For many years there's been a linux router and a DMZ between VDSL router and the internal network here. Nowadays that's even more useful - LLM's are confined to the DMZ, running diskless systems on user accounts (without sudo

Technical founder in the VR/AR space here. Not in a rush so have discounted YC in the past, still may be worth a short chat. Use the "Apply" link on the RFS page?

Great song (albeit sort-of not written by them, fits the band perfectly though). Lucky enough to see NMA live a couple of times pre-lockdown, no option but to settle for the live stream for the 40th anniversary.

Not so black and white, but I still thing the Sex Pistols GSTQ is a great song (also Anti-Nowhere Leagues 's "So F*king What!", much more FTW). Never a fan of the Diana bandwagon either. Yet, likewise to me the Queen always e

How do they charge per advert? If I was paying someone hundreds - or thousands - of dollars, I'd certainly expect some degree of personal service.

Body Rocket: Brighton, UK. Multiple positions, remote mostly ok depending on the position but you'll need to work onsite at times. We're a start-up focused on aerodynamics, and specifically (for now) on cycling. About to move from

Pretty much my first on-site service job: the company I was working for made motion-control systems for animation, controlled by a PDP-11. The customer was an animation studio, so dead in the water without the system working. Problem was it

The LSI-11 and 11/23 jumped to 173000 at startup, so (re)booting them was just hit halt on the front panel and then enter '173000G' in ODT (the built-in octal debugger). If necessary, it would only take a minute or two to typ

Over 6 years, 2x the performance in single-core and 4x (for 2.5x the cores, depending how you count) seems surprisingly low compared to stuff I've read (not experienced yet) with the M1.

Yes, lots of old superstructure was made of wicker/wood/whatever was to hand. There will be a metal frame under it, of course, but wicker is perfectly strong enough (ever been in a hot air balloon? The baskets are usually wicker,

Every year the Pioneer Run goes right past my door, lots of pre-1915 motorised bicycles and motorbikes going from London to Brighton. It's always a riot, and amazing to see these old machines on the road - I've taken many pics ove

One not really unforgotten but definitely little known is Wisley Airfield [0], right beside the A3 heading into London. Came across it one day on a long bicycle trip, while I suddenly found myself in the middle of a mile-long runway. There

That's one trick I've often seen deployed against the older generation (were salesmen more moral in the past?). I vividly remember a salesman getting quite angry because he was trying to slam my mother in exactly this manner, and

It's interesting how often on Amazon Prime I'll add one relatively obscure product to my basket on the promise it'll be delivered tomorrow, then add one more of the same and the delivery goes out for a day (or more). On commo

In the tech world, it also seems to stem from insecurity (I'm sure many here have held their tongue in meetings when someone with little experience talks well above their level of competence in the subject).

Very much agree on not taking Watson's word for it. As for Franklin, it would be nice to think the Nobol committee would have agonised long and hard had she lived long enough to make it an issue for them (given at most 3 people can sha

I'm familiar with both, and have Pi's bit-banging at 8MHz. It's not hard-realtime like a PIC though (where I've bitbanged a resistor D2A hung off a dsPIC33 to 17.734475MHz). It's an improvement over the years, but s

It's not much appreciated, but the Microbit V1 is an nRF51 and the V2 is an nRF52. Download the SDK from Nordic Semi [0], grab a copy of ARM GCC[1] or Segger IDE [2] (free for nRF5x, complete with drag'n'drop firmware upload

Straight-forward example of non-square pixels is the Raspberry Pi 7" LCD display. Viewable area is 155x86 and resolution is 800x480; simple plotting of a circle on it is visibly non-circular because the horizontal and vertical pitch ar

Generally anything low res is hand-designed on a pixel by pixel basis (whether monochrome or limited colours). For fonts the lowest legible is 5x8 (depending of your definition of 'legible', e.g. the alphabet as printed on a seven

As the new kid on the block, I skipped TECO for KED (which I have a soft spot for to this day). Sometime around '85, had to write a VT100 emulator for some newfangled Z80 box just so it could be used it as a terminal for my personal PD
