I would recommend considering GitLab CI as well. I started moving some projects over there a few months back and I've been quite happy with it. The transition from Travis CI was pretty smooth. There are some differences in concepts (cache vs artifacts), but the GitLab CI documentation is pretty good.

Plus you can run it all locally with a couple of docker containers (gitlab-ce/gitlab-ee & gitlab-runner).

I always like to take note of the ICs on new dev hardware I'll be working with.

For one, I may find that something isn't working and the chips may be relevant to that. For two, if I want to re-purpose the kit for something in the future, that list of chips will let me know if I'm going to need to write a driver for my target OS.

You can gather a lot of this info from a running OS, but it's much quicker and more accurate to just look at the chips in my experience.

(Purism did finally send me a return shipping label for the SOM today)

I received my dev kit and immediately broke it.

The SOM connects to the mainboard with 4x 80-pin tiny connectors. If you miss the little warning on the silkscreen and lift from the wrong side, BAM, two broken connectors.

Purism said they would sell me a replacement SOM, but they're not really communicating now.

I'll plug the Librem 13/15. I have the 13 and I'm very happy with it (initially it had a bug in the firmware so my NVMe SSD that I bought separately wasn't bootable, but they fixed it very quickly).

I have a wall clock that syncs from WWVB. It was pretty cheap and uses a single AA battery (which seems to last forever). I never have to update the time.

Can satellite time provide an equivalent or better solution here?

Deutschland 83 is a fantastic show based on these events.

Not the person you asked, but it does seem like there was a drop in popularity over the past 6 months (according to TIOBE):

I also found this to be a decent reference (mostly the videos):

Also, some of the Kitware projects on GitHub.

The generator expression used here isn't necessary:

add_test(NAME plain-run COMMAND $<TARGET_FILE:vector-test>)

You can just use:

add_test(NAME plain-run COMMAND vector-test)

Since the <COMMAND> is an executable target.

It's just pure marketing - create a problem where it doesn't exist, and sell the solution.

Also tag 20 is the newer AEAD method: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc4880bis-04...

gruvbox may work for you (and should have 3 contrast levels)

Personally I'd rather be shot and killed than be stabbed in the face repeatedly with a broken bottle (and potentially live). To each his own, though.

The tech is not identical. Litecoin uses Scrypt and has shorter block times. There may be other differences too.

Exactly my thoughts. And throwaways don't really work well on HN.

I feel like you should add a disclosure about being the creator of Redox.

All people, not just women.

I think I have AWS fatigue. I have a few certifications and a few years of experience working with AWS, but it's getting difficult to even keep track of all the services.

Wow you were not exaggerating on that.

Huh, I remember it being "Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash".

What a bunch of FUD.

The title is crap and the comments point out the obvious solution of a paper wallet and a backup.

Personally I find all of this high-security hardware wallet stuff to mostly be marketing wank. A paper wallet is as safe as your normal wallet, which is usually "good enough".

Even if you're storing a ton of coins, you might be better off with a paper wallet in a safety deposit box, rather than risking issues remembering passwords, etc.

No, I believe it uses a calibration routine to pick the number of iterations nowadays:

https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=blob;...

So it depends on the hardware it is run on, and has a lower limit as well.

Seems like a pretty clickbait title.

It's entirely possible. I know of a certain open-source application that was banned from an entire component of DHS, specifically because the developer is Russian.

> 1) if firmware is stored on a Wifi chip or rather loaded during the boot process?

Typically it's loaded during the boot process. On Linux, see the binary blobs in /usr/lib/firmware or: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/lin...

Source: I did some work with some broadcom (wired) firmware years ago and found it to be pretty unpleasant.

I know I'll get hate for not commenting on the actual content of this article, but...why is this only taking up 1/3rd of my horizontal screen space? Perhaps all that space could be used to show the images alongside the text?

> here’s what we’ll talk about: (with links if you want to jump to a specific section).

Holy smokes, it's got links! Good thing he pointed it out to me since I never could have figured that out by the visual indicators that every web browser adds to links.

> It's difficult to find remote work for a big company; most of them have policies against it.

Strange, but seems to be true.

Reminds me of one of this comment:

> That's unfortunate. I could rock your world with my knowledge of all of those things, regrettably my physical presence is tied to a 50-square-mile chunk of rock that isn't anywhere near your 50-square-mile chunk of rock. With all the things we have in common - language, currency, culture - it's a shame such an outdated concept as 'physical proximity' is a requirement for the position. If only we had a globe-spanning communication network that would obviate the need for such silly self-imposed limitations... :-)

Social awareness and "intelligence" often seem to have an inverse correlation in my experience.

Maybe he thinks the general public believes that the scientific community tends to discriminate against _attractive_ women the most, and he's trying to address that?

I don't know, but it seems like there may be a bit of a disconnect between him and the rest of society.
