I can use all of those today or develop a new implementation if I want.
He who controls the spice....
Vendors come and go. Standards don't.
Isn't this the same principle google uses for their location services?
This sums it up nicely. Also, if it's easy and you've done it a million times, charge an inflated fixed price. If it's new territory, charge by the hour. Edit: before I forget, if you let them know how it's done then…
One doesn't win a game of chess by moving all the pieces at the same time.
Excellent. Downloading now :) I ran NetBSD and OpenBSD on old sun kit in the late 1990s and early 2000's followed by Debian and then CentOS. FreeBSD got a look in persistently on the side. I'd rather like a step back to…
This is interesting and lines up with the time zone offset on my last rant a couple of years back. Peak in upvotes UK afternoon followed by downvote pummelling at around 4pm UK time. Without wishing to don the tinfoil…
Interesting. I haven't used slackware for many years, so far back in fact that it had to come on CDs because I had a dial up. Will take a look in that direction this evening.
That's really interesting actually. In the distant past I spent more time sorting the cards than playing the game so there is probably a good trade off on automating it. I went and bought a duel deck the other day to…
There's a good implementation of systemd here: https://github.com/bluerise/openbsd/tree/master/sbin/init
Well no not really. Vulnerabilities exist outside the realms of the language implementations. There are poorly designed protocols and access controls to contend with as well. I'd argue there are a lot more of those…
This is why we need standards and APIs which are immutable. It doesn't matter what the implementation is then. The whole of systemd is a comedic fuck you to POSIX and the mentality of a system which is standardised.
I apologise. This is the first time I've criticised systemd on HN. I had a massive rant on another site a couple of years ago when CentOS 7 dropped about the catalogue of failures I had been through with systemd,…
To be fair Win32 isn't terrible. Have you looked at the .Net docs? http://imgur.com/a/iK4uG
Most of the documentation is boilerplate. There's very little real content now and most of it is filler.
Yes. I've burned hours on systemd related problems that just didn't exist before. From DBus message delivery failures, debugging things that haven't broken for 20 years (which has incidentally got MUCH harder) to the…
Indeed. It's not just init, it's Windows service manager, COM, MSMQ, task scheduler and event log and all the associated problems in one convenient package for Linux!
http://www.edn.com/Pdf/ViewPdf?contentItemId=4433411 Details above. Looks like you can get 3.5ps resolution with an off the shelf PIC after calibration which is pretty impressive!
This is a really cool idea actually. However you're likely talking sub nanosecond rise times which makes things a little difficult in the signal processing space. For example my scope (knackered old 1971 Tek 475) can…
I get shamed occasionally for never having a Facebook account. It's amazing how mindshare drives market share really and gets people to react like this. Genuinely I couldn't work out how it improved my life in any way.…
Yes this is a favourite bit of reddit for me. Highly recommended :)
I don't think many people read the data sheets to be honest even some of the professional engineers. It's mainly gluing canned circuits together and see if they work or not. This is a little difficult if you didn't…
Take a look at the output switching on different variants of 555s (there are about 6). This isn't always the case. Not only that if you pull lots of current through them, and 100mA is a lot, then the Pd of the sink…
Yeah the Tektronix HV probes used to come with an aerosol can and you had to fill them up. Technically frequency compensation is required across all voltage dividers for scopes so not to accidentally create a low pass…
