Isn't the eMMC card basically an "SD" card as a chip? Thus this machine should having the same problems with unreliable shutdown and wear-leveling as the normal Pi, with the added culprit that you cannot swap the card for a n

I think the p stands for "personal" ie. it's so tiny that you can create one for each device.

What I meant was that almost all the HTTP stuff is in "net/http".

My first reaction was to provide some help for him, I did and boy am I sorry for him and everyone in his predicament. While doing that I could also identify an underlying problem in the way he has to beg for help and how unfair a system lik

It's so sad that the country where Richard lived, worked and paid taxes for about 30 years can't provide for him. I'm glad to be able to help. But what happens to those that don't reach the front page of HN? No one endur

I have no faith in the Bletchley Park Trust and their grand vision of "a world class museum and heritage site". They simply have to accommodate the volunteers at the The National Museum of Computing. This is the same kind of banta

The power/performance envelope is about the same for both processors (Haswell version of the Xeon (E3-1230v3) and i3-4130T) . So you are trading performance for power in a full load scenario, the idle power usage is going to be similar

While you might be right about the small space advantage, I would feel more safe if the position of the failing drive (and the next failing drive) does not matter at all. If a drive develops a speed problem, I'll replace it.

Try upgrading the memory in the 21.5" version, you are going to need a soldering iron and a lot of time.

I would love for the code to be released, something similar and selfhosted with a simple static backend (or my favorite: Kirby) would live on any low end box. Please consider selling the design and assets on Themeforest.

Well, in this particular case I agree. Its unlikley that you will make your own ARM SOC or blobs because the Snapdragon blobs are unavalible to you. But one can see the secrets as an anti-feature and choose an alternative supplier that is l

OCR per definition gives out text. Not binary data that resemble the bitmap of the input image.

I find that this rather old video from OSCON 2007 by the incredible Simon Peyton Jones (of F# and GHC) is the most inspiring Haskell video there is. It uses the X window manager XMonad as the basis to explain many important concepts of Hask

Thinking about doing something similar, would you care to do a writeup? I'm deeply scared of iptables.

So I figured, but my stance is that in the long run the repute and traffic would not matter. I'm more in favor of the OSS-mentatlity: fork it. I've never believed in crowd-sourcing funding for a buyout as I have little faith in th

I don't understand what the money buys you. Just fork it, set up a new Hackaday and raise money for a specific purpose. Not to make the people behind the original site rich.

That is not entirely accurate, the DP signal can be embedded in a TB stream (like on the Apple TB Display, where the actual signal in the TB cable is TB data) but a TB device can demux the DP data and output DP data in the DP/TB conne

8ms is the panel switch rate, not the same as the slow refresh rate of the Lenovo due to the bottleneck in the interconnect with the GPU (4 DVI-channels and 41 Hz refresh, when the panel surly did 60 Hz). It is a massive datarate, especiall

I've never heard about any web application that can just "scale" without some growing pains. Sure it's possible to pay for some elastic IAAS or PAAS, but that really does not solve any scaling problems. You still use as much resources per u

It would shoot trough he roof because you get more than what you pay for, and that is not economically sustainable in the long term. It's like saying: Imagine if the price of a new car was $200, they would sell millions!

Very clever, but I hope there is a way to make use of the electronics after the time when Microsoft wants to pay for the data have passed. Our ecosystem cannot sustain this short product life-cycles.
