This. I moved to Feedly who have even started to implement parsers for non-RSS sites. I'm very happy with it.

Norman is so great. Look at the photos elsewhere on his site of him teaching COMP40 class. That's exactly the kind of person you want teaching you about computer science.

You can replace PIA with any other VPN provider. I'd trust a commercial VPN provider with good reviews more than I'd trust myself to get good crypto right.

This seems a bit pointless to me. If your aim is to hide your traffic from third-party networks you might be on (free wifi, school, hotels, etc) then a yearly VPN subscription is almost certainly cheaper than the cheapest DigitalOcean dropl

If you watch the talk, their main problems were designing Persona as a hosted service within Mozilla so that others could not replicate, and creating it as a product and not a platform so success was measured the wrong way for what their ai

Modern software hasn't had the capability until recently. These Stratus VOS systems get updates by direct assembly patching over the running kernel. Linux ksplice and kpatch are relatively new, and AFAIK only Oracle support their use i

Open source drivers will be the only way to ensure that. All these fruit clones look great on paper, then you realise you're stuck on an ancient closed source kernel if you want to use the hardware for 3D or video or sometimes even at

I've read the PocketCHIP team is working on open source 3D for Mali but I haven't looked into it very deeply.

Stick with your Pi boards. Better experience all round.

This, and the Mali driver is closed source, so if it doesn't do what you want, you're screwed.
943.
by suprjami 10y ago
Yeah, this is another waste of time. I believe Rockchips have closed source drivers on their device tree, so forget ever running a truly open source distro or building your own. I'll gladly be corrected about that. The Mali GPU drivers

The closest I ever came was a Nigerian scam where a crown prince had been one of the first people on a space station in the 90s, but his return seat was taken up by cargo when they decommissioned the satellite, so they just left him in orbi

For all people wondering why FreeDOS is important, this is it. Education needs Free Software.

My understanding is that a long pipeline is only a benefit if the CPU gets fast enough to consume from that pipeline. CPUs around 2005-2010 had long pipelines in anticipation of higher CPU speeds which never happened. More recently, Intel h

That risk alone is why I never even open Microsoft source code.

You can see my response here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13208548 The fact you implicitly accept that people will comment without watching a whole video or reading an entire article is much worse than any snark in

Wow, such hypocrisy. On one hand you say snark is unwarranted because HN posters are of a higher caliber than other sites and we don't post that sort of stuff around here. On the other hand you say people on Reddit commented without wa
