Had to send him to Japan. He was the guy that used the GOTO in a C program. I told him to NEVER use a GOTO. But he did. GOTO in C does not mind the stack. From: Chuck McCown via AF Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2024 10:22 AM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Cc: ch...@go-mtc.com Subject:

Yeah, that was an awesome fix. Super brilliant folks working on it. I once shipped 2000 units of a product that had a software glitch. Stack overflow after 32 operations. It was OTP ram based MCU. Expensive buggers. I tried so hard to find a bit to burn to change an op code to cause a

Surprising Tesla wasn’t able to fix the Cybertruck accelerator pedal problem with an over-the-air software update and had to use a rivet. I guess it’s like the oops with the Hubble telescope. Sometimes only a hardware fix will do. From: AF On Behalf Of Chuck McCown via AF Sent: Tuesday,

2024-04-23 Thread Nate Burke
I know a couple people here are using SonarV2.  How have you found it to be?  Seems we see weekly notices about some aspect of V2 breaking even though we're still on V1.    They've stopped aggressively pushing for us to upgrade from V1, so I'm not sure how that bodes.  In a chat I just had

Its because we have upstreams in different towns both doing BGP. If the path on our network between them goes down it orphans customers so this allows a hobbled failover. We have passed 3-400mbps across it to our surprise. I think our upstreams peer with zayo near each other. We originally had
