I am not sure how you're seriously considering this comparison. The actions by Apple, Google or Twitter are not a massacre on the political enemy (in fact, I don't consider companies to have political enemies beyond the SEC and ot

Hm, I think you could add numeric syscalls, similar to what happens at the asm level. E.g. put the syscall id and some parameters on the "stack", then let the interpreter run the syscall with a new "instruction" e.g. &#x

Thanks for the pointer, though I already know about it. But then I can't change the volume when in a text input field - with headphones and very dynamic music I found this to be an issue.

Hm, tried it, but it doesn't seem to work that way on the AOSP keyboard (LineageOS/Android9 here). Either hits '.' or the language change button, or I get the "select keyboard layout" pop up due to a long press

There are countries in which being gay will still cause you serious trouble. Or not agreeing with the political leadership. We are quite privileged to just assume that following the law as written (AND interpreted by the judiciary) will mos

IIRC btrfs operates on chunks of 1gb instead on the drives themselves. So each chunk is present on two drives for raid1. Data point: I have 10 disks between 1 and 4 TB in a single btrfs raid1 (failure rates don't matter for that privat

Yes, there are. One of our project partners (in a different EU project) has a fab for large structures. I don't know what I can legally share beyond that, and also don't want to put wrong info here since I don't know the hard

As others pointed out, it's explicitly marked as an opinion. By someone who campaigns to solve the problem. It is not a journalistic article. Think of it more like an extensive comment on HN, by someone well-informed and a strong opini

I suspected so. Excuse my rant, and it's not directed at you, but the software companies only supporting macOS: I never understood that crap. Only offering macOS forces their customers (e.g. you) into the Apple lock-in, eliminating the

The author talks about his past experience, so did I. Back in 2014 the 1500 Euro Mac was beaten in image manipulating workloads (Adobe stuff) by a PC of the same price range. Today, for a proper answer I'd had to check specific benchma

I'm puzzled why there is such a strong dependency on Mac? I mean, the M1 looks pretty nice; but if the author is budget constrained AND the hardware is too slow, wouldn't "normal" computers with Windows/Linux make m

More anecdata: We also get chlorine smell when putting the chloration powder into our freshly filled pool. So either German tap water contains urine or your claim is not universally true.

That's essentially a Shisha you built there, so smoking that way is a thing ;) The tobacco is different, as is the heat source, but I can confirm that the water still turns rather unpleasant.

The advantage of a custom domain name is: As long as you can update DNS records, you can have your mail easily hosted elsewhere. Obviously not relevant for this kind of outage, but in the scenario outlined by GP - Google randomly kills you

Oh, compiler construction :) I really enjoyed that lecture during my M.Sc. "parallelization, just-in-time compilation, and garbage collection" sound fun, too. Especially JIT.

I understand the reasons why, and they're perfectly fine. But I still think it's a bad decision to rely solely on that approach, because I ultimately hate wasting hardware. My low effort route was to run their image in a podman sy

And another day that I'm again totally surprised how some people do "engineering". Basic problems like recursion don't occur to them, they use a technology they don't understand, they are not careful with the number

I don't like how it is distributed. Background: I'm using a Beocreate 4 Channel amp since a few months, and it's great (even if a little bit expensive, but it perfectly fits my usecase). As mentioned elsewhere, I use it for p

I'm under the impression: Because it's all in the marketing. There is no incentive to build a "proper high-end" fully active system for 500 Euro when you're outcompeted on price and marketing by a manufacturer offer

The DSP is also much better on the beoamp (adau145x, the smaller variant). I run phase correct 250Hz crossovers as FIR on it. The 1701 has way too few taps for that. And the 1701's integrated DAC is considered quite poor. The TPA imple

This is about time, and I like that they can have functions. No stupid enum_too_to_string($bar) calls, just $bar->toString(). When I built a small, internal tool a few years ago, I couldn't believe it still didn't offer somethi

Oh, the paid updates might affect the infotainment system, but might also affect the ECU instead - at least as far as I'm aware, and then of course this might vary depending on the model year. Updates as part of a recall are free.

Another point seems to be upgrade fees - e.g. with Volvo I have to pay for the dealers diagnostics software subscription, for the actual software update itself (yes, really), and for the time it takes because it blocks a slot in the dealers

The tech reminds me of the nearly two-decades old RONJA, which is open-source hardware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RONJA Of course this here is much more advanced.

There are a lot of ideas here sparking with (at least) border-line racism (against racist, but it's racism nevertheless). But what you say stands out, because there is an easy solution that's not tainted by racism: These people ar
