Actually worse because while both do jack shit, with "thoughts and prayers" there is usually at least a sincere motivation behind it.

I've had a project idea similar to this in the backlog for years: personalized signature generator that can be used to deal with dinosaurs that still want printed, scanned and signed documents. Basically I want to take a pdf, turn it i

Two weeks to detect (not great), another month to disclose (worse). "Only" 35k affected so must be some narrow scope. The linked page doesn't seem to provide more details.

Nice catch, that is a reasonable assumption. Oh well, too bad. Maybe one day ;)

I couldn't find what is the size of the RSA key used. Any chance it is small enough to be broken today with bunch of cloud instances and few $100 [1] to spare? It was almost 20 years after all. Of course cloning another disk is simpler

I tried waxing (just rub with plain old candle) the sliding surfaces, it helped a bit but didn't last long. However the wax helps during assembly, putting tight joints together.

I bought/got gifted a couple of these sets, just a warning for anyone looking to buy: The quality varies a lot piece to piece. Forget Lego-like perfect snap and alignment, you will be sanding basically everything to make it fit. The mo

The big egos who keep their jobs, pat themselves on the back with a bonus and don't actually suffer any negative effect when "taking full responsibility", who else?

Agreed. But I feel like that is still a step ahead of RPi where you get random firmware blobs for the GPU without which it won't even boot.

Looks pretty good opensource-wise, right? Some linux fork with ton of patches but hopefully most of that will get upstreamed, and except that I found no weird blobs or proprietary crap.

The explanation is quite disappointing: Using an alternative "might" be worse in few ways. OK, so where is the data, pros and cons comparison?

Clearly given it was reopened after providing more details this was a misunderstanding or triage mistake. Given the volume of reports this must happen all the time, and was resolved here as expected.

Maybe I'm misreading the article but it sounds like even when just copying data from cartridge to vram there isn't enough time to get 60fps, no matter how fast your emulator hardware is. However, I guess that is a problem for arbi

Very cool project! I'm surprised that it apparently works so well (most of the time, for many games) without knowing the state of inputs, just relying on conditional branching. I would have expected a lot of code to just manipulate reg

The article says their _net_ cost savings were $10M. So I would expect that accounts for the costs of the team (salary, and whatever cost they spent building their projects). Either way, not disputing the arguments in this comment chain.

It's also about hardware abstraction. You don't want to rewrite your network stack for each platform but the unikernel can handle that. It doesn't have to be unikernel either, Linux without anything else, your code being PID

What are you on about? Using a library written in memory-safe language won't oppress you.
