Btrfs claims to be stable. IMO, it's not. It's generally fine if you stay on the happy path. It will work for 99% of people. But if you fall off that happy path, bad things might happen and nobody is surprised. In my personal expe

Intel’s E cores decode x86 without a trace cache (μop cache), and are very efficient. The latest (Skymont) can decode 9 x86 instructions per cycle, more than the P core (which can only decode 8) AMD isn’t saying that decoding x86 is easy. T

The report only states the conclusion that the breaks did not work for the current configuration. Which is a slightly awkwardly worded way of saying, “well obviously they didn’t work because we know they were applied and look at the result“

Geofencing and occasional human override meets the definition of "Level 4 self driving". Especially when it's a remote human override. But is Level 4 enough to count as "Full Self Driving"? I'd argue it really

Why tie your hands behind your back? LIDAR based self-driving cars will always massively exceed the safety and performance of vision-only self driving cars. Current Tesla cameras+computer vision is nowhere near as good as humans. But LIDAR

That wasn't a bug. They deliberately designed it to only look at one of the Pitot tubes, because if they had designed it to look at both, then they would have had to implement a warning message for conflicting data. And if they had imp

Yeah... apparently the MX Anywhere 3S uses new "silent" switches, which I was hoping might fix the issue. But I've found one post complaining about bad switches on the Anywhere 3S and a few complaining about the MX Master 3S

I like my Anywhere MX 3. The smaller size is actually ideal for my fingertip grip, and I actually like the rechargeable battery. It lasts well over a month on a single charge and then charges really quickly (if it ever does go flat, just ch

As one of those users who migrated away around the time of the "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" incident, that's not what happened at all. Digg never had much in the way gray/illicit content; The AACS

Yeah, reddit spread the changes out over years, just Decades of slow incremental changes. Even the new UI started off as optional, and the old UI is still (mostly) supported after 7 years. Digg always rolled out its changes in one big updat

I was an early refugee from Digg, been on reddit for 17 years now. Aggressive curation of subreddits did help, but I fear the decent subreddits are slowly dying out. The modern iteration of site (It's more of an app these days) appears

The original Digg was shut down around 2012 (though really it died in 2010). The domain was sold off and the new owners replaced it with something that might have looked like Digg at first glance, but it was entirely relying on editors to s

If the notch bothers you so much, then why not disable it? It's actually optional, the functionality is built into Mac OS (just check "show all resolutions" in display setting and pick the notchless resolution). You get that

by phire 1y ago
If the notch was replaced with a 1cm bezel, then the entire top menu bar would move down by roughly 1cm, and I'd have less screen space for actual content. In some ways, a bezel could be considered to be a "notch" that takes

I mainly use GitHub copilot as nothing more than a fancy autocomplete. I just program as normal and if it happens to suggest more or less what I was about to type, I accept it. The completions are usually no more than a few lines. This spee

The class is "embeddable interpreted scripting language", which is not quite the same thing as just an interpreter. Embedded interpreters are that designed to be embedded into a c/c++ program (often a game) as a scripting lan

Yes and no. You replaced two address pins with four byte enable pins. But the byte enable pins also implicitly communicate size, which would otherwise require another two pins. So this byte enable scheme breaks even (at least for chips with

Modern cars already have a complex sequence to enter pairing mode. You need to press buttons inside the car, buttons on the currently paired key (to prove possession of that) and buttons on the key you want to pair with. So a passer by woul

I'm not sure you should be that concerned about man-in-the-middle attacks. If someone does successfully MITM while walking by the key is going to stop working as soon as they are out of range, and you will notice. I'm just wanting

You don't even need a physical connection. As long as you have two-way wireless communication (which any keyless entry/start system does), then you can simply do a Diffie-Hellman key exchange during the pairing process. Diffie-Hel

And compresses significantly faster than regular png too. That’s the major advantage of zstd, fast compression. Not particularly relevant in web use cases, but would be great for saving screenshots.

I think most experienced programmers get this. But it seems like advocates of "vibe coding" will fall into the trap of assuming "vibe code can't ever be legacy, because you can just point another LLM at it and it will pi

It's all documented in the updated datasheet (see Appendix C) All the hardware changes and most of the bootrom changes went into A3. A4 is only a minor bootrom update. The chance of an A3-only errata is tiny.

The A3 stepping is documented in the updated datasheet, which has a really nice "Hardware Revision History" in Appendix C. It has all the hardware changes and most of the bootrom changes of A4.

True, "have a garbage collector" was never the formal definition, it was more "automatic memory management". But this predates the work on Rust's ownership system and while there were theories of static automatic me
