If such simple changes have that big of an effect on you, you're in the wrong. I'd like Meta to spin off WhatsApp and Instagram, then shut down for good.

Working with modern technologies, it's incredible to me that the transistors are on the same order of scale as the bond-out pads.

There are plenty of people who aren't in the US, and have their own constitutions, your title should probably address that. Misunderstanding what freedom of expression means in the US is very common. Without weighing in on whether it w

This article seems to be making misleading claims. The much better NPR article [1] says that it's those 12 people who are the source of 65% false claims and hoaxes, not 65% of propaganda. One is an idea, the other is content. [1]: htt

I used to wonder how companies like TomTom stay in business, given how big products like Google Maps have become. More recently I've seen some media that showed off one of those stand-alone GPS devices (I don't remember which bran

At this point, it's more likely that I permanently switch to Linux than it is that I upgrade to Windows 11. I was pacified and relatively content with Windows 10, but Microsoft is rapidly destroying the good will they accumulated with

You don't need to be at your absolute peak every second of your life. It's no different than having a drink.

This is one of the least surprising TLDs I've seen.

You shouldn't completely rely on the code you put out into the world in devices remaining secret. A sufficiently capable adversary will likely eventually get your data. Whether you're talking about a $0.30 MCU with the lock e-fuse

To me, DNA is more like an esolang than any normal programming language.

That Veritasium video is one of the most controversial educational videos I've seen. I think one of the issues with it is that it's a bit pedantic, but also ignores other issues, that invites other people to be pedantic about it.

Choosing not to be vaccinated is a harm to society. Being vaccinated isn't just about protecting yourself. It is people's choice not to be vaccinated, and they're responsible for the consequences of that choice, including not

Microsoft is slowly pushing me back to Linux. VS Code and WSL had me fairly content for a while, but as time goes on, I'm thinking more and more about how little of what I do actually needs Windows at this point. I miss my days using A

That functionality alone, I don't find terrifying. It's what allows web-based video-conferencing with screen sharing. However, I'd consider this an abuse of it, you should not be pressured into giving consent to do that as pa

Done deal, you now own 25 bits of the hash. I'll be sending out an invoice for the $48828.12 (adjusted down because you can't receive 25.6 bits of it).

Here you go: b4a457fa7a566ca23fb214b986ff19234234a0654dc786f348377990b53585abb7dc1fa91672ab15de0d87deb66133f5657f85a2662bd1f95de3743933d49982. It's the SHA512 hash of the full-size version header image of an Apple I from Wikipedia.

I'm confused by what you're saying. I'm disagreeing with the comment saying that SIM cards being smart is bad.
199.
by 0xTJ 5y ago
I strongly disagree on the first point. The carriers used are entirely an issue with my carrier. I don't use a phone that's in any way associated with my carrier, and I expect the SIM card to "just work" when I put it in

This does depend on where you are. I think that in the US master's degrees are different that they are in other many places. It also depends a lot on the master's degree. Some degrees are just more school. Some are a little school

Wow, I really like the implementation of that syscall. I've got my own toy OS project in C, for the M68k, and my `read` is "a little" less clean [0, 1]. [0]: https://gitlab.com/0xTJ/mosys/-/blob

Blanket rules like "never use `goto`" are generally not great. A big part of the job of a software developer is knowing when to use what bits of a language. Sometimes code with `goto` is simply easier to understand. You have to be

That's the way a number of those special flags work. They are a contract to the compiler saying "act like this can't happen, I promise it won't". The picking and choosing specific flags enable might be better in gen

I usually try to avoid clicking them out of spite. I'm sure that they've found that it overall increases viewership, otherwise they wouldn't do it, but I hate that this is what news is now.

I makes me a bit sad that I've moved from Ottawa to Toronto, cutting my time in the "freezing" from 3 months to half that. Seeing a 3D stacking over the years (maybe a moving average) would be interesting, to see how much thi

I highly recommend using a compose key to enter special characters. I think it's more common by default on Linux, but I use WinCompose. I've never entered "ć" in my life, but hitting ALT, apostrophe then c, it worked.

Just like Nios II, it's a processor. It doesn't have to be "hard" silicon. Calling it a "little FPGA program" seems very dismissive. I don't know what you mean by "1990 style".

As far as I can tell, it already does this, and it's my most hated "feature". The delay while it does the search, combined with everything shuffling around at the end of that delay is terrible for me. Personally, if I want to

An oversight is not the case. This is an annoying problem for actual repair technicians, not just a mistake by a beginner.
