The code formatting is so badly broken now. It simply cannot have been tested. i just can't believe they want it to work like that. i also really hate that copy and pasting into a chat preserves the styling/formatting of the original. why would i want that? and the search... oh the search!

If you are taking an NFC fob out with you just take a spare key. It doesn't even need power.

OK, yes there's often correlation but that's it. A longer pipeline doesn't affect max circuit frequency.

The other sibling comment regarding distance isn't true. regardless of how insane your feedbacks are. Physical placement tools have always handled this in my experience (as a chip designer for 10+ years).

How is pipeline length related to max frequency?

I don't see why latency matters here.

Doesn't an icecast server already do what broadcast-server does? You post an audio stream to it and it relays that to clients. What am I missing?

In terms of GDPR/privacy, is there any issue when posting private data to a 3rd-party server (i.e. webhooks) vs having that 3rd-party query your server? Or can you just say that once a secure webhook subscription is established you are off the hook (pun not intentional)?

Strava has an API like that but combines it with an insanely low daily rate-limit which makes retrieving the changed data difficult for anything other than personal apps. But that's totally an issue with their brain-dead policy rather than the idea.

Thanks so much for the tip. I looked at it but it's all folded on the mobile view and I totally missed it. However, the beluga xl article holds no information regarding this that I can see.

Other than other vehicles and containers, this is pretty cool:

> In 1999, a Beluga carried a large painting, Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix,[20] which had hung in the Louvre in Paris since 1874

There are also now 6 Beluga XLs with approx 30% larger cargo hold than original Beluga.

I'm curious if Airbus ever lease them out to others for transporting big things other than wings.

Looks like I did misunderstand, I thought they actually meant the silicon technology itself which is now available to the others and they all have designs coming using it.

That would make sense in the context of Intel but anyone with money has access to TSMC 5nm (in 2021-2022). Do I misunderstand?

Do these community supported SDK/APIs ever work? In my experience (Strava and Spotify APIs) it's an excuse for the company to release a load of half-baked crap and then wash their hands of supporting it. Allowing them to tick the box that they offer a public API and make themselves look better. Despite members of the public donating their time to help each other, without participation from the company itself it's all trial and error development with everyone running into the same bugs that never get fixed.

It's great that some companies have finally recognised the value in providing public SDK/APIs but they should be investing in supporting them also.

Will the airflow "work" with all the gaps?
