VMWare Player. I needed to run Linux in a VM with nested virtualization and hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. VirtualBox doesn't support the former and I couldn't get 3D acceleration to work even after installing the guest additio

Am I the only one who hates comments that are parsed as compiler directives? It feels like a hack. Hopefully Go 2 includes a proper attribute syntax.

Fuse is a kernel module, so probably not.

It tells the kernel which system calls and file paths your process intends to use. If it uses any others, because of malicious code injection or whatever, your process is killed immediately. http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-cu

Nope, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment, actually. But I appreciate the concern!

All of those responses sound like something that could come out of an AIML[1] bot and those have been around for almost 15 years. I fail to see how any of this is revolutionary. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIML

Depending on how often I use it and the audio formats, it could be. Maybe not for someone with a 300GB/mo cap, but I'm stuck with 15, so every megabyte counts. Either way, my point is that there's no reason for it to use any

I've been toying with something similar (mostly on paper so far) involving custom GStreamer elements for voice recognition/synthesis, a Wit.ai-like intent resolver for command & control, and ChatScript-like pattern matching fo

One thing I don't like about Echo, IFTT, and others like them is the fact that everything has to go through "the cloud." If I'm sitting at home and want to dim my lights, why do I need to send my voice to Amazon's s

PocketSphinx[1] isn't bad. I'm sure one could get better accuracy with a DNN recognizer, but good luck getting something like Kaldi to run on a smartphone. 1: https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx 2: htt

Exede seems to be moving away from this model, actually. Their new plans don't offer unlimited periods at all, but instead, some types of traffic are exempt from the caps. The problem with that is Exede won't say exactly what type

Probably not much. The WebRTC reference implementation[1] by Google and Mozilla is fairly easy to build and embed, assuming your Internet connection can handle a complete checkout of the Chromium repository. Unfortunately it only supports t

The OpenBSD developers are concerned with working on OpenBSD, not leading some crusade against closed-source firmware. If it bothers you that much, then do as Theo says and don't use hardware that requires the blobs. If there are no op

I'm sure I wouldn't want to find myself at the other end of a Theo or Linus rant, but they sure are entertaining to read. Let's face it: a majority of people probably wish they could be so direct, especially when dealing with
