That office space [1] looks awful. Why is everything an open space theses days?

If it's "instantly" it means PoW is useless, and this thing is just a marketing stunt. Who would have thought.

It's probably the only part where hardware development (FPGA or ASIC) has a significant edge: "time travel debugging" is the norm, where you have a wave window with your design state cycle by cycle. Can't wait to see more of that in software!

Doesn't work very well for the hip hop track I tried (which has very repetitive accompaniment). It might be a bit too good to be true unfortunately.

> The answer, of course, would be research. All the students were working the same amount. Their work habits were different.

The proper research here would have been to make the student change their habit and see if they became better musicians as a result. This article isn't research, it's writing down a fact and then trying to extract conclusions when none can be made.

My bet is on a voice actor -- or an underling invoking deep fake to cover his arse

Well duh. If you're barely getting the grant, you're not going to be in a place where you can impress people and progress very well.

If you miss the grant by a bit, you'll find somewhere where you're a better fit.

It's not the setback that helps

Looks neat! FYI you have a typo on https://n8n.io/hosting you probably meant to s/self-hosted/hosted/

What's this "standard" package anyway? Looks like it's packing eslint with an .estlintrc and... that's it?
Re:Pwnie Award Nominations for 2019 on Monday August 05, 2019 @07:55AM (#20613343)
Very interesting stuff

FYI the calendar link in July 28 should probably be a href="/nominations" instead of "nominations". Clicking it from outside the home page brings you to a 404.

You might want to look into a RTOS.

Each task has its own stack, and can communicate with other tasks with mailboxes or shared memory (with a lock).

You'd have a task for each of the things you mention: debouncing a button, drive the display from a buffer, and application logic.

The application logic then doesn't have to worry about bounces, how long it'll take to drive the display, etc.

Modal screens over static screens is orthogonal to this though. You'd need to build a priority scheme, and only pass down events to the current on-screen view.

I switched a few months ago after the forced login debacle. I thought it'd be long to get adjusted, but it was very fast.

Firefox has sync to all devices too.

They now have a dropdown menu with all your tabs. Pretty nifty.

How would a blackhat grab the wallet if it's GPG encrypted and needs the passphrase from the dev?

Unless I'm missing the joke, this is a bug bounty with extra steps.
Thanks. That explains the graph where both storage and production are in MW
Graphing storage and production in MW, side by side? The whole article looks like a joke after that.

Recipe for disaster

Is there a real paper linked to this study? All I can find is this rubbish [1] which is a collection of info-graphics without any p-value.

Don't get your hope up like I did. From the readme:

     Installation
     Download, install and activate the Xposed framework
     Download, install and activate the XPrivacyLua module
