I get the impression that people who talk about the "horrors" that are VHDL and Verilog for hardware design are software developers who have little to no knowledge about hardware design processes. There are reasons why VHDL/V

The problem with these type of comments is that they never mention how much coffee, and what type of coffee, was consumed before the life-changing decision. It is pretty much anecdotal evidence.

It feels odd that on an entire post talking about the challenges of treating diseases like Polio, Alzheimer and Malaria, and the reinvention of the toilet too, people are focusing on a single statement that he just posed as a possibility fo

While they could have expanded better on their reasoning for not using iframes, I feel this is an overly dramatic post. The browser extension is not their main product and they explicitly say so. The author is completely dismissing [0] the

I think you are undervaluing a lot the benefits of the European culture [1]. It's just not health care, it's also the safety of not being spontaneously fired, the work-life balance, the vacation time, the paternity leave, and so o

Sometimes I really wonder how people use their phones. Is it really necessary to go the extreme of needing to turn it off just to "fight off" the "addiction"? Speaking about myself, I only have notifications for emails a

Apple doesn't try to tap markets that doesn't own and to force their own ecosystem into those markets. Google does. That's the fundamental difference. It is okay for them to do whatever they want with their Nexus/Pixel d

As an early player of Pokémon Go since the release day, I can say that the whole game was poorly managed (and still is). Even after the initial spike of users, they can't do a major event without messing it up: - https://www

The best feature (at least for me) is that you can whitelist some specific websites to always open in a new temporary container, without any extra effort, while leaving the rest of your websites like they are today. For example, I have YouT

My take is that he makes it sound more dramatic than it is. The entire blog post loses credibility when you look at the Matrix.org project.

I would think that Google uses your Gmail to build your profile and to serve better ads to you. There is nothing more personal than your private email, so having access to your private things is a gold mine for their ad business.

Why do you think an high level language would be a positive thing? The ones that are currently available generate worse designs than hand written Verilog. Verilog is still used for a very good reason, it is not because the EDA industry is s

While timezones are not 100% reliable, they still provide us with a pretty good picture of the state in the region you want to know the time for. The problems you describe are due to cultural mismatches and these can't really be solved

RISC-V is not an architecture, it is just an instruction set. People still need to design the architecture for an implementation of RISC-V. Intel ME is a co-processor that runs at the same time as the main processor, it is not related to th

The comment applies to both high-end CPUs and to microcontrollers as well. Power and performance are even more critical on a microcontroller than on an high-end CPU.

by pedroaraujo 9y ago
That is simply not true. Building a CPU can be "easy" if you want to build something that works. If you want to build something that is power efficient and, at the same time, quite performant, then the complexity of the problem es

In order to use MicroG, it is required to patch the ROM to allow app signature spoofing. People from LineageOS claim that this can be a huge security risk (and they are right) but there is no other way to achieve an implementation like this

Even in hardware, formal verification is only used for really small designs (like FIFOs, for example) and for very specific and simplistic designs (control logic or datapaths). For everything else, people use the good old functional verific
