They're letting my imagination run away with me. Imagine: A tablet form factor with a documented electrical interface for magnetic attachments (like an MS Surface style keyboard) that can run Android or Linux, or be repurposed for embe

I appreciate the pragmatic approach. Makefiles are the worst solution for running builds, except for all the others that have been tried.

This should probably just link directly to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PwDFddpo4c (if you're impatient, skip to 1:50).

The pre-Internet media landscape flourished for a century with "dumb" ads. Surveillance capitalism is not inevitable; we allowed it to happen. (Sorry, I ninja-edited what you quoted to be clearer.)

What's crazy is that in the century before the modern Internet, radio and TV stations, newspapers, and magazines somehow survived just fine selling "dumb" advertising (sometimes supplemented with end-user fees). What we didn&

I see. I suppose in a perfect world, devs would just follow general best practices and search engines would reward that, and nobody would be looking for evil voodoo to boost traffic. And I would have a pet unicorn!

That's a bit like trying to sneak guns past the TSA without clearing your "security testing" with the higher-ups beforehand. Believe it or not, straight to jail.

This story of Carole Ely and Lore Harp reminded me a little of the (fictional) women in Halt and Catch Fire . Fantastic show. I wonder if Vector Graphic was an inspiration for the writers.

Pro tip: Go into the browser's dev tools, select the div with class="screen-effects-module_screenEffects__bNTzl crt-screen-effects", and under Styles uncheck the CSS animation. That gets rid of that annoying wobble effect.

Generally yes, if you have a bunch of const data in your C++ code, it will go in .rodata. Depending on the compiler/flags/optimizations, of course. https://stackoverflow.com/a/44938843

const_cast is only for removing const from references or pointers that actually refer to a non-const object. You can't declare a const variable and then modify it with const_cast. See "Notes" at: https://en.cpprefe

A donation implies that no strings are attached. If Microsoft wants ffmpeg to do something for money, they have to make a business arrangement. They can't just throw some coins at ffmpeg's feet and then start making demands.

I don't see any major TSMC fabs[0] near the epicenter in Hualien. The Taichung fabs are closer but on the western side, while the Tainan fabs are pretty far away from the quake. Edit: There will be some disruption as TSMC has evacuated

It is based on the brain, but only in the loosest possible terms; ML is a cargo cult of biology. It's kind of surprising that it works at all.

The solution is to disable JavaScript and not run any untrusted apps. And then move to a shack in the woods and live off the land, because you just cut yourself off from modern society.

It's mentioned at the bottom of this article[0] that Intel had an obsession with using the smallest packaging and pin count possible, while competitors did not see any need to be that conservative. I wonder if that has something to do

The "reference implementation" in C seems to just let the int wrap around. It also does an out of bounds array access if the string contains non-ASCII chars.

Given that 85^5 > 2^32, it's a little strange that they also didn't specify what happens if the text encodes a number that doesn't fit in 4 bytes.

Does this technique fingerprint based on hardware/driver/OS differences with audio processing, or just the browser software? I believe there are (or were, hopefully) similar techniques using <canvas> that exposed differences

I'm not sure if nuclear weapons are a good example. In the 1940's most of the non-weapons-related nuclear research was public (and that did make certain agencies nervous). That's just how scientists tend to do things. While
