We were using Skype for Business before and Teams was a big improvement over that. It does video conferencing and file sharing well, with even collaborative editing of Office files working well. The chat features seem like an afterthought s

The compute module version of the RPI exposes PCI Express. If I'm reading the specs correctly it should be able to do 500 MB/s so 8x this interface.

If we didn't have the other vaccines, getting 47% efficiency for a billion euros would have been an awesome result. We could have also stopped the pandemic with a 47% effective vaccine. We're just spoiled because the vaccine devel

That can be seen in the volume numbers. Libera seems to already have a lot more chat volume even though it still has only 2/3 of the users.

Active investing and activist investors are not the same thing. And passive fund managers do vote their shares as has happened here. There's nothing stopping them from proposing board names as well.

It's really odd that it takes "activist" investors just to elect some board members. It seems shareholders should have a much easier time just proposing a few names to the board and have everyone vote on them. It's so

Seems like mrustc is up to 1.39: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc Does the bootstrapping require every single step up to the current rustc or can it skip some steps?

I was unclear, sorry. I meant the reason the whole thing as it happened was IRC drama, not the specific point about not using the data. I agree that specifically most likely happened because a group of volunteers don't want to expose t

I'd say that if you control both the DNS and own the network data (chanserv/nickserv/etc) you own the network. You can at any point stand up an entirely different infrastructure, staffed by entirely different people, switch o

As far as I can tell "freenode" is a fairly blurry mix of: The brand, including the DNS: that was passed on between people and then sold within the Freenode Limited company. If you have this you can point the blog and the network

In previous discussions about this it was pointed out that LLVM may be significantly faster at producing ARM code versus x86. The comparison may still be the one that actually matters to you but at least in part be an advantage of ARM in ge

Given that it's a CRT wouldn't it be max resolution instead of native? The 800x600@160Hz would also be driven natively I assume.

Indeed, but the race between TSMC and Intel to scale up 200+ MTr/mm^2 processes should benefit us all. Both AMD and Apple have good micro-architectures to produce at TSMC, and Intel is mostly behind on process, so if we can keep that r

Zen 3 laptops haven't even been properly announced and are definitely not shipping. Even the Zen 2 models are in very short supply. Desktop Zen 3 is what is shipping and quantities are very limited as demand is very high.

That's the wrong comparison. We don't need to replace generation capacity with the same capacity of batteries. Batteries don't generate any electricity after all. We need batteries to smooth out differences between demand and

The second half doesn't exist either. I want to disallow panic and turn it into an error at compile time. The panic unwinding would be replaced with an error check by the compiler.

Even for normal user space code having a way to detect panic at compile time and abort compilation would be great. Ideally together with a way to wrap functions that do panic by catching it and throwing an error instead so the panic infrast
