Sometimes it's easier just to periodically reset I2C slave devices from the bus master (either with a dedicated reset line or just power-cycling the chip using a FET)

What would be really cool is if ffmpeg/avconv gained the ability to create lossy LZW GIFs, like in this tool: https://github.com/pornel/giflossy

You could solve this automatically with time shifted convolution/correlation with the original signal.

S/PDIF has a parity bit, and the control messages use a CRC, but otherwise there is no error correction. I'm not really sure how "lossless" it is, but it's a pretty neat trick regardless.

This system seems to encourage extremism - extremist groups are more able to affect political decisions than indifferent people.

And the right to privacy of innocent noncombatants is compromised in the process. There will in fact be casualties in a cyber war, even if people are not killed or physically injured.

I would imagine that chasing one of these "drones" (which is essentially a toy helicopter) using a real helicopter would be difficult, since the toy helicopter is smaller, more maneuverable, and more difficult to see. Sort of like

Once you really get into "the zone," this style of formatting is more efficient for reading and manipulating in your mind. But the moment that you walk away and do something else, you will start forgetting what the different piece

I have run into this problem when trying to automate certain tasks on UNIX boxes. Dealing with programs that act differently depending on their output device is very annoying.

I seem to recall that Adobe Premiere Pro and/or Adobe After Effects contain a tool for mitigating rolling shutter artifacts, though I am not certain if it uses the method described in the article.

A way to mark certain root ports as trusted could potentially work. This would allow you to have keyboards and mice physically plugged in to a trusted USB port while all other devices are plugged into untrusted ports.

BitTorrent magnet links already kind of do this. Theoretically speaking, isn't it possible to create a virtual BitTorrent FUSE filesystem?

I haven't been able to figure out how to get this to compile on Windows. It seems to have something to do with its dependency on GTK.

4-dimensional simplex noise is useful for creating tileable patterns. Sampling a 2D image based on the surface of a 3D torus floating in 4D space always yields a pattern with no obvious edges.

I'm surprised that LZ4 is not in the list. It's based on LZ77 like many of the others.

It's already possible to execute some algorithms on untrusted computers using homomorphic cryptosystems. I'm not sure what to what extend this will proceed - it might be possible to securely execute arbitrary algorithms on untrust

I wasn't aware of the speed issues with intercepting SCUDs. Makes a lot more sense when you factor that in - these systems were being used as a last line of defense, not a shield.

I'm guessing that the people wouldn't have been standing within range of missile attacks if they didn't expect that the missile defense system would protect them.

The other reason I enable browser.showQuitWarning in Firefox is because you can Save and Quit instead of just quitting.

Unless the simulator that we are inside is somehow designed such that it itself cannot be simulated from within. An analogy for this might be to imagine people being simulated inside a machine that is not theoretically Turing-complete. Not

Using these types of multiplication algorithms can actually compute the result in fewer steps versus a naive algorithm when dealing with very large integers, such as integers used in cryptography.
