Have you SEEN ElectroBoom and his monobrow? :) I'm looking forward to the day when I can walk, unplucked, down the US streets and not get funny looks due to remnants of my middle-eastern heritage! LONG LIVE THE BROW!

I guess it depends on your goal: If you want to reach a large audience, you need a platform with a large audience. If you want to just publish something for the sake of archiving it, you don't need a large platform. It's a bit of

I thought the human genome was mapped in 2003, when the Human Genome Project wrapped up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genome_Project What's different about this?

Dude, you're missing the point. Women are actively chased out of tech. This has been going on for decades. Don't you remember a few years ago when half of the guys of 4chan doxxed and threatened to kill dozens of female gamers bec

Because that would require dozens of simultaneous simjacks on corporations, billionaires and politicians. Simjacking has about a 20 minute - 4 hour effective window, shorter if the person uses their phone extensively. Hacking the 2FA of App

Doubtful: It is well documented that Twitter has re-written many parts of the FE/BE framework, so I think it likely that their NIH attitude might be a benefit.

I can't imagine the user's devices were targeted (e.g. Obama's cell phone), so this must be internal. Eff me.

can you post how you track the wallet this is going into? Thanks. EDIT: Someone already did: https://bitref.com/bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wl...

I really HOPE the details of this hack become public, because this is huge. (I can already hear celebs who say dubious things trying to claim they were hacked.)

Because it isn't true. It is him inventing a cause of a problem by simply ignoring many, many womens' experiences with discrimination in STEM that starts at a young age, which is extensively documented. This is what privilege look

I agree that using the word "perspective" is useful as a 101-level concept because perspectives can change radically based on a number of socioeconomic and cultural conditions out of their control. I think privilege is a 201-level

The last paragraph is nefarious: "Once you realize that orthodox privilege exists, a lot of other things become clearer. For example, how can it be that a large number of reasonable, intelligent people worry about something they call &

I remember the ham-fisted "The Day After" miniseries when I was in highschool. It was the biggest TV event since the miniseries "Roots" in the late 70's (watch that and you'll never look at "Reading Rainbo

TBH, I'd really like to work for the FCC doing this stuff. I know it's grunt work, but it would be such a great end-of-career job to scrutinize hardware to the nth degree, and just have to worry about doing a precise job, not a fa

If it weren't for your examples, I wouldn't have believed blackhats would waste time using Python. It seems like it would be easier to defend against Python malware isn't precompiled, and if it is precompiled, we're just

I'm grateful for Grant, an engineer who isn't a billionaire-egomaniac and still stirred such a passion in so many. How often are engineers role models? At least in this part of history.

Java, Javascript, potato, potahto. Did you miss the part about custom instructions?

by staycoolboy 6y ago
Intel? Dude, have you seen Arm's JavaScript instructions? Or RISC-V's user-defined instructions? (and Arm announced the same thing at Arm Tech Con last year) Someone is missing the boat: custom ISA is the future.

Hmm... Might be time to start looking into Rust. Is it popular in college? I think that's what made Python displace Java. EDIT: lol. Decided to dive in a hit this almost immediately: https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book&

"640K ought to be enough for anybody." (I know, Gates never said it, but no one posted this yet and I felt it my duty.)

I think this is great because it invites discussion. As an Italian, I'd like to point out that tortellini can be fried, shallow, in a skillet, and tossed with hearty greens.

FTA: "...the LightSpeed bug was fixed in iOS 12 with a patch that didn't address the root cause and instead just turned the race condition double-free into a memory leak. Then, in iOS 13, this memory leak was identified as a bug a

Oh, I hadn't thought of that: woofers are huge because they are quite a distance from the listener's ear and have to move all the air in the room, vs a tiny earhole. Makes sense, thanks.

It claims 20Hz at 90 dB. How in the heck is that possible with such a tiny device?

I like to start by explaining that UX has existed for over 5000 years: in the way tools are fashioned, pottery is turned, fields are plowed, food is prepared, instruments are played, lore and laws are written, etc. UX is ubiquitous, and det

You're making an argument that open source is better because it is free. This is a 30 year old argument. The problem is, people need to get paid in the interim. For exmaple, Intel is the biggest contributer to the linux kernel, but wit

This is dead on. I've also heard this referred to as "tactics" and "strategy". "Tactics" are various bullet-lists of things you need to repeatedly do to maintain best practices (eating protein & liftin

It's no secret that NVIDIA is involved with RISC V. And don't forget Intel v Ampere (the company, not the NVIDIA chip). Intel is facing incredible competition. Once a crack appears in the server market and Arm rushes in, Intel wil

Oh yeah, that's right. Good point! I just illustrated how unhip I was in the early 90's.

The one thing that throws a wrench in this story for me: Lattes. Latte's in 1994? In North Carolina? No way. Maybe on the West Coast, but I moved to Cali in 1989 and they were a rarity until the mid-late 90's. There were only 425
