I love the way they buried the “we are no longer supporting an entire operating system” in a small missing tick, half way down the page…

I'm trivialising, but a lot of software in medical devices is turning a GPIO pin on/off in response to another pin, then announcing that it did so. The piece missing from the article is that the assumed probability of software&#x2

The co-leads on drafting the code are rather interesting: > Drafting of the code was co-led by Digital Industry Group Inc. (DIGI), which was contacted for comment as it counts Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo among its members.

Underwriters Laboratories, UL. Look at the back of pretty much any mains powered device and you'll see their mark. They were founded 130 years ago, and test and warrant devices (typically high voltage) to be safe. Security is a new thi

Ignoring the common trope that developers are bad testers (I am, but not all devs are), QA presence allows teams to move faster by reducing the developer test burden to automated regression, and developer acceptance testing only. Good QA ca

If I was a prosumer/hobbyist video equipment company, I'd be terrified about what Apple does next. They already have significant penetration into the editing market (both with Final Cut, and codec design), they control a number of

Some sensors do this internally, unusual though. The rest of the high-end ones apply curves manually in software directly at the egress of the sensor. The reason they don't in all cases is that it complicates black level correction, ga

I've been using Kicad for the same workloads as you, and Altium + Cadence for heavier ones over the years, and I must say they hit the nail on the head here with their comments about KiCad: https://horizon-eda.readthedocs.io

Also, there is significant political opposition to this, specifically in the Victorian highlands.

Seconded it not being about safety. In Victoria, traffic infringement revenue is included in the state budget. I'm assuming that the NSW government does the same, so at $344-$457AUD per offence, this is likely just another revenue gene

Every SoC I've dealt with containing a WiFi core has a dedicated coprocessor (RPU is a common name, depending on vendor) running its' own firmware. So more likely, _that_ core would go funky, then crash. The kernel might have code

Not just the big players, I had a conversation with the administrator of the Australian ISP Bigpond about why my server was being spammed. Their response was verbatim "We blocked Digital Ocean, because we get spam from there" Even

The situation for Vivado (Xilinx) is more or less the same, Tcl for everything but terrible documentation.

Because Australian politicians are loath to invest in anything, after spending ~20 years convincing the public that government spending is bad.

This database is inaccurate, my machine was repaired early this year prior to the recall (irritatingly at my cost as the batteries were swollen). It is still listed as requiring replacement batteries via this search...

I'm trivialising the problem, but whichever station energises the grid first becomes the reference. An operating grid has what may as well be infinite inertia (it isn't infinite of course), so new stations coming online must match

Taking a quick look around, the average concentration of platinum group metals in ore seems to be ~1-15g/T, so if his calculations and findings check out, at 6.7g/T this is better than a number of commercially mined deposits...

A couple of nice ones: `gq` for re-wrapping a visually selected block of text (<shift>-v is simplest) to your text width. `=` for re-indenting a selection to your current shift-width settings etc. (or `gg=G` to just do the whole file)
