Please also note that they did not run Shor's algorithm to compute this. They had to greatly simplify the algorithm, so that it works specifically for the number '21'.

BTW, this is not a new issue. Crispin Glover sued Zemeckis for using his likeness in Back to the future II. Glover hated the ending of part I so much that he refused to take part in the sequels (well, he also thought he was underpaid). Back

Unfortunately, it is not that easy. First off, "contract law", apart from being incredibly complex, is also different depending on where you are located. Even within the US, we have seen different rulings on whether EULAs are enfo

Why has every external link on this site a "?ref=davidgomes.com"? What is the point of that? It's obviously done automatically, but it's kind of ridiculous.

For RAM, yes. Soldering it down right next to the CPU allows for lower voltages and faster bus speeds. For SSDs, it's more difficult. It surely makes no difference for standard PCIe, there's really no excuse to solder that one to

People forget that it is not just the processor that consumes power. The reason the new MacBooks are so efficient is not just because they are ARM-based, it is also because they have incredibly energy efficient screens, WiFi, RAM, SSDs, etc

Thanks. This was also requested for the UI 7 years ago https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/12776 and then closed with the claim that this was implemented, when in fact, it was not.

This looks super impressive, but at the same time, I'd really like to hear someone actually working in molecular biology what they think of this. While I am working in this field, I only deal with software, not molecular design and wet

For which products do you pay more than 100$ in license cost per month and developer? I only know prices like these for fairly specific niches, like development environments for very specific hardware/FPGA, or sophisticated physics sim

Yes, I remember the Docker thing, but I also remember that at least the language parsers we were interested in were only supported through some kind of plugin mechanism, which the OSS version did not support, so it was useless for us, so I

Did anyone actually use the open version? I dimly remember that I looked into it like 2-3 years ago, but all the really interesting stuff was not included in that. The pricing for enterprise was absolutely bonkers, something like 100$ per m

I always get a used phone (2-3 years old) that is officially supported by LineageOS. I've made good experiences with Motorola Moto G phones. A good alternative are Pixels or OnePlus. My current phone is a Motorola Moto G6 Plus, which w

A default LineageOS installation will not be rooted. There are really less and less reasons why you'd even want a rooted phone. The killer feature used to be ad-blocking, but most ad-blockers can work without root nowadays. The backup

To my knowledge, there are different levels of passing SafetyNet. I also use Magisk to hide root and use the safetynet-fix-module, but it still detects the unlocked bootloader. However, for instance my banking apps run fine as long as they

Actually, it seems they have mostly fixed this, but I had to clean the app data to make it work again. Sometimes you get "Oops, you are rate limited", but that was just temporary.

by deng 3y ago
You are right, this is another issue. With an unlocked bootloader, you'll not be able to fully pass SafetyNet, for instance. I've also seen some forum posts that this should be possible for Motorola Moto G phones, but there were s

Has the author of this article ever used a custom ROM? There are so many free alternatives for these apps out there. If I remember correctly, LineageOS ships with their own version of Dialer/Messages anyway. I usually replace them with

That's a neat little project, but as almost always nowadays, don't even expect to save any money by building an inverter yourself, unless you have the expensive parts (transformer, mosfets, driver board) lying around anyway. Other

Yes, pretty much what this article also says, but I find it hard to accept that as an answer. I can't imagine that this had a lot of maintenance cost. As far as I could see, the whole thing was excellent and pretty much finished, I can
