It's hard to overstate how awesome build.sh is. If you have some powerful desktop/laptop running virtually any modern POSIX OS, you can easily build for an embedded board like an RPi or Beagelboard, obscure retro targets, or stan

The American security state has been broken for a long time, principally because it seems to perpetually turn in on itself and the citizenry, so without devolving deep into politics I would posit he was just the wrong guy at the wrong time

This is pretty facepalm, has the author actually used any of these extended epoll APIs? inotify - deprecated. aio - complete footgun in linux. Whatever point is trying to be made here is lost in reality, I fail to see how having a bunch

Correct, Johannes Lundberg implemented this on my team at LLNW and we needed to preserve the existing interface and behavior at both an API and ABI level.

Set up an eBay saved search, they are the most common of the MCA RS/6000s to show up. Price target $150-200. If that doesn't work out in a reasonable timeframe (say 1 year) contact me.. otherwise better to rescue from the market

I'll get back to it eventually, I have 8 7011s with the intention of circularly netbooting them to rapidly test kernel builds. Also have a bunch of others (several of each 7006, 7009, 7012, 7013 and then the newer prep, chrp, P4/

IBM's POWER and POWER2 were also many (8-10 depending) chips in CMOS which was an exotic approach as most RISCs had converged to single die microprocessors but made it possible to beat a lot of vendors in the superscalar punch and push

Once upon a time you would buy an entire system from the EDA vendor like Mentor Graphics, Zuken or whomever, early on those could be quite bespoke and then eventually they used COTS like the HP 9000/300 and Apollo DN10000. And then the

Lovely system, the R8000 is indeed a rare bird.. given the hype not a particularly remarkable CPU by any measure versus its contemporaries at launch (Alpha A21064A, IBM POWER2 and HP PA-RISC all traded heavy blows in that era, SPARC seemed

That's fine, just awkward because the GS report shows the TAM or problem depending on your perspective being accelerated computing.

Definitely commercial 80s cheese and mastered for a mono clock radio like most 80s soft rock but it seems a bit of hipster stretch to call this the worst or even bad. The synth and processed drums sit in the mix reasonably well for the time

Seems like the new website is why this is getting posted now. One thing I like about RTEMS is the BSD affinity, https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/pkg/rtems-libbsd it seems like a pragmatic way to get some of the desi

There are a lot of systems that rely on precise timing, for instance clock generation/recovery, or opening/changing/closing a control valve in some process. It has to be precise or you lose sync in the first case or legitima

Luckily none of these things are mutually exclusive. Thanks to all the SPA idiocy you will miss enough content to matter if you have zero JS interpretation, so you would want to let the user choose which indexes they want for a query becaus

There is probably room for one or five lifestyle businesses but convincing venture capital to drop the megabux to go big would be a feat and eventually land at some sub-optimal state anyway. Finding some hack to democratize&decentralize

You will find different economies by the product, the two I listed are specifically ones that tend to be available for well below what you are saying. For instance, a new steel bookcase from Hon or Sandusky is $400-$800 depending on dimens

If there is ambition to work at high speeds and feeds I would jump straight to FPGA and bypass anything like this WIZnet ASIC which simultaneously does too much and too little to be relevant to that pursuit (but it is great if you have the

It unfortunately leads to subscription models. That doesn't directly prevent piracy, but the lower entry cost and the potential for regular "value add" will keep more people paying up (see Reason+, Slate Digital, Roland Clou

Necessity will find what is needed and the mental defectives will get shuttled out of the way if the entire system is facing existential crisis. The tragedy is that it is all avoidable but there is a lot of deck stacking to get one or more

Of course we only see one side of the story here, but as written the original manager sounds like a maniac. Letting someone complete a major and well received project and then sniping backward at how they did it with a performance review r

EMWM looks fun. I've got a NetBSD laptop running CDE for nostalgia and it is surprisingly a joy to use. I don't think CDE has undergone the same protocol modernization and doing so would be a lot more work there.

I would tepidly recommend lenovo, they support the firmware for a long time and most things work. Warranty is what you decide to buy. Designs tend to be pretty serviceable but it varies in the models and over the years.
