I was wondering if it'd be possible to go further, and actually use it as a fully fledged keyboard, but with your choice of switches and mechanical layout... and turns out that somebody has been doing that already! basically reverse-en

You mean the cost of EDA software directly (paying Synopsys/Cadence for the software used to design, verify, and synthesize your own chips)? Or the actual R&D cost to design the chip itself? Or paying for prepackaged IP blocks (maj

Sooo they're finally launching a Spanner contender? I'm itching to read more details into what this actually is under the marketing blab.

Cursor has been an enabler for unfamiliar corners of development. Mind you, it's not a foolproof tool that writes correct code on the first try or anything close to that. I've been in compilers, storage, and data backends for 15is

There's also yotoplay.com, although that one does seem to require wi-fi and cloud thingies.

Since the read part is handled by another chip (feeding off of USB power, therefore not terribly power constrained), you could present as a MTP device, or even mass storage, while generating the file structure on the fly. Maybe TIFFs are si

And yet they couldn't agree with Apple on a protocol that could be implemented by both. Imagine how much better tracking you'd get with tags that could be picked up by either Android or iPhones. Especially in the _third world_ whe

A very simple optimization for those complaining about having to fetch a large file every time you need a little datapoint: if they promised the file was append-only, and used HTTP gzip/brotli/whatever compression (as opposed to s

There's Burner ( https://burnerapp.com ) and I'm sure there are at least a handful others around.

Then you should probably check out Hoffmann's "ultimate french press technique" https://youtu.be/st571DYYTR8 IMO it produces the best coffee I've ever been able to make in a french press.

Probably a pretty bad test of the _actual_ speed of grep. A more realistic test would have printable characters and frequent newlines. I wouldn't be surprised if all those bytes were just taking a fast-path shortcut somewhere.

ISO 4210 comes to mind. There's also a handful of ASTM standards, F2043 for categories based on intended usage, and others specifying the testing requirements for frames etc. Not sure if legally required, but if my memory doesn't

Cool trip through digital audio broadcast, but I'm left bit puzzled by the last bit about cable vs PON networks. How are coax networks fundamentally better than PON fiber networks? Sure, in a lot of places they have the very tangible b

I wonder if this change will at least mean the end of those autogenerated TikTok/Instagram videos of Minecraft playthroughs with TTS-narrated content lifted from /r/amitheasshole or whatever.

Good luck even getting a google3-based Hello World to compile. I don't remember the exact numbers, but just #including the most basic libs resulted in a O(100M) binary. And anything more complex than that would probably have dependenci

Nice little game for curious people. Hard mode: picking the alternatives among geographically-close countries, or countries with similar-looking flags.

Agreed that FSD is crap and shouldn't be available to the public. Maybe it's okay to be tested out in the public by professional drivers, paid to do that, and monitored for attention/alertness, much like Waymo did for oh-so-l
