This is felt especially acutely because most Turkish debt is denominated in foreign currency (~70%) and the vast majority of trade is as well (I remember 85% but can't find a source). So inflation is felt immediately.

I bought a cheap GPIB-USB adapter (LQ UGPlus) which didn't work because the Windows software couldn't handle the binary memory addresses. I should see if I can talk to it directly, it's probably HID or CDC.

The markdown parser of the "Reddit Sync" app adds closing tags to things as well. Hasn't been annoying enough for me to switch.

Well, llvm-config is 719 lines with few comments. At least it doesn't have to use COM and the registry, though.

Using Go assembly lets you avoid the Cgo overhead IIRC.

One of the things I've hated about being a part-time systems administrator is the fear of the unknown. All the little changes to config files, the different installed programs, everything required to get the system working is scattered

I'm not into cryptocurrency, but I'm mining on my desktop right now because it's like running a space heater that pays for itself.

The thing is, our current understanding is that such a weather machine doesn't exist so it isn't necessary to design around it. In the cyber security world such machines absolutely do exist so we should be expected to design aroun

Doesn't matter how profitable you are, you need to make more next quarter.

On the other hand if all you care about is DC precision you can use a very simple, though not necessarily easy, circuit. You need a stable voltage derived from a stable voltage reference, and a stable clock to PWM that stable voltage. Then

It would be difficult. Optical power of the illumination decreases with the inverse square of the distance. Optical power of the reflected light decreases with the inverse square of the distance. The fluorescence in the plastic is not very

Looking on DigiKey there is almost no supply of the GreenPak devices that are being rebranded/supplanted. Which is a shame because these look really neat.

Well ROCm and HIP are "open" and run on AMD and Nvidia GPUs. I'm sure AMD would've been happy for Intel to build on that. But they didn't. "oneAPI is a cross-industry, open, standards-based unified programming

Years ago AMD was almost bankrupt and put everything into one last attempt at a CPU. Now AMD is hiring like crazy, and I hope they are able to catch up to their larger competitors in tooling and software. Here's what I think they'

It's good that AMD is providing support for some of their customers since OpenCL is being removed in 3.0. I hope that this is just the start of far greater investment into their software ecosystem. It was understandable that AMD inve

Could you use multiple NVMe namespaces to represent the separate actuators in a multiple-actuator drive? Would there be a benefit? Do different namespaces get separate command queues or whatever?

People are going to be running existing software (Windows 10 and Linux) which do not have support for Alder Lake. These schedulers don't know to handle the SIGILL. What you'd get instead is applications randomly crashing as their
