"...making a measurement on some entangled property of A will give you a random result and B will have the complementary result." "...once you make a measurement you lose entanglement." One entangled pair can transmit ex

Stories like this are a big reason I'm fleeing to Debian.

A long time ago, I asked my high school chemistry teacher why we use hydrochloric acid instead of hydrofluoric acid. Wouldn't the stronger electronegativity of fluorine react more efficiently? I'll never forget the answer she gave

Obligatory pedantry: Bash is A shell. It's definitely not "The Shell".

That's a fair point. I guess watching System76 PopOS has biased my thinking.

Same. Was expecting polished Debian-based OS for ppc architecture machines. Shucks.

Which cross toolchains are supported?

My informal polling of my co-workers does not support this assertion.

I came here to see this. I used to hack scsh scripts in grad school, back when I was entirely too obsessed with functional languages. It's weird shell, but fun to use if you like that kind of thing.

3750 characters/page at 6 bits/character gets you 22.5 kbits/page or ~2.8kB/page. Optar apparently does 200kB/page.

Strongly concur. Patchelf is indispensible for beating sense into third-party closed-source shared objects. The `--set-soname` option is particularly useful in correcting all kinds of ineptitude.

Neat! Do you plan on supporting any other architectures?

Which part bothers you; the fact that you need to use Adobe on Windows, or the fact that you're a professional artist that doesn't use Linux? For what it's worth, I can think of at least three different "emulators"

That sounds really useful. I'm interested in doing something similar with my own machines. Do you have any source code you can share?

Suckless Term for the win; it's my terminal emulator of choice when I don't need a scrollable buffer. It's light and fast while supporting all the standard escape codes. If that weren't enough, the source is a minimalist

It might be worth your time to try `xubuntu-desktop`. Like my sibling comment says, it's not pretty, but it is highly functional and avoids the Gnome-esque candy to which you allude.

Could anyone explain how the firmware (implementing UEFI, I assume) interacts with the components described here? My knowledge is limited to Tianocore edk2 on amd64 platforms.

Same. That was _the_ tool I used for "multiple desktops" after I discovered `ssh -X`.

Too little and too late. Meanwhile, I'm over here with gitlab self-hosted runners that "dispatch" ephemeral runners. I can tweak scaling limits and the whole contraption runs seamlessly on the AWS ec2 instances of my choosing

How typical is this kind of troubleshooting on a scale from 1 (meaning every embedded dev can do this) to 10 (meaning there are 5 embedded devs in existence that can do this)?

What happens when one of these devices is admitted as trial evidence? Is there a hardware root of trust that can be used for cryptographic verification? Has anyone succeeded in doing trusted boot on a Raspberry Pi?

How is this news? How, in 2021, is the sad state of application security even remotely noteworthy and/or remarkable? These are consumer apps shipped by teams under a perpetual time crunch in an industry that rewards first-movers. Is an

From personal experience, what made low-level concepts "click" for me was looking at documentation for linkers and the various ELF tools. Once I could see the "ends", it gave me the inspiration to dig into the "mean
