No, it’s not contextual. “Company X made $N billion dollars” only means one thing, net income.
Sorry bro it's contextual.

The closest approaching star found so far is estimated to be traveling at 8% of the speed of light at closest approach.
Which is enough to cause severe relativistic precession of the orbital major/minor axes! (Schwarzschild precession)

Did I mention this was 15 years ago? Software development back then looked very different than it does now, especially in Wincore. There was none of this "Cloud-native development" stuff that we all know and love today. GitHub was just about 1 year old. Jenkins wouldn't be a thing for another 2 years.
In this case the "automated test" flipped all kinds of configuration options with repeated reboots of a physical workstation. It took hours to run the tests, and your workstation would be constantly rebooting, so you wouldn't be accomplishing anything else for the rest of the day. It was faster and cheaper to require 8 devs to rollback to yesterday's build maybe once every couple of quarters than to snarl the whole development process with that.
The tests still ran, but they were owned and run by a dedicated test engineer prior to merging the branch up.
Sorry, the comment wasn't meant to be a personal judgement on you.

Nice being there in the event of a flood.
You can accomplish better insulation and thermal mass above the ground, while having better ventilation and less humidity.
You can accomplish better thermal mass?

> Even then the "blast radius" was only the BitLocker team with about 8 devs, since local changes were qualified at the team level before they were merged up the chain.
Up the chain to automated test machines, right?
You would think automated test would come before your teammates work stations / commit to head.
The title was correct yesterday. Why is the title editorialized today?
"What Does Nevada’s $35 Billion Fund Manager Do All Day? Nothing"
This is the actual title of the article, the page, and the printed version. There was no reason to have edited this except for optics. If true, that's absurd, dang.
Because on HN we like titles to have information and not be click-bait. The WSJ title is prime click-bait.
Purely linguistic question here. What is the word for having a sexual fantasy about someone? Since this must happen a lot, I'm wondering if all languages have a single (transitive?) verb for it. If not, then why not?
Probably about a hundred different words for that in urbandictionary
What would be a comparable early computer with the same computational power? Amazing to think how a machine the size of a room is now only a penny!
This chip:
8 MHz, 8 bit processing
1K x 14 bits EPROM.
48 bytes SRAM.
6 general purpose I/O pins (GPIO), PB[5:0], with independent direction control.
In comparison to the usual suspects like Apollo guidance computer or TI-83, it has a higher clock speed but shorter word length and extremely limited ram and memory. Precisely due to the cost engineering - this is meant to run simple, limited size programs.
No, they _are_ tested during manufacturing.
> Honestly, this is where I'd love RISC-V to be making inroads
A 32-bit CPU is way too big for this price point still.
With small chips like this do you think they would test at a high sampling level?

Elon cashing out to pay interest on his margin loan. Could be he finally doesn't want to sell any more Tesla stock.
