It's not about that. Paul Le Roux never claimed to be the creator of TrueCrypt, what we have are clues that connect him to working on E4M, then working on SecurStar, porting encryption algorithms from SecurStar to E4M and getting fired

I don't agree with your view. The author briefly mentioned the relation E4M-Truecrypt only 2 times as it found some kind of evidence or relation between those two projects. And it is valid as the involvement of Le Roux in the Somalia w

What do you mean? It was explained on part 2 that the code for TrueCrypt was built on top of E4M. "I asked him what he meant, and Hafner told me that in the middle of the development work for DriveCrypt, he discovered that Le Roux was

The WhisperPush already existent in CM12 also required the Google Play services to work. So until you installed Gapps, you had no way of using it. Nothing changed really, except that we have one less bloat in the CM rom.

A simple breakout board with routings hand made are hardly considered a device.

There you go: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore An open-source replacement of Google services. You can use Signal with this.

Just a note before anything else: it's not a "manufacturing process". Nobody is laying out the transistor by hand, it's a fabrication process. (I apologize for nitpicking in the wording, but it's important) Apple do

I didn't say that the fabrication process doesn't influence the characteristics of the final chip, I was stating that the design itself takes the bigger role of the chip's optimization and that from the end user's point

It shouldn't have any implications for the customer, performance/power consumption/reliability are much more defined during the design phase than the fabrication phase. The end user shouldn't worry, or even think, in wha

I have been using OSM on Android for a while (through OSMAnd) and I disagree with you. OSM has the most complete and updated maps I have ever seen compared to Google Maps and Nokia HERE. And it has much more POI registered as well. My only

Verilog and VHDL already simplify hardware design a lot. They seem to have a great learning curve due to the nature of hardware design. Most people gain a lot of confidence in software development and try to design hardware like they would

It's not meant to replace the open source perspective of Arduino, it's meant to complement it. It's a good thing, not a bad one.

There is a bug in the latest GPG version that makes it unable to detect smartcards.

Maybe because those updates might break some other custom packages or custom configurations that you might have? Maybe because the result might be a bit unpredictable and it's better to be safe than sorry? Computers by nature were neve

Be careful, that's a huge fallacy. Just because you can notice the etymology that doesn't make you a prodigy at a language. Everybody can do that, the tricky stuff is in actually learning the language.

This is true. I'm Portuguese and I can read full texts (even books) and I never had a course, or even a lesson, of Spanish. I can understand Italian at some degree as well, due to the same reason.

"Another property is that there is no synthesizable subset in Cx. As far as I know, this is very rare in languages for hardware design, but the language is entirely synthesizable. You never have to think about synthesis versus simulati

What I really wanted was a better explanation of Cx's advantages other than "The syntax is similar to C". And I'm not sure if you fully understand the difference between a programming language and a hardware description

I fail to understand what kind of advantage this language brings to the table compared to the existing solutions. You touched the subject of the awkward syntax of VHDL. But what about the syntax of Verilog? The syntax seems to be very simil
