Bombing is not necessary. Ceasing supplies will turn it into dust in a moment of time, irreversibly. Consider Samsung factories in Texas that are still stalling, caused by quite short electric power outage.

Well, some public here tend to think about TSMC as something solid and uniform, one can possess and/or takeover. Heck, no! TSMC is a complex organism consisting of thousands of talented engineers and scientists, top-notch equipment tha

Go in to team sports (ice hockey, soccer, volleyball) reguarly, this will get your mind well disconnected for sufficient amount of time to recuperate.

In essence it was not a show, but it turned out to be. Roscomnadzor (same as FCC in US) was desperately trying to block Telegram by KGB (FSB) resolution, because Telegram did not obey to their orders to provide keys and it turned out into c

Fidonet operated exactly the way you describe. I recall in 90th I used to run quite a large Fidonet node. I was responsible for my points' (users) behaviour - when someone violated rules by misbehaving in an echo conference it effected

This is called responsibility. Lack of respobsibility brought us to the point where noone cares about security seriously. Yes, we talk much about it, but in reality we don't give a damn about it because possible damage is usually inapp

We do not need new email. We need a way to authorize messages sent and also a way to enburden senders for the content they send. In pre-internet era UUCP was widely used to deliver messages, UUCP providers used to charged their customers fo

I'm currently learning programming FPGAs using open source toolchain, my idea is to completely go away from MCUs towards cheap FPGAs and RISC-V. This is actually my third attempt to mess with FPGAs. Several years ago I tried Xilinx, be

I know Yosys has a limited support for System Verilog, but any success synthesizing this using FOSS toolchain ? What features are missing if not successful ?

AFAIK, KiCAD got its recent boost from CERN. It would be a common good if europeans go further to push up development of open source tools for IC manufacturing. This will loosen world's dependance on US backed proprietary and extremely

Well, as I said this all stuff is very new to me, I do not understand many of the solutions, thanks for explaining. Using C++ as HDL is also interesting idea, for many this could lower the entry barrier.

How about OrangeCrab ? It is Lattice ECP5 based (24k LUTs) with DDR3 and USB directly connected to FPGA. The price was $138 last time I checked.

I meant famous among FOSS community, of course.

This is very interesting. I thought Berkeley's BOOM is way more advanced implementation of RISCV than VexRiscV and it is written in Chisel3. Though I have not played with BOOM yet, cannot say how deeply can it be configured. But you se

Thanks, will check it. I'm playing with FPGAs for a couple of weeks only, RISCV was a starting force for me. Currently am trying to figure our which is better SpinalHDL or Chisel. I find SpinalHDL's syntax more convenient and less

Olimex iCE40HX8K-EVB is $50, it comes with 512KB SRAM chip, two buttons, two LEDs and lots of IO wired to five block connectors.

Lattice has a worship $10 iCE40 series. I'm playing with iCE40HX8K at the moment (Olimex iCE40HX8K-EVB board). I was able to configure a RV32I based SoC with APB3, UART, Timer, RAM and SDRAM controller that fits in 2500 LUTs. I'm

I have been wanting a PC like this for years, I even found a couple of them (x86 based) on AliExpress, but they were too large for my needs. Suggested improvements for Pi 400: 1. Add a couple more keys to the layout: PGUP, PGDOWN, HOME, END

Pratice. strace and gdb are your friends in catching evasive bugs. Personally I would go exactly same route, though I won't modify the binary but coined an environment for it to work instead.

With the help of this same ffmpeg tool your script could generate/re-generate thumbs when it is necessary (or meta-data updated) if you need them in separate files, of course :-).

by ruslan 6y ago
Well done! Yet, I think with properly recovered meta-data you do not need to splice long videos into separate clips, use ffmpeg to stream from a given file at given place. You keep just 45 .mp4 files (one per tape) and a single .csv (or wha

You must have been retired already by the time Linus put his first line of code into the kernel ? ;-) Well, my first system was ЭВМ ЕС-1033 (soviet clone of IBM S/360) back in 1988 and I was twelve. Me and a friend of mine we used to a

They should educate their developers before allowing them to write and release code to public. Educate in many ways, not just to write in English, but to write appropriate code that follows established rules and practices, the code that is
