Embedded development usually needs custom boards and expensive test equipment and such. Unless you have a full-on lab (high speed DSOs, logic analyzers, power supplies, SMT rework station, etc) you're probably going to be much more productive at the actual job site. Where you have all the tools and platforms needed.
K&R tells you to match a free() with every malloc(). Do so - no memory leaks. Yes, K&R doesn't teach you how to debug your code - it teaches you how to avoid the bug in the first place.
Great! So rather than overestimating today's temperatures, the models from the esteemed Climate Scientists underestimated the past! So the models are still in grave error, we're just looking at it the wrong way!
Real scientists (like Dyson) understand that you should be dubious of any claim or new theory until the data is freely available (unadulterated, at that), the model/theory is well published (no hidden code), and can be tested and agrees with actual experimental data. Otherwise it's just an unproven/unsupported hypothesis. Which is what most of the IPCC models are.
Dyson is 100% correct to be skeptical - it's the very foundation of the scientific method.
Not a troll at all. Imagine the temperatures moderated quite a bit - you'll now turn millions of acres from habitable-by-a-small-slice-of-society to habitable-by-nearly-anyone.
IF we get to the point where we have replicators and such, it's not hard to imagine we'd be able to control the climate on a global scale. Simply eliminating winter in much of Russia and Canada would double the land available for housing.
If you up the density to the average of all five boroughs of New York City, we'd all fit on the land mass of Texas. The rest of the arable land in the US could feed everyone else. And the Columbia River alone would provide all the freshwater needs of everyone. References contained here. We're not running out of resources, we have a growing problem with distribution.
Should a catastrophic plan that covers almost nothing be considered a real health care plan?
Yes, yes it should. I take the money I saved in premiums and used that for my annual checkups. I banked a large portion of it over a few years and had a savings account worth considerably more than the annual deductible. It was a completely valid - and financially sensible - approach for me. Low monthly payments to cover something big, and my savings would cover the rest. Much like I do on my car - high deductible, low payment.
Hi there, Seattle native (since relocated, about 4 years ago). The buses in Seattle seem to climb the hills rather well. Rail? Well, there's a reason there are 300+ foot deep stations in Seattle - you need the shallow grade (compared to the hills) for light rail to work. BRT can climb the hills (and if you've ever ridden the 12/13 up Madison, they do it quite speedily as well - of course, they're electric trolleys) without issue.
Uh, no. I had a $10,000 deductible - I was responsible for the first $7,500 (current bronze package is $6,300). After that it covered 100%. So now I "save" $1200 in max out-of-pocket, but I get to pay $3600 more per year. There's some savings for you!
What policy did you have, and what did you move to? I don't believe your claim at all... I went from a $110/month catastrophic plan (pre-Obamacare) to $450 "bronze" plan (post-Obamacare) and my out-of-pocket maximums are actually higher. Four times the cost, and less coverage - hurray! Oh, and that was with Lifewise of Washington.
It was kind of weird - I mean, Dick's was ALWAYS advertising for jobs at $12/hour, medical/dental paid, paid vacations, even money towards schooling and charity work. But they couldn't find workers. I wonder what a $15/hour minimum wage will do... I suspect there will still be minimum wage jobs (or over) crying out for people - but you'll still have openings because someone in Government/media will always claim "it's not enough"...
Putting "light rail" at-grade wasn't a very smart move. Neither is using rail in a city with grades that cannot be climbed by rail. Bus Rapid Transit with dedicated lanes would have been the smart move: lower cost, faster to roll out, and when the next big one hits (and it will) you can route buses around damaged lines - not so easy to do with tunnels hundreds of feet underground. But Seattle wanted to be a "world class city" and were blinded by rail (to the tune of nearly $200,000,000 per mile).
Wow. The Big Lie, big time. The explanation for those "massive fields of dead turbines" is that they do not exist, and everything you posted above is a work of fiction.
I guess the Kamaoa Wind Farm still runs? It's not been torn down as all the turbines fell into a state of disrepair. Salt laden air is amazingly corrosive...

Jony Ive has 5000 to his name! Who knew there were so many non-obvious, novel ways to change the radius on the corner of a rectangle!
Google pays a living wage in just about every location outside of the Bay area...
It's why he could only show it, not use it...
At least he's not an insensitive clod...
Didn't stop President Clinton - either time...

Finally, the year of Linux on the Desktop, now that RH will have faster-than-light communications!
Let the new engineer write in Rust, and you write a Rust interpreter in C! Both sides win, right?

I'd like to know what "predictions" have such wildly sqiggly graphs.
Highly underdamped models with way too many variables, fudge factors, and feedback loops. Like most of those making up the IPCC set.
Not a troll at all. Imagine the temperatures moderated quite a bit - you'll now turn millions of acres from habitable-by-a-small-slice-of-society to habitable-by-nearly-anyone.
You're both wrong. It's the containers full of ones and zeros that cause the weight...

I love Vietnam and Thailand - SE Asia in general! The humidity, not so much... :)
;) Born and raised in Ballard. Then moved to Lynnwood. Then moved to Edmonds. Now down to Ventura, CA - I like the sun and the warmth... :)
