Is there really a need? Most serial protocols can really be considered 'open'. For low bandwidth there is RS232/UART/JTAG. Then there is I²C/SPI for networked. I²C ranges from 100kbit/s to 2.3Mbit/s. And SPI goes to…
You can put the other people in the VR experience too. Google at IO/2016 showed some experiment with schools using cardboard where they raytraced where each student in a classroom was looking at.…
That is just how chip manufacturing works. In theory you make 1 model of chip. You manufacture them. You test them. What clock speeds are they stable at. Are any of the cores faulty. Many (probably most) will have…
That might be fine for a carton of eggs or milk but most things now days have heaps of ingredients in them. The problem with this is you have to know enough to be able to make that determination. How long does a…
> applications tend to "borrow" the OS's, and no OS I know of uses a design taken directly from NIST. Windows has support for it (although it's up to applications to choose to use it or not). If it's part of a standard…
It isn't going to be able to record without a battery...
Moore's law only states that the number of transistors doubles for a specific size of silicon every 1.5 years. When it does end, we will move onto other forms of computing, memristor based, graphene, photonic/optical,…
I put mine facedown at night to stop the annoying blinking light. They are curved to prevent scratching.
Wouldn't rm as part of GNU binutils, be more likely written in Emacs?
Have a look at MusicBrainz Picard. They have a massive community database with audio fingerprinting. It's not %100 though so you do have to do a quick verification that it got the right one (some tracks can end up on…
Charging for encryption now days is horrible. We should be encouraging devs to put encryption everywhere. It should be the default. Personally I don't like it when projects mix money with opensource.
> If you don't trust the hardware, then you've already lost, no matter what algorithmic construction you are using. How are you going to trust your random number generator if 1 + 1 = 2 except when it equals NSA? You can…
Except if /dev/urandom is using a hardware based random number generator, then you have to trust that the hardware hasn't received some NSA alterations at some point during the design. The NSA did design a random number…
Which is exactly when websites want users confused. I remember Real Player had a bunch of 'opt-in' email options, they where in a scroll box. By default the visible ones where unticked, but if you scrolled down there…
'Quantum communications' isn't a real thing outside of scifi (and generally the crappier kind). It's sometimes (inaccurately) used to describe quantum entanglement (or quantum encryption) but it doesn't actually allow…
It has been possible to produce dupes of keys for ages now the old fashioned way. 'Printable' keys is just adding novelty. More of a concern is bump keys and the fact that Lockwood dominate the industry when they can be…
I would hardly describe requiring people to spam as cool. More like fucking annoying. Also you have no idea what the content will be until you have propagated the spam, it could just be penis pills.
That one probably took a lot longer as it was a complete rewrite to deal with the core profile. 4.3->4.4 would only have to add the 4.4 stuff in. 4.4 doesn't seem to be a major change. Only adding some buffer stuff,…
Cygwins not bad if you just want a shell. It does Xorg too, but it's not fantastic. The main problem is not all programs will work on it (no tmux, but screen is ok), or be in the repos (I actually made an attempt to get…
I really, really hate those 'tile' layouts. And I don't think they are appropriate for this kind of site. You are given absolutely no idea what order stuff is presented in. Even if they are in some kind of order the…
I'm running into issues. After a while it starts tearing holes in the sphere. Also the performance seems to die off. But I don't know much about 3D sculpting so maybe I'm abusing it. Running on Chrome under Arch.
I think even most of the people who did put them back on the right are probably using them on the left now. At the time it did seem a bit arbitrary and I thought it was an attempt to be more 'mac like'. However looking…
I don't see why number 2 can't be done on any other distro. Nothing is stopping you from compiling your own kernel on any of them. Of coarse its rare that people would bother. 3 is also a feature of Arch. The problem is…
Use the right license for the job. If I was making a stand alone program, then it would probably be GPL or AGPL (for anything that could provide a service over the web). However I would probably avoid it if I could see…
From my limited understanding, the slides are unlikely to be 'incorrect' as Snowden worked there so he would know what was actually going on. It's possible Snowden is making the whole thing up but the government haven't…
