I experimented with an Ohm/CodeMirror bridge that would map an Ohm grammar to CodeMirror classes for marks and syntax highlighting. It might be an interesting starting point for yo…

If anyone is looking for ideas for how to build tooling that fights flaky tests, I consolidated a number of lessons into a tool I open sourced a while ago. https://github.com/ajbou…

My understanding is that there is some evidence that Alzheimer's is transmissible (e.g. higher rate of incidence in caregivers and neurosurgeons), but more study is needed.

What have you found to work best when coordinating with your data management and development/operations staff?

Transitive trust is the scariest form of trust in any system. It's also the part of V2V that seems to be most powerful and least talked about.

I think there is something romantic about the siren's song that is "we don't need object detection or velocity estimation if all objects self-report their location, velocity, and i…

I am not aware of any sensor system that involves meaningful cryptographic claims about sensor readings. I'd love to learn more about anything along those lines. Especially the ass…

Fair enough. Though my point was trying to say that protocols should assume a variety of component failure modes. I'd rather just have to trust the safety standards of the manufact…

I'm actually just asserting that systems advocating for use of V2V messages should account for misinformation. That is, as a human I know that the drivers around me might have brok…

Good point. V2V communication means BT exploits can become worms even more easily, spreading from phone to vehicle to vehicle.

Nothing about my comment advocates for perfectionism. My point is that V2V systems and research papers I've seen just don't make meaningful claims about safety. They instead make c…

Low Speed/Fault Tolerant CAN offers baud rates from 40 Kbit/s to 125 Kbits/sec. This standard allows CAN bus communication to continue in case of a wiring failure on the CAN bus li…

Car manufacturers are extremely careful about the failure modes of components and sensors they put in their vehicles. Consider the design of the CAN bus, which has explicit support…

Hi @danicgross, glad to see you're iterating in this space! :) It feels like your comment about the network and community being the most valuable part of program is probably right.…

Beyond providing security, reproducible builds also provide an important ingredient for caching build artifacts (and thus accelerating build times) across CI and developer machines…

Cool seed for a community! Seems to lack a place for discussion about submitted ideas, so I'll follow others' lead and discuss here. The "industry specific deep learning" project i…

Cool! Does this sort of thing ever upset users when you guess wrong?

Kudos to HashiCorp for realizing that the complexity of the project was getting away from them and for having the guts to pull the plug in such a public way.

We suffered with a Jenkins-like solution for a long time before we decided enough was enough and we wanted to use an approach that didn't need as much soul-crushing, CI-specific ef…

I forgot to mention that using the same build tool for both CI and developers has a number of other advantages, including artifact caching. When a developer downloads a change, the…

I don't know how large a large project is, but our system is pretty large. We build and test for 4 different operating system flavors and way more than that if you incorporate spec…

Your comments are fantastically correct. Yes, secret dependencies are the worst . We use an OS sandbox to prevent access outside to non-declared dependencies. That same sandbox pre…

Have you written any code to that effect? I've been trying to think through how booting up dependencies might work (for things like integration tests). I have aspirations for QA ( …
