Most systems to that. Empty-cab strategy is a programming option in the controller. If all cabs are idle (very rare) they are typically spread out.
This does happen. I also once worked on a destination-dispatch elevator system installed in a high-end condo building (high-end, as in concierge and parking valet for residents). Anyway... the resident's key card would…
Almost true. For many plants, a hybrid is naturally unstable, and can often be stabilized with one extra cross. (But isn't, as it serves as intellectual property protection for the seed company.) But some plants, soy…
Well, as an Iowa farm boy (and farm land owner) I have a more nuanced view. There have been hybrid maizes for many decades. It is possible to create unstable hybrids of normal field corns, which serves as a form of…
My kiddo has perfect pitch, and for them listening to a baroque period organ is kind of trippy because back in those days A was more like 436 Hz than 440. OTOH, absolute pitch means that learning a fiddle tune by ear…
> Alzheimer’s is driven by the buildup of toxic proteins called amyloid-beta. Isn't the current thinking that amyloid-beta buildup is a marker, not a cause? The therapy may be working here, but it isn't clear whether…
It was part of the culture in the 1960's, and only started to change somewhat during the 1970's. Everybody had ash trays, even in non-smoking households, so that you could bring them out for guests. Nobody gave it a…
Do we know if the pilots are OK? Yes, ejection can save your life, but even in a best-case scenario the forces on the human body are incredibly ugly. I know a former combat-rated RAF pilot that had to eject from a…
> Which CAD program? I'm confused Clue here: > Our proposed GenCAD architecture... So, at this point, it seems like this will work with all CAD programs, since they have yet to encounter any systems that they can't work…
The burning question is whether or not it qualifies as a new DXCC entity.
The thing about LR parsers is that since it is parsing bottom-up, you have no idea what larger syntactic structure is being built, so error recovery is ugly, and giving the user a sensible error message is a fool’s…
It is easy to underestimate how much one relies on senses other than vision. You hear many kinds of noises that indicate road surface, traffic, etc. You feel road surface imperfections telegraphed through the steering…
No, I don't think that will be successful. Consider a day where the temperature and humidity is just right to make tail pipe exhaust form dense fog clouds. That will be opaque or nearly so to a camera, transparent to a…
I have a wallet with a pocket for an airtag.
Well, if your manager can see your employee file (which they can.... certainly in Worlday) they will know your birthday. Oddly, at my employer, celebration of individual birthdays is discouraged, I have heard it is…
Well, these days it seems Linux drivers get enough eye-balls on them that anything meaningful is going to get looked at. Sure, I expect there are some low usage drivers in the repo that just haven't had enough mileage.…
Legal would probably tell you to purge anything older than 180 days, unless there is active discovery for a lawsuit, in which case retain until end of law suit. Retention is a legal policy issue, which may vary from…
Or… someone seeing a bunch of commercial flights over the Caribbean getting cancelled. Could be anyone from airline ops to frustrated travelers stranded in Boston.
The way I've heard it is: Being a microwave engineer is the easiest job in world. You basically only do two things, design oscillators and design amplifiers. What's the worst thing that can happen to an amplifier? It…
It is important to remember that IEEE 754 is, in practice, aspirational. It is very complex and nobody gets it 100% correct. There are so many end cases around the sticky bit, quiet vs. signaling NaNs, etc, that a…
It’s been quite some time since I’ve been in the business of writing lots of unit tests, but back in the day, I found hypothesis to be a big force multiplier and it uncovered many subtle/embarrassing bugs for me.…
Pffft.... that's what ham radio is for. (Note: humorous, not ill intent here. An old office mate of mine once kidded me that he thought ham radio was a conspiracy on the part of the world's geography teachers to get…
Yes, this is certainly true for ICE vehicles. The measurement methodology is spelled out in exacting detail, and yields highly repeatable results. Realistic? Nope, not at all. Nobody could claim that. But, it is…
In my experience as a parent, you can provide the resource but don’t need to push. Love of math will happen if it has the right environment. For a 7yo I might suggest looking onto Epsilon camp, and Art of Problem…
Pretty much. A strongly predicted branch is as fast as straight-line code, for most practical purposes (in modern processors). It is the mis-predicted branch that causes a pipeline flush and a re-fetch and so forth. The…
