Nice, I imagine a BB-8-like robot could be faster.

+1 for Keybase, with chat, git, and public folders, it really is a great service.

Yep, ["1", "2", "3"].map(x => parseInt(x)) works.

Not to mention the amount of hardware standardization that still needs to happen. Having a different image for each manufacturer's hardware is going to get real old, real fast. 5+ years on, ARM on anywhere but mobile seems like a dud.

Yep, liferea has the functionality of tt-rss and other hosted readers. It's not completely bug free, but you can fix them. Not sure why you'd go for a hosted one unless you really wanted mobile reading or something.

There seems to be a few plugins like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/mastodon/ , but it's not RSS, and ultimately different. It could all potentially work together nicely, and I wish federated se

No one has replicated Google Reader's scale definitely. Some combination of email/twitter/reddit/facebook has somewhat taken it's place, but they're not real substitutes if you were using Google Reader.

Not really it seems, unless you want a self-hosted solution like tt-rss, freshrss, or selfoss.

No, it helps discover-ability, and makes me more likely to come back when instead I might not bother. Marketers and someone wanting people to read their content would know the value of RSS. Even if you're ad-supported, I'm more li

Profiles on FB and Twitter are decidedly less discoverable than blogs and potential RSS feeds. I can subscribe in one click from Firefox, same from Chrome with an official add-on. I won't need to come back to the original site unless I

Yep, with their infrastructure it's a much easier task to build something and take advantage of the scale in multiple ways, I believe GReader was a 20% time project too. I don't think any one has come close to matching the ease an

It depends, you can embed ads and content in a feed, or some content and no ads. I think depending on what you're reading, academic, non-profit, ad-supported, etc.. the published RSS feeds add more value than take away for both parties

This was a much more manageable problem when it was all in one place, Google had tags to organize your feeds with, and their magic sorting algorithm wasn't bad at all. Now, if you haven't found any free alternatives that are as go

Everyone is still using it, they're just getting their feeds differently (or going to the website directly) and Facebook might just be the lone big publisher to stop publishing feeds.

Frankly, the publishers that have their own Steam competitors are worse. Steam at least supports Linux well and listens to players more than the publishers. I do wish DLCs were less rampant, but this is a gaming industry issue and less of S

They also have effective lock-in. I don't buy movies on Amazon or Google play because I don't want to be locked in, or Kindle books without de-DRMing them, but Steam games? 80+ and counting.

I think this means reducing the size of USB for phones to mini, then micro, now Type-C shouldn't be applied to desktop and laptop systems where size isn't at a premium. If I'm connecting a 10TB USB HD or a Printer to my deskt

I think they've done rather well for themselves, given their success. They still support charities in a major way, and haven't given into DLCs the way Steam has. Overall, GOG > Humble Bundle > Steam if I must have a game not

I can tell the difference in daily usage, where I would have to restart Chrome every day or two on Linux because of excessive RAM usage (I do keep a lot of tabs open, and simultaneously run IntelliJ IDEA among other JVM programs/docker

Thanks for the info. I will have to start with the picorv32 (RV32IM) or Rocket Chip itself and see what will fit on my Papilio board. If I wanted to hack on RTL and a toolchain, is the GCC port or LLVM port easier to start with? There seem

How does this compare to rocketchip and other RISC-V cores? Which is easiest to get started on with an FPGA? From my looking, rocketchip seems like it is seeing the most active development in open source, but I would love to see a compariso

Yep, switched to FF from Chromium since 54/55 when multi-threaded tabs became default. Don't need to restart once in a while when Chromium has eaten up all the RAM. The extension support is just as good, and some of the labs featu

I'm not sure I would phrase it that way, the two are relatively independent. If you're getting a business laptop, you're likely to get VT-d and TXT. The i7-4710HQ has VT-d and doesn't have TXT or vPro. https:/&#x2F

I don't know of anything using TSX, AMD doesn't have an equivalent in Ryzen even, I wouldn't bet on Zen 2 having it either. If you have a new enough Intel CPU, OpenCL on an Iris GPU is better than or as good as AVX/2&#x2

The lowest TDP for Ryzen is 65W, so while there has been at least one laptop announced with a Ryzen 7, it might be the most thermally throttled CPU/GPU combination ever. AMD has announced Ryzen APUs, but the specifics aren't out y

I've used htpdate for the times ntp has been blocked by firewalls. It's worked fine for me without hiccups.

Just targeting you at that level by definition means invading your privacy to the extent you may not want, or want to control and can't. Just to name a few things: 3rd party cookies, whatever data is mine-able from your profiles, your
