Ideally the test should include the number of bit errors that were corrected using on-disc ECC. This could then also be used to estimate disc lifetime (preferably using multiple samples).

Where sublimation is the redirection of socially unacceptable impulses or desires into socially acceptable actions, desublimation refers to the acceptance of these impulses and desires, removing the energies otherwise available for higher g

Anything more complicated than this was just too difficult with the early HTML standards (there was no CSS).

I ran this at one time but it was a bit unstable. I remember corresponding with one of the authors who remarked that it was also attempting to emulate the stability of Windows 95. This was ... oh gawd ... back in 1997 or 1998 I think.

Note that this new stepping fixes the notorious E9 erratum which caused GPIOs to misbehave.

It’s just that nesting them arbitrarily is now allowed, right? That shouldn’t matter much for a mere syntax highlighter then. And one could even argue that code that relies on this too much is not really for human consumption.

This is a good practical example for the less experienced that just because it’s written in rust doesn’t mean it’s magically more secure. Who’s gonna write up the CVE?

The GPIOs work fine for output, only input is a problem, so controlling MOSFETs should pose no problem.

This bug makes these chips practically useless for high-impedance inputs such as touch sensors and multi-drop buses. Basically anything with an impedance above 8,2 kΩ. This is really a problem.

It’s still Apache 2.0 with LLVM exceptions. Which is not BSD-compatible.

Putting all of a BSD in separate packages is going to make evolving the various parts together more difficult. See for instance the ease with which OpenBSD does ABI changes (I know FreeBSD doesn’t do that, just an illustration).
