That's certainly their prerogative, but I guess what I'm really trying to say is it's weird that they're so bent out of shape about a distro maintainer using a build option they added to their own code. Especially when s

All they did was change the XC_ALL build parameter to OFF [0] which happens to be the default in upstream's CMakeLists.txt [1]. If upstream thinks this functionality is so important maybe they should fix their defaults. I think it&#x27

On Linux at the kernel level, time_t was historically defined as a 'long'. Since Linux is LP64 this automatically became 64-bit on 64-bit architectures.

I find LaserDisc to be a fascinating format. The base format is analog, but the surface of the disc only has two possible states: a pit or a land, just like CDs. To make this work, the various analog signals (composite video, left analog au

Seems like it has a small bay for torpedoes and depth charges, a number of external hard points and a "free fall chute" for dropping things out of the plane [0]. I'm guessing the latter is what was used here. Here's a pi

There was one on the market, but not from the well-known names: the Bigme Galy. Doesn't seem to be available anymore though and Bigme's site has no mention of it

I'm confused. Reddit has had ads that look like normal posts for ages. What's actually different about these new ones?

As someone who joined pre-pandemic, my opinion is that we were unsustainably lean at the time. I was shocked at how small the infrastructure team was when I joined the company and things were honestly a bit rickety at the user scale we were

Nouveau supports va-api on Nvidia. Nouveau is not supported by Nvidia of course.

The reality is that the vast majority of these FPGA-based clones don't actually perfectly emulate the logic. They're using the same reverse engineering techniques the traditional emulator developers used and sometimes even the sam

glibc actually goes through quite a bit of effort to remain backwards compatible. There have been times when mistakes were made here, but the extent to which glibc does not have a stable ABI is overstated. The only annoying thing about glib

Intel does have the Cyclone 5 SoC which integrates Cortex-A9 cores much like the Zynq 7000 series. That product predates the acquisition though and they don't seem to have released anything to compete with newer entries in the Zynq lin

Not sure where you're getting the 100k lbs figure from. The Siemens S200 LRVs are supposedly 76k lbs as deployed in SF. Traditional "heavy" rail EMUs often exceed 100k pounds per car (Kawasaki M8s used by Metro North range fr

AFAIK, the memory inside the Tom chip was never a cache. The bug you're probably thinking of is one that makes it difficult to run code on Tom's RISC core directly from main RAM. IIRC, jump instructions are pretty bugged when not

There is an open source driver for Vivante GPUs, including the GC400 (or maybe GCNano? and the official docs are oddly vague on what GPU is used and 3rd party sources disagree) used in the STM32MP157: etnaviv. I can't seem to find anyt

Technically, the opening brace is needed in C to support K&R style function declarations which apparently were still legal in C11 at least, but I doubt that's a feature anyone wants to replicate in a new language.
