Being tasked to implement a specification typically means having to pass extensive conformance tests and having to answer for instances of noncompliance. You soon learn to follow the spec to the letter, to the best of your abilities, unless you can make a strong case to your management for each specific deviation.
Your latest AAA open world RPG on the other hand? Yeah, you're probably going to have better luck in Proton even if it gets a native Linux port.

Delta 2 rocket exploded during launch, raining flaming debris everywhere and the announcer says we had an anomaly
They way they're trying to solve it is very similar to this article, by doing the USB-PD negotiation during U-boot bootloader stage:

- The crash was in a FPU that Chrome barely uses
- The instruction that crashed Chrome was thousands of instructions away from the one that triggered the exception
- The instruction that triggered the exception was not at fault
- The crash only happened because of third-party code running inside of Chrome
- The crash was ultimately found to be caused by a code-gen bug in Visual Studio 2015
I've run into this kind of thing once myself (sharing a process with other companies is fun!). It was real confusing to get a stack trace showing our code suddenly crashing on a line of code that was doing the exact same thing with the exact same values as it had always done before.[1]: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/everything-old-...

As a space engineer this is very wrong, no satellite solution can beat the reliability or throughput of a submarine DWDM fiber. Satellites are vulnerable to solar storms, cosmic radiation, nuclear attacks, jamming and a lot of other external factors while fiber cables are safely buried / submerged, protected against those kind of problems. Except for ship anchors and fiber seeking backhoes.
Another thing is that satellite to ground downlinks are still using RF, which is getting congested. You can work around that by going to optical downlinks to get the speed, and in ideal world you can have DWDM fiber speed that way. But got a cloudy sky and you lose your connection
Once you apply vibe-engineering to everything how we can even keep anything working beyond 1 year warranty. You can't RMA space probes.
But maybe we should send 50000 cheap (fr)agile probes like Starlinks into deep space and push updates randomly. Maybe just one makes it over 50 years mark.
Ah, and we should call it Starsperm. I think I should add "/s" here.
> StarChip is the name used by Breakthrough Initiatives for a very small, centimeter-sized, gram-scale, interstellar spacecraft envisioned for the Breakthrough Starshot program,[1][36] a proposed mission to propel a fleet of a thousand StarChips on a journey to Alpha Centauri, the nearest star system, about 4.37 light-years from Earth
FPGA toolchains are infamous for one of the worst and cursed toolchains in the world. Where writing tcl scripts to imperatively connects blocks together in a block diagram that will integrate all the verilog code is not just normal, but encouraged. Because their internal block diagram description file is git hostile
