"Failed Jepsen tests" is relative; Kyle tends to be quite thorough in his Jepsen tests, so can usually find some issue in even the best of databases. The big difference is in how severe the difference between claims and reality ar

Mostly you still have to use their tools, Chisel just compiles to Verilog and then you use their tools for the rest of the process. There are open source tools based on reverse engineering the bitstream for some smaller FPGAs like the Latti

You use the same process as for deciding if changes to rustc are compliant or not; the judgement of the language and compiler teams. And running into these kinds of questions, both in a single project that evolves over time (rustc) and a se

Yeah, WASM was the result of taking a look at NaCl, realizing it could never be specified and independently implemented, and writing a spec for something better that could. WASM is superior in pretty much all ways to NaCl other than being a

I'm a bit confused by why you are confused. It's surprising that something as simple as reading a file is slower in the Rust standard library as the Python standard library. Even knowing that a Python standard library call like th

They are using FreeRTOS, communicating over a CAN bus using CANopen. Looks like this is a shutdown routine, shutting down various devices. They seem to have separate tasks for propulsion control and GPS. Pretty standard fare for a vehicle c

Failure doesn't work that way. It's not the case that there's a constant 1/5 probability of failure each year. Many failure modes are based on cumulative stress/degradation; so the probability of failure can go up o

Corollary: P does not mean easy. Most things that you do on the computer, you want to be O(n) or less; maybe O(n log n) or even O(n log^x n), but no slower than that. That means if you get a bigger problem, you can generally just get a prop
