Ask Silicon Labs, NXP, STMicrolectronics, Dialog Semiconductor, ADI, Infineon, ON Semi, Renesas, TI, ... they all license Arm IP.

Wow, this is tectonic. I cannot wait to see how this redraws the competition map. There are dozens of major embedded semi vendors that license Arm IP. Nvidia could eradicate them t…

npm's dependency on 2.7 enrages me.

Isn't 2.7 part of Catalina 10.15.6?

When did they stop? I just bought a new MacbookPro yesterday and there was nothing on it like that. Same for the iWatch I bought last year, and the iPhone 6 two years ago. Or is th…

Oooh I can't wait: my first test for any Apple //e emulator is to see if it can run the Ultima IV and Wizardry I disk images that are floating around out there. If it can't, its a …

"was already there 15 years ago." MSOffice ca. 1992 for Win3.111 was the high watermark. Been downhill ever since because basic features have been breaking (Excel 2016 sometimes fo…

What, do you have a 30MB drive or something? Did you ban all applications over 1MB?

The author actually addresses this. Where do you disagree with his differentiation? "At lower levels, convolutional nets will not perform cross correlation, because we know that th…

Y'all are so uncreative. How about `float bool` or `fbool`. Or `fbit`... Or what about an `fowen`? (floating oh + one) ;-)

> 1) Litter needs scooping every day. Blows my mind how many people let it go for days and days and then complain. Literally sub-20-seconds every morning to scoop into a small offi…

Can't believe Folex carpet cleaner / stain remover isn't in there. Works great for dog or cat vomit on cloth surfaces.

Is /proc as portable as `ps`?

That is a highly appropriate citation. I'm not sure what I'm seeing when I see a deepfake.

When did OG go from "old guard," to "original gangster"?

USB is a differential signal, not a digital one (like a GPIO square wave), and once you lose the training the connection is lost: it's basically a replug, but you can't do it too q…

The easiest way to do this is to skip KVM because the latency and disconnect is awful, and the tangle of wires is un unnecessary mess. Instead, use microsoft remote desktop or VNC.…

> Are all the uber-expensive office chairs just snake oil? Or have I just been lucky? Depends on your physiology. I've been sitting at a computer desk for close to 40 years. In my …

THANK YOU! I had no idea what was going on, or how to describe it. I wouldn't have thought of using the word "shaking". There was a time when every feature you needed was visible (…

On the plus side, we don't really know what the limits of bad UX/UI patterns are until we cross that line. No one can deny that UX/UI patterns are in the Cambrian Explosion phase (…

I think this is a bad idea because remapping keys has significant consequences with compatibility as you develop across more platforms. A good vi user is trying to build universal …

Yep. I wrote a netlist analyzer in Perl that provides statistics... in 1997. It is still part of a regression suite because it is very small, very fast and callable through the com…

I'm a ~50somethingish white male experiencing bone loss (via DEXA scan). My two doctors (general and specialist) both said: let's try OTC vitamin D, even though it probably won't d…

The road to hell... ...is paved with (IMHO) an irrational support for billionaires getting richer at the expense of the exploitation of the commoner.

I think you have it backwards: I blame the billion dollar companies for being heartless. The government works to prevent exploitation of the poor.
