Curious. This is somewhat reminiscent of SGI's ccNUMA and CRAYLink/NUMALink architectures. If memory serves, IRIX (SGI's UNIX OS) had both the metrics to see the latency of access, and the ability to migrate the data and&#x2F

Technical cock-up aside, why the term "activists"? Not questioning the title of the HN post, rather, wondering if I missed something going on I have missed in the news which would justify the term (instead of "hackers" o

Take a look at USB Rubber Ducky or similar device(s). HackADay [1] [2] has a couple of write-ups about it and some associated tools. [1] https://hackaday.com/2019/02/12/a-malicious-wifi-backdoor-in... [2] htt

If the USB device can proffer a spoofed ID, there is no auth a-la PKI. Maybe there is a USB controller where it is possible to turn off the data lanes and only keep the power ones active, but short of that, USBGuard had to trust the ID of

My own tell-tale about those is the use of the word "could" in the description. Not an outright disqualifier, but raises the likelihood of the content being a PR fluff piece.

Sadly impossible to see on mobile. The overlay which pops up has a close button in the upper-right, but inaccessible in portrait or landscape view, both with the HN's built-in browser and mobile FireFox.

Switching to random order from FIFO would increase the chances of breaking the convoy cycle (where a process which initially held a high-contention resource lock comes back at the end of it, to repeat the cycle again and again, since the qu

Panasonic, back in the plasma days, used to have a "professional" line. Those were plasma monitors (no built-in tuner, no sound processing at all), and it had modular inputs. There are 3 slots for I/O cards. Can still find th

Eh. Sorta. The small form factor of pocket computers belies their functionality, and makes most people treat them as if they are much simpler devices than they really are. The fact that there isn't a manual of operations included with

The reason we'd have difficulty explaining the smartphone to someone from 60s is because it uses a while lot of infrastructure for all those spicy functions to be available. This is not to take away from the pocket computer's awe

Or, phrased another way: we are NOT in possession of a phone number any more than we are in possession of an IP address. Both are transiently assigned to us to the computer with a cellular modem in our pockets

Thank you for the write-up. As an occasional scripter (a coder I am not), I found it very useful - a very nice and structured presentation of both coding practices, and of the challenges of supporting multiple environments with their own wa

On a similar list (aka "not to be discussed/shared with a non-US citizen) is thermal/night vision technology. And yet, a veritable cornucopia if videos on YouTube, and images in marketing materials online, clearly showing th

A thing to keep in mind: just because there is an "agent" card on someone, does not mean they were a snitch ("productive agent"). It is entirely possible that at least some cards were there to simply pad the numbers - to

This was a fancy variant of "First!" basically. Because page rank based on age, and bragging rights (and lefts, and middles). Meh.

GiGo still applies. (US-centric view, YMWcV) Sadly, the mechanisms for feeding data into these various databases are held as confidential under the auspices of protecting the TTPs. This makes it impossible to have proper oversight from peop
