I'm not an ST fanboy and they're not a vendor I use, but they are very popular in the 32-bit Cortex-M space, so they're clearly doing something right. Meanwhile, companies like Microchip that put effort into accessible docu

But is the lingo really misleading? There's nothing incorrect about "all-wheel drive", "four-wheel drive", or "4x4". The engine is turning all four wheels. The behavior of open differentials is somewhat co

Yes, and even some of the responses to your comment are wrong (or rather, they are right only for certain brands). Which probably means that enforcement is going to be... hilarious. What we can decipher is what the NPS is angling for. Man

I'm not arguing you can't be angry with them, I'm just saying that to me, it detracts from the point about the new platform. Regarding #1, I'm sure you know that peripherals in the MCU world mean more than just digital I

I think it's a good way to introduce these chips, and it's a great project, but the author's (frankly weird) beef with STM32H7 is detracting from the point they're trying to make: > So, in conclusion, go replan all yo

It's funny to see it framed in the context of music when it's a pretty universal behavior, essentially limited only by how many cool upgrades exist for a particular hobby. It's a particularly common affliction for photographe

The obvious answer is "no", but it makes you wonder. The first wave of tech platforms that defined the online experience for millions (Aol, Myspace, Yahoo, etc) are now largely gone. Will the history repeat with the giants of toda

I think the mistake you might be making here is that some level of routine engagement and mentorship is needed to sustain the community. If I'm an expert, but I can only say something useful once every six months when some super-niche

I think that's basically the answer. In many cases, the process is initiated by lawyers looking for litigants. It's a big payday for the law firm and peanuts-out-of-your-own-pocket for actual shareholders.

Something like a window that displays an unobtrusive temperature or forecast could be nice. But I can't imagine the market for that is huge compared to the market for TVs. Plus, windows put in place stay in place for decades, so it&#x2

It's still like that. There's a lot of weird things you're gonna find on the tail end of Github repositories, or Pastebin uploads, Imgur, or YouTube... it's just hard to find unless you crawl the whole thing or otherwi

It's really easy to offer advice like that on the internet, but having found myself in a couple of unexpectedly dangerous situations in real life... it just happens. You're not as rational as you think you are. I keep going back t

It should be noted that this article talks about a pretty niche use case without really spelling it out. Camera optics are generally designed not to exhibit this kind of distortion. As other commenters note, wide-angle lenses are ground t

What is the outcome you're hoping for, though? It's not useful for people to live with vague anxiety. Are there specific solutions we want them to pursue, and that aren't being handled by the government?

I don't think there's a pattern suggesting that. Many autoimmune diseases are more prevalent in less polluted parts of the world. The strongest links appear to be genetic, in that some diseases (e.g., Sjogren's syndrome) are

I actually think these are very different. Big tech companies generally care about security because most of the time, it aligns with their self-preservation. They don't want their secret sauce leaked, they don't want internal mail

The scare quotes here are uncalled for: it is privacy-preserving. The approach allows measurement without disclosing who, specifically, did what with the ad. The best objection to these proposals isn't privacy, it's that a brows

I don't think this is quite right. The reads were not sequential - the whole point was that the tool was coalescing and reordering files for optimal layout and access times. Plus, you usually had some gaps in the drive layout - a mix o

I don't think it's about accuracy. It's just a different world. A bug in a smart contract exposes them to unavoidable, catastrophic losses. An XSS on google.com... doesn't.

No one paying you $2.5 million for exclusive access to an exploit is planning to do anything even remotely "legitimate". On a good day, you might be selling to the CIA and helping catch bin Laden. On a bad day, you're selling

There are two reasons for this. First, you're not competing with the gray market because it's quite simply a folly. If a government badly wants a 0-day, they will essentially pay whatever it takes . If you offer a million, they w

They're rich, don't hold civil liberties in high esteem, and don't have a lot of in-house expertise. So, yeah - along with some neighboring states, they're a buyer for tools they use to target journalists, dissidents, et

There's no specific law against selling exploits. The problem is the subsequent crime - and if someone wants to pay you a lot of money for a 0-day in Google, it's hard to come up with an explanation other than that they're ab
