I don't think we have to go back to carbs with manual chokes (not that it was all that bad anyways), but frankly an electronic TBI like GM put on the very last generation I small block Chevy engines (with wasted spark ignitions instead

I disagree. The problem isn't so much that the cab isn't warm as it is that if the engine is way below the steady state running temperature (and thus the oil isn't yet lubricating real well), you're far more like to get

I think one major turn off, especially for systems programming, was the lack of multicore threading support (i.e. it had no way to get parallelism using threads). Does anyone know if this has changed?

Inside of Linux, yes Docker does utilize cgroups, namespaces and some other stuff for isolation. However, the GP is almost certainly talking about "Docker for Windows" and "Docker for OS X", which do not run directly on

Yeah, I think that was it. It's kind of fun to program (in the sense that 8051 assembler is usually less crazy than x86/x64 assembler), but it's way underpowered in that way it got used for the 6022BE.

The "oscilloscope" Jochen used for this is a huge piece of junk, quite frankly. I wrote the library he used to interface with the scope for this attack, and I frankly wouldn't even bother touching that "scope" unles

These sort of devices seem to show up a lot on cars from "Buy Here, Pay Here" lots (for buyers at risk of default), and have been for a while now. This is one the ways those sorts of lots make a lot of money; an couple of acquain

All of this still sounds unnecessarily complicated and Rube Goldbergian in comparison to just using a regular physical key.

It's also really hard on the motor if the fluids are cold, as you're more likely to induce wear because of boundary lubrication and similar effects. Additionally, like on my truck, the synchronizers on the transmission are really

Sounds like another excellent reason to change your own oil. Many lube places end up putting inferior filters on vehicles anyways, and if you do it yourself, you can know that good oil and a good filter went on the car.

I feel like a lot of the processors Intel has released recently that have had problems like this. Intel's Bay Trail processors like the Celeron J1900 have a huge problem around power state management ( https://bugzilla.kernel

As someone with a P50, I've been really really impressed with it, even though 64GB has been pretty overkill. I just wish I could have gotten it with a 4k screen instead of just HD.

If you're just developing against Linux, I've been using LXC 1.0 for a while now for quickly spinning up and destroying dev environments, and I think it works really well. LXD (which is essentially LXC 2.0 + goodies) is also great
