That's an oddly narrow focus! Nintendo appears to make the musical elements of its work a priority and it's good to see it escaping the game console into live performance -- following in the footsteps of both show tunes and movie

Most of the big TLDs have already converted to algo 13 -- .org is still lingering on algo 8, but .com, .net, .edu, .gov have all converted, so a lot of the DNS traffic is using smaller signatures already. Changing the algorithm for the root

Well, my reading is that the corrective action was less "add redundant safeties" and more "have sufficient process controls in place to ensure you don't break the feedback loop during pipeline work". One potential p

Huh. I've owned a few manual-transmission cars over the years and they all disallowed this trick -- pressing the clutch would disengage cruise control just like a tap on the brakes.

The NTSB final report on this accident is here: https://www.ntsb.gov/news/events/Pages/2019-PLD18MR003-BMG.a... Unfortunately the shutdown of go.usa.gov broke a bunch of links from that page, but the NTSB rec

It's more likely that something energetic happened with an onboard system (propulsion or batteries). Could just be leaky valves causing propellant and oxidizer to meet somewhere they shouldn't.. It's had a few propulsion sys

Odd that the article makes no mention of intel's APX extensions (which add more integer registers, 3-operand variants of most 2-operand instructions, and assorted other tweaks).

Main difference (besides scale) is that the booster is cooperating with the chopsticks, navigating to hover at a point between the arms.

In August, they said the rocket was ready to fly .. but they were quite visibly still doing significant work to the catch mechanism on the launch tower.

Not much different from the prior flights. Flight 4 was licensed on June 4th, was originally scheduled to launch on June 5th, and actually launched on the 6th. Flight 3 received its license on March 13th and launched on March 14th. Flight 2

If you transmit, you can be tracked. If you could modify a device to include an explosive, you could also modify it to include an undisclosed transmitter.

I've not seen it used this way before but it is similar enough to the dagger and double-dagger symbols that the intent to use it as a footnote marker is clear.

Intel's menu of page sizes is an artifact of its page table structure. On x86 in 64-bit mode, page table entries are 64 bits each; the lowest level in the hierarchy (L1) is a 4K page containing 512 64-bit of PTEs which in total map 2M
