Hi kens, Thanks so much for the information. I am familair with the voting logic (I've worked on systems that implemented the same thing, odd-number of processor cores and the majority wins). One question, were any…
Sadly, I think Craig might have done MORE for society by simply improving Craig's List and removing/reducing the amount of spam and junk posts it allows. I can't claim the changes would be easy to implement, but if they…
Feel exactly the same way. All of the public money spent on going to the moon is really just a way to funnel $$ to a few sub-contractors the actual science value of going BACK to the moon is pretty low. It takes such a…
1000% agree. Sadly, this view is considered antiquated and anti-technology by a younger generation of people who think what we see in sci-fi shows should be reality (good or bad). And if you don't get that vision then…
I used Sailfish OS and so did several of my family members for many years. The "vanilla" Linux OS aspect (besides using rpm) makes it trivial to set up things like dnsmasq-adblocking, firewall rules, etc. Unfortunately,…
Frankly, the "need" for custom silicon seems self-imposed, with the idea of appearing to be a technology company first rather than a car / vehicle company. Cruise automation was also for years working on custom silicon,…
This.
Wow, super hard disagree, comment here sounds like the typical arrogance hardware engineers face from people in software who've never really done the job or have some superficial experiences. I won't blindly state…
If you look at modern FPGAs they have prodigous amounts of on-chip memories (BRAMs and URAM in Xilinx speak). You can buy Xilinx FPGAs on PCIe cards that could easily handle THOUSANDS of RISC-V cores. Almost all FPGA…
If you're open to technical feedback your last comment, I've worked on these kinds of systems, have architected and built things even far "weirder" and these products have shipped and out in the real world, in silicon,…
Author: Thanks for taking the time to reply. I read the write-up with a LOT of interest, this is really amazing work, there's not a lot of good options for auto-routing with open-source PCB tools (i.e. KiCad). I have…
I understand why someone might this this is a pay issue, but it's goes beyond that. Culturually, doing something "well"(quality oriented, mindful of end-users) vs. "got it done" (transaction, pragmatic way of looking at…
Hi DannyW, I think it's super cool that you work at Canva and are taking the time to interact with your customer base. Maybe this isn't the right venue (I didn't see an e-mail address in your profile so I'm just asking…
This is really great work, but can you comment on whether or not any Google-based "safebrowsing", etc is still enabled in the code base? Have you thought about merging your efforts with ungoogled-chromium (Android)?…
As a happy user of many KDE based programs (konsole, kate, dolphin, etc) it's great to see another KDE piece evangelized. But can someone state conclusively if Bluetooth-base connectivty in KDE Connect actually works in…
Are you saying that Plasma Mobile runs on any device that is supported by libhybris? I was asking about Plasma Mobile ( https://plasma-mobile.org/get/ ) that the parent mentioned switching to and I wasn't aware that…
The Sailfish guys are actually the creators of libhybris. If you run SailfishOS you have to first have Android flashed onto the phone. They use the same kernel, camera drivers, GPU drivers, etc as the original OEM…
I am not saying the gestures in Android and iOS (app switching, etc) are actually the value add, but in fact things like toggles for options, or a "=" where the options are available to turn on/off. Sailfish forces…
Do you use Plasma on a phone or tablet? If phone, can you say which hardware platform and how "well" it works as an actual phone, making calls, texting, etc?
I've used it for several years and the feedback from a user point of view is not positive. My sample size includes me and several members of my family who used Sony Xperia devices running SailfishOS for several years.…
Wow, this comment sounds like it's written by someone who's never interacted with "musicians" or thinks a musician is a person who goes on stage and plays the same song over and over. And further thinks that engineering…
Anyone who wants a genuinely detailed treatment of this subject should read Allan McDonald's book "True, Lies O-rings" *. I happened to have finished this a few weeks ago and it goes on my list of all "engineers should…
WordPerfect really was an outstanding word processor. Reveal codes (like many others here have pointed out) made "debuging" formatting issues relatively painless as was the "make it fit to a certain layout or size"…
Hi Andreas, First, thanks for this project and making your self accessible! Will "plug-in" or "add-on" support be a first-party concept in Ladybird? I ask that because in years past a few other browsers (Konqueror,…
This whole thread got me to go back and see what else is out there and I remembered there's another (potentially) saner choice: Fossil : https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki I haven't used it myself…
