To the OP: I think this tool would be much more useful/accessible if one could name the cryptographic system, the operation (sign, verify, encrypt, decrypt, hash), specify the key and message sizes, then compute the operational cost. R

A good comparison point would be Germany. It has a very large network of roads too, some designed for very high speeds, and a strong driving culture (perhaps stronger than the continental US).

An ARM64 is "a very powerful computer"? The whole promise with ARM is better thermals and long battery life, not screaming performance. With the thermals/cpu not working, we don't even get that.

Latency is only part of the problem. Unmanaged clock skew leads to race conditions, dramatically impacting circuit behaviour and reliability. That's the reason the industry overwhelmingly uses synchronized circuit designs and clocks to

Sorry to burst your bubble but modern FPGAs are already designed this way (latches paired with muxes and LUTs across the lattice). Take a look at the specs for a Xilinx Spartan variant. You still need the routing bits because clock skew and

I still buy CDs. It's true a number of modern artists do not release on physical media, although vinyl is making a comeback.

Most definitely with you on feeling the fatigue. Whenever my family asks for a new subscription, my response is to ask which one to cut to make room.

This is a silly statement given that guns beat arrows and arrows beat rocks. I believe you meant something more specific. What we are seeing in Ukraine is a war of attrition.

Groceries are simply an example. There's a metric called the PPP: Purchasing Power Parity. It is possible in a short period of high inflation for goods and services to outpace wage growth. So, despite wage gains, the PPP of the median

I am happy to see you proud of your uncle, and am very sorry for your loss. You aptly described why the trades are in decline across the country: > Alas, he died due to a lung full of chromium, which is a real risk when welding the exoti

Hah! Good luck. An economist is as much a politician as those other guys, who were likely lawyers.

It's possible for the price of groceries to grow faster than the median wage. You can still have wage growth coupled with reduced affordability.

Part of the challenge is that most developers are not engineers. In proper engineering training, there are best practices and safety guidelines taught across the board by accredited schools. In software any cowboy with a keyboard can produc

That's not a solution. Those people arrive to the Middle East of their own free will. Everyone in India knows about the abuse, including the labourers and their families. It's just that there are no jobs where they come from, and

I'll give an example: -ffast-math. There's extensive literature out there on how fast-math changes the behaviour of code. I've been bitten by this a couple of times already.

Agreed. You put your finger directly on something that's always bugged me about optimistic code optimization strategies. The code I write is supposed to have deterministic behaviour. If the determinism changes, it should be because of

That's not the intention of zero-trust. As others have said, it's about authenticating the user and associated privilege, not the machine itself. Simply put, zero trust means machines on the intranet must undergo a user-centric au

This is a bad idea. You'll end up stuck in driver hell. Screen-splitting is best done at an OS/app level.
