Personally I feel like if I want to try to make even a small impact on the world around me I'd have to make a profound impact on my own life. And I've never been prepared to do this. I could be wrong though.

They're not doing everything right. They're doing something objectionable, like other people are also doing. Except they're being called out for it because of their reputation of having one of the most hostile anti-competitiv

Microsoft has a history of anti-competitive practices that crippled the industry. In either case, serious objections are justified and severe handling of one case doesn't invalidate the handling of the other.

Depends. If VMWare had the history Microsoft had one would be naive not to get "so worked up".

For many years now the acronym "DAP" has been used as the name of the debug interface for ARM based SoCs. Embedded software development with Visual Studio Code is already a thing and will likely become more popular. This can be a

People claim to want open hardware and the security you get from not being forced to trust a variety of companies. But then when it's time to put their money down suddenly freedom is too expensive. This is exactly why we've arrive

You're going to need a lot more than half a billion dollars and 5 years to create processors that can compete with the single thread cost/performance of Intel or AMD chips. I don't believe that's what people who are gett

I'm surprised to hear that the print-on-demand books aren't cheap. I know you're getting flexibility with print-on-demand, which has value, but if the quality is so much worse than traditionally printed books (in my experienc

The last couple of O'Reilly books I purchased from Amazon were of poor quality. The content was fine but the physical item was shocking. They were probably print-on-demand books made on the cheap. But the retail price was what you&#x27

A company like AMD isn't going to be concerned with customer privacy and security unless it affects their bottom line. If the market was hostile to closed drivers and processor firmware no one would bother selling these types of system

Can you explain what you mean by "Maybe if RISC-V is lucky, semiconductor companies will start to allow customers to program the RISC-V core"?

I don't see PowerShell as a Bash replacement, I see Bash as more of a cmd replacement. I'm a user, but I'm also a developer so Bash works for my needs. PowerShell, not so much. It's powerful, no doubt, but it's not

Hopefully one day Bash will be the default Windows CLI.

I assume people aren't making non-x86 desktop or workstation systems because they cost a lot of money to develop, even just a motherboard. If the system cannot run Windows, you've just made the whole idea economically infeasible.

You're right, Purism doesn't offer anything no one else offers at the moment. It looks like they're trying to grow a customer base then use that base as leverage when it comes time to negotiate with OEMs over features, open d

The industry has been abuzz about these types of structures for years. It would be interesting to see if this is practical at scale: making millions of these types of chips per month with a high yield.

I have no doubt the spec is crap, but some implementations are better (read: somewhat less problematic) than others. Which leads me to believe there is some degree of freedom with respect to quality here.

If companies spent more time on their Bluetooth stack implementations and less money on the legal wrangling, BT wouldn't be so shitty.
