Silego makes little mixed-signal ICs. Think one-time programmable mini FPGAs with just a few LUTs, ADC/DACs, clocks, and power switching components. They make excellent glue chips between more complex components, and are really tiny.
Good for Silego! They're a talented little group that I've been watching for a few years now.
California is appropriately trying to force the hand of the US Congress, but their mechanism is misguided and inappropriate.
Agreed. The right way is to make sure people favorable to net neutrality chair the FCC. The way to do that is to vote out those that gut regulatory authority. Lately, those seem to all be Republicans, so get out on November 6th and vote them out of office.
Free market capitalism, it seems, is not the end-all be-all solution, as it leads to market consolidation, governmental authority capture, and abuse of market position. Regulation has its place, and I firmly believe this is one place where it's needed.
If you choose not to fight for your rights because you're "not a criminal," then don't be surprised when you don't have any rights left when you need them. It's easy to sit on your high horse, but if you're ever falsely accused, you're going to eat those words.
SaltStack uses the master/minion terminology. Master, as a word, has many legitimate uses outside of a slavery setting. There should be no qualms in using that by itself. I yearn to become a master blacksmith myself...
To me, "minion" is more reminiscent of serfs and feudal times, when slavery was more like indentured servitude. Lately, it has more of a willing, adoring, (yellow) worker vibe than anything else, but I have kids so have watched the movies.
Ultimately, the computer paradigm is, at its core, a controller vs. controlled relationship. For someone who sees themselves as controlled, the paradigm itself is a potential trigger, no matter what terms are used. IMHO, that calls for therapy, not pull requests.
Also as a person from a nation that was ruled by hungarian kingdoms (and later the austro-hungarian empire) for a 1000 years including attempts at hungarization I am strongly offended by "hungarian notation".
I don't know, but I'm guessing it's something very similar to Security Onion. (Network security should have multiple layers; like an onion. Get it?)
Albert sensors are probably very similar, using a more hardened platform, with similar FOSS tools installed, and with access to government-specific threat intel feeds and analysis.
At least make it a little more intellectual and make it a molòn labé sticker... That way, Tweedle the TSA agent, who can't find any other jobs and regrets his poor life choices every time he drives in for the early shift, won't understand the implication.
The OS should set those flags whenever the write operation has completed, not wait until a "clean shutdown" happens. There are lots of things that can happen between the file write and the time the partition gets unmounted (eg power or controller failure), not accounting for technical issues is a flaw.
Where's my mod points when I need them
I'd long wished that removable media was ROW (read-remount on write) and automatically switched back to ROI (read-only on idle). Once it automatically changed read-enabled state, a system tray (or menu bar on macs) icon could indicate when it's safe to unplug.
I still think my mid-2014 MBP is one of the best platforms Apple ever made. It has a MagSafe charging connector, a keyboard that still works after four years of nearly daily use, and enough non-USB-C ports that I don't have to carry around a handful of dongles.
Post-Jobs Apple doesn't seem to understand how pros work. That seems to happen most often when a COO takes over as CEO. To appeal to me again, the MBP should at least have an option for MagSafe charging, and bring back at least a couple of USB-A ports and the headphone jack.
Oh, and fix the keyboard; that's still the primary interface between man and machine!
Shut up; I don't want to hear it. My options are wireless carrier, satellite, or the local fixed-wireless vendor that uses the neighbor's grain tower, which is what I chose. I get a decently reliable 12Mbps down and 1.5Mbps or so up. And I only pay $125 for up to 60GB/month (plus my left arm if I go over that).
On the plus side, semi-rural life is nice, and I've got nearly 3 acres backing up to a stream. I'm not staring at another house when I look out the back window or sit on the deck. All that's missing is the mountain view...
Has anyone seen Hidden Figures? Back when NASA was preparing to launch their first satellite, "Computer" was someone's job title. Someone who sat at a desk all day solving equations and formulas all day. If you asked someone back then, where's the computer, they'd point to the desk's seat, not the desktop.
The meaning of many words change over time. Get over it! It's self centered and ignorant to assume that one's current vernacular will remain unchanged in the future.
Well, except that they are now using the increased security of devices as rationalization to arrest people in more dangerous ways so as to get to the phone before it is locked down. An example [bbc.co.uk] (albeit in the UK, but same principles apply everywhere).
You could also use Ulbricht's takedown in the library as an example. But I'm ok with that.
Police work should be a little difficult. That helps keep them in check. And they do need to be kept in check. If they really want something, there are ways to get it, but it has to be worth the effort. If there's no effort to getting what they want, they'll just want it all. The ability to automate collection leads naturally to mass collection and thus mass surveillance.
The others can only really go so far on privacy, no matter what users shout for, bacause their markets (not the users) have very different requirements with regard to personal information.
This! Exactly this. You don't hear any LEAs complain about how difficult it is to break into an Android device. BECAUSE IT ISN'T!
There is a very distinct whiff of nerd resentment here.
I disagree. The FBI and other TLAs (Three Letter Agencies) have been caught too many times with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar. And when caught doing unlawful things, their response has been to make their actions lawful, and with secret laws at that, rather than stop breaking the law. Consumers are responding by demanding their providers put a lock on the cookie jar. When it's no longer a government by the people and for the people, people tend to dismiss government concerns.
It's not Apple being jerks; it's Apple doing what their customers want. FBI rants have essentially become advertisements for Apple's products. Thanks for the free PR, Flatley!
@EditorDavid, did you helpfully go through the story submission and "correct" every instance where the submitter used the singular "saving" form? Thanks for that.. my OCD just gave me a seizures.
Right so you can get calls at 10 at night from Grandma guiding her on opening ports on her firewall settings with UDP to get her Ipad's itunes to work
If uPNP weren't available, iTunes and your games would have been written with some other connection method. They'd be making more use of STUN/TURN/ICE or just ensuring that all connections from the enduser are outbound. uPNP enabled programmers to be lazy in how they engineered connectivity. It is insecure by design, "but hey, since it's ubiquitous, let's use it!"
Here's some quick napkin-calculations. A gallon of water weighs a little over 8 pounds. If you consider meat is mostly water, that means a pound of meat "takes" about a pint of water out of the environment. The other 2499 7/8 gallons are returned to the environment to be evaporated, filtered by the ground, or otherwise recycled. But they're not "taken" by any sane use of that word. To use a sensational figure like 2500 gallons, it's obvious to most that it's sensationalism.
As discussed here, the water figure comes primarily from what is used to irrigate pasture, and is higher for beef because cattlemen grow pastures in drier climates than chicken or pork farmers. That is not a beef problem as much as it is a land-use problem. If we kicked the cattlemen out of California, that pastureland would become something else, like an orchard, and then we'd have an apple problem instead of a beef problem.
This is market forces at work. It just shows that our demand for beef is high enough that it pays for a cattleman to grow pastures on arid land. The only other place you hear of irrigation at that extreme is in the UAE, since that's the only type of land they have. Make irrigation more expensive, those costs will just be passed on in the price of meat, fewer people will want to pay the higher prices, and the most expensive operations will pivot to something else. Chances are that land would not be returned to its natural, arid state, though, so you've still got a water-use problem, plus higher beef prices.
Anti trust implies controlling prices to the detriment of the consumer. Apple in no way sets or controls the pricing. An app developer is free to charge whatever they want or make it free.
IANAL, but I believe where antitrust charge comes into play is not in the control of pricing, but the control of access to the market. They have created a monopoly where they can dictate terms, fees, and other aspects of the market because the only path to that market is via their storefront.
M-W has nothing specifically about price control in their definition.

Great, now I have to change your password.
Fixed that for ya'...
It sounds like Apple specifically wants the Silego team. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
Silego makes little mixed-signal ICs. Think one-time programmable mini FPGAs with just a few LUTs, ADC/DACs, clocks, and power switching components. They make excellent glue chips between more complex components, and are really tiny.

We could use a lot of silver bullets to cut the population in half. Then a whole lot of problems go away.
Go home, Thanos. You're drunk.
Why the "Almost" then? If the time is intentionally fudged, is it ever accurate?

You're why all this matters.
