FaceID requires special cameras and infrared lighting system. Perhaps they would add that to the mbp one day but that would be a crazy leak if they showed off that capability now.

Well, I’ve faced some rather hard to debug issues because of esd. Wastes a lot of time and so QA makes strict rules about it. Maybe it’s not actually too common but you can never really rule it out.

Patients in this article refer to positive tests and no hospitalizations. The article also mentions that they are currently not showing symptoms or only mild symptoms. This is expected based on our understanding of the disease. Media editor

there's a very widely used measure here in the academic community: instructions per cycle (ipc). IPC boils down to how many instructions can you actually complete per clock cycle once you account for memory, caching, etc.

CNN is highly editorialized and borders infotainment. I too am struggling to find good sources of professional journalism.

1 Trillion = 1 million x 1 million. The scale of distribution must be astounding. How much traffic is being generated by a single endpoint in one of these?

I typically run a number of extensions: duckduckgo privacy essentials, ublock origin, privacy badger, and whatever built-in firefox has. Perhaps this is overkill but they all cover slightly different things.

The iPhone did two amazing things: 1) it offered full web browser experience. No one had done this in a phone yet. They also banned flash from day 1 and favoured development using standard web technologies. The side benefit from all of this

Agreed. When this all started, a number of academics who have been studying remote learning spoke out. There was already a push to move some high school classes online in my province for some stupid cost saving reasons before this all start

All of the cool computer science problems are in the other sciences. This one in particular looks like a challenging engineering problem to scale up.

Sweden is not doing an experiment. They are taking the conventional approach. It is the rest of us who are undertaking a massive experiment. In the end, we will have to account for the collateral damage as well as any net lives saved.

I’m going disagree with this. Elliptic curves are just a scalar private key multiplied with a static point to make a public key. It’s very easy to make a naive implementation and there are far fewer gotchas.

I was furloughed as were many of my neighbours and friends in tech. Some are drawing up lists for layoffs as we speak. There’s few job opportunities now. Many of us hate the cut but do enjoy the stability of keeping our jobs. Overall, I thi

Hypothetical, but would intel be better off trying to allocate one of its 70 cores as a dedicated crypto processor with dedicated memory rather than fall down the trap of trying to safely share resources?
