So no "law" at all. Just more "here today, gone tomorrow" precedents.

What law was wrecked? The outcome appears to be the upholding of a CA law.

Define "tough." Politicians and top tier academics, for example, are often very ruthless people, bred among wealth and generational security. They've never worked a 12h shift in a mine, but if you want to observe utterly pi

Answer: it depends. When failure to be habitual about something has significant financial cost or causes physical pain, adoption will often be nearly instantaneous.

That's understandable. It's a genuine betrayal. Synology, QNAP, et al. exist as a response to the traditional storage vendor lock-in, gouging and rent seeking.

The first glance of the code made me think of CNC g-code. Some older machines I've seen have tabular form similar to this, only because they have segmented displays. I suspect these concepts aren't as "new paradigm" as

> the 16-bit CRC should have caught those errors I believe your confidence in the 16-bit CRC is excessive. There is a 1 in 65536 chance of a 16 bit CRC failing for certain types of corruption in 512 byte bulk USB packets, and there are

Perhaps there is a place for a simpler alternative. My comment was pretty tangential to this discussion about the merits of SPI vs USB vs whatever. My point is that I believe some benefit can be had by software developers in understanding

The LTC6227, used in this design, is "last time buy." The replacements aren't as good: either higher noise or lower GBW, and they too will vanish in a few years. That is, of course, deliberate, forcing designers to climb th

Yeah, I get it. There's an idiom. Still, that glitch is guaranteed to catch everyone off guard, experienced or otherwise, when taking up golang. As I said, it's an entry on the list, and such a list exists for most (all?) mains

I would, and there is no shame in it, as far as I'm concerned. I don't need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun you.

This is certainly true. Also, by replacing the allocator and changing compiler flags, you're possibly immunizing yourself from attacks that rely on some specific memory layout.

The 5.9L 12-valve Cummins is also a fine choice. Another fully mechanical engine. In theory, with a manual transmission, you can operate a vehicle without even a battery after it's started.

This is exactly correct. There is a long walk between working ISA and a high performance device that can sustain high IPC. Alibaba has the C930 now, only a few day ago. There are no credible performance figures on it yet, but they'v
