Sorry its really not intended to be a personal attack and i regret the wording. To clarify what I was trying to convey, the issue I personally find is that JS errors often produce difficult to understand descriptions and misleading traces w

Yeah you're probably right. Often when you review critical failures you find multiple things went wrong at once to cause the catastrophic failure. I would place a good bet that there was a failed fan, poorly secured heatsink or maybe j

by verelo 11y ago
People seem to be missing my point. To be clear, i'm trying to suggest that there is a high chance that the hardware fault that was triggered by overheating, was potentially caused by a software fault.
934.
by verelo 11y ago
I'm not sure I agree. While its possible the overheating was due to a failed fan or something physical, but its also very possible that the software running on this hardware caused it to overheat.

No that is simply not true, seg faults provide useful debug info in any potential core dump they provide. Also, for something as important as an aircraft, I'd prefer to have a developer who knows what a seg fault is writing the code fo

This has been an interesting 5 years for this space. I had Grooveshark, but they didn't have an iOS app, so when i switched from Android I went to Rdio. When Spotify launched in Canada, I tried it, and quickly switched over simply beca

Yeah I agree that is reasonable, but the other non-requirement based requirements still exist, which add to the level of success you're going to have when executing a project using beacons.

I hope you're right about the vendors. I've come across two now, and both times thought we did our diligence but part way into the campaign continued to get surprised by different issues that really just ended up coming down to a

Personally my experiences with iBeacons have been horrible. For an app of any real scale, you want to control your own messaging, but most of the vendors in this space want you to use their messaging platform (otherwise, what would be the p

I had mine taken out while awake (all 4 at once). I was 28 at the time. Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad of an experience. I was back at work briefly the next day and then fairly normal within 48 hours. Personally the idea of going und

I respect peoples right to down-vote, but i would appreciate you to also leave some feedback if you have the chance. I'm genuinely curious as to what someone might disagree with, I feel that all I stated were facts from my own personal

I would argue that the issue is not with the "programmers" but HR. I've had people hand me offer letters with "Software Engineer" written on it, but i do not hold an engineering degree (and i didn't ask for tha

I don't know about you, but in my mind when I see a yield sign...i'll stop if it makes sense. I don't feel that the stop sign changes my desire to not run over someone all that much. As a driver I want the flexibility to make

Roundabouts with stop signs are insane, i see them in Ontario too and cannot figure them out. Coming from Australia (that admittedly at times tends to over uses roundabouts) all i can ever wonder when i see a quiet road with traffic lights,

All these controls sound very similar to those in my current year Mercedes...although i would be hopeful that the autosteer on offer here is better than the Distronic plus "lane assist" in the Merc, which while OK, does not do a g

Right! OK that makes a lot of sense. Thank you I don't know why I didn't get that right away.

But...is it the employers issue if you choose to work 4 hours away from where you live? Are they allowed to not employ people based on where they live as it is going to impact their costs? I like the idea, but i get the feeling the implemen

Timeouts are the majority of the issues, when our service is running perfectly fine otherwise. They have often been short, but sometimes long enough to cause me to sit there and flip DNS for various end points away from them until the issue

I want to love CloudFlare, I really do. We currently use them, but sadly the number of times that CloudFlare has been the cause of a service interruption is somewhere around 50% mark. They are no longer in use on any critical/important

Can someone please define "PIP"? I honestly have no idea what it means.

Yeah you're right and I can think of several cases, especially in legacy software, where this would be helpful. I just feel that this is one of those things that delegates responsibility to a lower level component due to a flaw in one

This would be interesting from a query analytics perspective, but in terms of protection, i would personally not want to rely on something at the DB level. I would place a significant bet that this opinion is not unique to me, and it is why

I only fly in Canada (planes mostly, sometimes drones) but the easiest way to know the rules is to use a VNC (1) (VFR map in the US (2)) to determine the airspace above / around you, lookup NOTAMS to find any exceptions and combine tha
