In theory: it's not greenwashing, it's so that the humungous amounts of resources they put into developing F1 engines are not completely wasted ... so that some of the tech can "trickle down" to road car engines. Hence, the interest in hybrids. At least they get to learn how to charge a battery really, really fast.

In practice, of course, it's all going to go a bit south when road cars go to 90% EV. There is already a "formula E", of course.

So if nothing moves, you can't make an array that grows?

Ummm, wow. That's really bad.

I love that “grind” is a keyword.

'urllib3' completely saved me once. We had to authenticate with the border proxy using a certificate, then make a request to a web service ... that needed authenticating with a certificate. Urllib3 was the only one that could do it.

I'd like to disagree but can't. Letting a foreign power "sell" internet connected microphones and cameras into "our" homes is totally asking for it. I wonder what the rules are around security cameras and similar?

Not sure I mind the routers so much. By the time the traffic is traversing the router it had better be encrypted. OTOH an army of domestic routers can at the very least be made into a quite astounding botnet and if we were to dig deeper I'm sure the data around which hardware address comes online and when could be made extremely useful.

In short: you're right. It's not protectionist bullshit, it's a wide variety of reasonable concerns. It also might be a horse that's bolted.

I thought drones were banned already. Are they now un-banned?

Don't we have Nuitka for this?

Moving my crap onto an old laptop and some kind of tunnel thing ... tomorrow.

Those are some huge increases.

Right. But ... this would limit you to either extremely small models or extremely large FPGA's, yes? If there's a simple machine learning task that requires a sub microsecond latency I can see the point but otherwise??

Were you not into SDI for broadcast stuff?

The Nvidia NV1 mattered even if it was a misstep.

I'd say Voodoo 3 mattered because it killed 3dfx.

And the Matrox Parhelia mattered for much the same reason.

Ahhh, so is this a chip "more optimised" for connecting GPU's to reality ... or are they skipping the GPU step entirely? Are GPU's only for training now?

Damn, that's really impressive.

Likewise. It took me a while to "get" flutter but now I'm here, I 'aint leaving.

Couldn't you "just" use a honking fast SSD and set it as a swap drive?

"a thousand-day uptime shouldn’t be folklore"

I reboot a lot. Mostly I want to know that should the system need to reboot for whatever reason, that it will all come back up again. I run a very lightly loaded site and I highly doubt anybody notices the minute (or so) loss of service caused by rebooting.

Pretty sure I don't feel bad about this.

This is one of the things that changed when we moved from SATA to NVME. SATA has only a few "in flight" instructions and NVME does 64k.

Begs a question though: are there any NVME "spinny rust" disks?

There was a brief fascination with user mode TCP over DPDK (or similar). What happened with that? Can you get similar performance with QUIC? Does io_uring make it all a moot point?

Quite. I don't see why we need this in a world that already has Kevlar, Dyneema and Carbon.

Thing is, I have stopped expecting Xcode to be any good.

Actual native macOS/iOS development got beaten senseless when the App Store made it clear that "unsustainably low" was the expected price point for third party developers; and that Apple were treating the store more or less as a market research exercise and good ideas absolutely would be stolen.

So it's an internal tool, really. And we're I-guess-lucky that they document it and release it for the proles.

A built in task framework? Good BYE celery, you will not be missed.

Zephyr is not an OS in the conventional sense, it's more a library you link to so the application can "go".

Sorry, waveguide? For light? I thought that’s what fibre was.

And New Zealand

You have to remember it comes with a phenomenal debt load.

Awesome. Now do WiMax.

OMG I hated DCOM so thoroughly.

I'm sure someone in Cloudflare did the math before they went to court and decided their business in Italy was worth saving. If it was, say, the Channel Islands they'd probably just tell them to stuff it.

One nm wavelength? So this could be used as a source for photolithography?
