Not exactly related to Ruby on Rails, but why doesn’t there exist a way to run a Python TKinter app in the browser using WASM? I have a medium sized dependency-free TKinter program…

In a society where the abuse of human labour was factored into the cost of the product, the 8-inch fab line would have been shut down, since the cost of the 8-inch wafers would now…

We have a replacement for CUDA, it is called C++17 parallel algorithms. It has vendor support for running on the GPU by Intel, AMD and NVIDIA and will also run on all your cores on…

Having looked briefly at the code I still think C++17 parallel algorithms are more ergonomic compared to OpenMP: https://rocm.blogs.amd.com/software-tools-optimization/hipst...

GPGPU programming seems to be in a really good spot with the widespread adoption of C++17 parallel algorithms by GPU vendors. Now, I can just program against this API using standar…

Which begs the question, if attractiveness is such a big predictor of success, why hasn’t everyone evolved to become very attractive? The evolutionary pressure for increased attrac…

That was why OP suggested to have 2 motors on each joint, going in opposite direction. The problem with this is that you now have twice the amount of motors.

Just use bsdtar, which will convert a tar archive to cpio: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/581014 I have used it to convert docker images to Linux bootable initramfs archives for …

If you are already using gRPC in your codebase, then you can define your enums with Protobuf, which does much of the same as the tool shown in this article.

Looks like great changes overall. Sadly they haven’t added columns to Dolphin, which is my only complaint from switching to KDE from macOS.

You can get an S2 mini dev board for a $1 including shipping[1, 2] [1]: https://imgur.com/HUt2qLY [2]: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804697715980.html ?

Not possible, unless you want to do it using an emulator and external memory. The lowest you can go for Linux is probably an ESP32: https://web.archive.org/web/20230515075935/http:…

Well, if I found an unpatchable zero-click RCE exploit on an iPhone, then that would have a major effect on the stockprice when the news is announced. It definitely seems like it w…

Yeah, but regular package binaries get nuked pretty quickly to make space for new ones, especially on mirrors.

Sure, but how useful is that when you can’t install any packages, since the package repositories only host packages for supported versions. When a distro goes EOL, the package repo…

Could someone enlighten me on how one goes about testing whether a particular crypto implementation is vulnerable to side-channel attacks? In high school I implemented a basic ECDH…

Just because a compiler cannot prove whether or not a given set of C/C++ is safe, doesn’t mean that an expert in the language can’t write safe C++ and prove that it is actually saf…

Why not just tax stock buybacks the same or higher than regular profits? This would force companies to either increase R&D/CAPEX spending or lower prices.

Will C++17 parallel algorithms be supported? https://on-demand.gputechconf.com/supercomputing/2019/pdf/sc... Edit: Nevermind, I think I have misunderstood the purpose of this proje…

I know, but the fact that people can’t even tolerate the inconvenience of an EV gives little hope for public transport, car sharing, bicycles etc.

Yeah, people here don’t seem to realize that burning fossil fuels is the primary driver(~90% of CO2 emission) of global warming: https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/causes-…

What prevents Apple from just integrating MacFUSE(or a reimplementation) into the their kernel, and then shipping it with the next release?

I have done this, but for some reason Android SDK has to be weird, so you have to download the SDK seperately and then create a properties file in to root of the project with the p…
