I made a simplified MIPS (no FPU, 4-stages pipeline with a basic interrupt controller and nothing out of order or the like) in VHDL for a uni course. We had some simpler exercises before that (e.g., PS2 keyboard controller) and with that I found it quite OK.

One just needs to avoid falling for the similarities with programming too much, and rather think in terms of signal and have the clock in mind.

The worst things are the tooling, e.g., I expected Quartus to crash or hang at any moment, I early wrote a TCL script to setup the project and FPGA pin mapping to be able to scratch the Quartus project at any time and just recreate it in seconds without losing any work (or my mind).

There's ghdl (open source) which I found quite nice, but that's only for virtual development and (at least then) had no support for getting out a bitstream to load onto a real FPGA, so often I used it for test benches and some quicker development tries before actually loading it onto the FPGA every so often.
I'm glad at how so many people - the performers, the women - are willing to ignore all of this and provide personalized erotic entertainment as the progressives liberalize the supply side and aim to make that safe.

The only thing happening here is that I'm pointing out that the discussion of the demand side is comparatively immature. The performers all know the analytics showing such a wide population of consumers. The consumers are mostly silo'd and don't know the breadth of it. Everyone just nods and agrees with the people saying exclusionary prohibitory things so as not to be targeted and vilified as "the creepiest thing". But I think I'm in a good position to help normalize this already existing reality, as I have practically zero consequences aside from a post potentially losing consensus and visibility in tech circles.

"Use your platform! Silence is violence!" As the leftists say.

To your point, we share the observation that some people exclude forms of female empowerment that overlap with the patriarchy. But its just a venn diagram. From my perspective, the empowerment goal has always been "choice", which some people distort to "not that choice!" because they meant the choice of exploitative labor for a FAANG.

The population is actually broad enough to flip on this very fast. They just don't know yet!
>Would you accept such a violent and criminal fantasy for literally any other product?

It seems like you jumped a step. The fantasy wasn't a driver mowing down people. I want pedestrians to get out from in front of my vehicle in just about every setting.
Wow cheers thanks for the advice, as chance has it this is in the possibility of arrangement
I find it curious that one solution to improve these networks suggested is to unbundle infrastructure from operations.

Sure on paper it makes sense, but neither Japan nor Switzerland went that way and those are the best rail systems in the world (at least as far as my personal experience goes).

I'm also pretty sure most of us in any language use Slack, SMS or other forms of communication where text isn't necessarily presented in a grammatical correct manner and we all figure out what the person is saying.
This article doesn't have a date, which is unfortunate. But on this topic, IIHS recently published this: https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/small-suvs-struggle-in-new-...
Yes, and for many of the web-serving machines, that's what happens, they're jenkins.example.com or containers.example.com or similar. But often a singular service is backed by hidden worker nodes, databases, whatever else, and it seems silly to give those machines that level of indirection vs just using the hostname as their sole identifier.
I knew that Google is evil, but that's whole another level.

Note that it uncritically accepts report from 2009 which according to company was meant to be risk modeling exercise. Authors outright dismiss everything either KPL or CapGemini has to say themselves and does not even try presenting mitigations that presumably have been put in place, changes in infrastructure since 2009 and other more contemporary reports.
This is a pretty clear example of the "make the product worse" ticket, though. The interoperable way has been in use for decades—it's just "use an http:// link like everyone else"—but this is them spending extra time to deliberately prevent interoperability
I wish we'd spend more time trying to electrify planes, and less time trying to replace faster means of transportation with slower ones.
There were a (very small) handful of students at Caltech who would do well on the tests without doing the homework (or even attending lectures). Hal Finney (yes, that guy!) was one of them.

I certainly was not.

> for kids like me, we'll succeed im school as long as there aren't active roadblocks from staff

I did get some roadblocks from some the staff. I did well in spite of the staff's efforts :-) My biology teacher disliked me (for good reason, I was a jerk), and told me he was going to be very hard on my grades. If an assignment was subjective, he'd give me a bad grade. If it was objective, he was forced to give me As. Fortunately for me, nearly all the assignments and tests were simple checkboxes.
Can confirm it is good. Have been using it for my blog.
When you have a campfire (or fire in your fireplace), you are releasing polluting carcinogens. When you heat olive oil to the smoke point, you are releasing carcinogens. If/when you do those things, are you also doing something wrong?
Another example are perhaps printer companies? "Execute the jet some ink" protocol needs the exact inkjet cartridge they sell, other products are actively shielded.
The technology is completely different, the effect is quite similar.
Even the countermeasures are similar: changing protocol of weblinks to regular html can be compared to replying "am correct cartridge" signal.
Thanks! I tend to think my last name was a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy—whenever I wrote something half-decent, people would point at my last name and tell me I was supposed to be a writer. Never happened for anything else I knew how to do. However irrational that is, I’m sure it influenced my self-image to some extent.

Then again, back when the name was first introduced, it probably didn’t refer to author in the modern sense, but to a person in the community who, unlike most, was literate (knew how to read and write).
My pre-ordered copy of "The Dawn of Humanity", hot off the press, just arrived yesterday, from Bookshop.org, right on schedule. I am preparing to experience all my cherished preconceptions exploding.

Maybe there's some I haven't seen, but what I do see is stuff like opening a web page from a weather widget. There's nothing MS-specific about it, and the EdgeDeflector thing worked a few days ago. Clicking on html files in MS Explorer still opens Chrome, so I assume they know what to do.
"In an unusual legal twist, the judge appointed a private law firm with ties to Chevron to prosecute Donziger after federal prosecutors declined to bring charges."

Not being a lawyer or other legal minded type, WTF is this? Is this judge just so into their vendetta to do something crazy, or is this something that is allowed for in legal manuevering? How is it not judicial activisim AF?
No, my argument is that someone like me can easily verify that this was a wash trade.

Critical race theory in a nutshell.
Illegal activities done with good intention (and usually outcome) is what the term greyhat is for. It would be fair to argue that's the correct term here for government agency hackers but personally I don't have strong enough stance on the subject to say either way.

I don't understand the animus in replies to your post. It's as if people want to deny that people like myself heat our homes in the winter by blowing air over hot water in a heat-exchanger. We can and many do heat that water during the day with the magic of the sun's rays or by burning wood (the only true renewable we have). Humans have been using thermal property of rock (not concrete, concrete doesn't match rock's efficiency) and water to heat ourselves and our homes for hundreds of years, and will likely continue to do so for hundreds more.
There are people who make food. People who drive trucks. People who fly airplanes. People who do customer service. People who fill cavities. People who cure cancer. People who fill potholes. People who clean floors. People who cook meals. People who maintain transmission lines. People who build houses. I’d say that most jobs are in fact doing critical work to make the world better for people, even if in small ways like improving the dining experience.

I’ll also point out that in the case of the bank overcharging, it sounds like outright fraud (totally unacceptable) and the courts held them to account. It is shocking that fraud and corruption happen, but at least society seems to have a mechanism for dealing with it.

Software engineering isn’t morally questionable, if you aren’t going out of your way to make the world worse for people. There is no compelling reason to do that, so the vast majority of jobs should be perfectly reasonable. I love my job in part because I’m never asked to actively make my product worse, or work against users and customers. We’re imperfect and don’t always work as well as we could, but at least we’re working in the right direction.
Even if all dust particles settle in minutes due to lack of an atmosphere, the fact that they will need to continue mining operations indefinitely to sustain their existence means that an observer on earth will likely be able to determine where they are by the permanent changes they make to the moon surface. It only requires one to monitor the moon over an extended time period. The scale of the operation will define how long that time period will be.

A larger scale operation that might provide oxygen or fuel for boosters traveling away from earth might need to operate full-time for extended periods so that mining operations will be creating a cloud of dust constantly and though it may settle slowly, it will probably be detectable.

Since many of the moon mining plans involve using it as a base for operations away from earth it seems unlikely that these operations would be one and done. I think that once you prove that you can satisfy that need for fuel or air to breathe in your operations and processing that it will only ramp up with time as new uses will be discovered.

I could be wrong. It would not be the first time nor is it likely to be the last.
GoboLinux is old enough to vote in most countries.

My bet is on the second option.

Good point and I agree about Rich but I rather trust healthy markets and competition more than people.
My observation from running a consulting business is that there's a gap in the market that I have not seen meaningfully solved. On the one hand are these no-code tools where you can do something reasonable in a very limited domain. Wix, Squarespace, etc. Every decade the limited domain expands a bit, and you can get something serviceable for your hobby or small business fairly cheaply, in the order of $10s or $100s, maybe a couple thousand.

On the other hand, is full scale development, either in-house or outsourced. This is only doable for projects that are ~$50k and up, even if you go with cheap offshore developers.

So there's this gap from ~$5000 to $50,000 where if that's all you can afford, you just can't justify the project. In theory that's where the "low code" tools should fit, but so far, I have never seen it work out like that.
At least in the U.S. the actions being taken by our federal Executive are plainly illegal. So it hardly matters what the voters want if they can't get our Congress to pass an appropriate law enabling this. If your State Governor wants to mandate something then go for it.
I didn't even know Rubinius was still around.

Last I knew, they worked hard to develop a standard and test suite for 1.9.x which the Ruby team used for one release before promptly breaking everything.

It's yet another example of why programming language standards are important.
you will always have to manage dependencies somehow. Maybe you prefer the model used by flutter or something, thats preference. Its not a matter of whether of one is unsustainable or not. react native is fine for professional or hobby projects. even if you have problems with babel/webpack/etc bundle server (which btw can be worked around using inline bundling...)
I sort of miss the 5 minute compile time coffee breaks.
To be fair in-app payments are something absolutely every developer is interested in. As is code obfuscation as there's plenty of scammy publishers that copy games verbatim and then use fake reviews to push them above the legit games.
As have town ovens (prepare your loaves, and pay for them to be baked) and probably laundry services too, for those who could afford more than one set of clothes. Childcare was mostly done by slaves, which is a capitalised form of the same thing.

It's really a question of degree.
Use Gnu Stow to keep the random bits contained in their own app directory that is symlinked into the /usr/local tree. Then you can manage everything without leaving orphan files behind.

This is interesting and far too progressive for any of the cities to regulate at this time (or at any point in the past). This does sound like the right way to permit new industrial areas / processes. Though I imagine it might be difficult to pull off. Grandfathered industries would have such a huge advantage.
Yes that's https://github.com/ruby/spec - now primarily maintained by TruffleRuby people.
1. Yes there is typescript support.

2. Compared to React yes, because Svelte ships no runtime (or at least a very minimal one). There is a curve though, and very large apps (in the hundreds of components) will eventually be overtaken by something like Preact or vue.

3. No runtime means no restrictions on what they include in the framework. They take full advantage of Svelte being a compiler and include things like complex state management in the form of stores, a built-in transition/animation system with support for springs. Also the included syntax is extremely concise, if you're familliar with vue it'll be fairly easy to pick up.

GoCD bug chain provides second springboard for supply chain attacks
I'm confident he already has those skills. When he was in fourth grade, my wife and I were called into a meeting with the (private) school Principal because my son had "hacked all of the tablets used for class so kids could play games on them."

As it turns out, he merely figured out that flipping the Wi-Fi Off switch killed the network connection on the chrome-based tablets, which makes it easy to get to the chrome dino jumping game.

I was disappointed that he disrupted class, but equally impressed by his resourcefulness.
I think it would make a lot more technical, economic and environmental sense to make air travel greener and quieter through regulation and investment in Europe's world-class aerospace industry rather than attempt to build integrated high-speed rail across the continent at vast cost and over huge delays spent negotiating with different landowner every 200 meters.
I think it makes a difference in perception, because 31% is less than a third. Left-leaning Gen-Z voters essentially form a super-majority in their demographic.
BTW, great example why machine translation still doesn't work for quite different languages. Google Translate outputs the following given the Chinese input:

Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure
I watched this play out in a large university system. Seems to be largely the creeping expectations of faculty, doubly at the most prestigious institutions.

First of all faculty get about zero credit for teaching, it's really an afterthought and does not impact recruitment, career path, grants, or merits (increasing salary). So naturally many faculty push off as much of the teaching, preparing materials, grading, handling of office hours, labs, handling student questions, etc on others.

Grad students are increasingly resistant to being overworked and distracted from their studied and research. So there's been in increase in walkouts, unionizing, and related activities.

So where does an increasing fraction of the faculty support come from? Staff. Staff to help with technical writing, applying for grants, handling recruitments, serving on committees, and myriad of other demands. Not to mention indirect requirements like increasing IT demands, cybersecurity, remote learning, compliance officers, HR, security incident handling, inventory, metrics and reporting, etc. I've seen months of work generated by a single management request like "because of budget increase foo, we want to track the success of the last decade of graduates ..."

The most successful research universities can have research budgets on the order of $1B a year, pretty much independent of the number of undergrads they teach. Teaching is really a secondary concern. Thus undergrads/staff varies widely.
My thought process was, if I’m gonna have to rewrite the app, I may as well use the web dev skills I already have, so that at least the UI work will be in my wheelhouse. Rust is new to me, as is low-level ffmpeg stuff, both of which I’ve had to learn from scratch.

I learned Swift in order to build the Mac app, and I know from that experience that building custom UI controls while learning a new ecosystem slowed me down a lot. I didn’t love the idea of repeating that experience, and where I’m headed there’s gonna be a good bit of custom UI.
> No, from a Libertarian perspective, those 25% chose to live in that state and enter into a free agreement with their neighbors to participate in representative democracy.

Yet more nonsense. They were born there. They never agreed to abide by whatever rules their neighbors choose to impose. Leaving is not zero-cost and no one has the right to force them to choose between acquiescing to others' demands and leaving their home—as if there were even anywhere else they could be expected to go where they won't face the same unreasonable demands.

> But it's a perspective that's totally inconsistent with Ancap philosophy; by this logic the market itself can infringe on my freedom by refusing to cater to niche consumer wishes (which it often refuses to do).

Again, more nonsense. Your rights are not infringed upon by other people not giving you whatever you happen to want. They are infringed upon when other people step in and threaten you with harm (for example loss of property, imprisonment, or capital punishment) when you attempt to provide the things you want for yourself, or through voluntary cooperation with others.

> Do you think your freedom is being abridged when you sign a terms of service agreement?

No, because that is a voluntary arrangement. If I don't agree to the contract we go our separate ways and no one loses anything that already belongs to them. People do not "voluntarily chose to take part in representative democracy"; their participation is compulsory. It's not just "take it or leave it" (which is already getting into contract-of-adhesion territory) but rather "take it or give up your entire life up till now and hope, against all odds, that you can find somewhere to live that doesn't have exactly the same problems". And that applies just as much to companies as to individuals.

> When you argue that communities have no right to set rules or regulations, what you are effectively arguing is that the people who make up that community don't have the right to form a voluntary contract with each other.

More nonsense. The individual people who make up the community have every right to enter into voluntary contracts with each other. They do not, however, have the right to compel anyone to enter into those contacts as a condition of living near them, or to make anyone who doesn't agree to the contract move somewhere else.

The rest of your reply is just more of the same. It's clear you have no idea whatsoever what "Ancap" Libertarianism actually means. You're approaching it from a collectivist mindset which is diametrically opposed to the actual ideology, and confusing voluntary interaction with laws based on force.
