Why is there no mention of PTP here? If you want accurate time synchronisation in a network just use the correct tool, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol Linux PTP ( https://linuxptp.source

Yeah there is a solution. Build more housing. It's a political issue and nothing more

No. That's not what the "British" mean.

I suspect people don't like comparing with the Netherlands because it doesn't support their biases in this argument

So all drivers should be required to wear a helmet? If not, why not ?
12.
by diarmuidc 4y ago
That's a fallacious argument. There is no activity that could not be made more safe by wearing a helmet. Yet we don't because the arguments like yours are simple and wrong.

That experiment has been tried and failed already in Australia.

Why would you compare disc brakes to cars? Why not compare them to the rim brakes they are replacing. An order of magnitude more complicated to maintain

by diarmuidc 4y ago
No it's not irrelevant. If helmet wearing is linked to higher per capita head injuries, mandatory helmet wearing should be discouraged.

Doesn't really bust the myth, though does it? Just says that the 10x engineer is a sign that the company may be in trouble, depending too heavily in such engineers. From 25 years in electronic engineering, I guarantee that there are so

"The board gets fairly warm, likely due to the overhead of the PoE+ power conversion (which consumes 6-7W on its own!" 7 W of losses? That's either wrong or insane for DC/DC regulation. Rough figures, pi4CM (5W) + NVMe (

Microsemi have the PolarFireSOC which has 4x RISC-V hard cores in the FPGA. I have an eval board on my desk

How big is your CPU. I develop on Microsemi and the PolarFire range should do it. 12G transcievers and a decent amount of logic. At about €200+. And considering Microsemi are usually behind the curve, Xilinx and Altera must have similar ht

Migen looks good but avoiding HDLs while trying to learn hardware design is not the best learning approach. They might be ugly languages but the do force your to think in hardware and gates.

A professional athlete doesn't need a simple metric to understand if he's at his ideal weight. It's part of his job. The general public do need a simple metric which covers 95% of the population. BMI is that.

That's not the networking performance though. RP4 can hit line speed on Gb Ethernet: pi@kodi:~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Rasp Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1 pi@kodi:~ $ uname -a Linux kodi 5.4.72-v7l+ #1356

FPGA is definitely my number one requirement, that's why I have it

I've a PolarFire SOC eval board on my desk at the moment. 4x U54 cores. Only started to play with it but lots of kernel panics so far. Not sure where the issue is just yet but hopefully it'll get more stable over the next year

Playing devils advocate, if you were able to learn your native language with out an understanding of the grammar, why can't you learn a foreign language?

Sure but you have to use it long enough for the stings to get loose. What percentage of tennis racket purchases are used more than once?

All jobs will have downsides, I guess you just want to find one where you can live with the downsides and the upsides far out weight them. For me, I moved between a number of unfulfilling roles until I ended up in my current position. The t
