I used to work for that branch. They'd joke it's the FDDA. Paid peanuts but I learned a lot and had a great boss (who showed up to my house one day unannounced to gift me the Art of Programming because I said I didn't have a

Not to defend anti-creativity, but it's my understanding that at least in the US you have to defend your copyright and go after violations or I guess a real serious violation could say "but this other person did it and had no co

Yeah I mean it was an ok article, and I understand we're all trying to make a living, but it could be summarized in one sentence. "The reporters made up a story and he couldn't convince them to report the truth: that he had

Good to know, thank you

Hmmm so they're fiddly is what it comes down to. I was thinking of the one from Mikroe. The 06045M has the same 40km as that chip so I believe the other commentor that it's the same chip. Thanks

I didn't think I've ever seen mention of a buyout in these articles. That could be something. Franchised ISP. Maybe Comcast is incapable of servicing an area effectively, so they could say something like "we'll give you

Every day it gets a bit easier. But that's the key. You have to do it every day. - weird monkey from Bojack Horseman, paraphrased through my memory

I was considering one of these recently. By chance do you have any feedback on how well it works relative to the detection and the storm front tracking?

No mention of Common Side Effects in the discussion? It was pretty predictable (at least for someone healthcare-field [discovery + regulation]-adjacent all my life), but touched on the notion that the miracle wonder drugs are a provider&#x2

I think 5 is a good number based on no data or experience. Feels like enough where you could reasonably tell one to pound sand if they start getting too greedy, while not being forced to just take the other 1.

I'm not sure I agree and I think you should try some stuff out on godbolt first. The compiler can see where variables are no longer in use, whereas unless you turn on link time optimization (which is known for being messy so nobody see

Agreed. Until I upgraded phones and just couldn't be bothered anymore, I kept around an old build of Firefox from before they messed up extensions. I have to run nightly now to get my extensions and just pause updates at relatively bug

I think for me, and it sounds like for this author, the context lost by that abstraction makes it harder to review. In my experience it's easier for me to understand a small block of code, but it's harder to understand how it impa

The intent here is nice. I historically hate state machines for sequential executioners. To me they make sense in FPGA/ASIC/circuits. In software, they just get so complicated. I've even seen state managers managing an abstra

I'd be shocked if anyone actually believes them. This article starts with the obvious conflict of interest. Of course letting an extension know what websites you visit and what requests are made is an insecure lifestyle. But I still do

Hard disagree. I trust my calculator implicitly to be correct +/- rounding. I distrust AI to the point I have to confirm every little "routine" thing it's thinking. At least they've started putting links/refere

I am not sure if you're agreeing with me or not. Assuming you are, thank you. Nanoseconds could save you but milliseconds will likely not. It takes very little to explode a chip that isn't fortified and designed for robustness.

One watt is one joule per second. Most things designed to consume power, especially related to wall devices and consumer electronics you'd charge, are capable of ingesting multiple watts. Most things that aren't, aren't. The

You're right. Within a few 0.1%. shouldn't do mental math late at night. That said, my PPM math was correct, so I'm sticking by my point, which was based on PPMs.

Good to give mains respect. It can deliver kilowatts of power without breaking a sweat, and breakers are slow enough you could see multiple joules of energy into your device. It's an expert magic smoke emancipator. Disagree on the surp

I recall there being people who hoard buckets of copper pennies for this exact purpose. You can't melt them down unless it's for an educational purpose, so they have buckets and buckets waiting for the law to "change" (p

One of my favorite stories is a flight with a mom and a few kids. Her oldest started shrieking at some point, likely due to the air pressure change. The mom said something like (calmly) "there's nothing anymore can do about it, so

And that's very fair but an OOK replayer is not a clone. The hardware isn't nearly the same capability. That's fine, it's just a different product entirely

That's my thinking. It's not a clone. I finally remembered the term I was looking for. It's a "demake" - a remake but worse

Not seeing it mentioned here but the big difference from a first glance is the RF capability. This is little more than a 433 MHz replay attacker. Maybe you can generate arbitrary data out, as long as it's the ook modulation. I'm s

This feels like a great spot for an FPGA. It could have the PCIe on one side, and put 160 UARTs inside it. /dev/tty would go insane but it might work. Doesn't look like the 7 series has the I/O but maybe Spartan US+ when

I do wish sometimes they used the bigger micro, though. We have some power supplies that technically have an Ethernet interface. But when using it, even for SCPI over TCP (forget about the virtual front panel that takes a minute to update),

I appreciate the nm discussion. So often people bash larger process nodes but the wider gates are often/always better at static power consumption, and mature lithographies mean more research into optimization. It's not just smalle

To me it's the same thing. You can pay somebody to care about that, but they might be underutilized for the majority of time so it's not worth it. If you have a service, instead of your security expert being used idk 1/x of f
