Another option would be a Lattice ECP5 based DC-SCM board which would work with the open source Yosys/nextpnr. The system clock for Microwatt only reaches around 70MHz on ECP5 vs 100MHz on the Artix. https://github.com/

The work for this is spread across a few different open source projects. https://codeconstruct.com.au/docs/dcscm-openbmc/ has some details on the various software and gateware parts. (Disclosure, I did some of tha

An interesting thing is that "100 point ID" applies to physical documents, but somehow it's been conflated with the number on the document being equivalent. One is obviously more easily copied than the other, and scales bette

For me act works fairly well, though it isn't exactly the same as Github. Matrix builds didn't work properly (just noticed it has been fixed now), and the base images aren't quite the same. Github should send a bunch of money

Sanoid is a great set-and-forget ZFS wrapper for snapshots. Also has syncoid to do offsite backups (ssh or usb hard disks) https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid/

Ah, that explains how they got such a definitive domain name - doing it before it was cool.

Is it a slow bandwidth connection as well as low latency? It could be because curve25519/ed25519 are smaller packet sizes than other algorithms (and also just the length of the list of algorithms in the kexinit packet). I would have ex

This reminds me of my idea about Google's missed opportunity in messaging. They had billions in a captive audience for gmail - all they had to do was figure a way to make the Subject field in SMTP optional, and bam! they'd have a

That doesn't seem to make sense, isn't salt insoluble in oil?

The biodegradable PCB material looks interesting, https://www.jivamaterials.com Seems at an early stage of development (fairly low accuracy surface?), but seems it would simplify recycling a lot. Just need waterproof enclosures

Even if you like urbanism, this promotional video (from neom themselves) has convinced me that it would be dystopian. All the nuance and uniqueness of places replaced with a homogeneous form, nope. https://www.youtube.com/wa

It does for me too. (Also surprised that I'm logged out, guess it does that after a 2 week break)

There's nothing stopping motivated developers forking and continuing the backwards compatible version. If there isn't anyone willing to do that then perhaps it's an indication that backwards compatibility isn't the most

Do Apple's chips keep 32bit compat? That seems a big win in the x3.

I'd like that for some cases. Why should the socialising happen in my repo, couldn't it happen in the repo of other people who are developing on top of my work? (ie the forks)

A couple of years ago I moved to the same ortho 12x5 layout on a full size keyboard with single key for space. The space was easy to get used to (my old keyboards had a worn patch on the spacebar where it was always hit!), but the non-stagg

If you plot it another way does it end up looking like a gaussian distribution (or something similar)?

I don't normally want to be personal, but ncmncm you chime in with this thread each time. Can you give an example of what you yourself have written that would live up to your standards? I'm curious what type of thing you're t

I wonder if it will have to prompt every time. USB devices don't have any cryptographically secure identity, so macos couldn't be sure it's the same device seen before. Though perhaps limiting to a previously seen PID/VI

Askama should be comparable in speed and type safety? It probably doesn't integrate any better inline with source though (I've only used it with standalone template files). https://djc.github.io/askama/creatin

The signal protocol itself should run on a microcontroller. Showing images or videos would use more compute power.

That's a nice tour video, thanks for posting it. It's nice to see less secrecy in how they run things vs other cloud providers.

Seems likely this might have been the text message of an assert()ion if something went wrong with that named mutex?

That corruption was caused by a patch that Ubuntu created themselves, it was never in upstream. ZFS on any other platform would be OK. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/190...

Do you know if those are all using the same upstream kernel as the rest of Arch? If so that's a pretty useful list, it's hard to find. Even if rpi kernels aren't exactly upstream at least I can know the people paid to work on

I would be very surprised if there is build infrastructure to build a full version of Windows outside of Microsoft.
