I'm not at all familiar with the Xbox One, but this is a feature that's generally available if you're designing "closed" hardware like a console. Most SoC these days have some sort…

Your chances of running into trouble are pretty close to zero unless you're wearing a 51st State t-shirt or something. I work with a a decent number of Americans who either moved h…

There's a pretty stark contrast between an MLB player making $50M per year and a bobsledder who's promised $100K 20 years after reaching the pinnacle of their sport. Given the tota…

I'm not an expert here, but I this is pretty unlikely at this point. Google has been working on Fuschia for a decade, and far as I can tell, the only place it was ever deployed was…

Yeah, this immediately made me think of DAF. My wife is a speech pathologist and hooked me up to a DAF machine for some research, and the effect was totally shocking to me as a lay…

I think you're misunderstanding their point. Your API is constrained by the actual TCP protocol. Even if the sender uses this message-oriented TCP API, the receiver can't make any …

> but with the expectation that only openai has access to it You can argue about "the expectation" of privacy all you want, but this is completely detached from reality. My assumpt…

I haven't used it in a few years, but I always found it to be very flexible and useful for non-Qt projects. I last used it for an embedded project, which are sometimes a pain to se…

This also stuck out to me, but in defense of Amazon (yuck), I don't see that language directly from anyone at Amazon. They use the regular "reduction in corporate workforce" BS tha…

I work in software now, but I have an electrical engineering degree and started my career on a project developing a radio. Our project probably had ten or more electrical engineers…

This is veering into pedantry, but from what I can understand of that setting (I'm not a sysadmin guy but have used MACsec on embedded stuff), that's just as much of an 802.1X feat…

Even if it's not some staggering triumph of human achievement, I'd argue that Ozempic (etc.) is similar. A magic weight loss drug has always captured the public's imagination, and …

I think this is more relevant. Like everything, most games today are optimized to maximize engagement and keep people with low attention spans hooked. There are plenty of intellige…

I never looked into the guts of how this was implemented, but I worked on a product which had an SNMPv3 agent that was only restricted by a username and password. I could flash a P…

This isn't totally dead. I missed a flight last year and got bumped to a flight the next morning on some weird ticket class where I didn't get a seat assignment until the gate. The…

I'm 6'6" and I basically treat an exit row upgrade as non-negotiable. It's just a fundamental cost of long haul travel for me if I can't swing premium economy or business class. To…

I don’t have any data to back this up, but I think window and aisle seats being more valuable doesn’t necessarily mean they can be sold for more. I am very tall and I always pay fo…

I applied for a management-consulting-ish job a decade ago (I was desperate!) at a big firm and had to take what was basically an IQ test. I have no idea if the test literally calc…

Was this professionally or in school? I still did this in an EE program 15 years ago and I can't imagine things have changed since then. I think kids still have to do lots of ugly …

If you're pulling the datasheet from the vendor website, you can also skim the list of documentation and see if there are any application notes available for the part. For more "co…

This question is sorta similar to "Why don't distros enable restrictive MAC policies by default" Maintainers _could_ take the time to lock down sshd and limit the damage it can do …

I’m incredibly confident that any professor of aerospace engineering would give a better response. Is it common for people with PhDs to fall for basic misconceptions in their field…

That's what gets attention in the media, but the Trump administration has also been axing a lot of "traditional" programs. I used to work a defense contractor and still have some f…

I guess "often" is relative, but this happens to me pretty regularly. I live in Canada, and it's not always obvious if an American company ships here or not. If the answer isn't tr…

Is it so hard to believe that someone can be a great candidate in an interview when you're getting 100% of their attention and then be horrible at their job when you're getting 20%…
