I reckon it would be more in the range of minutes (depending on how complete of a linux system we are talking about here). The QSPI peripherial can run at 100MHz if I read the datasheet correctly (so you can read/write data at about 40

How exactly would this straightforward extension of IPv4 to 128 bits look like? How would it differ from how IPv6 today looks like? Frankly I can't see any way (that has at least some degree of sanity), to make a backwards-compatible r

So first of these are not images of stars, but spectra. From these spectra you can extract quite a number of observables, such as radial velocity (how fast it is coming towards/moving away from us) in this case. Since planets orbiting

Actually it's 12km. But that's beside the point. Unterschleißheim is not part of Munich itself, so in regards to the corporate tax it does make a difference to both cities where it is paid (and we are talking about millions of eur

xterm's support for the Tek graphics terminal is actually quite neat, since you can use it with for example gnuplot to plot things over a (bad) SSH connection. Also there is still some niche software that still requires it (for example

Oh I am perfectly aware. It's just not all projects require JWST-level sensitivity and they are somewhat less known. Also I think SOFIA in visitor-mode is hard to beat when it comes to the coolness-factor.

There is also SOFIA [1] (2.5m telescope on an airplane), which can do certain far-IR things (mid-IR as well iirc). For the VLT (8m ground-based telescopes) there is also VISIR [2] which is an mid-IR imager/spectrometer (and uses the sa

Warzone2100 would be a proper example of an commercial game having a open source afterlife (including being ported to linux/mac and continued development to this very day).

Is there significant legislation that only benefits doctors at the expense of everyone else? Only legislation that's designed to protect their customers comes to mind right now.

ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb, etc. are all different experiments that just happen to share the same accelerator. They are done using different detectors, designed, built, operated and the data is analyzed by different groups of people. If you fo

RMS always refers to DRM as Digital Restrictions Management. Also conveys the intent quite nicely - plus you can keep the acronym ;-)

You have to keep in mind that the mentioned sub-microseconds are the _reaction time_. HFT can't beat the speed of light either. Therefore if your orders are synchronized to better than the speed of light distance to the next exchange,

Judging from the date in the URL of the linked paper [1] and the corresponding section in the Wikipedia article on the EMdrive suggests that you might have better luck looking at somewhat older news articles. Publication date (and PDF metad

I disagree. In my case my bias towards products I have bought before (and that were good) is much stronger than brand name recognition. Therefore if I didn't already buy products from their brand anyway then I probably won't in fu

If I come across an particularly annoying ad I will try my best to remember that brand and buy the competitor out of spite (if there is no cheap generic store brand available anyway). Surely I am not the only one that does this.

A good (timing) GPS receiver can easily get you within the sub-microsecond region of UTC. And yes.. stratum 0 sources do include GPS as timing source. Conversely having an atomic clock as frequency source, doesn't automatically make yo

That's assuming that booting is CPU-bound. However I am fairly confident that for over 90% of people it is IO-bound in which case throwing more CPUs at the problem won't make it go any faster (might even be slower). And for refere

I already replied to that before, but only now realized that both are the same author, which made this post about runit slightly redundant since I already touched on in my reply to that post.

Actually runit can do parallel startup (runsvdir tries to start all services in parallel) and can handle dependencies between services [1]. And there is at least one distribution that actually uses runit in this configuration [2]. [1] http
