Don't forget that the "Stable" definition for Debian is not the normal one, they are super zelous. Testing and Sid distributions are "stable" for the rest of distros. And remember that all those bugs on the Debian r

Really dissapointed. I hope Chris is happy having completely stained his portfolio. You'd think a well maintained project would be worth more for his future career than some donations now. uBlock Origin is the way to go.

But the point of FPGAs is to be cost effective. They are a substitute for custom PCB designs with RT components and somewhat low production numbers (500~5.000 devices, depends on the FPGA etc). Either you build something big enough that it

I would argue that for the job you are aiming for, you could do it more than fine with a microncontroller like a 3 bucks ATMEGA or Arduino. You would program it in C, and you don't need a 60 bucks FPGA + a 200 bucks for the FPGA contro

I think a lot of people posting here don't realize that programming an FPGA means programming how the gates are set up on the FPGA, not software programming. VHDL/Verilog etc are descriptive languages, not software languages ala C

That's a bad example, true. In my defense I have to say that I jumped ship before NT, but I remember how people looked at NT's Blue Screen of Death(™) as if it were a normal thing to have in computers and software.

I studied CS, and mathematical software verification and functional languages where mandatory in my uni. Unless you are an engineer by accident, I would say you should be as prepared as you could be (albeit new to the field). Honestly, the

yet, they are just phasing all the important bits to privative code. Of course, this Android for work goes with Google Play, and guess what, it is privative, of course. Just a step more into their "Extinguish" phase.

I tried to find any info about license or repos and couldn't find anything. Unlike Samsung's Knox, which is FOSS, how can this be even remotely secure if it is closed source? Seems that Google is full on the "Extinguish"

He doesn't have one. Sometimes I wonder how difficult would be to sneak a sabouteur into the crypto community, who advocated for ditching proven and safe crypto tools, wanted his solutions on top of centralized servers owned by others,

I really don't grok why I should want to use my smartphone to move up and down my wifi connected blinders. Yet that's all I see when all of this is pictured: gimmicks. I want to see a demo of a room alarm clock: with rising light

that being said, the intelligent light bulb approach has its advantages: I can take a handful of lightbulbs with me to other room/apartment in a heartbeat. And the problem of getting dimmable LEDs out of an AC source is not easy, you a

You end up with an aristocracy that can afford to have better superhuman children meanwhile the plebs can't afford it. And it would perpetuate itself. Bye tabula rasa in birth and death.

I would add Brave new world to the mixture, so there's awareness of what happens when there is surplus of cat pics and reality shows. edit: oh, one starts to write a comment, attends the phone, and your idea is already submitted :&#x2F
