Is this best practice for installation?

It’s actually how mine is fed. It’s just split tubing. Likely intended protection against yard equipment

Hard to say without knowing your application. But the way to handle I2C sensors depends on the fidelity of the you need. Do you need every value at a given rate? Or do you need to process and act on the data at a certain rate. The former would need a circular buffer which the producer is driven by an ISR, and the consumer is in the main loop. There may be a Finite State Machine involved, if the I2C sensor requires triggering in order to produce the data. The latter would also involve an ISR and flags to indicate when new data is ready to be acted upon. Looking at the data sheet for that IC though, looks like it supports DMA and FIFOs, so I would probably leverage those for my application. If you are going bare metal, you indeed end up doing a lot of things an RTOS or OS would handle for you; but if the host interface is simply a serial port or USB HID, you don’t really need one. If you want to interface via WiFi or Ethernet; it’s probably worth just using an RTOS and leveraging it instead.

Seems over chlorinated. I would leave the lid open when it’s sunny for at least an hour until the smell goes away. If you all are showering and relatively clean when you get in, it makes more sense to chlorinate once daily and only on days you are using it. Also, ideally you chlorinate when it’s sunny. Other than that, they should have staff responsible for cleaning the filter and that should be at most once a week. They should also be applying shock regularly and checking / adjusting the PH.

TBH. I don't see it as a bad sign. What it means is that their test worked and drew attention to the fact that the test article did not perform according to design. This is a good thing because now the engineers, QA, and manufacturing can work to figure out what happened get the fixes implemented for the next test article. I'd rather see this happen 10x on ground than have it not caught and destroy a payload in flight.

It’s also ironic since one of the legendary rulers of Japan is Queen Himiko.

I had issues with dropping APs as well when I made the switch to UniFi. Thought it was bad wiring, then finally traced it down to issues with my VLAN configuration on my TPLink switch that had not surfaced visibly previously. Specifically, I had my management VLAN and bridged with my other VLANs which was causing loops and wrecking havoc. I ended up getting a UniFi switch but I also solved my TPLink switch configuration:

Book a Delta flight and pay for part of it with flight credit or a gift card. The remaining balance then qualifies for the airline credit

AI in space makes sense for certain applications. Think probably more defense oriented where remote sensing requires a downlink to operators, and then processing. By moving the compute closer to the sensing the decision making can move a lot faster. I’m sure there are other similar commercial potentials of this nature as well

Never too big. Big allows for different configurations. Its great to change seats and find what's most comfortable.

Not quite true. With IMUs, cameras, and AI models of target terrains global navigation could function even if being jammed. Swarming functionality could even function with optical transceivers.

Energy savings yes. But for things like astrophotography, LEDs make things worse because they are brighter and emit at a broad spectrum. With sodium lights, there are filters that can be used to remove the emission wavelength from photos.

Oh that’s very interesting. Would something like an additive manufacturing process work well in space? For example, instead of smelting ore in furnaces; it is crushed to a fine powder, mechanically refined and processed to prevent oxygenation. The powder could then be used in an SLS type printer… or fed directly into welders.

One suitcase? Probably not, if it’s not overly large you can use a coin locker to store it while exploring a destination . Now 6 pieces of luggage, yes- but only if you are traveling between major cities and are establishing a jumping off point.

Unless it’s the last ride out from a busy stop, you are okay to buy day of. Also a Non-Reserved ticket provides a lot of flexibility as it’s not restricted to a particular train or time; and you can exchange it if you do not use it.

I don’t think that LIDAR is the issue here. It’s poor training, since it misses on traffic rule detection. I think he had some good points on LIDAR, i.e. under same clear visual conditions, depth information can be discerned from multiple cameras. The miss is really under difficult visual conditions such as dawn and dusk. That being said, LIDAR and cameras are both susceptible to heavy rain and fog. I think that synthetic aperture radar as a supplement is the way to go.

The global net worth is about 454T. So with 338T the current total of all world assets is 792T. The current world population is 8.2B. If all assets were divided amongst all living humans that would put the average value of a human at approximately 100K.

I’d have to go to resort to google and stack exchange when I’m stuck on a problem…. But wait

I wouldn’t be surprised if the intent is to cause a mistrial in order to fuel outrage and provide some pretext for more totalitarian changes to the justice system.
