This has also been a common theme in recent decades with respect to privacy. In the US, the police do not generally need a warrant to tail you as you go around town, but it is phenomenally expensive and difficult to do so. Cellphone locatio

Does it have the same issue with key repeat? It's a long standing iOS bug, but some apps seem to fix it (somehow). Without the fix, vim ends up being essentially unusable since I can't press and hold on the cursor movement keys. i

Wouldn't that apply only to a truly unlimited subscription? Last I looked all of their subs have a usage limit. If you're on anything but their highest tier, it's not altogether unreasonable for them to optimize for the great

I suggest you find a new DEFLATE library if you're losing data when you compress things with it :)

You don't have to fly in acro mode lol. The common hobbyist drone firmwares have full support for even things like autonomous GPS missions. You also don't need expensive gimbal stabilized cameras; you're not making a cinemati

The original example is very common in ISAs at least. Both ARMv8 and RISC-V (likely others too but I don't have as much experience with them) have the idea of requiring software to treat reserved bits as if they were zero for both read

The linked article states that you'd use VSCode, so no touching Xcode.

Genies, maybe? They are omnipotent and (generally) sufficiently aware of your desires that they shouldn't actually get "confused". Genies are tricksters that will do their absolute best to fulfill the letter of your wish but

The other commentator mentioned Verilator (which is indispensable in larger designs) but you may also want to grab Icarus Verilog too. It's a FOSS simulator and, unlike Verilator, is 2-bit and so it handles X ("don't care&quo

This is the kind of advertisement-blog-post that should not have been published until after disclosure. These are quite extraordinary claims and that demands extraordinary evidence.

Yeah...HTTP/1 is one of those weird cases where the older protocol is considerably more difficult to implement correctly than the newer ""more complex"" standard. This is especially true if you want your server to w

sbrk grows linearly, and if anything is mapped in the way it fails. mmap can map anywhere there's space as it is not restricted to linear mappings. So, you'd better hope a mapping doesn't randomly land there and run you out o

Most of the laws which touch on DRM are federal, and so they override any state laws due to the supremacy clause.

Test pads are great for these anxious breakouts. I usually drop tons and tons of test pads on the back of my boards as it's a very dense and unobtrusive way to expose traces that you probably don't need.

I used to really believe this too, but I stumbled across the "Five Geek Social Fallacies" and it really helped me understand why I was so apprehensive to exclude others. Some people just don't mesh well, and trying to force i

There are lots of justifications. It's the same as why people can be soldiers or build missiles and still sleep at night: you believe (or at least tell yourself) that you're stopping bad people. There are good applications of thes

It's fairly common to use something like nginx as a forward proxy and do TLS there. IPv4 and NAT makes this essentially mandatory if you want to host multiple services due to eSNI. You wouldn't necessarily have protection inside t

It's a problem in Spanish too. You'll sometimes see buttons with the infinitive and others with the 2nd person command form. I recently saw a major company's app using both in the same dialog . It's madness.

That's not necessarily true. Many modern CPUs have uop caches, and it's reasonable to assume implementations will eliminate NOPs before placing lines in the uop cache. A hit on the uop cache loses any slowdown you hoped to achieve

This is one of the things which cheeses me the most about LLVM. I can't build LLVM on less than 16GB of RAM without it swapping to high heaven (and often it just gets OOM killed anyways). You'd think that LLVM needing >16GB to

Passwords are (or, rather, SHOULD be) cryptographically hashed rather than encrypted. It's possible to compute a hash over data which is longer than the hash input block size by feeding precious hashes and the next input block back in
