Now that's what a backbone looks like.

Had an instance with almost 2TB on disk in 2015, it's probably a lot more by now, if it's still running as-is. Was for analytics/data-warehousing. Though the big table was partitioned so queries were always nice and snappy. The machine had 128gb ram back then, but probably never needed that much. The applications working with the data ran on that same server, so processing latency was usually <10ms even for larger queries.

10-15W for a wifi router with a cable modem, less if it's only wifi, but that's the general ballpark (this is measured with a calibrated smart-plug)

In my experience of almost a decade in infosec now, no, we're not okay. I don't know any other group where so many people are struggling with burnout or who have developed a drinking habit because of their jobs. Might be selection bias, but this industry eats people alive, more so than others.

I hope they'll try to upstream some of those drivers at least. I've written driver code for some parts before and I was better off not even looking at their code and only going by the datasheet. Except when the code worked around silicon bugs not mentioned in the errata. Fun times.

that's interesting, ADI doesn't even list it anymore on their website but it's marked as still active. i guess it's still used in some test&measurement equipment.

they didn't though. zstd has been around even before the main dev joined fb, i distinctly remember it being under the persons personal github name.

Most of the developers have been and still are in Estonia. It would be easier to enforce regulations there technically.

Exagear is originally from the Russian company Eltechs and was targeted to running x86 apps on SBCs like the Raspberry Pi. e.g. they provided Ubuntu images with wine to run windows apps on a Pi.

They discontinued the product beginning of 2019 and presumably? got bought by Huawei.

Yeah, i saw the part now too that everything has to be placed first. This makes it quite... unspectacular. It's really cool if they come up with a good auto-router, but if it's just that I'd still prefer an offline solution, for faster iteration and most likely cost (when it's paid then).

Quite the contrary, KiCad is constantly improving and getting better with each release. When did your Altium last crash? I bet it wasn't more than a week ago.

To quote a colleague: "Altium is used by those who are forced to do so"

The real reason why companies are invested so much in it, because they have knowledge in it and huge design libraries.

Now offering a way to convert those properly to KiCad and giving support for edge-cases, that would be a business opportunity.

That's human powered for sure. Routing isn't the hardest problem, everything is quick once all the components are placed where they belong. E.g. TopoR already does quite a good job at the routing part.

But if you only take a schematic, and the design is sufficiently complex, it's already difficult if you hand it to another engineer who's not too familiar with what is being done, let alone a machine learning model.
