    The code formatting is so badly broken now. It simply cannot have been tested. i just can't believe they want it to work like that. i also really hate that copy and pasting into a …

    If you are taking an NFC fob out with you just take a spare key. It doesn't even need power.

    OK, yes there's often correlation but that's it. A longer pipeline doesn't affect max circuit frequency. The other sibling comment regarding distance isn't true. regardless of how …

    How is pipeline length related to max frequency?

    > let's assume it's accurate. This article tries to understand where that number comes from (and fails to do so): https://alecmuffett.com/article/15902

    I don't see why latency matters here.

    Doesn't an icecast server already do what broadcast-server does? You post an audio stream to it and it relays that to clients. What am I missing?

    In terms of GDPR/privacy, is there any issue when posting private data to a 3rd-party server (i.e. webhooks) vs having that 3rd-party query your server? Or can you just say that on…

    Strava has an API like that but combines it with an insanely low daily rate-limit which makes retrieving the changed data difficult for anything other than personal apps. But that'…

    Thanks so much for the tip. I looked at it but it's all folded on the mobile view and I totally missed it. However, the beluga xl article holds no information regarding this that I…

    There are also now 6 Beluga XLs with approx 30% larger cargo hold than original Beluga. I'm curious if Airbus ever lease them out to others for transporting big things other than w…

    Looks like I did misunderstand, I thought they actually meant the silicon technology itself which is now available to the others and they all have designs coming using it.

    That would make sense in the context of Intel but anyone with money has access to TSMC 5nm (in 2021-2022). Do I misunderstand?

    Do these community supported SDK/APIs ever work? In my experience (Strava and Spotify APIs) it's an excuse for the company to release a load of half-baked crap and then wash their …

    Good news: in stock including US shipping at https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w for less than $25. Probably cheaper from US resellers but I'll leave that to y…

    Sure, but that's normally the sort of adverting that goes along with a big advertising spend. I had imagined almost all their advertising exposure is from giving product away for p…

    i agree it can be done but it's a fragile balancing act. What I don't agree with is that Rust provides anything particularly special allowing you to do this.

    "low-latency processing of IO input" may well be talking about hard realtime stuff, for which threads/async on a single core doesn't help you.

    They asked for dual core. The C3 is single core. > ESP32-C3 is a single-core, 32-bit, RISC-V-based MCU with 400KB of SRAM, which is capable of running at 160MHz https://www.espress…

    This is for a supercomputer, right? Do AMD have something for Intel to compete against here?

    The "Prime" set they reference in the article looks awesome but it's over £300! A motor alone seems to be about £50.For schools maybe this is reasonable, not so much for individual…

    And the price would be even higher.
