Yeah, the intel driver in Mojave on my 2015 13" pro has a bunch of issues. I see random buffer garble when waking the external screen, sometimes the machine freezes with hw video decoding and the resolution switches to low-def on monit

Of course it's about compatibility, about code-reuse of existing libraries. – Which is done a lot to this day.

I know Apple will not re-sell devices obtained in a buyback/trade-in deal, but being confronted with the reality of it like this makes me think. After boiling off the pragmatic trade offs, I'm left being slightly baffled by discou

URL parsing is a nightmare. There are lots of RFCs, but the real world is full of quirks. This will lead to edge case differences between the implementations. Also, which URI standard is part of the spec, what if the URI standard evolves?

There are alternative apps for the Mi Band that work purely on-device. Mi Band Master is one of them. The setup is a bit more involved with newer bands, but a one-time thing. Works really well.

They probably invoke maven with "mvn clean package" which does a fresh complete build, but only for deploying it.

Maven is incremental per default. Also java compilation is much faster than kotlin, so it is less of a problem. Furthermore, IntelliJ (as much as I love it) has a terrible live compilation story compared to eclipse. Eclipse recompiles affec

Interesting, didn't Rage pioneer the on-demand texture streaming approach? It fits well with the DMA SSDs in the coming console generation. Wow, that's now a decade ago.

Wow, this looks awesome. This formfactor, combined with a LoRa transceiver would be epic as an off-grid or fallback comms device. I get fuzzy cyberpunk feelings imagining it. Bunnie's projects are always intriguing. I'm still amaz

A 128bit ISA is super unlikely. We're barely using the 48bit implemented in AMD64 of 64 possible address bits. Wider data arguments are already implemented as AVX/2/512.

its a rather expensive operation, so restricting for anonymous users is a sensible trade off.

It is the other way around though. I firmly believe iOS security is driven by preventing jail breaks and homebrew apps to protect their AppStore revenue.

Their work is awesome. I run Mojave on my old 2009 Macbook Pro with this and it runs very well.

Well, it all depends on what operations you need. exact key lookup/write? -> Easy, just use any KV store and append the version to the key, then do a ceil/floor lookup in the KV with the key+target version. Supporting efficient

The proof is just the nodes in the path of the merkle tree to the root. (or all sibling nodes of the path to the root). So proof "generation" is just fetching the nodes and sending them to the client.

Nice! I implemented pretty much the same trade off set in an authenticated storage system. single writer, radix merkle tree, persistent storage, hashed keys, proofs. I guess it is a local maxima within that trade off space. I like how the t

Wonder if rust ranks in there, it has a very ML-feel. Considering mindshare/Jobs/Developers.

The EU plugs are all available with earth. The earthed one only at the end of the extension cord to the power brick. Both included in the box from apple.

I agree hence the quotes. It's nepotism, backroom deals, lobbying and vying for cushy jobs in the industry.

I really don't understand the title, the only toxic thing in there could be the lead based solder. How many solder joints are in there? 4 ? Referring to solar panels as toxic trash is grasping at straws and it makes me wonder what moti

In the same sense that we will all be saved by CO2 capturing devices? These kinds of reactors (Travelling Wave Reactor etc.) you mention are vapourware and have been for quite some time. And I highly doubt the "which destroys it foreve

Did they teach you where the nuclear waste goes too?
323.
by ysleepy 6y ago
Ah yes, decidedly pro-nuclear stance here. The first obvious omissions that come to mind are: 1. The evacuations took place while the meltdown was ongoing, evacuating was the sane choice given the available knowledge at the time. 2. There i

It is a problem, but not in the extent this article or people make it out to be. There are 3 nation wide 4G networks, every home has old landlines. What is a true problem however is the political unwillingness to force cell providers to c

Cool technique. I read the evaluation and there is afaik no mention if the tests were run multi-threaded or single threaded. Considering the rather complex dynamic of Intel's downclocking with AVX512 workloads, that would be pretty int

I've got almost three years of web history with full text locally in compressed 10gib, if you go for images and video it will get bigger though.

Really interested in reading a technical post-mortem for that.

It is related. You can't easily run your own mail server because the hurdles you have to overcome to not land in gmails (outlook, etc.) spam folder - or even get delivered at all. DKIM, SPOF, a good IP range. Then your server itself wi

It should, but they are an underhanded technique that deserves being made known and judged.

I am aware. The thought I had could maybe better expressed as: "If even SQLite, with its almost unsurpassed testing, has so many 'issues', then that approach of testing cannot be seen as a strong indicator of correctness.&quo
