For that you could just some FRAM with minimal effort

You should know which logic family you need before you even get searching - voltage levels and timing should be known beforehand, which will dictate exactly which families are suitable

Sweden has collective agreements where workplace conditions including pay are decided between the unions and the employers rather than the government interfering in the process. Yes even software devs are covered under this.

Why would they want to move people around the world, deal with the unions who will force them to raise the floor of the local salaries etc when they can just hire the best talent in the US?

I can't see how the wages have anything to do with the points in the parent comment but you're never going to get US wages in Sweden as long as the unions are involved

They'll still install crowdstrike or some other rootkit that will bring it all down anyway

> I don't think people realize that the US is the only market in the world where phones are carrier locked

Probably because that's not true.

> For example in Australia they are upgrading our fibre network to 1Gbps which is 10x the speed of Starlink.

I don't know of anyone using Starlink in areas with fibre, only rural areas with no fibre.

If you do that you deserve what you get

> if you need to be root, then login as root via console

1: This requires every user to have the root password, while sudo does not

2: If everyone just logs in as root there's no way to audit who actually logged in and did what.

Skirting regulations

The breadboard itself has a bit of capacitance too doesn't it?

A lot of it is written in ASM for performance reasons.

Besides that, there's always a bunch of "this should be rewritten completely in <hot new language>" as if it's trivial to rewrite software like this from scratch but nobody ever steps up and does it, I wonder why that is?

It's necessary because anytime there's talk about the original authors of open source software making money rather than big corps everyone starts frothing at the mouth and forking things to protect the leeches.

> They're old and obsolete. While they may have value to a niche group, they are overall viewed as mostly worthless.

Old and obsolete doesn't mean worthless, if people are collecting them and spending a lot of money on them then they're not worthless.

Ah yes they're going to extinguish Go with a checks notes... open-source fork

If you use an app role you can define policies that limit the usage of said app role to specific ip addresses, ec2 instance ids etc so that even if someone steals the key it will be useless unless they somehow root the server hosting your application (and if they do that they're getting the secret no matter what)

Even with a regular token the benefit is that if it is leaked (say, by a git commit etc) this by itself doesn't grant you access to the actual secret because it is stored in vault, and you'd need to have connectivity to the vault server(s) to make use of it.

But what about the dozens of us using Nomad and Vagrant?

> I think it's outrageous that my government seems to think they have the right to censor, worldwide, anything that originates from Australia.

Really it's the US Government who thinks they have the right, have a look at who our eSafety commissioner is and where she's worked before

I'm sure that as usual the higher res options will be available in the US only

I lack imagination, what would the beginner do/create with a simple to use FPGA toolchain?

If it's just open tools you need then yosys is a thing.

> Projects like Redis that are only popular because they've always been free and open source need to take a hint from the Linux Foundation and understand that maximizing profit is not compatible with what makes Redis successful.

Unless you're Jeff Bezos apparently

> This meant that every user could have their own unique Jonathan setup, pulling together various software platforms, storage devices, and hardware capabilities into their own personalized system. Imagining what would have been required for all this to work together gives me a headache. In addition to the shared backbone interface, there would need to be software written to make an almost-endless number of configurations work smoothly for the most demanding of users. It was all very ambitions, but perhaps a little too far-fetched.

gestures at the Amigas and PCs of the time

> I’d be using a home inkjet to make circuit boards

I've heard of using Laser printers for this but not InkJet

Nevertheless the leeches will start a big PR campaign about how the creators are evil for wanting a piece of the pie just like they did for Terraform

Given that there's no official documentation and they can only learn through reverse engineering this is not at all surprising.

Presumably RedHat are in the same boat.

Radiologists work as part of a system that saves lives, high level "engineers" work in companies that push ads and collect + sell data on their users

Back in those days you'd check for activity using a logic probe, cheap and simple.

People don't use those much any more because we're spoilt with our cheap scopes

What I will never understand is that the screen options differ depending on which market you're in.

When I was looking at Thinkpads there was never any better options than 1920x1200 but if I switched to the US site I could order with the HiDPI OLED screen.

> The reason they didn’t do a full 640×480 was because they were focused on TV-compatible video hardware, not because an 8MHz 68000 couldn’t handle it.

The interleaved memory access of the CPU & Agnus means that the amount of data that can be pulled from the RAM is directly related to the bus speed.

This, combined with the horizontal line frequency and the bus width determines how many memory accesses there can be per line - to get a 640x480 progressive scan you'd have to double the amount of accesses per second and there's not enough access slots to do this at 7 MHz.

When A1200 came out (too little too late by the end of '92) with AGA the CPU speed was doubled to 14MHz with a 32-bit wide bus which finally allowed for higher resolution progressive modes, more colours etc.
