Personally I think this is the biggest selling feature of FPGA based emulation. The reality is both Software and FPGA emulation can be done very well and with very low latency, however to achieve this in software you generally require high

Counterstrike through the ages used to be a paid product. After a ban your whole account was locked down, so in a practical sense it used to always have a 20-50 “escrow” fee to join the pool of legitimate players. Even today the cs:go “prim

The results of this study actually presents that PLA fumes are more toxic than ABS fumes. In practice though, the study shows PLA is safer because of significantly less fume creation with the lower printing temperature. So relative risk for

I'm always conflicted with this. My gut says any new student should start with an interpreted language like Python or JS/TypeScript. As that gets you to running code, and core concepts like variables, loops and if statements in li

This is the true story here. How does putting tariffs on parts that hackers/innovators use to prototype new products help the American people? If you don't have enough funding, and a large enough customer base to get your electron

While I'm not the biggest fan of this style, mostly because of the semicolon thing, I like packages like these. When you're starting a new project with more than one developer you're going to run into people talking about thi

I personally have been able to get it all the way up to 1.4 on my ZTE Open. It's a mess to do, you need to build the OS from source then splice it into the boot file provided by ZTE and edit some init scripts. It runs perfectly fine af

This project reminds me of ptunnel http://www.cs.uit.no/~daniels/PingTunnel/ I've used it to get free internet at universities and hotels, slow but gets the job done. ICMP usually isn't filtered by those

The window is pretty accurate. I've had shipments take a week, and others take 1+ months to the exact same address. It is pretty much random and I just assume it's going to take longer than a month.

Homebrew has updated to 1.0.1g since 6:00PM GMT. It's important to note that this isn't an issue unless you have an outward facing service that uses TLS and the brew/macports library

Anyone know if you can still use an older client to use the api? I guess if you can it's just a waiting game till the client becomes unsupported.

Not going to lie, posts like these make me really want one for myself. I've toyed with using a tablet and keyboard combo and doing all my work as a networked thin-client but it is nowhere near the experience of working on a laptop. Hav

I would doubt it for some time. Mozilla are aiming at the ultra budget market. We have expensive iPhones and Androids, mid-tier androids, but ~$100 androids are few and almost guaranteed a bad experience. Firefox os is targeted for low end
