Worth pointing out that there is already a proposal making its way through the process: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-j-extension/blob/697ce9c6b1f1...

I suspect this is bound to happen when your team is composed mostly of people that are not native speakers of the target languages. I have no idea if that's the case in this specific instance, but it would explain why they think it&#x2

Not sure what is the point they are trying to make. Specifically, I don't see any strong argument tying not closing persistent connections right away to any tangible privacy concern - seems like the post considers it an assumption.

Just for sharing: my setup is something like the following exactly because, even though I like google photo, I always felt it was too good to last. I have 2 NAS (one a old custom build running freenas, the other a QNAP) in 2 different conti

Since we have the designers lurking in the thread, I may venture to ask something I have been wondering for a while: would it be possible to use the lid (back of the screen) as an additional radiating surface to improve thermal dissipation

The description mentions that questioners can also record questions... But how can you record questions for a talk that has not happened yet? And if you hypothetically did wouldn't the result be extremely jarring/annoying for view

Isn't his claim kinda... laughable? Most of us live in countries were overall income taxation is over the 26% that in his calculation correspond to the mystical 0.5% wealth tax that over 60 years would scare founders away.

Would be ideal to implement the algorithm more efficiently. I remember my Pentium 100MHz rendering and displaying bigger "plasma fractal" images almost instantaneously in ~1995. In this implementation it takes >1 minute (at lea

Impressive demo, although... Never built a palafitta by hand, but I'm not sure it makes sense for the foundation poles to be only on the external perimeter.

How about side-stepping the problem of big lists of scopes by training a zlib or zstd dictionary with the list of scopes, and then compressing the scopes in the jwt token using this dictionary? Obvious benefit is that you can still represen

As mentioned in my previous comment, it really does sound like you don't know what you're talking about. Commuting in Tokyo is not without problem, but consistently better than commuting anywhere else I've been. Also, you see

The underlying general point you are making is definitely valid, but there are now reserved cars on all trains during rush hours.

Quite so. And, I forgot, you can use the time commuting for something that requires your complete attention - like reading, studying, or even just deep thinking - that you simply can't do when you're driving. So not only it's

I live in Tokyo and I can assure you that living car-free is lovely. I used to love driving, then moved here and stopped caring altogether when I realized that public transport here is significantly faster (and cheaper) than using your car

(While I think this is hilarious) I would advise against this as, by doing it intentionally, you may be breaking the law (hard to know for sure as laws differ between EU countries).

Fair enough, but hardly a problem. Open source the non third-party code, and give instructions about how to link to the third-party blobs that you have already distributed as part of the original firmware. Will it build as-is? Probably not.

Strongly agree, and I would add that if the object in question has any networking capability even the firmware should be open sourced - otherwise the first serious security vulnerability immediately makes said object unfit for purpose and
