The guy owns a rocket company and still hasn't even been to LEO. Katy Perry has spent more time in space than Elon. Mars isn't happening, at least not on his watch.

They are not. Turbine engines require much higher quality manufacturing and tolerances and operate at much higher speeds and pressures. There is more to it than the perceived numbe…

If you were using TCP, then this is absolutely normal and expected behavior. It is a stream protocol, not packet/message based.

Finally, a use case for blockchain!

Having used Unifi for 10+ years, they really have improved their firmware/software by quite a lot.

One engineer's esoteric is another's daily driver. All 3 of those options are borderline mandatory in embedded firmware development.

Katee Sackhoff did an interview with Ron Moore on her podcast, and one of the topics they discussed was how they would write the "technobabble" in Star Trek (and BSG). Moore said t…

> Gibson is such a unique sci-fi author because his fundamental interest is fashion (he’s said this himself) Check out Pattern Recognition if you're interested in following him dow…

My go to analogy is that conservatives will underfund the assembly of a car, deliver a car that only has two wheels that are both the wrong size, and then say "See? Cars will never…

The PPK2 is one of the best pieces of kit I have and it'd be worth it at 5x the price. There's an unofficial Python library as well. I have power consumption tests running as part …

It switches the detection range, but not the actual power supply. You can ramp from Schematics: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/Pow...

Not to mention the TX power ramps up in microseconds to quite a lot more than 80 mA. If your supply can't handle the modem sleep mode it definitely isn't going to transmit reliably…

Also, they are options . Basic pub/sub usage doesn't need any of them, though some are pretty nice to have.

The lack of status bits on the auto-cal is really unfortunate. Turning it off during a UART transaction definitely "fixes" it. I'm somewhat tempted to do the manual calibration the…

Yup, it's the Hakko Omnivise. They might seem a little pricey, but they are worth every penny.

It really seems like it has to be something like that. The problem is there is no detail in the docs and no status bits in the chip. There's no way to know when the auto-cal runs. …

This is a good resource, however, it didn't apply in my situation because it describes the manual calibration process, not the auto-cal (which the F0 probably doesn't even have). I…

My guess is that the receiver clock glitches in some way when the MSI auto calibration runs, but it never showed up on the transmitter (and the device on the other side of the conn…

The GIL is not there to prevent data corruption on shared objects - it only protects the interpreter's internal state. The fact that sometimes you can get away with it is an accide…

There are TNG episodes that specifically deal with that, and the problems it causes. I think ENT had a few as well, instances which led them to the creation of the Prime Directive.…

That's kind of ironic, considering they don't provide a scheduled reboot feature for their own gear (which often needs it for IoT usage).

The CPU implementation is done by Qualcomm, Apple, and the like. The CPU design is done by ARM, predominantly in the UK. The fact that Softbank (Japan) owns ARM has no bearing on w…

I love that the example uses the exact same indentation format that Python already requires.

The issue here is opportunity cost. It has nothing to do with difficulty. The time spent porting to Python 3 has to provide a better return on investment than the same time spent d…
