I do understand what lossless means. The point of my anecdote is a tale of warning that when going off and start designing new network protocols, especially one as bare bones as TTPoE, you need to consider what happens when someone has to

FC is not entirely lossless. One ticket I had the joy of dealing with involved a customer using a Fibre Channel network for their storage using multipathd for failover. In theory it was a fully redundant configuration with dual FC ports o

So you want to pay for less than 1 week of dev time? Almost nothing can be done on an FPGA for that little amount of money beyond the smallest of changes to an existing design. Heck, the cost of simply getting your completed circuit board

Most electricity local distribution undertakings run on a cost plus model. If their costs increase, they are permitted to have higher profits as regulators set rates such that profits are a percentage of costs. There is no incentive for g

That shouldn't matter. Your database should be consistent in the face of an unclean exit. ACID has been around for a long time.

But... would it turn out to be another giant merger fiasco as the Boeing merger with McDonnell Douglas was? Qualcomm could end up rotting from the inside if Intel's management culture takes control, and Qualcomm still has quite a bit

The big difference today is that 40+ years ago, organizing a group based on fringe beliefs had a cost. People had to put real effort into finding and organizing these groups by sending out flyers and spending time in the real world. Today

It was quite educational to completely rebuild an i386 system during the a.out to ELF transition. Definitely a worthwhile exercise to learn all the autotools madness that underlies most of the Linux toolchain, but far easier than bootstrap

But which one of your ancestors do you boot up? Over 1000 years, fanout at 2.6 kids per couple is significant as that's easily going to be more than 25 generations.

There's also the looming overhead caused by all the government subsidies that Intel has been taking. Building fabs means hiring people to work in those fabs which is a huge operating expense Intel may be obligated to cover once constr

This story is very similar to what happened to my own elderly father back in 2020 that I have mentioned here previously. In my father's case he searched for "Apple support Canada" and got a phishing ad as the top result that

Intel has internal papers that investigated the use of the third dimension and the effect it would have on power consumption and performance. Of course it improves things, but it is very difficult to implement in the real world. The first

Too bad Google will serve up phishing ads for innocuous searches like "Apple support Canada" that connect unsuspecting seniors with criminals.

Telsas can't even avoid hitting stopped emergency vehicles, so I'm not sure how communication between vehicles is going to solve their problems.

Just think of how much e-waste this will be in a few years once it no longer makes sense to run them due to improved FLOPs per Watt of newer silicon.

Even Amazon's Textract API has issues with common invoices I've received. It Would Be Nice(tm) if this were a solved problem, but it isn't yet. Several other SaaS build on top of Textract and claim to do better, but the cos

How in tarnation would they do that? To inject traffic into the network, the attacker would have to compromise the access network. The RADIUS attack is not going to accomplish that.

Realistically, it doesn't matter. My ISP uses RADIUS for authenticating customers in the access network. If someone manages to intercept messages in the middle of my network, I've got bigger problems. Even if someone does injec

No, Beanfield is probably not solely dependent on Bell and/or Rogers for transit. Toronto is one of the few cities in Canada where there are loads of transit providers to purchase bandwidth from (including most tier 1s). There are al
