You need to use specific browser APIs (Service Workers) in order to support "offline mode" for a webpage, including support when there's no internet at all. This means the page and its content is stored locally for later, sep

I am a new Moonlander user (for ~4 months now) who switched from a Kinesis1/2 after over 10 years of use. The well feels nice for e.g. the "d" column to be deeper than "f", so your longer index finger rests a little

SELinux is nothing but a maintenance burden for developers and users. There's a reason no major distro beyond the Fedora line that enables it by default, including the one I work one; it almost invariably frustrates users, has incomple

No, not really, and without actual root cause analysis it's impossible to "be alarmed" about such a thing in any informed sense of the phrase. For instance, "incremental compilation" is obviously not the only prereq

No — there's no way to avoid the place and route phase for an FPGA, which is responsible for choosing where the components on the device that collectively implement your desired design are placed, and ensures they're wired toget

Yes, for good reason: they're a poor solution to most needs, are needlessly error prone, and so they make life more difficult especially among components with heavy developer traffic. As someone who's used both, I vastly prefer th

I mean, most of the blog post is actually in some sense relevant regardless, because updating blockram contents and blockram inference is relevant to all the tools. And in some cases the problem is actually worse in the open source tools, e

I'll be blunt: Neither of those use cases are very important in comparison, and neither come remotely close to justifying AirTags as unlimited tracking devices with zero restrictions. Just go buy some other tracker for your cat or what

Probably not. Windows-on-Bootcamp used drivers written by Apple for their peripherals, but with M1 devices they aren't writing or offering Windows drivers anymore. So Microsoft or someone would have to write them, which seems unlikely.

No, type checking isn't the whole story. I think most people vastly overestimate how complex those algorithms actually are; you can have fast type checking for a lot of languages that seem really advanced with very expressive features.

I mean, that's a trend that's been ongoing in both the HTTP and TLS world for a while now, independent of QUIC. Similar complaints arose with the announcement of HTTP/2 being TLS only, if I recall, and TLS 1.3 would probably

Visual block diagram editors like the one in Vivado, Libero, etc are extremely useful and powerful in practice and an equivalent alternative for open source EDA design would be very welcome. And I'm a person who absolutely loathes Veri

Almost certainly not; I'd be extremely surprised if AMD rocked the boat at all here. Xilinx is already the dominant player in the spaces they're batting for (datacenters are where all the money is and their major focus for several

Skylake-X has already had its die shots examined and the AVX-512 register file, the dominant part of the layout, is something like .5 of a single core, so it's not even going to buy you much area for anything if Intel deleted it, the w

There'd have to be a new implementation rewritten from scratch for native-image (the native-image GC is actually written in Java itself, while ZGC is written in C++), but I don't see any reason why it would be impossible. Note tha

A major use case I have for WSL2 requires systemd, full stop (it's critical for the package manager I use.) It's pretty painful not having it available, and this is really something that needs improvement IMO. To be fair, this cou

I think this too, but at the same time the reality is a tool like Terraform is really complicated to implement well, and, importantly, it always has to work. All the time. There are really high standards for this, and in my personal exper

It's give and take. I've been writing Haskell for a long time, and I think just reading slowly is a big help in general when dealing with any Haskell code not written by me. This is true for everything but I find it especially tru

This is such a funny post because formal verification techniques tend to see a lot of success in the hardware world, from lightweight ones to heavy ones, much more so than software, because many behaviors can be bounded over some finite amo

Well, D-Bus was originally designed to solve the problem of... a message bus. So you can pass messages down the bus and multiple consumers can see it, you can call "into" other bus services as a kind of RPC, etc. Even today, there

There's replication in ClickHouse and you can just shove reads off to one of them if you'd like. From a backup/safety standpoint that's important, but I think there are other options besides just replicas, of course. Fro

It may seem strange but when discussing things like this ("This new thing is going to win") I'm always reminded of the response people here on HN had to Adobe going to subscription-only. There were pages and pages of comments
