I'll add my attempt here: https://gitlab.com/dvdkon/pdb2hpp Its output is kind of ugly, limited by limitations of either the PDB format or Microsoft's terrible parser library, but I've successfully used

I don't know anyone who isn't optimising for development time in some way. That said, most frameworks don't provide any worthwhile error handling infrastructure, and it's a problem. In a Jetpack Compose app I wrote, I cr

Xapian is nice. I've used it before to add interactive autocomplete to a Python web app, since my previous favourite, Whoosh, is unmaintained and somehow slower than grep on a folder (I remember it being pretty fast years back, I'

I believe Vello does this for AA (though I can't find the source now), and it's very fast, running on the GPU via compute shaders.

Maybe not even that: > A separate, nominally 3.3 V, low noise supply (VREG_AVDD) is required for the regulator’s analogue control circuits. It seems it would be painful trying to run this without 3.3 V.

by dvdkon 2y ago
The regulator can take that, but as far as I can see it's only for DVDD, the core voltage of 1.1 V. You also need at least IOVDD, which should be between 1.8 V and 3.3 V. So you'll need to supply some lower voltage externally anyw

Yes, but you'd want that colour chart on the type of film you're scanning, for reasons explained in the OP. Sadly all I found in a brief search were calibration targets on slide film, not negatives.

Having to write and perform migrations for every small schema change is a bore, but it means your software doesn't have to worry about handling different versions of data. Going "schemaless" with version numbers means moving

LCSC has the RK3588S at 60 USD, so the high Intel prices on Mouser might just be artefacts of general parts suppliers selling specialised high-cost parts with high markup.

That's just representative democracy, no? I don't think adding a level to it would help, a new class of voter-politicians would soon emerge anyway, and they'd probably merge with "proper" political parties.

I suppose the usecase would be a "poor man's IPMI", a separate chip dedicated to monitoring the main system, with the ability to power if off and on. Sadly most(?) x86 systems don't offer a non-visual way to access BIOS&

I feel like once you set third-party apps like Uber, bike rental or banking apps as requirements, the only possible solution is sadly a mostly standard cut-down Android phone. The third parties won't support any bespoke OS, so you&#x27

Sorry to be pedantic, but since the licence forbids commercial use, the software isn't open source, but rather just source-available.

The whole "data and (hidden) code mixed in a seemingly-infinite matrix" concept offends my engineering sensibilities. It's not about bugs in Excel , it's about the bugs my spreadsheets will have since I forgot to fill i

Maybe it comes back to the feeling of fun mentioned by GP? I also enjoy working with Vim, while LibreOffice Writer is clunky and Word is not much better (though I have no love for LaTeX). I could make a spreadsheet in under an hour, but if

If you only care about the current citizens'/government's opinion, you actually can ignore history leading up to that point. Geopolitics is complicated, however, and I think most people would bring more nuance to any moral ju

Certainly many parts of the world aren't too big on democracy and self-determination, but from my point of view any military operation not sanctioned by the target region's people or government counts as an invasion. Maybe that&#x

There's various levels of rigour. For casual conversation any source is usually enough, even Wikipedia or a Reddit comment. And sometimes anything short of independently verifying is not enough. The question is, where on this spectru

That would make sense if this was about Arm IP, but it seems (reading between the lines here, sorry) that Arm feels that since Nuvia developed their cores under a specific licence from Arm, Qualcomm now needs to re-obtain that licence. Like

It seems weird to me to buy a company and then have to licence the company's own IP from a third party (AFAIK Qualcomm has an ARM ISA licence). Maybe Nuvia signed away exclusive rights to Arm, but at that point they'd be basical

Do you have a source not behind a "cookie wall"? I remember Qualcomm making phone SoCs with custom cores some years back. Why is it suddenly an issue now? Or were those just rebrands of tweaked Cortex designs? EDIT: From reading t

ISAs are "protected" (read: monopolised) using patents IIRC.

by dvdkon 2y ago
It looks like ARM is hell-bent on making the case for RISC-V, or maybe even on getting someone to challenge their ISA patents in court (if Qualcomm's new chips are custom designs). Here's hoping this kind of greed won't pay o

Most PC and server hardware has FLOSS drivers (with proprietary firmware), even Qualcomm is upstreaming support for the new Snapdragon Elite (maybe it's made by a different team?). I think phone SoCs are the odd ones out, which sadly d

Android can boot from a mainline kernel, but all that gets you is that phones run a kernel forked from mainline, not forked from Google's fork.

Mild spoilers for The Expanse: It does have FTL travel, but it is presented as alien and has a limited impact on the day-to-day lives of characters. I get the feeling this was done for narrative reasons primarily, but it helps with "

When I want to send money to a friend of acquaintance, they generally show/send me a payment QR code, which contains their bank account number and amount. From what I can tell, this is typical in the Czech Republic.
