Sadly I think not. They had their opportunity in 2020.

Amazing article, thanks! However, I think when you said "...heat was transmitted by convection through the metal plate inside each page...", you probably meant conduction, right? C…

SpaceWire is also just LVDS with an uber-minimal routing protocol. It runs on a lot of satellites.

When you get to the really tightly controlled industries, your "formal" language becomes carefully structured English.

Oh almost certainly. PROCHOT is programmable.

I have these taped up above my desk at work. I've been able to point to at least half of them from one time or another

I'd like to see a prison sentence for corporations.

Wow, this could be quite useful for poking at the head unit in my car. It's also running QNX.

Absolutely. If you look at an extensively used standard like DO-178C for avionics, it really says very little about how to program. Instead, the emphasis is on making sure that the…

Ah, not coming to the US.

Framing "less code written" as a trade-off is a red flag to me. Anyone who judges productivity by lines of code written should inquire with me about a limited time, fantastic deal …

For the past 10 years, I've worn a slide rule every day. It's a small circular one modeled after the E6B aviation slide rule, with markers for common aviation conversions.

Thanks to the open source nature of the Arduino ecosystem, you can make it so!

It's also because the cars are getting so much taller, especially in the US. Driving a smaller car is terrifying when a lifted Dodge fitted with anti-aircraft spotlights blinds you…

Absolutely. Our disposable society is a privilege for those who can afford it and an absolute curse for those who can't.

The biggest pains of film scanning are in the post process color balance and dust removal. Unless this can improve those parts of the workflow, it's only going to be a minor improv…

'git bisect run' is probably one of the most important software tools ever.

Not really on topic, but I think it's funny that most MMA style gyms always offer Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai as two classes, right after each other. Of the two, Jiu Jitsu seems to gen…

In house delivery has existed for a lot of business for a long time. For instance, nearly every pizza store would do delivery themselves. Many still do. However those services didn…

Enjoy your nazimobile

Matlab deliberately notes that its matrices are laid out like this since most matrix operations occur on columns, a whole column can be loaded on a cache line.

It makes fantastic sense in Texas too because air conditioning is such a high portion of demand. Clean energy production reaches its peak at midday when everyone has their AC going…

The cyber truck, tragically.

When someone vehemently supports a strongman government, endorses a racist view of population dynamics, the banning of books, the repression of ethnic and gender minorities, and un…

Network wide ad blockers like PiHole are also quite useful but they can cause some confusion from the client side because things just break for no apparent reason.
