Sorry bro it's contextual.

Which is enough to cause severe relativistic precession of the orbital major/minor axes! (Schwarzschild precession)

You can accomplish better thermal mass?

Yes. Because it can be semi-insulating (straw bales) or it can be externally insulated. Mass isn't just mass ... it needs controls and energy input. A hole in the ground is attached to the ground and that's the end of the story. No control. No thermal inputs.

You would think automated test would come before your teammates work stations / commit to head.

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.

Jenkins was called Hudson from 2005 until 2011, and version control is much, much older.

I'm surprised you didn't have two or more workstations.

Sorry, the comment wasn't meant to be a personal judgement on you.

Because on HN we like titles to have information and not be click-bait. The WSJ title is prime click-bait.

It's an accurate summary with no glaring missing pieces. Your definition of "prime click-bait" is way off.

So, clickbait is fine, as long as we just editorialize the title? That's an unusual standard.

Pretty much standard for HN, there are endless mod comments explaining it. Although they make more sense if you distinguish between 'changing' and 'editorializing'.

Are you saying the new title is clickbait? How so?

Probably about a hundred different words for that in urbandictionary

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.

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.

However it did make some Spaniards wealthy

Some Spaniards, yes. Not the country.

Spain as a country was one of the most powerful and largest of that time period.

So of course the whole country benefited.

As for some spaniards profiting, of course, it was still feudal, aristocracy profited.
