Now that's what a backbone looks like.

Had an instance with almost 2TB on disk in 2015, it's probably a lot more by now, if it's still running as-is. Was for analytics/data-warehousing. Though the big table was partitioned so queries were always nice and snappy. T

10-15W for a wifi router with a cable modem, less if it's only wifi, but that's the general ballpark (this is measured with a calibrated smart-plug)

In my experience of almost a decade in infosec now, no, we're not okay. I don't know any other group where so many people are struggling with burnout or who have developed a drinking habit because of their jobs. Might be selection

I hope they'll try to upstream some of those drivers at least. I've written driver code for some parts before and I was better off not even looking at their code and only going by the datasheet. Except when the code worked around

that's interesting, ADI doesn't even list it anymore on their website but it's marked as still active. i guess it's still used in some test&measurement equipment.

they didn't though. zstd has been around even before the main dev joined fb, i distinctly remember it being under the persons personal github name.

Most of the developers have been and still are in Estonia. It would be easier to enforce regulations there technically.

Exagear is originally from the Russian company Eltechs and was targeted to running x86 apps on SBCs like the Raspberry Pi. e.g. they provided Ubuntu images with wine to run windows apps on a Pi. They discontinued the product beginning of 20

It's already running an almost mainline kernel: https://twitter.com/mntmn/status/1259611758827835394 and what is left looks like it would be easy to get upstreamed. I don't know about the u-boot situatio

Yeah, i saw the part now too that everything has to be placed first. This makes it quite... unspectacular. It's really cool if they come up with a good auto-router, but if it's just that I'd still prefer an offline solution,

Quite the contrary, KiCad is constantly improving and getting better with each release. When did your Altium last crash? I bet it wasn't more than a week ago. To quote a colleague: "Altium is used by those who are forced to do so&

That's human powered for sure. Routing isn't the hardest problem, everything is quick once all the components are placed where they belong. E.g. TopoR already does quite a good job at the routing part. But if you only take a schem

I have the most experience with TI silicon, so that's where i can talk most about the datasheets. Some are excellent, many are really good and except for the odd outlier, most are sufficient. Especially certain lines of the newer dc&#x

Because I see it again and again: Please don't put 20 years old dc/dc converters into new things. Neither price nor package are valid resons. There's cheaper and better ones available in similar or the same packages. E.g. LCS

Not all workers have a union. And the current trend in Hungary is to take away more and more workers rights. A law is quite toothless if it's not implemented that way. Example for workers rights: Currently unemployed people get benefit

Yes, the employers can and will try to pay out the overtime only after that time. And some are already trying to do just that. There have been large protests which the state media doesn't even cover at all and honestly, calling this p

That's only half true. Chinese authorities will generally just not let you out of the country again, if the crime isn't severe enough. Also as a foreigner you won't necessarily be notified that there is even a court case agai

There's (in my experience) not a very large overlap between overly promiscuous poly people and other poly people. Not having long-term stable partners is also not mutually exclusive with being polyamorous and many poly people (again, i

There's the HiFive from SiFive though. Which is the Arduino form-factor board with their Freedom E310 core.

I recently built a keyboard with Gateron Clear switches (they have 35cn activation force) for someone who has problems with their wrists too. It made all the difference in her case. There are (AFAIK) a few manufacturers that offer full keyb

Thank you, that gives more context! It is just anecdotal and a few years back, but last time I spoke to students in Prague they didn't bring it up as there being that big issues. Is this something that changed in the last years or has

Can you specify which country or university your experience is based on? In my experience (Austria) there were issues sometimes, but nothing which would even by a long shot could be called "rampant". Here it is more of an issue th

Of course it will be produced for as long as customers want it. But the roadmap makes it also crystal clear where they are going: More DSP cores. We likely won't see anything newer than the Cortex-A15. TI builds what enough customers w

The thing just is that TI didn't exactly retain the people that know the internals of the OMAP series. If you hit any bugs you're on your own unfortunately. (Your milage with the existing documentation may vary also).

Yeelight is just a startup marketing under the Xiaomi brand and is promoted by them, it's not technically Xiaomi. Same as with other branches of products (e.g. the vacuum robots). It also happens that Xiaomi later releases products whi
