We've already had TVs which only started serving ads after a few months of use. What's stopping them from selling TVs which stop working if it hasn't been able to connect to the mothership for a few weeks? And instead of a fu

The problem is that they are charging a per-minute fee, and a fee at the same order-of-magnitude as actually running the tests . If you're offering cloud-hosted runners for $0.002/minute, asking that same $0.002/minute as an

Obviously. If you use a language which inherently makes memory safety bugs in regular code impossible, all memory safety bugs will be contained to the "trust me, I know what I'm doing - no need to check this" bypass sections.

It is really unfortunate that a lot of services expect to have write access to their config files, so you can tweak settings with a web UI. If this weren't the case, plenty of containers could probably have a fully read-only filesystem

Do either of them work for container-to-container traffic? Imagine container A which exposes tightly-coupled services X and Y. Container B should be able to access only X, container C should be able to accesd only Y. For some reason there j

It has a decent bunch of thermal mass, so it takes quite a long time for it to reach air temperature during a cold snap or heat wave. This makes it a decent heat source during the winter and cold source during the summer - especially for sh

Counterpoint: who needs that much fast storage? 4 M.2 NVMe drives is quite doable, and you can put 8TB drives in each. There are very few people who need more than 32TB of fast data access, who aren't going to invest in enterprise hard

That's a workstation board, not a regular consumer board, and it is over 5 years old by now - it has even been discontinued by Supermicro. Buiding a new system with that in 2025 would be a bit silly.

The thing is, what's the market for them? If you care even remotely about speed, you'll get an NVMe drive. If you're a data hoarder who wants to connect 50 drives, you'll go for spinning rust. Enterprise will go for U.3.

I don't think there are any consumer boards which support this? In practice you can put 4 drives in the x16 slot intended for a GPU, 1 drive each in any remaining PCIe slots, plus whatever is available onboard. 8 should be doable, but

Yes, but the goal was "accurate capture of timer count on input pulse", not "get a 1PPS pulse somewhere on your board".

by crote 11mo ago
That is exactly the problem: you need to use PIO to constantly read the pins, and analyze the bitstream in software. At high speeds this takes up a substantial fraction of your compute resources, and it makes any kind of sleep impossible.

That's the thing: with proper dedicated peripherals you don't need the software-defined coprocessors. Sure, they are great if you want to implement some obscure-yet-simple protocol, but in practice everyone is using the same han

To give a very basic example: its times can't do input capture. This means you have no easy way to do high-accuracy pulse time measurement. Compare the two datasheets, and the STM33's timers literally have orders of magnitude more

The path is obvious, is it not? Having two independent cellular modems in a car is obviously silly, so it only makes sense to use the same module both for the mandatory emergency calling and for the telemetry. Because the emergency callin

The RP2xxx also comes with excellent documentation and libraries. If anything, with the drag-n-drop flashing it is even easier to work with than an Arduino.
981.
by crote 11mo ago
The flipside of this is that the RP2xxx has rather poor hard IP, and the PIO is not quite powerful enough to make up for it. They are great for basic hobbyist projects, but they just can't compare to something like an STM32 for more

If I understand correctly, a big problem is that the calculation isn't embarrasingly parallel: the various chunks are not independent, so you need to do a lot of IO to get the results from step N from your neighbours to calculate ste

The end of Crucial is a symptom, not a cause. Crucial is merely Micron's factory brand. Nothing is stopping OEMs like G.Skill or Kingston from buying DRAM chips from Micron and putting them on consumer RAM sticks. Well, that's the
