The android keyboard is also capable of reading everything you type, especially if you install a third party one.

I think from a hardware perspective this would be non-trivial, despite sounding like an obvious thing in principle. In sending the entire frame with every refresh you get pixel addressing "for free", since you just send the data f

Also consider MHRD[0], which is similar to nandgame, except you write your designs out in a (primitive) HDL starting with just NAND gates and working up to a functional CPU. Like the zachtronics games, it blurs the line between "game&q

I've also had this experience with the Fedora partition configurator. FWIW, you can somewhat get around it by manually creating the partition layout you want (LUKS+LVM+RAID etc), then mounting it as you'd want to use it, then just

Probably MHRD[0] I'm a hardware engineer, and enjoyed playing this in my spare time. You create small components from nand gates with an extremely simple made-up HDL and gradually integrate them together into larger and larger function

"At Jet, two 500 megawatt flywheels are used to run the experiments." So net power is -989MW, assuming both flywheels are at full pelt the whole time and no power is required before fusion is acheived.

Windows is mandatory at work, but all of my personal stuff I do on Linux. Since I do more at work than I do in my spare time I have to answer Windows, but if the question was which do I _prefer_ then the answer would be different.

Thanks for the interesting link, looks like on the whole build times have been coming down. One interesting observation is that helloworld now takes about 4 times longer[0] (though only to 0.8 seconds). What could have caused this? [0] htt

Will be interesting to see how much compile times suffer once rust starts being used more heavily in the kernel. In my gentoo days I remember the compile time for firefox suddenly going up from 20 minutes to several hours which left a sour

If you're looking for the sexy end of storage, send yourself down the rabbit hole of novel/upcoming NVM technologies. There is a wealth of interesting stuff to read and discover about MRAMs, CBRAMs, PCMs FeRAMs, FeFET, Racetrack m

When I saw this I did wonder how much faster I could do it in hardware, but similarly I expect the bottleneck would be outputting it in a fashion that would be considered fair to be compared to software implementations (eg outputting readab

SystemVerilog and UVM are perfectly capable of being used to verify VHDL designs. I should also add that if you wanted to use a single language for everything OSVVM is excellent.

>Ada maybe isn't very well adapted to kernel code? From what I know of Ada, doesn't it get it's memory safety from either a GC or not freeing memory entirely? That is -- ownership rules are pretty new to Ada/SPARK. I

Wouldn't it make more sense to use a much more mature safety-centric language with a proper language spec like Ada?

I'm surprised the powder form of Colman's isn't a controlled substance. Not enough water and its essentially death paste. Sneeze near an open container of the powder and you'll probably need to move house and have facial

I was introduced to Columbo by a housemate a few years ago and was instantly hooked. The episode you mentioned is excellent, as are all the Jack Cassidy ones. For me the standout episode is 'Any Old Port in a Storm' (1973) with Do
