mini-rv32ima is incredibly compact -- I imagine a translation to VBA might not be too hard.

Fellow owner of a 32GB MBP here: how much memory does it use while resident - or, if swapping happens, do you see the effects in your day to day work? I’m in the awkward position of using on a daily basis a lot of virtualized bloated Window

It sounds like it'd be perfect for Google's NotebookLM portfolio -- at least if they wanted to scale it up.

Apropos of that: know QEMU has an extensive hardware emulation library, but it shouldn't be taken for granted – Apple M-series support isn't quite there (here's a console-only solution [1]), and it would a significant platfor

I’m a little hesitant to trust a CVE database operated by private industry on the grounds of conflict of interest for that reason, too.

What “outcome” would meet your standards for justifiable research spending? Is a 26% cap on the percentage that indirects can go to all administration - all staff apart from researcher hours directly dedicated to the project - a sufficient

I don't know – if there's still dumb money being thrown towards AI in non-tech and non-privacy-heavy industries, especially ones traditionally targeted by ransomware, there'll always be a chance of datasets getting leaked. I&

Transitioning from detailed "Dear Colleague" circular letters to tweets seems like a great loss in transparency, but what do I know about government efficiency, anyway?

I love retro68, but as much as I love it I'm frustrated the"black box" dependency on CMake to specify the build process + app metadata (e.g. distinguishing between apps and desktop accessories which treat system globals diffe

The question, for me, is: are there meaningful sanctions if DOGE (for Mike Waltz, for that matter), effectively destroyed records through autodelete?

As an aside, I empathize with the author’s struggles to insert files with resource forks with resource forks-oblivious git. What I’ve done before is use AppleDouble as a post-compilation step and git hook to separate resource forks into sep

The part that aggravates me the most is that DOGE staff at the SSA are being used to provide information on individuals targeted by this dragnet - at this point, you can see why DOGE would want to use college grads under 25 with less moral

Thanks for the recommendations! I have a Yihua soldering station - such a solid budget option - I’ll shell out on a hot air rework station too, maybe one with a board preheater.

It's such a pity 51nb's upgraded ThinkPad project is no longer quite as active as it was. I think the small niche market for hacker-friendly laptops is far too diluted now, especially with qualitatively unique products like the MN

I’d love to learn some of the advanced rework skills they need to work on modern motherboards - especially BGA part replacement. And how to build a workshop on the cheap! I’m always in awe at the skills they need to learn that are nonexiste
