"Carbon Aware Computing: Next Green Breakthrough or New Greenwashing?"

My contribution to this article was the focus on demand for compute. I made to models showing that the only way to get significant reductions in emissions is by demand reduction, not by moving workloads in time or space.
You can play with these models here: https://codeberg.org/wimvanderbauwhede/low-carbon-computing/src/branch/master/Low-Carbon-Computing/computing-emissions-scenarios-v2.ods or

In loving memory of the Xilinx CoolRunner-II CPLD family (2002-2024). They had a long run but were the last major product term CPLD family on the market and the time finally came for them to go EOL.
These parts will always be a bit special to me because they were the first programmable logic family I did bitstream RE work on, as well as my first major gate-level silicon RE project.
As a tribute, here's a never-before-seen image of the XC2C384 (second largest device in the family), made on UMC 180nm like the others.
There's five outer power rings. Likely VCCINT, VCCAUX, GND, VCCO, and maybe something else? The second ring in from the outside looks to be VCCO (since it's broken at IO bank boundaries).
Center of the device is boot flash and global config, then above/below are two tiles of 2x3 function blocks for a total of 24 FBs, each with 16 macrocells. Global interconnect runs vertically down the center of the device.

If you are a Rust programmer, you have asked yourself this question many times -- and likely discovered that the answer (as in so many things!) is that it's complicated.

@slightlyoff @maarteuh @sindarina right and it's not just having API compatibility that hinders PWA deployment over Native Apps on iOS... it's performance and memory leaks.
Web apps, with deeper experiences and long lived sessions really start to suffer under iOS Safari and these things matter. If your PWA experience can't get near native in terms of perf and stability then it's not an easy argument to make.
So yeah, things have, and are, getting better on iOS but they are far from solved.

a strike on a Baltic Sea port would be a deep strike indeed
'"A successful attack on such a terminal not only causes economic damage to the enemy, depriving the occupiers of the opportunity to earn money to wage war in Ukraine, but also significantly complicates the logistics of fuel for the Russian military."
Reuters could not confirm that the fire resulted from a Ukrainian drone attack.
If it did, such an attack would demonstrate Kyiv's ability to conduct strikes deeper into Russia than usual using what are believed to be domestically produced drones at a time when it is on the defensive on the battlefield and struggling to secure as much Western financing as it wants.
Such an attack, the latest in a spate of apparent strikes in recent days targeting Russian energy facilities, would also raise awkward questions about the quality of Russian air defence systems around key infrastructure facilities.'

You know, I always recommend Bosch e-bike systems to people, but I think I'm going to stop. Their newest system is so laden with DRM that I can't actually update anything even though I'm one of the certified technicians who's supposed to be able to do so even according to their evil DRM scheme. It's been literally months since I got certified and I still can't get access on my stupid DRM account. Seriously, just don't buy Bosch motors.

This action signals the start of a demand for the territory's return and potentially entering into conflict with the superpower. However, this is just political posturing today, and no rational person would suggest that russia could assault the United States.Read more here🔗 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-stokes-tensions-with-us-declares-1867-sale-of-alaska-illegal/ar-BB1h1lcT
