Why not buy from brands that make consumer products? To me, Pine products are for hackers & makers. I've three pinecils, both pinepowers, a couple "woodpecker" serial dongles, and some related accessories. Everything I&

I think removing the side panel would ruin your Mac's look more than a hidden switch behind the side panel does.

How do you know they're making money? Producing electronics at small quantities is expensive. Prototypes are expensive. Economies of scale is everything when it comes to producing cost-effective electronics.

I kind of disagree about the language. Not because I wouldn't want an implementation in a fast language, but because I think a well designed chat system must be performant even if your language is an order of magnitude (or two) slower

Wow there's so much FUD, hyperbole, and rigged language there. "Interesting" exchanges alright. They go ahead and make FBI and backdoors bold to shock the reader but conveniently rest of the context is left out. The act

I agree on all three points. I might even agree on the proposed name; not that I care too much. All I'm saying is that I'm happy the state of art of fast (but insecure) generators is improving and people have better options than

You don't need to define good in an absolute sense to see how one thing can be better than another. The flaws of an MCG or LCG are easily witnessed, so it's totally fair for someone to go find out if it's possible to do bette

by foxfluff 5y ago
So did PCG or xoroshiro leave the airbag out of MCGs or what? Or are you one of those who pretend that there was never any legitimate use case for any non-cryptographic PRNG?
465.
by foxfluff 5y ago
If you want to design a cryptographic RNG that falls between LCGs and PCG in speed, please have a go at it. Meanwhile we'll use our small and fast PRNGs and strive to make them as good as they can possibly be for non-cryptographic use

You were building a simple website that tracks users or what? You can totally make a simple website with zero legalese and no cookie popups.

Yea, the way this worked out for me as a kid was that I needed all the money I got to upgrade my PC and wouldn't have any left over for buying games so I just pirated these games. Anyway, without numbers that's just a theory and m

The primary reason I've used ytdl is to work around youtube's crappy buffering. In the past you used to be able to leave a youtube page open and it'd buffer the whole video but now it stops at like.. thirty seconds? Have fun

Yea, it's embarrassingly bad. It sounds like their idea of open source is something along the lines of "slap a MIT license on it, throw it over fence, and hope random nerds on the internet finish it while we wait idly."

It depends on whether you view evil as something absolute or relative. If evil is absolute, then an animal (or an entire species) can be seen as evil by nature. Another species may be seen as good or neutral by nature even if the animal it

I'm wondering the same. Is it accidental contamination or are they doing it deliberately? Out of malice or out of ignorance? Or is it someone else upstream putting radioactive materials in the products that end up being used as a co

Are you saying your differential line is causing EMI if it's not length matched? Or are you saying that the receiver won't do a good enough job cancelling common mode noise if you're not length matched? For that, I'd li

And that's gobs. What's your typical space between the lines in a pair? Five mils? You run them side by side and you'd be hard pressed to make a length error significant enough to matter. Yeah you do need to be aware of i

I think the takeaway is that EMI looks flat for a while if you run half a kilometer of wire next to a half-a-kilometer long source of EMI. The leading edge isn't there for one nanosecond and then gone, it travels down and continues to
