Re: Can a Pico debug a Pi?

@Liam thanks for the extra info!

Yes, I should have been clearer in my comment. I was asking if it's possible to debug a Raspberry Pi (Zero/3/4) using SWD. I have seen the same tutorials for using JTAG, but I hadn't seen any for using SWD, so I assumed it wasn't applicable for non-Pico Pis.

Re: Wire-Wrap Gun?

Telekinesis! Hark at you! In my day we relied on entropy to do the job, and thought ourselves bloody lucky!

Re: What is this heresey?

Can't we just acknowledge the beautiful spectrum of numbers between 0 and 1?

Re: Old Arm

Ooh, hark at him with his 15 registers! In my day, we had A, X and Y and thought ourselves bloody luck!

Re: Who needs a cabal of Satan-worshipping, child-eating pedophiles

The reptilian overlords only think they run the world. They’re dupes of the Satan-worshipping, child-eating paedophiles.

Speaking as a saver who was affected, Icelandic banks did have regulatory protection (by the Icelandic government), and even argued that the protection was superior to that offered by the FCA and other European regulators. The issue was that the Icelandic government refused to honour those protections, except to Icelandic citizens. I have some sympathy for the Icelandic government’s position, as I suspect the liabilities were larger than they were able to cover. It’s misleading to suggest that savers were putting money in savings accounts with no protection.

Re: ICO (...) pause our investigation because of COVID-19

It's also about generalising an issue to avoid holding specific companies to account. If Google has a unique tracking ID that users do not give consent to, then Google should be held accountable for *their* abuse of GDPR. Let's not bury this in an investigation of real-time bidding and the adtech industry.

Re: Well whaddya know

Pretty sure the reason is to protect the drivers from thieves, not viruses.

Re: A warning for us all.

Two wrongs don't make a right, as the saying goes.

Better a lazy asshole, than an asshole who races through amber lights...

It's half-baked...

Also, insert joke about cold, humourless automatons at departure gates being replaced by robots.

Re: Stallman went there to preach the Gospel of Free Software

Google is a 'force for good', and they are a bunch of insufferable hypocrites!

How about Pearl? The next language iteration could then be called Peaarl. Future proof!

Not sure why your comment has been down voted, but I agree - this is a technology web site, and i don’t want to see political stories.

Re: Liar, liar, pants on fire!

I had a look at the Washington Post link, and I got the impression it was more about how publishers can monetise user information, rather than advertisers. Not about protecting privacy at all, just about where the money ends up.

Re: That was a close call.

I'm always a bit suspicious of developers who don't like the command line.

Re: High level GC languages increase productivity

In fairness, I was being facetious and not serious. :)

Re: Keeping mum

I heard they used PDF files to catch the paedophiles.

Perhaps we could crowd source some ads on Facebook with Zuck's face, warning about the prevalence of fake ads on Facebook?

Still, nice to see him take a break from prostrating himself before the nearest dictator with a cheque book.

Give it a REST!

Re: This Person Does Not Exist

Well, hopefully it won't lead to anyone getting framed.

It even uses tables for layout. That's some seriously old school HTML.
