Doesn’t PCIe already get you that today? Either with an existing PCIe -> X bridge chip, or an FPGA with PCIe capability? It’s not cheap, and you need to write device drivers etc - but that’s the case regardless.

I still find that if I want a board that “just works” a Raspberry Pi is an easier option. Whilst the manual for the Broadcom SoC is incomplete the documentation and software support for other SoCs is even more variable. I really hope the li

At least where I am (BC) emissions are regulated, so straight piped cars and bikes are already illegal. The issue is that there are no mandatory inspections for non-commercial vehicles, so if you don’t get pulled over you’re never going to

Kind of true? If you disable secure boot at least on Windows BitLocker will no longer unlock your disk at boot, and so you'll need to enter the recovery code at least once.

There are features that improve device virtualisation. Things like SR-IOV allowing for multiple virtual functions on a single device, and ATS which (among other things) means that device memory doesn’t need to be pinned. The issue is that t

Given that a Mac Mini has USB 4 you could connect an M2 drive with an adapter and still get good perf. That still has some additional cost though, and doesn’t address RAM.

They had a linked article talking about a prior exercise [0] which includes the source for that procedure [1]: > “If NATO was to conduct a nuclear mission in a conflict,” NATO says, “the B-61 [sic] weapons would be carried by certified A

I have the wired version of this - the HL-L2300D - and it has been fine too. The one issue with the wired version is that there are no good Linux drivers, brlaser [0] kind of works - but fails with certain documents. [0] - https:/&#x2

Intel is not dead, wounded perhaps. I would still be very surprised to see them disappear.

With the Hydra binary cache I can quite comfortably update my Avoton C2550 based router or Raspberry Pi 4 AirPlay receiver within a few minutes. It’s only if I need to build a non trivial package that I have to make sure I build on my desk

I’ve never had an issue with Nix itself on macOS but there are occasionally packages that are broken on macOS but work on Linux - despite upstream supporting macOS.

Is that true? Density also means your chips are smaller which means you’re getting more parts on a wafer (though yield is important there).

If Google Groups is actually going to die would it not be worth scraping the history for at least some groups?

As one of the Microsoft folks sitting above Nordstrom, I do wonder what will replace it.

I'm in BC and BC Hydro has two step billing. $0.0950/kWh for the first 1350kWh/2 months and $0.1408/kWh beyond that [0] - and that's CAD so about $0.071/kWh and $0.11/kWh in USD. I'm guessing you mean

I think you could maybe just snoop for ARP - when you see something trying to discover the IP wake the machine up. Supposedly some Intel NICs [0] already support this, though they also wake on multicast which you wouldn't want here. [0

I guess it depends what you're doing. I haven't tried the autorouter, but I've found the push and shove routing is pretty good.

I currently have an 11 Pro and it is annoying. If we do get a USB-C iPhone this year I intend to upgrade. Pretty much the only reason I haven’t bought AirPods is that they use lightning, and I don’t want them to end up being the only device

I wonder if Valve are selling enough units that they could order a custom display for an upgraded model. It’ll be interesting to see if they make any attempt at compat with a presumed future Steam Deck 2.

I suspect the macOS version is more useful for that than the Android version.

Conceptually I have less of an issue with it for cars. I think encouraging car-sharing, at least in urban environments, would be a good thing. Most cars spend the vast majority of the day either parked at home, or at work.

Full transparency, I work at Microsoft on the hypervisor. What do you find that VirtualBox does better than Hyper-V?

It means that customers that don’t care for ECC aren’t paying for it. If you want ECC the option is available, at the cost of a few GB storage. If we had this with desktop hardware it might even be preferable to standard ECC for workstation

Optimising C compilers maybe not, but you absolutely can naïvely translate C into assembler - at least for stack based machines. I do think ‘fancy assembler’ is a fitting description in that case.

That's sort of what I was getting at. It seems incremental adoption is likely, but I'm not sure anyone is seriously going to try and rewrite all of Firefox or Linux in Rust.

C++ is definitely very sticky. I’m not yet convinced that Rust will successfully displace it in projects like LLVM or WebKit. Components perhaps, but I think we’re quite a way from these sort of major projects being written in Rust, though

I wish Intel and AMD would support in-band ECC on their consumer platforms. That way you can use the same DIMMs and you make the choice - either sacrifice a few percent of memory for memory correction, or don't. Intel _do_ support this
