Your comment is almost completely incomprehensible to me, as someone that doesn't work in the Meta context... I take it being an L5 is a good thing? but just six months ago you wer…

Sounds great in theory but I'd suspect that you'd cave pretty soon after your bank adopts this (or whatever essential site/service you aren't considering is captured here).

I disagree: the device monitors battery fluctuations to 'authenticate' the driver. the fluctuations need to be a specific pattern - delivered either by a device plugged into the 12…

This is a frustrating yet common sort of take. Yes, this is simple, as the article clearly points out. Yes it is obvious in retrospect. But did you do anything with your brilliant …

the inode is the important thing when all is said and done. It is flexible in that it can contain all the metadata needed to present a file to a process. Sometimes that metadata is…

|For example, what combination of shell commands can I use to output the number of files in a directory? Hint: it probably isn't what you think it is, if it's even possible. `find …

I'm immediately reminded of "Master Foo and the Ten Thousand Lines": http://catb.org/~esr/writings/unix-koans/ten-thousand.html Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: “Ther…

| worse than anyone who's on it now. Bold claim about a site that is, in the last year or so, pivoted to explicit and quite public encouragement of Nazi/racist viewpoints.

So... I visited Reddit before coming here and finding the HN thread... Most of the site is rebelling, but I took the time to visit, intending to give them impressions, just to see …

should be able to measure that with the same lasers, I would think.

I had a look at this paper, and in the citations I see two papers from Jonathan Pruitt! For those unfamiliar, Jonathan Pruitt is a _former_ Professor charged with falsifying massiv…

| Namely, the domain experts (navy pilots) I don't think this is accurate - "navy pilots" are domain experts in operation of navy aircraft. What you are maybe getting confused here…

FYI, and nothing personal, but your comment is more or less coming across to me as "whelp, the inflexible delegation has spoken". I go to great lengths to maintain a flexible minds…

Thank you, I'll be sure to swing by. I specifically worked on MM6-8 in detail, would be glad to chat about the good ol' days.

Nice to see it! I had a pretty big hand in making these suckers, worked at New World Computing during that era... I'm thinking I'd better not elaborate on the particulars or give o…

(Hey so I apologize if this has been touched on in the main thread, but I didn't spot anything related so starting a new one). We should consider even further: what about consequen…

| Particularly disgusting A phrase particularly lacking in decency, making you a bad actor on this forum. Especially when you are wrong. It takes an elevated sense of self-importan…

Just out of curiosity, can you explain to me what you mean by 'marketing names' in relation to IMEC? I'm not quite convinced you understand what that organization is, what they do,…

I wasn't being condescending, and I am objectively not 'wrong'. I merely urged you to gather information you may not be familiar with. Particularly IMECs roadmap. I will point out …

Perhaps you are unaware of the angstrom scale process nodes on the semiconductor roadmaps? i.e., IMEC, TSMC and Intel all aggressively pursuing "20A" at the moment with an eye towa…

Interesting take. You have casually dismissed the Goldbach Conjecture (perhaps the deepest centuries old problem in number theory) as 'trite, trivial and uninteresting'... Suggesti…

It is weird hate.

Positive Feedback: I quit like the tight, minimal look. the variation in key heights and the concave number row keys seem like excellent positioning features. Honestly, I've used s…
