I don’t think so... the one local storage mentioned originally would not qualify as a backup.

That’s a very misleading headline. I got the impression this was something akin to VHDL or Verilog or SystemC in python. “Programming Hardware” the way it’s used here is pretty much the same as vanilla python, though I suppose a lot in this

Nope I get it and I think it’s absolute bunk. And while I grant others are entitled to their opinion I think the implicit dismissal of my (not uncommon) opinion is condescending. As pointed out RMS doesn’t support this idea, and while he’s

It happens temporarily all the time of course such that there are plenty of talented people underpaid at a given time but long term most will not be. I along with friends went through bouts of shitty jobs, but it is rare to stay that way. H

1 really doesn’t hold water. Some ISPs in the US still waive the fee if you don’t rent equipment, so that doesnt really strengthen the argument. I now have an ISP that doesn’t waive the fee but that doesn’t matter either, since it is not op

Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation to your question how the memristor completes the quartet of inductor, capacitor and resistor among the differentials I, V, Φ, and q.

Commercial Unix extinguished themselves without much help from Microsoft. The Halloween documents were about Linux after all (over 20 years ago!).. the commercial Unix players have only themselves to blame. Unless we’re going to blame all t

In my day, bricked meant recovery was impossible without dragging out a soldering iron. This gave way to needing to at least physically disassemble something to get to a jtag or similar port. If you can recover the device with user accessib

Ttf has bytecode for a stack interpreter with conditionals and loops (jump instructions and loop all). That’s declarative in the sense that all code is data, but i would say it is imperative.

Lol you’ve never stolen a book from the library before either intentionally or not? This should be pretty straightforward but the more valuable something is the more incentive there is to steal it. Meanwhile, while you can throw more money

The fidelity of standard non high bias tape at compact cassette speeds is already shit compared to even low bitrate mp3. It’s not a problem in practice.

Suffice it to say that Packard was involved in X before XFree86. But the point was that although he was an actual productive contributor he was far from working outside of a consensus. There’s really no sides here. The market could have con

I don’t see your point. A large base of Nim users are looking for a pragmatic alternative to the C/C++ family without the aggressive anti-modernism of Go. Nim is certainly not the only player in this realm, but far as I know there isn’

Like many CA laws I don’t see how this is practical. Unless there is some reference to market ranges or something might as well say range starts at minimum and up to whatever made up budgeted amount, depending on experience.

I mean I think the “sole” contributor your are referring to is Keith Packard? Don’t see any reason to not name names here. In any case I guess what I find odd is that while he did a shit ton of work in spearheading a fork, it’s not like it

For a time in the 90s it was very popular. It was often paired with AOLserver for web applications. And it became a glue/scripting language for some heavyweight programs like EDA tools. I mean it was popular enough to somewhat ironical

This is not bricking. And really has nothing to do with smart devices. I assume this device could be recovered through the usual wired diagnostic port means, so the reception issue is an annoying situation but not anything close to “brickin

It’s a little more to it than that... I think you are severely understating the necessity of “speeding up the process.” IP concerns aside, an internal scan chain may still not give you features such as practical monitor mode debugging with
