The little I know about RF circuits and inductors is that within 10% is usually fine. Off by 30% though means your RF circuit isn't centered anymore. With the IC mentioned the RF receive path was hosed. The guy that did the inductor design also had the issue that a simulation took about 8 hours.

In their case once they knew how far off the inductors were with the process being used they were able to adjust the target inductance and then do a re-layout (couple of 80 hours weeks, and another full set of masks, no problem). I think part of the problem was that for the previous geometry and design frequency 1GHZ they were using their tool gave good results. New geometry and 2.4GHZ and it was wrong. No way to test either.
General Colin Powell warned George Bush before the Iraq war, "You break it, you buy it..."

Two months before the invasion of Iraq, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell warned President Bush about the potential negative consequences of a war, citing what Mr. Powell privately called the ''you break it, you own it'' rule of military action, according to a new book.

''You're sure?'' Mr. Powell is quoted as asking Mr. Bush in the Oval Office on Jan. 13, 2003, as the president told him he had made the decision to go forward. ''You understand the consequences,'' he is said to have stated in a half-question. ''You know you're going to be owning this place?...''

I'll bite.

It's not political. In fact, it has nothing to do with this.

You're free to support Donald Trump, but it has nothing to do with the failure of Japanese satellites. Personally, I don't want to hear about the presidential election right now. I didn't come here for that.

So I assume the downvotes are because you're way off topic and because your comments are barely coherent.

You think people here are "triggered" or something... You're the only one making a big deal out of a single off topic comment. We can still see your comments. Moving you to the bottom of a thread isn't quite censorship.

Do what you want. Just don't act so surprised when people don't take you seriously.
There is a lot of comments in the Devuan thread [1] and they will be here too, but we mostly skip over the actual problem systemd creates: very important parts of the Linux ecosystem becoming tightly coupled as to form a huge blob of programs where one either uses all or none. For one, I use Unix [2] as a productivity tool, not as a server, so I interact with init stuff very rarely. Thus I want a system that's easy to configure and debug. Systemd is the exact opposite of that, so I don't want to use it. But if I don't want to use it, now I have to find an alternative to or modify all the stuff that depends on it. If it was only an init script that I had to replace, that's okay, but there are tighter coupling between unrelated components and systemd. I've read that Gnome people consider having it as a dependency. Udev is so tightly coupled that Gentoo had to make a fork. But it should be enough to write a new startup script for switching to another init system, not fork the entire program I want to use. This is the problem with systemd.

What (if anything) are people's thoughts on runit? I started trying out Void Linux a couple of days ago, which uses it by default. I haven't spent a whole lot of time reading up on it, but from my initial understanding of it, it seems to avoid the issues that people seem to have with both systemd and sysinitv. (Of course, it might just be that it's not used by enough people for anyone to have strong negative opinions about it)

Is there a citation for women in general being attracted to power? Or perhaps you're just reinforcing gender stereotypes that are convenient for the narrative you're spinning?
I agree with you that on the fundamental level I don’t like the idea of rights being perpetually limited on the basis of being a convicted felon. As far as I’m concerned once a person has served their sentence, including parole, they have paid their debt to society in full and shouldn’t be barred from exercising any rights that non felons enjoy. This isn’t limited solely to the right to bear arms but also the right to vote, which many states still bar for convicted felons. If we as a society are so uncomfortable with the people who have paid their debt that we deem they must be prevented from exercising their rights even after serving their sentence, then perhaps it’s time we take a hard look at the failings of our “corrections” system.

On a hypothetical level, even if I did support the current laws barring convicted felons of certain rights in perpetuity, I would still have a problem with the way this is being administered today. I’ve read some pretty damning reports on some of the discriminatory practices that continue at the institutional level within the broader criminal justice system which seem to primarily affect certain segments of our population. Poor people, particularly minorities and specifically black males, face some very specific challenges when it comes to things like selective enforcement, pretrial plea bargains, rates of conviction and length of sentencing. At this point I can’t really describe our justice system as anything but blatantly discriminatory.

Even in a more equitable and just system, I personally wouldn’t support the taking away of rights in perpetuity, and I certainly don’t support it when it seems to have such a deliberate and specific impact on certain groups.

No, I didn't because I didn't want systemd-coredump to handle (and grab) core dumps in the first place and existing discussions and bug reports didn't appear to miss public awareness of the issue. Also previous experience with the maintainers left a bad taste in my mouth. I should be more professional, but the mental barrier to engage with the systemd community is rather high. I cannot say the same about other freedesktop teams with which I regularly communicate in bugzilla.
The discussion was already made a thousand times about pratically all the points, from why there is no issue to udev being an external project and not supporting exclusively systemd (with an additional "fuck you gentoo developers" in the ML), to extreme appetite to fagocitate everything as fast as humanly possible, to pretty big bugs ("oh sorry, journald is not fast enough to write your gigabyte-sized core dump, let me cut it in half using this constant I randomly decided was good enough!" left alone for years) and to all the problems of the design of systemd [1]. Maybe it is my impression, but this blog post cheapens it - a lot.

Sure, it was pushed hard by RH (inspired by Sun's SMF), it had some (quick) wins, it solved (some) issues for distro mantainers - though they have to remember to patch some components to not use defaults that make no sense, like google NTP servers - and the DEs jumped on it because it simplified mantaining their code (making them not portable in the process, but who cares!). It seems it "won"... Like HAL did win, a lot of time ago, in a similar way (IIRC).

We'll see. It's not that heavily deployed in production yet.

...and looking for this online, it turns out this is a feature in the experimental Dotty compiler. Yay.

And yeah, right-biased either would get halfway there. But it's really the terminology and naming that I have an issue. If I could get an Either knockoff that just called its left and right "error" and "success", that would go a long way to readability.

I'm not sure what you'd expect to be reassured of, that cops are less likely to die of car accidents and gunshots than the average person? My point isn't that they have no increased risk, my point is that the level of risk in reality isn't nearly as high as people seem to think - and warrants no special deference.

> I'm not the OP, but OpenRC is nice. I'm currently suffering from a round tuit shortage, so I haven't waded through the Debian Jessie discussion to find out why it wasn't a contender for their default init/rc system.

It was a contender; it appeared on the Technical Committee ballot alongside sysvinit, upstart, and systemd. Seven of the eight members of the technical committee indicated a preference for OpenRC over sysvinit, just not over upstart or systemd.

To keep this in perspective, note the following quotes (which careful reader should seek in the original article because here they have the risk of being taken out of context):

> ... we want to note that the sample of the present study probably is not representative of the US as our study is restricted to the specific sample of Amazon Mechanical Turk workers and has a relatively small sample size for an online survey. Thus, one cannot make inferences about the entire population of the US ...

> Favorable views of Republican candidates and conservatism were not significantly related to profoundness ratings of mundane statements. In contrast, this was the case for Hillary Clinton and Martin O’Malley.

> Overall, small-to-medium sized correlations were found, indicating that far from all conservatives see profoundness in bullshit statements.

> We base our study on the empirically supported assumption found in other research that conservatives (vs. liberals) are less likely to use a reflective and critical thinking mode [8,9], a mode that is necessary to detect the vacuity of pseudo-profound bullshit statements [1].

The reason that the government wanted the Clipper chip was to make it possible for police agencies to listen in on the encrypted communications of suspected criminals, often ones whose activities would certainly involve the possibility of people dying.

Both cases are examples of government attempting to interfere with a technology to further some legitimate public government interest (catching criminals, reducing accidents) while compromising the private interests of citizens (effective self-defense, privacy).

The original book, Schindler's Ark, was written by a man (Thomas Keneally), as was the screenplay (Steven Zaillian).

Putting that aside, you seem to be under the impression that there's some kind of Hollywood conspiracy, when in fact when you're adapting a novel you usually leave out a bunch of stuff. You stick with what's important. Despite what you might think, Schindler's List is not meant to be read as a story where the gun is the hero. You would be rather missing the point of it to take that view.

The problem with your suggestion of moving to Somalia: if you want government, move to North Korea. Do you see the absurdity?

> And re: crypto making government "irrelevant", to use your word, that's not how it works.

It makes it irrelevant by making it more costly for government to remain in control, not by making physical extortion impossible. If you can't easily tax people by just looking into their bank account and finding out whether they owe you tax money, then you need to physically send a police officer to each household to check for Bitcoin wallets or gold or whatever represents value. That's costly.

> If you want good governance that respects individual freedom, you have to work for it. "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

Work != voting and believing in democracy with all its bells and whistles. Work means respecting other people's freedom and being able to protect your own. Thinking only government is able to protect people's freedom is like thinking only a slaveowner can provide food and shelter for the slaves.
All 20th Century gun confiscations I can think of, aside from the Chinese Communists' rifle tax system, were preceded by registration. Nazi Germany most infamously, and in occupied territories like the Netherlands failure to produce yours would result in your entire family being summarily shot in the village square. But also Cuba after Castro took power, or less dire (so far), the U.K. bit by bit. Or closer to home, California, after the AG decided that SKSes were banned after all.

Last time I checked, which was decades ago, the national ACLU, which has no respect for the 2nd Amendment at all, did have such a 4th Amendment objection.

If it's about politics, a lot of that extra stuff will be to make it non-bypassable. That said, just how many people are getting shot with their own gun as a component of overall firearm murders?

Don't forget the power supply, and don't undercalculate antenna design needs (it probably won't work incorporated into the handle of a pistol). The electrical draw will probably need to be pretty beefy in order to be as reliable as the rest of the gun's mechanisms, and what happens when the gun is being carried or stored in -20C temperatures? What about off-hand shooting when your normal shooting hand is unusable or it's dangerous to shoot from your normal side?

In order to be both universal and not introduce unreliability, the solenoid would likely have to be introduced as a secondary safety. How many firearm designs would even support a secondary safety?

Let me decide it.

If I don't want to use it, I should be able to swap it out. I shouldn't have to patch Gnome, udev, and whatnot to not use systemd.

I don't have problems with systemd, what I feat is essential parts of GNU and Linux infrastructure becoming directly dependent on it, at the actual software level.
mpweiher could mean implementation theory, so things like how to write better compiler analysis and optimisations and things like that, but in the academic and research community I think that just isn't thought of as coming under the term 'programming language theory'. It's not thought unimportant, it's just a different topic, more grouped under 'systems'.

Looking at mpweiher's profile it looks like he might be interested in things like metaprogramming and object protocols - again they're seen as either part of the software engineering or systems disciplines rather than PLT.
Not clear. Prior to Scalia's death, on the ground if you don't count Illinois, which was not appealed to the Supremes, and California and Hawaii, where it looks like the appeals court will overturn the current shall issue decision en banc, on the ground there's been no changes, because the Supremes have denied cert to every case appealed to them aside from the Massachusetts stun gun case just decided.

The bottom line is that Heller and McDonald mean we have a right to keep some types of arms, and bear them inside our homes, nothing more. And surely you've noticed how replacing Scalia is claimed by gun-grabbers as a necessary step towards reversing, de facto or de jure, both of those decisions, e.g. http://thehill.com/regulation/277248-chelsea-clinton-scotus-...
For some reason, this reminded me of the Mastermind from the Atavist series.
This makes me think of how fun it would be to have some sort of service that would show you your own past code and see if you'd rate it good/bad. Then you could correct what you think is bad, and it'd be fed right back into the corpus. Leveraging some kind of spaced repetition approach, it could be an interesting experiment to measure the way you grow, change, improve, and regress as a developer.
