This isn't your arduno. Having some code running an a regular arduino board doesn't mean that it'll be anything but a massive pain to get it running on this thing. It's an i.mx8 SoC running a shitty linux distro put toge

This isn't "an arduino." It's merely made by Arduino. This thing is an i.mx8 SoC running some shitty arduino distro, combined with an STM32. It has nothing in common with the arduino boards most people typically use.

They're not arguing that google is a monopoly. Everyone, including Google, agrees that google has a 90%+ monopoly. The whole point of the case is how google maintains that monopoly, mainly by paying hundreds of billions of dollars to

Google delivers shit results and then pays every browser vendor that isn't themselves for a dominant search position.

I seriously doubt ARM will hit consumer desktops any time soon. Servers, where people care about power efficiency? Yes. Laptops, where people care about power efficiency? Yes. But on "gaming rigs" where people are content to eat n

That's essentially how things are likely to go with CXL, though the latency isn't likely to be quite as good as on a dedicated DIMM connection or even as "good" as it was with IBM's OMI. The future (imminent in ente

wine and proton do nothing to port across architectures from x86 to ARM. whenever anyone uses wine to run windows software on arm linux they do so using qemu/fex via hangover.

FEX-Emu would like a word. The asahi people recently used FEX to run Portal on arm laptops. They JIT the x86 code to arm and their codegen is good enough to maintain most of native performance. Each new release brings them closer to closing

Classic observation about security: any amount of damage is acceptable so long as you're not culpable. All you have to do is get insurance to cover it and/or tell your data-breach'd users to suck it up.

Suffice to say, you don't just go download your favourite open-source operating system in the mainframe world. You pay IBM a shitload of money for their proprietary one. There is linux-on-Z but that's a completely different enviro

Wrong problem. None of what you're talking about is even remotely relevant. If you can't establish accurate precise time, you have no ability to handle all that political crap layered on top. You're trying to solve a top-of-s

To "run in the web browser" you mean rewriting the game in javascript. No, webassembly wasn't a thing yet at the time (arguably still isn't). I'm not sure emscripten existed, and even when it works it turns 20KB C++

After the NX bit, and cookies, and shadow stacks, and now tagged pointers (again) I'd rather stop pushing the guardrails for shitty code down into the hardware. It costs performance and the bandaging never ends.

That only matters if you care about taking leap seconds into account. If you want atomic clock time, not mushy political calendar time, then an integer number of ticks suffices. Would you prefer if I used the article's term of "pr

You're going to need to answer https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37551163 before you continue with any more of this. Otherwise this isn't going to be a meaningful discussion.

you're stretching the definition of "event" pretty far there. if you're not referring to an atomic-clock-precise instant in time, you're going to need to elaborate as to what your definition of an "event"

Hot take: I'm tempted to say that minecraft is "practically" even if not legally open source. It's very well-understood internally and has been _heavily_ colonized by mod developers. It's at the point where it'

the question is what format. what you're really doing is storing a slash-separated CSV of integers with only one entry, and storing a set of integers is what many old systems already did. the real solution is to store 64-bit seconds (o

answer to points 1-3: Valve controls the update process, linux has a stable ABI, and wine has had no problem adapting to library changes in general. They ship their own windows DLLs. As for hardware changes? There really isn't going to
