Part of making a typeface is making it subconsciously part of the brand. Though there's precedent for making a functional font in this use case as Airbus designed B612 for readability within their glass cockpits.

Considering that the support tier where you get access to the testing suite is 150K/year, I don't think they will be spilling any beans soon.

I remember a video where the only thing that stuck with me was that the guy was working on his English skills, and used an AI voice. That's not abnormal by any stretch of the imagination nor memorable, but how he edited the AI voice ma

They are basically acquiring talent and/or preexisting IP. RISC-V is free but implementations are the sole IP of the company. Implementing ARM and RISC-V decoders might depend on licensing fine print for each licensee

Why assume that a game has to be made? Making a handful of tech demos doesn't come with that baggage and deflects criticism of making an empty shell of an engine with nothing to speak of.

Microsoft offers Windows on ARM servers. Could slam the Windows ARM ISO on a 3rd party VPS as well.

Ford's big mistake with the 1.0L Ecoboost wasn't exclusively using a timing belt, it was using a timing belt submerged in oil. They did state that they engineered the rubber to withstand being submerged in oil, but ultimately it d

An interesting fact is that the first gen US Honda Odyssey minivan completely lacks slide out doors commonly associated with the vehicle type.

Apple's GPTK only supports D3D12 -> Metal. In addition, it's ambiguous if 3rd parties can distribute the D3DMetal dylib, as there's no license.

Main issue is the lack of Vulkan support on macOS. Currently, solutions like MoltenVK have to be developed to add Vulkan support, which isn't as clean as just supporting it. For some reason the prospect using Wine, Rosetta 2, and DXVK

Not a fan of how this car would work ergonomically. Center mounted speedo is annoying and there's zero attempt to prevent glare from them. I also can't tell what's going on with all of the switches on the passenger's sid

My take is that it could help tie up fragmentation. RISC-V has different profiles defining what instructions come with for different use cases like a general purpose OS, and enshrining them as an ISO standard would give the entire industry

There is and kind of isn't. There are community led modding apis, but also datapacks that are more limited but still allow someone to do cool stuff leveraging tools, items, etc already in the game. If you remember entire contraptions o

If you read the LKML thread with Linus' rant, you would know that big endian ARM* is a problematic part of the Linux kernel that the maintainers are removing due to lack of testing let alone receiving bug fixes. It's also implied

The rundown on this is that CodeThink added Big Endian RISC-V because of a half-baked optimized networking scenario where somehow the harts (RISC-V speak for a cpu core) don't have Zbb byte manipulation instructions. Linus shuts down e

The move to 48v is very much about efficiency within the harness backbone. For the same wattage, less amperage is needed in a higher voltage system, meaning the wires can be smaller and they produce less waste heat. There are a few differen

12v is easier to adapt and take parts off the shelf. Remember that EVs weren't quite obviously the future at some point. I have to wonder if this ever happened with the 6v to 12v transition somewhere in the 50's-60's

Chemotherapy is essentially a bet that the drugs will kill the cancer faster than you. Because ultimately, cancer isn't a virus, bacteria, fungus, parasite, nor even a prion (this one is nightmare fuel) -- it's your own cells acti

Don't completely rule out EBCDIC from the equation. It's generally an IBM-ism meant for punched cards with the same characters as ASCII. Despite the similarity, it means that it's a legacy system kept alive to now and switchi

RDP is functionality that has to be built into the compositor, rather than a pretty integral part of X itself. WSLg (Windows Subsystem for Linux [2] GUI) works via RDP, and it's Wayland only too.

When that book was published, the F-117 Nighthawk was already retired after 10 years in service. The thing doesn't even look like it could fly on account of the rudimentary stealth features.

Fun fact: the nerves between the brain and heart are never reattached. A heart already has all of the facilities to keep working all by itself. Even weirder is that an adult kidney transplanted into a child will actually shrink to fit.

I was skeptical about this claim, as the NES and Famicom are pretty simple at the end of the day, and apparently the NESWiki[1] says that there's a second CPU handling modem capabilies with UART communication to a modem controller. Usu
