I’ve often wondered about the choice of LUT4 vs LUT6 in #FPGA. I came across this interesting paper that suggests LUT4 could remain competitive at smaller process nodes.

When Apple markets "repairability" or "longevity" or "privacy", it's always a cover story; a post-hoc rationalisation, not a first-principles look at what it would mean to put those values front-and-center.

I'm glad some people are calling the machine to account:

I think it is usefully clarifying that the Bay Aryan financing class is slotting into MAGA.

You don't have to be a class reductionist to think that money interests are a powerful explanatory force.

Finally got down the process for my cacio e pepe to turn out wonderfully creamy. But the process of generating of lots of starch from pasta had a side effect of also concentrating a lot of salt, so need to adjust.

By the way, here's a straightforward process that makes sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIaJ_CvdEA

• Testimonial quote from Riccardo Margiotta: “Every speaker was excellent, and the level of expertise in the room was unreal. I got to talk 1-to-1 with folks who work on the browsers, dev tools, and performance tools I use every day, and ask their advice on my real world problems. What an incredible opportunity.” (remote)

Every form of bigotry essentially boils down to "I am superior to you because you are not the same as me," and "DEI hire" as a pejorative 100% covers all of those bases in a handy, catch-all, sanitized way you can freely say on TV.

collinsworth@hachyderm.io ("Josh Collinsworth") wrote:

It strikes me that every offensive and bigoted name one could possibly call another human has been laundered and normalized into the single catch-all term "DEI hire."

So if you hear somebody use the term "DEI hire" as a pejorative, I think it's appropriate to treat them as though they've just said the most unbelievably offensive string of words imaginable.

Because really, they have.

Apple Safari introduces Private Browsing 2.0. It includes "Blocking network loads of CNAME-cloaked known trackers". The tweet below is the best research work, where we demonstrated and describing the scheme and the risks. This Safari feature is excellent. New fingerprinting protection approach.
Apple is also criticising a (the least exciting, though) part of Google's Privacy Sandbox, the Topics API.

Stop using colors on your website! Rendering color takes precious time and energy. Just leave the entire screen black, it's a more natural state, and a better user experience.

Enjoy the power and beauty of PHP; or never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of PHP until your stack is completely jammed. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at your old sites and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how simple and fast they were. JS is not as blazingly fast as you imagine.

The Democratic impulse to capitulate and beg for forgiveness and unity whenever anything bad happens to a Republican is really something, especially for marginalized people who can't even get the time of day from these people.

I can't think of a more far reaching white supremacy tactic than suppressing "political" posts, aka Black and brown issues, across two platforms and a billion people.

Yet, those on this app who colonized the moral high ground, claiming anyone still on TwitterX is supporting white supremacy, are quiet as fuck about #Meta's #Instagram and #Threads.

weeeeeiiirrrrrddddooo behavior. Straight up goofball shit.
