The software portion of this has a common real-world use case: keyword spotting (voice command) in interactive phone calls.

I stopped bothering with MP3s over a decade ago in favor of AAC (in .m4a) and for that I use AtomicParsley ( https://github.com/wez/atomicparsley ) on the command line...should anyone be looking for such a tool.

Yeah, it's technically available, just not feasible for doing much else. Nobody really made use of productivity/DBLPAL/etc. modes just to get the higher DMA period rates beyond ~29 KHz. None of the trackers support it (Digi

The Amigas were open and easy to upgrade as well. The exception was graphical capabilities for the "home computer" models like the A500/600/1200 - they are quite compact and the available solutions consequently suffered

Upvoted. These are indeed the real reasons. Commodore didn't give the hardware development team the resources and go-aheads that they needed in order to keep the Amiga competitive, mainly as a gaming machine and incidentally as an extr

Yes, because Spamhaus is a commercial enterprise. My own experience with their "free tier" limit is that it's generous and sufficient for personal use.

As Larry Wall said, Perl makes easy things easy and hard things possible. Almost the entire backend of my telecoms employer is written in Perl, and as a result of sticking with it we have a code base which is lean and runs fast and efficien

If you were the last person to get to the train station but the train still hadn't left, then you really were not late for the train.

> "In what way?" They were last, but not late. SMP in the x86 world was miniscule in terms of multi-CPU setups. It didn't "happen" until the multi-core era, and OpenBSD was well in time for that.

FFS can crash quite safely. The chance of lost data is incredibly small, especially with "softdep" out of the way. It just doesn't come back online as fast as a journaled file system will.

Throughput depends also on how large (and how well/poorly phrased) your PF rule-set is. Up until 2021 or so my own OpenBSD home router ran on some 14nm era low-power passively cooled Celeron I picked up in 2015, and I managed to get ab

For OpenBSD it's significant and somewhat of a milestone because its network stack has been trailing a bit in terms of transfer speeds when compared to e.g. Linux. The kernel has had a lot of "big locks" that hamper executi

These, as well as NES dittos, were all over eBay and AliExpress for $3 a piece some 10 years ago. Probably still are. I've got one of each, just to get the right feeling when playing Zelda 1 and Pocky & Rocky on emulators.
