Because of this, some fancier EVs/hybrids have an auto-wipe feature that briefly applies the brakes at low pressure while you are driving to clean the pads.
Orson Scott Card explores the idea of long sleeps in some of his short stories, with a drug called "somec", and yes, space travel is featured quite a bit. I haven't read them in many years, but I have fond memories of them.
Wife and I moving back to our home town. Although all our friends are in SF, it's miserable working from a small apartment and not being able to see our friends. Our destination happens to be in one the places that is covid free right now though. We plan on moving back to SF if/when things clear up
Anecdata, but I've put in a high end oven, dishwasher, new shower head, bike rack and more ceiling lights in our rental. The appliances we're cheap as they were second hand, and our deposit is also 1/2 of our monthly rent, so I plan on leaving it all there and I don't really care if we lose the deposit. But it was well worth it for the comfort of the place (I cook a lot). And it's a better place for whoever's next. The landlord hasn't upped the rent in 3 years, so I think we've both got a good deal out of it.
According to this, 25% of privately owned firearms are due to previous or active military service. Switzerland also has compulsory military service and you can't carry in public.
Yeah, Shivs work ok. I've run into some stupid issues with the self-extracting directory being have too long path names on Windows and such, so it's not perfect.
Kinda. But then you don't have the right o-ring and the store is closed until Monday. And you mixed up the BSF and UNC threads on your carbs. And the cloth wiring is intermittently shorting out. Computers are nice in some ways.
We use pandas for writing assertions on time series data collected from simulated and real firmeare. Eg:
- two signals X and Y should always be within 5% of each other while condition Z is true.
- signal A should transition from value M to N within time window t1-t2
Would love something in rust to match the rest of the infrastructure. Python also has plenty of warts with regards to packaging, cross compilation and deployment
In my (limited) exposure of products failing in the field due to whiskers, the mitigations included coating the entire board in some kind of film, and changing layout to make the board less vulnerable in the first place. Probably designers just got good enough at that to the point where it doesn't matter
I work in the embedded space, but the majority of my work is writing simuators, mathematical models and tests. One of the hidden benefits for us was that rust is suitable for both resource-constrained embedded code (we use a lot of C for this) and high-level desktop and cloud based infrastructure/sim/test code, which we would never consider writing in C. Serde is amazing, crates.io has so much good stuff on it, C interop is a breeze. We still use Python/matlab for exploratory and data-sciency work, but as soon as something lives for more than about 6 months, it usually gets re-written in rust.
It still might be needed for external dependencies. the code an organization writes might be in one repo, but if you want to bring in some other library, like libssl (assuming there is no better package manager for your language) submodules are often used
While in theory there could be a lot more competition for arm based compute platforms, is there any risk of the cloud providers adding custom extensions to their silicon to increase performing, creating yet another platform lock-in? I'm thinking if the Intel compiler is somewhat analogous.
Regular CFLs (and maybe other types) can already cause significant issues to gsm spectrums if their transformers deteriorate the wrong way, so I'd imagine there is plenty of potential for emissions out of the 2.4ghz band.
I feel like that about America in general. Sales Tax is never included, or they display the price assuming a auto pay discount or some other such 'discount'. Don't get me started on tipping.
Given that they just laid off 7% of their employees due to cost measures I'd say likely not. They're just not longer subsidizing it for owners because they don't need so much of a draw card.
