Just putting my hand up to say that MicroPython is awesome (and runs on the RP2040). https://micropython.org

But you can only buy it as a cloud service, yes? So presumably: * Whether something 'beats' something else is actually a question of price/performance and... * Whether or not the vendor in question is famous for dropping peop

I was going to say ... pretty sure I saw this on TV in the 1980's.

This was, broadly, my experience too. So much potential, never really worked.

But it’s ok because NFT’s did.

> “losing” in gaming for decades has not been fun for Apple Yeah, I'm not sure about that. It's given them an excuse to ship sub-par graphics and helped make the big bust-up with Nvidia less painful.

I feel really sorry for JetBrains. They've built, over a long time, a company that makes money from actually good engineering and I was happy to pay for their products for a long time. Then VSCode happened and there just doesn't s

Phones, not TV's, but that's pretty much the idea. Even better, the ARM core was tacked on as a sort of "dammit, I supposed we'll have to run applications" kinda thing and isn't even necessarily initialised dur

On the other hand there are a couple of things in ZFS that can make a big difference. For instance: changing the page size to be the same size as Postgresql uses (8kb); disabling the writing of 'last accessed' timestamps; or wheth

Ahhh. Now you've made me all wistful thinking about HP LaserJet 4's.

And this is why it's faster than C some-days for some-cases etc. but still actually faster. Is there much going on with Fortran on GPU?

Unless they can do something that was going to have to be run on the CPU - and use less power doing it. I think we're rapidly getting to the point where this AI stuff is no longer optional.

"Human-subject testing is needed to test this hypothesis." Ahh, and this is why you are submitting a grant proposal for $100k in red wine?

But there was something in the article about epoxy - so potentially the components are glued down with a conductive epoxy instead of being actually soldered. Why you do this? Don't know. But it would explain why the solder is losing th

So ... the registers are dynamically allocated from a chunk of cache? Does this mean there, effectively, are no registers? Does this cache have one clock latency?

Re: async, rust is a down to the metal language. IE library yes, runtime no. Async implementations are all either runtimes (Javascript), or libraries that implement a runtime (Python). Under the circumstances I think it's fair that rus

I'm late to the party but... Has anyone contemplated running Zephyr as a unikernel? https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/x86/acrn/doc/in...

I get completely different numbers (although the tldr is no less alarming). Does someone want to check my work? https://gist.github.com/RantyDave/41ac164cfcf527a91d3b97c8dd...

Yes, but. You have to remember that speed sailing is effectively an efficiency competition. The theoretically perfect sailing machine would a foil in the air and a foil in the water connected by something with as little weight and drag as p

Great that it's fast - but I'm not sure it would make all that much difference in Python code.

So, and I'm feeling a bit stupid here, not visible light? Because the pulse must be a complete wave, right? It goes from not being there, to being there, to not being there. And "a few dozen attoseconds" is very much shorte

Aside, possibly, but didn't Kagi used to be a company that collected money for shareware authors or am I hallucinating?

Vendor was informed in person at an event in Toronto, where MikroTik was not present in any capacity. Except for a black hat with a MikroTik name badge and handing out merch. Cunning, no?
