which my old setup didn't. I also switched to using virtualenv mode as

I think many PCB fabs will say they can do it, the question is how much they will charge. 75 micron drill is crazy.

I think almost every FPGA is like that -- I think ones that have internal flash (like the Spartan-3AN) are still SRAM based and just have a flash chip in the package as well. The only flash based programmable logic from Xilinx/Altera a

With extremely long unshielded parallel cables you're going to tons of cross talk and other emissions that will cause bitflips / errors. In addition at 33Mhz the speed would be (using speed of light instead of calculating velocity

It's probably easy for Intel to reclassify the processors since Amazon probably provides the exact thermal conditions they will be in. If you say that the CPU temperature won't exceed X degrees due to the cooling systems, you can
