I consider myself as a big fan of Metroidvanias, I'm even the kind of person who actively looks for new games in this genre, and those were my thoughts as well. I would even say that this game manages to hit the 3 points in which I avo

Unfortunately, MicroG hasn't been maintained in the past months or so and the only developer barely communicates anymore. It's getting to a state in which it will stop working very soon.

It would work just as fine writing a blog post on an appropriate platform and then sharing the link through Twitter.

At some point in time, there was a middle ground between those two extremes: Wordpress, Blogspot and so on.

It certainly is. I can't possibly fathom what goes on people's minds that leads them to think Twitter is a great platform for information sharing. It makes me sad that humanity gave up blogging for tweeting. I can't think of

TrustZone is not an equivalent technology to ME/PSP. TrustZone is a technology for providing hardware isolation and ME/PSP are co-processors that manage the entire CPU socket (the Ryzens and the i9s)

No, it is not licensed from Arm. AMD's PSP is a system built by AMD itself, it just happened for them to buy Arm cores to build their system. They could have used MIPS, PowerPC or any other CPU cores for PSP, they just decided to go wi

Arm sells barebones CPU cores which can be used to create more complex processors like complete SoCs. When I mean barebones, I mean the traditional core with branch predictors, instruction fetchers, writebacks, etc. Intel and AMD sell an en

The API of Google Play Services is not really open to re-implementation by third parties. The fact that microG exists doesn't invalidate the author's point. Google allows microG to exist because it is something of a niche, it is n

All of what you describe are not done, or guaranteed, by RISC-V. RISC-V only refers to the CPU cores, the same way Arm refers to the CPUs as well. Actually, Arm cores don't force any kind of proprietary board architectures or binary bl

Most of the things you mentioned are not related to bank accounts, they are related to having a Swedish Personnumber (Swedish national ID number). It is perfectly possible to live in Sweden using an international bank account, I have friend

The point of my comment was that this is not HN worthy. There is no actual content besides pure advertisement.

This video felt nothing more than a commercial company taking advantage of the "open-source hardware" and "RISC-V" flags to promote their proprietary IP solution.

But an Yubikey is a passive and isolated device: it doesn't turn itself on, it doesn't run any apps, it doesn't connect to the internet. And if it gets compromised (stolen or exploited), it's cheap enough to throw it awa

It's not old school, it's standard practice in the ASIC design industry. You mentioned those papers but you didn't link them, so I will have to guess that this is the one in order to address your comment: - https:/&#x2F

Then both of us must be designing ASICs which are worlds apart. :-) Asynchronous resets are fundamental because they are not dependent of the presence of a working clock. Imagine that you have a system working on synchronous reset: if your

Strange bugs can happen if the hardware is not correctly initialized and the presence of an asynchronous reset is almost an universal practice when it comes to this. Not to mention that the coding style of a always@ block might influence ce

As an hardware engineer, I'm always skeptical of these homebrewed high level design flows, they usually never seem to translate to good hardware. And it seems to be the case for this one too. I quickly generated some Verilog code from

Usually it's per grant. It's quite common for big companies like Intel to give bonuses to the employees for filling patents. The attitude of these companies is to incentivize employees to patent whatever they come up with, whether

Tesla had to raise a lot of money from investors to keep the business afloat. In 2017 alone, they had to raise a debt of $2bn to keep their cash reserves alive so that they could continue investing on their products. Volkswagen, on the othe

I have to disagree, most of the current electric car offerings on the market are more expensive than the base price of the Model 3 (looking at the BMW i3 in Europe, the base price is 45000 dollars). Tesla is a company that was built from th
