There is ext2fsd ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd ). Worked like a charm last time I had to use it. Last version is even from July. edit: Unsupported features: 1, journal: log-based operations, external journa

To make it a sample-size of two, I can also confirm that I did not have any adverse effects, it just tastes funny.

This is just a wild guess, but could there be more to it than just solving traffic problems? I mean, the best solution for a permanent settlement on Mars would be underground, as to shield from radiation etc. It's a funny thought, but

The code really is an enjoyable read from start to finish. I'll have to play around with it for a bit, crypto code that is this straight forward to understand is simply rare.

Regarding the Signal double-ratchet: I'd be very interested to see an implementation in Lisp of it.

It's just not quite released yet. They still need to sort out the software, but the hardware is finished: https://olimex.wordpress.com/2017/02/01/teres-i-do-it-yourse...

As a owner of a novena laptop, I'm always happy to see other OSHW laptops. Though the thing with the TERES-I is, it just doesn't seem to be made for daily use. There is only 1GB of RAM, no (m)SATA, the eMMC is rather small and the

Yes. It says "Cell search and synchronization procedure for the UE" under features (UE stands for User Equipment, e.g. a LTE modem). edit: cell search example https://github.com/srsLTE/srsLTE/blob/ma

Actually, the Intel modems have been experimentally proven to perform ~20% worse at the same signal conditions. It is also notable that this is not only a problem in the US, but also with carriers in europe where they use the Intel modem. (

Thank you for the example. Also: SPARK is another one I forgot. I guess I'll have to think of a nice example and just implement it in a Ada, F* and with RDL to get a hang of the differences and features.

Oh wow, even with support for static type-checking. It really makes me want to give ruby another shot. Piggybacking on this: apart from F*, does someone know of a language or support for existing ones for contracts, loop-invariants and poss

It is locked. There is a switch like with the Chromebooks, but to reach it you have to disassemble it. OTOH rooting and running custom kernels works. Not ideal but it works for some use-cases. edit: The Pixel C runs on Coreboot of course.

If you have an X-Ray to check if the balls are soldered perfectly, then yes. Put it on the board and off with it in the reflow-oven. Keep in mind, it's only 20x16mm. If not, then you're mostly out of luck, but you can try if you m

Cygwin is and always will be only an emulation-layer, never the real deal. For most day-to-day things it works perfectly, but when you run into some corner-case, most of the time you are out of luck. My only real problem with Cygwin is, tha

The other side is the excitement of being one of the first experiencing this new technology. It's always a tradeoff. E.g.: Would you rather go to space now, or wait until it's easy and comfy? For me, curiosity wins.

We'll see about that when the Oculus controller comes out. The Vive already ships with special controllers for VR (and how those compare, etc). Until then, it's hard to compare (only price-wise).

Check out HAMNET, it's not self-soldering everything, but to do proper packet-radio you need a DSP or a powerfull CPU to process the signals anyway. There is also always SDR which makes it easier to experiment with new protocols. As to
