GDS are bringing them together, slowly... I recently applied for Personal Independence Payments (PIP). And despite being a new 'system' plus the assessments are carried out by two large IT outsourcing companies (Capita & Atos)

It isn't the easiest article to read, plus they over complicate things by talking about things such as truncating SHA2 hashes. I don't see why changing the hashing algorithm is so problematic, hence the reason why I asked the ques

There's no mention of one of the worst culprits, buses with diesel engines. Plus, outside of rush-hour they're driving around virtually empty.

Unless I'm missing something, why not just allow repositories to be upgraded to SHA2 hashes? The only problem is ensuring everyone's tooling supports it.

I am fascinated by the wings, you can see that they have been heavily optimised and wonder how much compute time went into perfecting them. I'd love to see a documentary on the design & construction. I have a carbon-fibre road bike

Most 'Smoke-free' policies are superficial and often make the problems worse e.g. Smoke-free sites mean people smoke near entrances, causing more annoyance for non-smokers. I've noticed most building sites around London are s

It would be interesting to see how micro-plastics differ from silica/ sand. Something most of us have been exposed to, especially if you live near a beach or other sandy environment. One thing I do know is that not all sand is alike. T

I don't think it is purely a TSMC supply issue. To put it bluntly; AMD isn't used to selling that many CPUs. Zen 1/+ brought them parity with intel performance-wise (something AMD has been laking for over a decade). It's

Likewise (I 2nd L1Techs btw). Having 16 cores/ 32 threads will greatly aid testing server applications. Making multi-threading & locking issues much more apparent (Amdahl's law) than they would on a slightly older CPU with onl

Wow, I didn't expect that. Laptops were the only market Intel was still strong, still dominated. Having brought an rx5700 XT recently, the power usage has been just as impressive as the performance. AMD will have some very nice product

For the 4000 series, they're planning on sharing the L3 caches between CCD's/ chiplets rather than per CCX. It will be interesting to see if the more cache availible per core, and more cores being able to access the same cach

I'm looking forward to a 3950X, this is the first time you can get a lot of cores without the expense of low clockspeeds. I was interested in the new ThreadRippers however, I do beleive this gen is overpriced. I realise this is how sup

The problem with this strategy is that they often have much lower clock speeds/ IPC, plus they are often quite power-hungry and lose the ability to overclock (that one's subjective). So you do often get bitten by Amdahl's law

Yes, very much so.

This problem isn't down to vaping, it's black-market THC products that were the problem. The ingredients in vape products are very safe (similar formation to the ingredients in asthma inhalers, and many other places). Yes, a dozen

Yeah, the correct term is civilian or more commonly known as civvy. Error, in translation? Or they may need to be a Dutch citizen for security clearance, which would make sense. It does sound similar to the UK's version, and I'm s

I don't believe this for a second. This is a hybrid fine-art / Ponzi scheme. Investors pay over the odds to inflate the valuation, hoping that more will follow after them, raising the value further, repeating the cycle.

Banning encryption in one place will not change anything, it just means that those who want their actions hidden will go elsewhere or use tools such as VPNs, which seem fairly common these days, even amongst general users.

It's not so different from an electric wheelchair, the major difference is that your eye-line isn't crotch height. Plus, there's no reason they cannot add some type of haptic feedback. It doesn't even need to be natural

I have no issue with them mentioning Oracle's involvement. They just went too far, by taking up [exactly] 50% of the video, the marketing spiel is a distraction from the breakthrough. Media companies aren't going to promote it, as

Speaking of right to repair, As anyone seen the price of hard drives lately? External drives are MUCH cheaper (half price in some cases), which seems backwards when the external drive also comes with an enclosure, power supply and cables. L
