Not sure where you are getting "quietly" from. OpenTitan is a well known project in the embedded/security space and has been discussed here several times: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=opentitan

Slightly off-topic: Anyone knows when the new edition of [1] is supposed to come out? It's been so long and the articles are so well written, I'm eagerly waiting for their UEFI rewrite to be released...

crt.sh came up but I was getting 5xx errors. Looks like it might be overloaded now, or I picked "expensive" queries. But thanks for the recommendation, I'll try it some time later. Edit: Regarding the facebook one: "Log

Before the inevitable flood of the super insightful and valuable comments like "hurr durr another google product killed", let me ask: Is there a good alternative frontend for these queries? As far I understand the underlying data

Of course. I meant this in response to dharamon above talking about manufacturer's misleading claims. But I see their edit and I think I also misunderstood your point - in the context of this bet the selected criteria are probably good

That still has room for interpretation though. What if the car "works" under all conditions, but moves extremely slowly, takes huge detours to avoid tricky roads etc. In fact what is stopping this "technically correct" a

Exactly. I love Firefox and use it as my primary browser but this is the wrong conclusion. Don't make your telemetry backend more reliable. Instead break it on purpose several times a day. That way a similar bug in the browser will not

I agree that small, focused subreddits can work quite well. Regarding the "toxic wastelands" - while there are plenty of those - my main pet peeve with subreddit growth is just the lower standards and decline in quality. A book&#x

The problem is that most people who would need and benefit of those changes don't have the time or skill to make them themselves. So being able to share and distribute the modified version is an absolute bare minimum for the right to r

Rather than sending 25 video streams from single machine to all those tablets it will probably be easier and much more efficient to just open those webcam streams / websites directly on the tablets, they are able to render it directly.
