Github won't let you do a code search in a forked repository. Clone & grep is literally the only option!

Facebook, Uber, and Wells Fargo are playing "I'm sorry, we're trying to be better now" ads on TV. During one playoff game they all played in the same ad segment! Is this the first big wave of apology ads? I can't recall ever seeing ads like these before.

That only deletes it from your account. The person who received it still has their copy.

My CenturyLink provided gateway gobbles up 1.1.1.1 as well, thankfully 1.0.0.1 works.

I like this about perforce too. Another thing I like is that I can easily substitute subdirectories with other ones, or mask out directories I don't need. I can swap in the new code for a single module into a legacy version with a one line config change.

I also get the ability to use the depo explorer to poke around at absolutely everything that folks are working on. The search function in gitlab is basically a joke compared to this.

Unfortunately for perforce, git/gitlab seems better in basically every other way. It took me 2 years to have anything nice to say about perforce, my regular development flows we're just that painful.

Any website with a rich text editor would use it.

I've been getting a lot of "This is the 'penny stock' of bitcoin!" ads.

A good rule of thumb is that if you think you've discovered a loophole that would allow insider trading, and it only took you a few moments of thinking, the SEC thought of it already.

Also the complete guide is ironically only 70% complete.

5 is do-able by an undergrad, though the first time you encounter the concept it can be difficult to grapple how you would implement it.

I believe the spec says arguments can be deleted in any order, so it always chooses "current directory” first, which fails, failing the whole command

You're right that we don't use Spark as our data engine, but we also don't use hyper yet either (well, we do in beta[0] :). Hyper is replacing our existing data engine (conveniently named "Data Engine" [1])

I think they confused Coffeelake with the new Skylakes

I happened to do something like this in my CPU design class too. In my case I knew that writing a simulator of our design in C would be trivial compared to actually making the CPU itself + it could be used to test code much more easily (we had to write a GCD routine to "prove" it works).

You're right that it helps a LOT when it comes to implementing the actual hardware.

(I also put it through Vivado HLS, but I wasn't able to sneak that past the professor, rats! :)

I wish I had known about verilator back then, I could have compiled the verilog into c++ and ran my simulator test suite against it!

I think "Security" in this context would roughly mean "able to run code from >1 user as securely (or more) than if they were running on separate VMs". Which AFAICT docker & linux cannot provide, but something like triton can.

Off topic: I really miss Jolt :( and I love that Dobb kept using their name post-bankruptcy

The Phoenix team was waiting for Elixir 1.5 to release the new version of the framework (or at least one of the devs said as much in a talk I watched a while ago).

Those two statements are basically equivalent when it comes to mining. cost/hash/second is the metric you optimize for. AMD cards can do the integer operations required with less power (and faster!)

Was about to respond with the same, 2013. This could have been before the US gov ruled one way or another about some specific rules for bitcoin.

The website still says "down for unscheduled maintenance"

There is an all out campaign to remove flash from everything possible. Soon it will be gone from every major browser and phone. That's exactly what this is in response to.

Personally I just want to ensure there's a way for me to go back and look at all the work I did in high school. It's already a pain to figure out how to run my old SWF files, and soon it's going to be nearly impossible.

Maybe I should just snapshot a VM with everything set up correctly?

I don't know much about it, but it's briefly described here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-... (ctrl-f offload)

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/toe suggests it's done mostly in closed-source firmware.

Windows update

If you read the link you'll see they've fixed it with a microcode update.

Recently they've been diving head first into public & especially private clouds. They do a lot in the analytics services areas. And of course - huge enterprise support contracts.

It says it costs "2,000 above tuition, fees, room and board, and other expenses to attend Harvard." so I have no idea what you're on about.

RE: double counting FMA. I don't think it's that silly.

If you didn't count that operation as two different floating point operations you suddenly lose the ability to compare FMA chips to non-FMA chips. It's much simpler ​to just count it as two.

I don't think ""bare metal"" means what you think it means.

I was in an uber to one of Microsoft's collegiate CTF's, and when my Uber driver realized that means I knew (the very basics of) computer security he begged me to hack Uber and get all the Seattle driver's emails so he could ask them to strike.

He also tried to sell me on his cult. And told me to defend my servers all I needed was a fractal firewall that used the number Pi somewhere because if you use a number with (presumably) no pattern in it no one could ever touch you.

I gave him 5 stars

I report spam & fake accounts all the time and get responses back before the next day.
