OK, yes there's often correlation but that's it. A longer pipeline doesn't affect max circuit frequency.

The other sibling comment regarding distance isn't true. regardless of how insane your feedbacks are. Physical placement tools have always handled this in my experience (as a chip designer for 10+ years).

In terms of GDPR/privacy, is there any issue when posting private data to a 3rd-party server (i.e. webhooks) vs having that 3rd-party query your server? Or can you just say that once a secure webhook subscription is established you are off the hook (pun not intentional)?

Strava has an API like that but combines it with an insanely low daily rate-limit which makes retrieving the changed data difficult for anything other than personal apps. But that's totally an issue with their brain-dead policy rather than the idea.

Airbus Beluga 5 years ago

Thanks so much for the tip. I looked at it but it's all folded on the mobile view and I totally missed it. However, the beluga xl article holds no information regarding this that I can see.

Other than other vehicles and containers, this is pretty cool:

In 1999, a Beluga carried a large painting, Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix,[20] which had hung in the Louvre in Paris since 1874

There are also now 6 Beluga XLs with approx 30% larger cargo hold than original Beluga.

I'm curious if Airbus ever lease them out to others for transporting big things other than wings.

Do these community supported SDK/APIs ever work? In my experience (Strava and Spotify APIs) it's an excuse for the company to release a load of half-baked crap and then wash their hands of supporting it. Allowing them to tick the box that they offer a public API and make themselves look better. Despite members of the public donating their time to help each other, without participation from the company itself it's all trial and error development with everyone running into the same bugs that never get fixed.

It's great that some companies have finally recognised the value in providing public SDK/APIs but they should be investing in supporting them also.

Sure, but that's normally the sort of adverting that goes along with a big advertising spend. I had imagined almost all their advertising exposure is from giving product away for people to review, and of course the charity aspect got headlines originally. I suppose you might say the silly low price of the pi zero was a form of advertising. I don't think they'll do a stunt like that again.

i agree it can be done but it's a fragile balancing act. What I don't agree with is that Rust provides anything particularly special allowing you to do this.

"low-latency processing of IO input" may well be talking about hard realtime stuff, for which threads/async on a single core doesn't help you.

I wish I could transfer my incredible raspberry pi luck to the actual lottery. I'd have won so many times.

In reality, fully working raspberry pi boards are normal. I must have at least 10. I admit I no longer use the original model (so slow) but last time I tried it worked just fine. I think that's pretty great for the money, especially considering the state of the market before they came along which I think you might be forgetting.
