As a former embedded SW engineer, I'm willing to put money against it (for 99% of the use cases for micro controllers by volume), most of the ones I worked with were 8 or 16 bit, had at most 1 MB of volatile storage, and you were lucky

Sadly, thats the IoT world I want to live in. All the devices communicate only through the internal network. This increases security a ton by default. If you want to use it outside your network, then you do it the old fashioned way, by sett

As long as Firefox and Chrome are somewhat similarly performant, I will always choose Firefox. I'm trying to wane off google products and services as much as I can, as I believe they have too much control over our digital lives. Most p

I've run dual boot systems before. Not a fan of having to reboot to switch basically between programs. Thats why I used a Virtual machine and now I use Windows Subsystem for Linux. Once we move to fully .net core shop, I'll be mak

I have actually moved to vscode and I love it so far. I still can't move to Linux since I need visual studio for some older projects, but I hope I'll be able to make the switch in the future. In the mean time vscode + windows sub

Barely faster than NVMe SSDs when fully saturated. At low queue depths and in mixed workloads (especially when overwriting data) Optane absolutely destroys the competition. This is a database dream drive. Only problem is the low capacities

I was talking max OC on R7 (4.0 - 4.1) vs max OC (5.0-5.1) on i7-7th gen though. Which is a good indicator of the max clocks each platform can get.

I've driven ferraris in las vegas racetracks. Affordable experience. The fit and finish was far below any luxury vehicle by far. The R8 was miles ahead in comfort and luxury details, but then those cars are not not designed as a luxury

The only advantage of the Yubikey is absolutely massive though. It means not having to worry about revocating private keys or dealing with recurring forgeries after a security breach. As long as you mitigate the current exploit, you've

AMDGPU beats Nvidia proprietary blobs on every measure. Stability, Performance (Vega 64s hanging with 1080Ti in some games), ease of installation. Especially now that both the kernel developers and AMD are making a concerted effort to integ

Because you can find libraries for all the "Enterprise" technologies easily. Besides .net, not many ecosystems offer that kind of library support. From XML signatures, to pkcs11, to complete soap support (including ws-security), t

AMDGPU Pro is actually built on top of the open source driver, so if AMD wants and can commit its features into the open source driver it shouldn't be that hard. I don't know why they decided to build the proprietary interface if

Same logic could be applied to the iphone vs the ipod, people who wanted an iphone but not an ipod. The reality of the market is that either you kill your cash cow (with a hopefully bigger cash cow) or someone else will do it for you.
