It should be the opposite, I am a bit confused about LineageOS' statement here. The Quarterly releases represent solid milestones towards the final Android number milestone. GrapheneOS claims that this made their rebasing much more eff

The OP makes an interesting point but it doesn't point out the main problem with high level hardware languages: these kind of languages don't allow you to describe the hardware you want exactly, they only allow you to describe the

I wouldn't call it the "hot blooded Spaniards stereotype", it's more like the general snarkiness and arrogance that emanates from this type of social networks. If you feel the need to escalate your view to Twitter and tu

His Twitter thread with a user called Peter Geist is quite an interesting read: https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1587122439561318400 It reveals that there are things that marcan is glossing over and forcefully

The Portuguese implementation of this is quite poor and widely unused. They started to improve it recently but nothing beats the implementation of BankID in Sweden, it is definitely a killer feature.

I agree that HN goes overboard with Google Reader but I can also share the sentiment. You are right when you say that there are many alternatives to Google Reader, even better ones you could say. I am fond not just of Google Reader but also

That's not how Matrix works. Please don't spread FUD.

I have this experience more with HN rather then Reddit. Granted that the popular subreddits are quite overloaded with "normies" but I still visit lesser know communities that still keep their spirit and a solid user base. HN on th

While Element.io still has some UX points to improve upon, I wish people would be a bit more honest about the state of Matrix clients and less fatalist. There are other alternative Matrix clients that implement an experience closer to Whats

I have been running my own Matrix instance with federation on my 20 dollar/month Linode VPS for 5 years already. I use between some friends and family and I'm also connected to massive channels like the official "Element Andr

Which file are you talking about? The homeserver.yaml? Mine only has around 100 lines without comments.

If you are going to post that specific email, then you should also post the mail in which Matthew Hodgson from Matrix addresses and clarifies some of the concerns there: - https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tool

I don't feel negative towards Prosody, Prosody is an awesome project. My criticism is about XMPP in general and its ecosystem. I stopped my XMPP server a few years ago, Dino was still in its infancy. It's good to see that the clie

XMPP is featherweight compared to Matrix because it does less things than Matrix. Having a gigantic group chat with hundreads of people, with encryption, history and media synchronized between everyone without relying on a centralized serve

That statement doesn't reflect the sad state of XMPP clients available nowadays. I used to run my own XMPP server for years before moving on to Matrix and the reality was that the only good client was Conversations for Android. There w

Agreed. It took me a while to realize that this was just about compiling Linux drivers for a network card connected through PCIe.

That's not how licensing Arm technology works.

It's sad to see how far the HN community has fallen, to the point in which people don't seem to understand how computers work anymore. No, this is not a brand new CPU ISA without custom instructions, it's Arm based. And yes,

I know very well who marcan is and I also have quite some experience in this area. I know how challenging these kind of things are and I just didn't expand on my argument because it is a very ambitious project.

If you are just planning to hack something to show some basic and buggy 2D rendering, 5 years might be realistic.

It has been longer than that and 3D support is still a bit shaky. And this is based on known hardware.

Btw, I hate twitter for this. Why isn't someone as technical as Marcan posting this on a blog? The world went mad.

Keep in mind that something as fundamental as the GPU driver wouldn't be available even they managed to get Linux up and running. And the M1 GPU is Apple's full custom GPU. Even if someone tried to reverse engineer a driver, it wo

That's because we might be just seeing the low-end version of the M1 and we might see the high-end version of these chips next year or so. :)

Thank goodness the title mentions it is Softbank backed, otherwise I would have missed some good Softbank bashing.

This is a very well formulated question, well asked. People are already doing every step you mentioned but there are three problems: - Processors nowadays are so advanced and complex that you can't simply approach them as if it was one

Those are some very empty counter arguments but I will try to answer them anyway. EDA tools are expensive, yes. But you are not just paying for the tools, you are paying for all the engineering support being those tools. Bugs and problems h

I don't think that is the point of the article. Even a state machine that is very well written can be wrong if it's fed with the wrong input. And this is the core of the problem with hardware development. You want to make sure tha

As a hardware designer (well, mostly a hardware verification engineer), I feel that this kind of comment is a pure misconception from software people that gets echoed time after time in HN. I generally see a lot of more effort and good qual
