Binary FPGA configuration instructions - block RAM contents, routing switch configruation, register configuration an initial state, PLL/DCM configuration, and of course LUT contents. That's the final result of the toolchain, ready to get sent to the FPGA via JTAG or written into a configuration flash chip. It's the FPGA equivalent of machine code.

For the higher level object file or assembly language, that would be a netlist - essentially a digital representation of a schematic. The HDL is transformed into a netlist, then the netlist is optimized and the components converted from generics to device-specifc components, then the placement and routing is determined, and finally a 'bit' file is generated for actually configuring the FPGA. This process can take several hours for a large design.

I'm sorry that you feel this way, but being a CS student, ones know the horrors such simple spelling errors can unravel in codes, machine architecture and programming to name a few.

Correct spelling and grammar is what makes your OS function, the doses of medicine prescribed correct and it can sometimes be the difference between life and death.

I view it as the foundation for any thing important that you want to communicate.
1. So how does FreeBSD ship it? I thought their whole OS (kernel+main userspace) is under a BSD lisence.

2. Why can't Linux vendors ship source code to be compiled on clients computers, so no distribution (forgot the legal term) takes place?

3. If the patent license only covers the code they released (and they reserve the right to sue over reimplementations), what will FreeBSD (or illumios) do if they'res a bug in the code? Once you change the code, you very sued

Unless AngelList is teeming in cash, which they probably aren't, the deal is likely either all stock or mostly stock. So imagine AngelList internally values themselves at $500M (a number I just made up), to get to the 20M figure they would be offering ~4% of their stock in exchange for PH. Most likely common stock. Adjust that figure up or down depending on what you think AL thinks they are worth.

I guess I see things in shades of grey, not black and white.

I think dogmatic positions are almost always wrong :)
I don't know if it's still the case, but when I was involved for ~18 months ca. 2007/8, the cleaning products were actually very very good. I heard from others (not affiliated with Amway) that back closer to the start of the company they were some of the best non-commercial cleaning products you could get.

But I agree with you that nearly everything else was garbage. Some of the food was good but I was not concerned with health in 2007/8 so it may be garbage from a health/nutrition standpoint.

AWS Shield – Protect Your Applications from DDoS Attacks
Everything electric in your house can start a fire, yet I imagine you don't live like an Amish person. You make a rational gamble with yourself to allow this tech and deal with extremely rare edge cases because of the greater utility this technology gives you.

Vess's point is that yes you can find defects in AV, but that doesn't invalidate AV the same way finding defects in the linux kernel or openssl doesn't mean we'll stop using linux or ssl.

Also, if you look at some of Tavis's work you'll find scary things like buffer overflows but also disclaimer comments on how tough it would be to actually exploit it due to OS-level protections or other protections. I'm fairly certain we haven't seen any in-the-wild exploits that actually compromise AV. If it was practical to do, it would be the defacto exploit considering you get to take down the gatekeeper and get to run your code at the same time.

I think a lot of people interpret Tavis's work in a hysterical manner and it leads to thinking about tossing out the baby with the bathwater. I also think there's a pretty major disconnect between devs and everyday end user habits. Sure, you can live without AV, probably, but get rid of it wholesales at every Fortune 500 company or in a major city and then tell me how you think things will play out. I imagine not well regardless of how 'more secure' Chrome or Firefox can be made.
You say that like their quality doesn't suffer today because of how divided their focus has been in the past :)

AWS's crustiness is exactly what I would expect from an agglomeration of adversarial teams each looking to minimize their own liability at the expense of everyone else. Given that they're still organized that way, the surprise would be if they turned the trend around, not if it continued.
Mark Cuban and Shark Tank Got Royally Screwed
This patent is actually really interesting. Up until now, most exogenous enzyme treatments in food production have been catabolic. This anabolic idea is something I haven't thought would be possible. Table 7 is really the tell-all. Starting with 270g sucrose, the sucrose is converted into Fructose and higher sugars. Only 180g of the sucrose is accounted fo rin that table, meaning the other 90g of sucrose is made into something even higher than they show in the table.
What use would an AV package for macOS or Linux be? The number of hostile programs for that is so short you could write it out on a napkin, and many of those have been addressed at the operating system level.

There's malware detection built into macOS, though most wouldn't realize it since almost nobody ever encounters this stuff. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202234 You have to go out of your way to find, download, and force-install this.

Likewise, I'm not even sure there's actual viable Linux malware in the wild.

The biggest threats you have on Linux are with SQL injection vulnerabilities or WordPress-type installs that have bugs that allow arbitrary execution of code. No AV package will ever help you there.
It's both. The dosage makes the poison.

Cool story, but he bought the plane from Allen in 2011 when oil prices were about double the price today (it averaged $111/bbl for the year).

Trump bought it not because of oil prices, but because it was huge (among other things, Allen used it as the team plane for the Seahawks).
At least in the US, there's a strong investor preference for growth stocks. This often drives companies to keep trying to increase revenue from saturated markets rather than stepping back reinvestment and paying a dividend.
I'm sure it'll be a different culture but that's part of the fun. My only advice would be to take promises of future buckets of money with a grain of salt.
I don't know how it works in America, but there are strict rules in the UK about where money like that gets invested. It ain't with VCs. Think gilts and blue chip.

I'd be surprised if even America was mad enough to let pension funds go for VC.

> Interesting bit about the law, there... the thing is, they can essentially use universities as a proxy while maintaining plausible deniability, right?

Not really plausible deniability, but there is popular mythology about general intelligence tests being illegal and not university background, while in either case the rule is that if it disadvantages a protected class, it must be demonstrably a valid predictive measure of job performance to be legal; because of the popular mythology, people are probably more like to challenge use of tests than use of university admissions, so using tests probably has higher expected legal costs even when you are right, and greater chance of getting sanctioned when you are wrong, because if people don't bother to challenge it in the first place, there is no risk of sanctions.

OTOH, for the same reason, people actually using tests are more likely to actually be aware of and guided by the legal rules, so there are probably more cases where university background is being used in an illegal way than is the case for general intelligence tests.

Here's a collection of get-started resources: http://tinyurl.com/fpga-resources

You can start with the EDA Playground tutorial, practice with HDLBits, while going through a book alongside (e.g., Harris & Harris) for examples, exercises, and best practices.

Similarly to a sibling thread, I'd also go with a free and open source flow, IceStorm (for the cheaply available iCE40 FPGAs): http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/

You can follow-up from the aforementioned tutorial and continue testing the designs on an iCE40 board -- starting here: http://hackaday.com/2015/08/19/learning-verilog-on-a-25-fpga...

Here are some really great presentations about it (slides & videos) by the creator (which can also serve in part as a general introduction):

illumos has been a thriving project for over six years, fully independent from Oracle. There has been zero code sharing, and little interaction of any kind.
The "urban areas" where 80% of the US population resides is nothing like what most people would consider urban. I believe my neighbor's 35 acre orchard and forest is considered urban because we live in a town with a population of about 7,000 people.

"The Census Bureau defines "urban" for the 1990 census as
comprising all territory, population, and housing units in
urbanized areas and in places of 2,500 or more persons outside urbanized areas."
Crowd Valley to Address Democratization of Finance at Global Solutions Summit
In my experience with iPhones, this was true for older generations where they simply didn't have the processing power for newer OS features. My switch from my iPhone 4 to a 5 was strictly for performance reasons, but I went from my 5 to a 6S just to have something newer with mostly a better camera and touch-id. Performance-wise the phone was still perfectly usable (my brother still uses it). Sure it was a lot faster, and there still are massive leaps in performance with every generation, but these days that performance is mostly used to race to idle for improved battery life.

For the current applications, an iPhone 5S level of performance - a phone which is 4 years old - is still very usable today. That's also why Android flagship phones aren't really in trouble while still struggling to match the performance of a year-old iPhone 6S, and can't even dream of getting near the iPhone 7's performance. They mostly try to compete with stuff people do notice these days: the camera - where they have a lot more success.

Doesn't look like it from the article. That could be very interesting, but there could be network architecture constraints that prevent Amazon from providing that from the get-go. And it wouldn't be used in all cases, so that could burn a lot of switch ports. Seems like they're targeting more compute offload and less network appliance.
Lead/Senior Java Engineer | Capital One UK | Nottingham, UK | Full-Time | ONSITE | Good Salary + Package
I'm looking for a brilliant Java engineer with AWS experience to take on a very senior technical role in my team. We're a super versatile, cross-functional group of engineers who work on our integrations with third parties.

Capital One is a pretty awesome place to work; nice balance of "grown up" company and fun startup. Good canteen, fun spaces, relaxed work environment. Salary and benefits are excellent.
As a senior/lead engineer at our Nottingham office you will work within an agile feature team on a wide array of intriguing problems; such as API authentication, on-boarding external developers and auto-scaling infrastructure. Our teams have a high degree of empowerment to own their products from design to production. We are just beginning a journey into the cloud and want you to help take us there.

This isn't a line management role; we call you an "individual contributor" who is at the top of their game and has a passion to focus on engineering over management. At Capital One we cherish engineers like you and have excellent career development opportunities that don't require you to take on a team.

Interview Process; we've worked on this for a while and it's slick. Simple online coding challenge, phone-screen, 1-day interview & we commit to being able to make a decision without getting you back for second-rounds
