Gross, the dev board uses micro-USB. It's 2024! Otherwise amazing work. Exactly what's needed to compete with the existing giants.

They sold that off decades ago. The brand just hangs around

I think people, for both good and bad faith reasons, vastly underestimate how unlikely it would be for any sort of artificial signal to reach us. It would need to be so powerful and so precisely aimed at us that firing randomly into the voi

Clear Containers/Kata Containers/firecracker VMs showed that there isn't really a dichotomy here. Why we aren't all using HW assisted containers is a mystery.

Anything involving XmlDSig is far, far more complicated than it lets on. I doubt even the SAML experts know it 100%, maybe no one does.

These customers wouldn't be able to do that in time frames measured in anything but decades and/or they would risk going bankrupt attempting to switch. Microsoft has far more leverage than they choose to exert, for various reasons

> large part of their moat is backwards compatibility This is more of a religious belief than truth, IMO. They could strong-arm recalcitrant customers, but they don't.

All that says is the Java runtime will suspend on blocking IO, not that it _only_ suspends on blocking IO. > what they're intended for Java prides itself on careful and deliberate changes to eliminate foot guns, but this seems like

This is a really unfortunate gotcha that's not at all obvious. Does it kick preemption up a layer to the OS then?

Science is not magically immune to the same pressures that corrupt every other news and information source.

Yeah this is kind of nuts: >For the majority of IEEE’s fully open access journals, the article processing fee will be $1,995 USD. Some exceptions apply for certain titles, see individual journal author instructions for specific details.

The entire purpose of the judiciary is to interpret the law. This is what they are supposed to do. Chevron curtailed this essential power in favor of taking an agency at its word, which is quite a dangerous stance.

That's what sigrok or wireshark are for, IMO. Of course, you lose something for half the price. The ST one does have a protocol analyzer.

Nicer in that it has a good HMI. Anandtech has a nice review: https://www.anandtech.com/show/18944/usbc-power-metering-wit...

More like $60, or charger lab has a nicer one for about the same price. https://estore.st.com/en/products/evaluation-tools/product-e...

Shares do nothing except gain or lose value. The other stuff can actually, you know, do things! Some people value the ability for things to do other things.

The goal of science isn't to publish papers, it's to investigate hypotheses. If 98% of social science papers cannot be replicated then that's an indictment of social science, not the requirement to replicate. I suspect a lot

Being a "founding engineer" is a sucker's game unless you have some very specific goals. Nearly all the same risk, 99% less reward.

Analog is large area and expensive in general so sticking to good digital and passable analog is a very good strategy to keep costs down.

Yep. AMD and Intel had two decades to come up with a CUDA alternative or even a parallel implementation and both failed to do anything. Incompetence.

OK, change FUSE to SPDK, you get your userspace VFS layer: https://github.com/Saltflow/spdk_blob_top_fs > Just because you've delegated some small parts into userspace, does not mean that you don't still h

Well, what are we missing if networking, file systems and human IO are now run as user space servers? Process management? Graphics (ignoring X)? What low-level hardware interaction can't be done microkernel style? It's a bad analo

Linux has more microkernel features than you'd think. You can run all of networking, filesystems, HID and more in user space with BPF/Fuse. What else is left?

BASF quotes 1-1.5%, which is pretty damn good for a one-time, low-cost application. I guess Swiss is Lufthansa's test before rolling it out to the rest of the group's brands.

It's a religious thing, only the priesthood can be trusted with the mysteries. It requires overwhelming faith that AGI will happen.
