Also related, Tom (Explosions & Fire/Extractions & Ire) has an in progress series of synthesising cubane (not octanitrocubane), in his shed. Whilst not as energetic as octanitrocubane, it is still an interesting molecule. http

Some Linux code is dual licensed, a lot of the DRM subsystem for example, I’m pretty sure GPU support on the BSDs are based on ports of it.

Confidential computing lets you reduce your TCB to the software running in your guest, be that a full OS like Linux or maybe some unikernel type thing, and the hardware itself. The intent is that a malicious host could not read or modify gu

I guess Apple have some sort of curation, or maybe don't use 7digital at all, because Apple Music shows no results for "From the box".

There's one site that scrapes GitHub as well - it does at least have a link to the original page, but I've only ever opened it by mistake...

Clipping or culling? I expect it’s mostly the latter unless your camera ends up intersecting the geometry.

Even with a guard band don’t you need to at least test the polygons for Z clipping prior to the perspective divide? Clipping in X and Y is simpler at least, and again the guard band hopefully mostly covers you.

PowerVR was especially funky. They used planes to ‘carve’ out polygons. It meant that they could genuinely draw convex polygons with arbitrary numbers of side by using ~N+1 planes. I found it kind of cool to try and read through the simulat

Aren't they normally resistive screens? They don't have the same issues in wet weather as capacitive screens do.

We even got standards for audio and networking over USB - printing sadly, not so much.

Makes it easier, but you can't entirely avoid relocations. https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/11/03/position-independen... seems like a decent explanation.

The data I can find with a very quick google shows that higher vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians and so the move towards SUVs and trucks has put pedestrians at higher risk . - https://www.iihs.org/news/detail&#

Not just that, but at the specific expense of pedestrians and cyclists.

I guess you could include your own dynamic linker in your binary. Mmap the shared object, perform the relocations, etc. It seems like you could write a static library to do this so that the Redox itself doesn't need any specific suppor

I should probably switch over… I’ve been using OctoPrint + Klipper for years and never got around to switching to Mainsail.

Still no RISC-V support so we’ve got more platforms yet.

I suspect this is a joke, but I did find that it was a little overzealous with the filtering. I was trying to get someone (not a specific person) shouting or with an angry expression, and a few prompts I came up with were blocked. Not banne

I wonder what counts as "custom cryptographic software"?

Agreed, that’s what makes this kind of interesting personally. I tend to prefer smaller devices for travel, being able to get both that and more screen real estate would be pretty cool.

It looks like the vmnet patches made it into QEMU - maybe try setting the network device to use that: -netdev vmnet-macos,id=net,mode=bridged -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net Note: You'll need to run QEMU as root to use vmnet, non-roo

As well as the main Explosions and Fire channel there is also Extractions and Ire - run by the same person but less focused on energetics and often goes into more depth on the chemistry.
