Yes, snapcast is really designed for audio streaming. For video it's not going to work (but surely for video cases you want something to stream both audio and video?).

It's a single instruction to then subtract 1 from the result of SLT/SLTI, which then gives you 0xffffffff or 0x00000000 rather than 0 or 1, which you can use as a mask. RISC-V was designed to be a good target for a C compiler, giv

AirPlay uses a fixed latency of 2 seconds, so 500ms is not bad. Either way it's not a technical accomplishment/failure, the longer the latency the longer you can put up with your WiFi breaking without having your audio blip. 500ms

They're making the assumption that the ions and electrons can be held outside of thermal equilibirium (and provide no evidence for this). In reality thermalisation is likely to occur rapidly due to frequent collisions, once thermalised

Even to this day US treasury bonds are priced like that. It's starting to get silly now with 'quarters of a 32nd of a dollar' and such (ie. 1/128, but written as 1/4 1/32 due to the limits of human comprehensio

It makes no difference when you look at the hardware, but an interesting side-note is that Ethernet is natively little bit -endian. That is, if you're sending a byte of data the least significant bit is sent first (think of the pulses

To be fair, when the dissociated gases recombined they would now likely have captured some neutrons, so it wouldn't be entirely without effect. You'd likely end up emitting a lot of C-14 monoxide, which fantastically is both poiso

This is a very difficult project. No FPGAs have anything to decode TMDS. What they have is transceivers that will take the multi-gigabit serial signal and give it to you 32-bits or 64-bits at a time. Then it's your job to handle things

The cost depends on the technology. More modern processes are dramatically more expensive (don't even think about something like 28nm). If you're looking at something ancient like 130nm, 0.35um, etc then it's going to be some

You can actually get an ASIC manufactured for a few thousand dollars via CMP or Europractice. So not quite Google money. The difficulty is in paying for the software licenses you need to go from Verilog to DRC checked GDSII files (which is

I wouldn't get too hung up on the phrase 'IP core', it's basically the equivalent of a software library. A reusable chunk of silicon or verilog. If you want to know about how chips are made then I'd highly recommend

Well even 4 numbers of 10,000 combinations. Say they lock the account out after 100 wrong attempts (hopefully), then assuming you don't choose 1234 or 0000 then you're pretty safe from a brute force attack. I'm guessing they

Further the fact that nuclear power has to pass a higher safety bar than coal is part of what's making it more expensive. If we were rational we'd be saying that it's currently too safe and too expensive and we should be comp
