Absolutely true, if you have the source code, which is trade secret. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bluespec is like Haskell that compiles to Verilog? Seems pretty neat. Any such thing as circuit decompilers? In my imagination, they loo

$100 billion is not unrealistic for typical defense budgets. Modern warfare is transitioning from lead to silicon. It takes 6 lines of VHDL to backdoor a CPU. Modern chips have billions of transistors. It would be irresponsible of any mod

It will be interesting to watch this play out in the context of the Chinese intellectual property policies and non-enforcement of US copyrights, patents and trade secrets. That might be enough money to reverse engineer Intel's 14nm ch

It's outrageous that anyone might spend money on this (probably overpriced) software instead of on resources that would actually support children's development. That being said, I suspect that predictive analytics in this case is

Do you mean using postgres tablespaces backed by memory or do you mean using a FDW? If you do mean using a ramdisk tablespace, the postgres docs recommend not doing that. However, if you really want to do that, make sure you attach xlog (th

FPGAs are excellent for parallelizing IO, so if the application involves lots of IO, an FPGA coprocessor will likely reduce power consumption if the CPU delegates IO intensive operations to the FPGA.

I'm hoping this will lead to improvements in their FPGA development environments.

Marshmallow is really useful. +1. If you like Marshmallow, you might also like Pilo ( https://github.com/eventbrite/pilo ), which solves similar problems. Marshmallow excels at ORM object serialization. Pilo is really

Thanks for explaining this; it makes a lot more sense in that context and is definitely _good_ engineering.

Personally I think I like having SIP. It means a webkit zero-day can't as easily load a kernel extension or edit firmware. I guess DTrace works by putting probes into other processes, so even though it is only "reading" syst

I didn't mean to be alarmist by posting this. I actually think SIP is probably a good thing. I just wanted to raise awareness so folks don't get bitten by it. I ran into this issue earlier trying to benchmark IO performance of my

+1 You're absolutely right; I really just meant to say that it could be circumvented by specific parties. We absolutely do need end-to-end encryption everywhere to protect information while in transit. But if someone is worried about

by Cieplak 11y ago
End-to-end encryption is useless without endpoint security, i.e. security of the device you're using. As far as I can tell, all new chips have something like the Intel Management Engine, which allows out-of-band access to the device.

They mention using Neo4j instead of a relational database. Recently I needed to implement a friendship data model, and started off using Neo4j because it seemed like the best tool for the task, but ended up using essentially the following m

Much better. However, I suspect they will change the front bonnet design significantly in order to comply with pedestrian safety standards. Which would be very unfortunate for the aesthetics of the vehicle.
