FPGA based application will always need to justify the additional cost for slightly worse performance
Do mean FPGA has slightly worse performance? Care to elaborate?
kernel's performance is pretty low
Can you elaborate on this? How is it "low"
If we're giving anecdotes, I'll dish out some too. Maybe you're getting at something - communities looking out for their kind. It might be seen as good or bad depending on the situation. I've seen academic research labs that are heavy on certain ethnicities. I've seen heavy tilt of Chinese students with a Chinese PI, similarly for Iranian, Turkish. Heck, I've seen silicon valley teams that are Indian heavy, Turkish heavy, Filipino heavy.
What I'm curious to understand is how Iran and Iraq came to be pronounced differently in this guide (or otherwise), when they are both spelt almost the same way. The social phenomenon explanation, while I get it, seems too broad.
May be, but Iran is pronounced correctly in the guide (EE-RAHN, in section 'The Country'). Why mess up Iraq then. Strange.
Communities and societies should absolutely work together and cooperate for the benefit of everyone
I'm interested in exploring how/why or if at all, the zealous pursuit of one's individual rights have made us lose sight of working together for the benefit of everyone.
Do you mind expanding on that a bit, such as what are the poorly sourced claims used as building blocks? When you talk about recreating the justice part, do you mean the discussion circles back to an already well-explored question?
I agree with you. I don't think there is a silver bullet - individual or collective.
Humility and generosity is key
bingo
The American cult of the individual denies not just community but the very idea of society. No one owes anything to anyone.
This crisis has really made me ponder the extent to which individualism has taken its toll on the American society. Really, large parts of the country don't seem to care about the collective good and are just turning a blind eye toward their fellow citizens in this moment of crisis.
Trying to ELI5 this to myself - USPS has to fund their pensions and is forced to keep money aside for it. They are unable to make price increases to account for all this extra money that they have to keep aside since they are a public service. Their competitors UPS, FedEx are not being held to the same standard, and so USPS is losing out? And this makes a convenient excuse to show USPS as a failed org?
That JIO has designed and developed a complete 5G solution from scratch
Is that really true, or just some marketing hogwash? If true, then why is Jio not building a Huawei and helping install 5G all over the world? From what I know, very few companies have the technology to build 5G infrastructure.
Will there be some nuance in changing said problematic terms, or will this wave of corrections swallow everything in its way. imo, there are some obvious problems with 'whitelist-blacklist'. But 'master' tends to be on the harmless side on the spectrum of problematic terms? I'm open to changing my views, tbh.
This reminds me that capitalism will probably be just fine once people are reminded (yet again) about what risk is
Can you elaborate on this? What is the risk, and what do people need to be reminded of?
how does Git figure out when you've renamed a file. If you don't grok it, don't list it.
How does git figure it out?
story time?
Zoom lets you use your speakers while Meet requires everyone to use a headset
Really? Is that restriction on desktop or mobile? I've been using speaker mode on meet(mobile) for a while now. Or is it implicitly imposed by you due to lack of noise cancelling features?
Okay, is just me or does anybody else reduce the screen magnification by 10-20% when companies "refresh" their UIs?
Not in the context of enabling trusted binaries being used for updates, but to your original point about reverse engineering unencrypted firmware
Partially because they call their firmware upgrade process "secure Device Firmware Update (DFU) functionality" (lifted from their documentation). Obviously, an engineer needs to go see the source to see what is actually happening under the hood.
Nordic's off-the-shelf firmware upgrade process has signed image verification only. The image itself sent over BLE is not encrypted. So anyone using that right off the bat is in for a nice surprise.
That is so interesting! It has also found its way into the vocabulary of regional Indian languages, via the Portuguese[0]. Pronounced "baak", it's a common word to denote school benches.

field application engineer (usually a customer facing engineer from semiconductor companies)
I was stuck debugging a chip for a day until I finally decided to write to the FAE. I sit down, write my problem in the simplest possible language, list all the tricks I tried and asked for a solution. Then I'm reading my email to make sure everything is in order and voila - one last thing to try. and that step worked.
Not my point though. Use case for over the air update is when one has no access to the device or its debug interfaces. So, the implementation must provide for a way to remotely handle entering programming mode, etc. IMO, the disclaimer section should be a part of the implementation.
for switching BOOT0, reset etc?
Cool project! If I need physical access to the board, why would I not program it with a physical interface
side note - thanks for bringing up IQ2. I love the debate format!
absolutely the winner out of all the fancy yogurts out there(european style, icelandic style, australian style).
I hope that all these toilets being built are actually being used, serviced and maintained by the people of the community. I have seen TV reports where these toilets were being built to achieve targets and end up being either filthy because no one maintained them, or used as storage(?). This, along with a massive awareness drive(the govt has some ads running on tv) to push people towards using these toilets. Many challenges ahead, and I can only hope for the best for the motherland.
Does drive home the point that making consumer products is really hard? I mean their Surface, phone business seems down but B2B(Azure) is thriving[0]. Comparing that to Apple's business wouldn't be all that fair?
