Working through an academic OS class where you implement interrupt handling is super helpful for that - hardware interrupts and software interrupts are similar but not quite the same and actually writing the interrupt handlers makes some things clear.

I can endorse MIT's 6.828 (I've taken it and taught a version if it), which (at least before this semester, they seem to be redoing things) has a lab about setting up interrupt handling: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2018/labs/lab3/ It's entirely possible to complete the labs on your own, and doing labs 1-3 is worthwhile, but it's also a significant time commitment.

Watchdog timers fall in the category of "there is so much" - they're not crucial to how network drivers work, but drivers in a production OS have to care about every feature that might interact with them. :(
Yet another one hits the Google Graveyard https://www.saashub.com/google-graveyard
I've tried to make adaptive Kalman filters work, and it's not easy. For something like a rocket, the covariance of all the sensors is very low while it's sitting on the launch pad. As soon as you light the engines, the covariances jump up. So an adaptive filter will try to adjust its weights during the first few seconds of flight, which is a terrible time to change everything.

Usually it's better to lock down all the filter coefficients.

Also, an adaptive Kalman filter measures noise on each input to estimate error, usually by looking at the autocovariance. This turns out to be maximally bad when a sensor fails and emits a constant value, because the autocovariance becomes zero and the adaptive filter will decide it's the most accurate of all the inputs and weight it heavily.

Before a Kalman filter, you need redundant sensors and logic to discard ones that disagree with the majority.

Angular rate sensors and accelerometers are cheap and light, so I'm sure they have at least 3 sets. Maybe 5.
Yes, you can make them completely and totally bulletproof.

Just encase each of them in a million tons of concrete, or so.

>in no way is an upright pentagram 'Satanic'.

Broadly speaking, though I think it does depend on context. For instance, if practicing Satanists have attached a sacrificial victim to an upright pentagram, in order to worship Satan, then even if there may be a symbolic error on their part, that particular upright pentagram could safely be called Satanic and Satan would probably overlook the oversight.
I run a SAAS for forwarding email addresses in order to protect email addresses by handing out individualised burner addresses that you can block if people start to abuse them with uninvited mail.

For a weekend project, I added some functionality to publish the blocked emails as an RSS feed - and now I think it's one of the best features of my service.

I use a separate address for things like linkedin, facebook, twitter, steam, github etc. and I turned on the email notifications. Then I blocked those addresses and subscribe to them as RSS feeds instead. Now I can read that stuff during my normal RSS reading flow instead of having it end up in my inbox.

There's a link in my bio to the service if you want to check it out (not sure about HN rules about recommending my own service). Yes, you can use your own domain to avoid being locked in to my service.
I doubt that most human drivers are good enough to avoid a collision in that situation. You will always be able to come up with a scenario that will fool a computer; you can also always come up with a scenario that will fool a human driver.

The standard isn't "perfect under all conditions", it's "better than a human". Humans are, honestly, pretty bad at driving. The bar is not that high, perhaps unfortunately.

Every single piece Wolfram writes, without exception, is arrogant content marketing blogspam. Even his books. Sometimes very clever, sometimes interesting (though I'd find him 1,000x more interesting if say 1 article in 10 made no mention of how clever he and Mathematica are); always arrogant and self-promotional. This piece is no exception - because it's Turing I made exception to my usual personal hard-ban on reading Wolfram. It's no exception to the above. It is, however, interesting despite being arrogant and self-promotional.

If you asked Stephen Wolfram what time it was, he would be arrogant and self-promotional, and mention Mathematica at least as much as the time.

Is "graph picture book" the new medium for conspiracy theory videos or something?
Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, MA, is now posting advertisements for new employees throughout the city's bus terminals since there appears to be no end to the money that they can steal from taxpayers, regardless of how criminally negligent they are in spending it. Draper has recently started to heavily prioritize affirmative action over technical competence in its hiring decisions and internal promotions. The advantage of this for someone seeking an "easy job" is that the managers often cannot tell what is real from what is complete bullshit, including how many hours it took to complete whatever useless form of busywork that you were assigned for the week. As a case in point, the kind of junk research that Draper recently asked a Northeastern graduate student to undertake is described more fully here: https://news.northeastern.edu/2013/02/27/a-radar-for-emotion...

As others have said here, autoscaling has gotchas. I won't recount those reasons, but there are two other relevant points:

1) Check out the graph in the 'An illuminating graph' section. The connection rate spikes by a factor of 3 in the space of 5 seconds (and that's actually a consolidated average over a number of hours; the worst spikes at the top of the hour are even bigger). We'd need super-responsive, practically magic autoscaling, or pro-active auto-scaling that does so at known intervals (every hour, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc). But given that the actual CPU usage doesn't really vary that much over those timescales (it all sort of evens out once the connections are made and git takes over), auto-scaling just to add more connection slots in SSH would be a poor use of resources, when we can just increase MaxStartups as far as necessary.

2) We do want to autoscale, and will in the medium-term future, because the access patterns at a weekly scale are quite variable and predictable, and we can save a lot of resources by scaling down at the weekends (or even the EMEA evenings) when the bulk of our users go home and stop creating MRs, and it's only bots, CI, and cron jobs (I jest, but it feels like that some days). But not because of the issue described in the blog post
Very few humans can directly perceive more than maybe 10 individual items in a group without counting. If you're telling me you can show a toddler a group of 157 dots and have them say "157", I don't believe you.

If birth defects are passed on from parent genes, I don't think abortion can explain a constant rate of decrease. It can explain it in the 'kill all the defective' sense (Iceland), but not 'cleaning the gene pool' sense.
>That's only true if you didn't read the next two sentences.

I understood it well. What we both agree on is that it will make them feel bad. What we disagree on is this statement of yours:

>This will tend to make them more interested in leaving the company.

Now I don't want to claim 0 correlation. There sometimes is a weak correlation. There is also often a negative correlation (they'll stay longer at Facebook with guilt tripping than with no peer pressure at all). I'm not an academic, so I don't have the studies at hand.

>I'm sure guilt and shame don't work well in negotiations. I don't know whether that translates to shaping society or influencing your friends.

It's a fallacy to treat negotiations as distinct from friendship. I think you're confusing bargaining with negotiations. You engage in negotiations with almost every person you interact with - friends, spouses, children, parents, coworkers, charities, etc. Want to have dinner with a friend? When and where? That's a negotiation. An ordinary person will negotiate a few times a week at a minimum. The discipline of negotiations encompass these interactions.

Negotiations courses/books often spend time on how your negotiation strategy will impact your relationship with the other person, and which strategies may help or harm the relationship. They don't suggest one never use guilt tripping - they merely suggest not to use it if you want to maintain a relationship with the other person.

> Do you think MOStek would have been able to survive in today's legal environment? I don't think so, and that's what worries me.

What’s different about “today’s environment?” If anything patent rights are weaker today—back in 1976, there were no ex parte or inter partes reexams to challenge patents in the PTO. You had to challenge patent validity in district court, where the patent was accorded a presumption of validity and a high “clear and convincing” standard was necessary to overcome that presumption.

Looking briefly at the case history, it seems like the litigation with Motorola would have played out the same way today. Motorola had patents in the 6800 chip bus. As a result of the litigation, MOStek had to drop the 6501, which was socket compatible with the 6800. But the 6502 was a substantially different architecture internally, and was not socket compatible. (Moreover, that lawsuit settled when Motorola got the upper hand when it discovered that one of the MOStek’s engineers had taken confidential documents with him from Motorola. Taking confidential documents with you, which is what happened here, wasn’t okay back then either.)
I never read up much on his payouts until now, but it's extra baffling to me since I interviewed with the self driving car team back in 2015 and was told all the engineers had to start as contractors hired through an outside firm until they got budget approval to bring them on full time. It already seemed bizarre to me for such a high profile project at rich company, but seems especially indefensible now.
I think maybe someone should tell the crows to stop eating stuff off the ground first. :)

Why does almost every study I ever read make me pipe up with "correlation or causation"?

I mean, smog means big cities, noise, stress, traffic, little open space or green spaces and parks. The more smog, the more likely these things are present due to the nature of city management and the connection between traffic and smog.

It might be the smog, it might be one of many things it often comes with, likely some combination of all environmental factors.

G Suite and Google Cloud are very different. GSuite is the enterprise version of the consumer apps which have billions of users so it's not going anywhere. Google Cloud has potential to meet or exceed adtech revenue and has some very big commercial customers.

It's these smaller apps that suffer because $400/month isn't enough to make a difference at Google scale. They do have a mandate to keep innovating but it's a strange cycle where the company produces some great software and then abandons it due to lack of success, because it's already too successful.
Calling Raptor "really complex" still manages to undersell it a bit, in my opinion. It's pushing the state of the art in rocket engine design pretty significantly. It's the first full flow closed cycle engine to fly.

I think this article unnecessarily conflates the pre-rendering techniques used for JS-heavy websites with what I would call a static website build/compile process.

> I see your point about residential being stacked as well. However the marginal increase in supply of real estate by taking 10% of what's used by parking hardly seems sufficient to make a dent in the supply/demand curve of the market.

Well, the article claims a 20-33% increase in the number of housing units for developments without parking, so say 2-3% more housing. IIRC the economists reckon it's about a 2:1 ratio between supply change and price change, so a 4-7% drop in the price of equally valuable housing. That may not be revolutionary but it would be a significant difference for a lot of people. Cities put a lot of effort into policies with much smaller effects.

> As for eliminating free parking, I think it would have a disproportionate effect on people at the lower end of income. Everyone else can absorb the cost. Even if that isn't the case, the effect would be to push more people to mass transit. That's not a bad thing, but mass transit is already unable to keep up with needs.

Fewer private cars on the road would speed up buses (which would mean the same number of buses could transport more people) and make cyclists safer, and it's actually the lowest income people - those who are already living without a car - who benefit the most there. And densification by replacing parking spaces with homes and workplaces would reduce the pressure on all kinds of transport, by making it easier for people to live closer to where they work.

This is one of the more frustrating limitations of the iOS mobile browser I’ve had to deal with.

That being said, I also eat significant amounts of junk food. Slice of cake is like 500-800 calories. No problem. I can do that x 3 after a meal of normal stuff. Junk is easy to throw down and calorie dense. Also, its fun to eat.

This is common in Australia and there are some problems. Any faulty goods purchased here are to be returned to the merchant (rather than manufacturer) and some of them make this very difficult by providing a local sender but a foreign 'return' address. I'm pretty sure it's not strictly legal, but it's too annoying in most cases to fight it.

It also gives them a local business address so they can advertise local shipping but a lot of the time you have to wait for the next cargo shipment to come in so something that should take a few days now takes a week or two. This can be helped with reviews but we all know how those get gamed now with sellers flooding reviews or shutting down and starting as a new account.

These are both differences that arise from a business not having a real local presence, but just the bare minimum presence 'for show'. Luckily, most of them are fairly inept and make themselves obvious on eBay by pasting Australian flags and Koalas all over their store pages :)
Although the series might expose how corruption works in Brazil, keep in mind there's plenty of controversy and (valid, imo) accusations of partisanship in the way the show portrays certain politicians and situations, which even if based in real life, have switched characters and quotes, effectively targeting an specific political party.
