Starting February 1, 2024, there will be a charge of $0.005 per hour for all public IPv4 addresses, regardless of whether they are attached to a service or not. The rising cost of acquiring a single public IPv4 address, which has increased by over 300% in the past 5 years, has led to this change. […]

When using the ping command, you may encounter a “pipe” value in the rtt statistics. To understand its meaning, I delved into the ping source code. The “pipe” number represents the maximum number of echo request packets that were simultaneously sent but not yet answered by an echo reply packet. However, they eventually receive a […]
Nuked-MD-FPGA is a Verilog version of the Nuked MD emulator, with the goal of accurately emulating the Sega Mega Drive chipset. The Mega Drive chipset consists of six integrated circuits and RAM chips, including CPUs, sound processors, and other components. The emulator aims to mimic the various chipsets used in different Mega Drive revisions, with […]
The author is reaching out to individuals involved in drug or medical development who have experienced the FDA’s slow response or perceived vengeance. They emphasize that many people with first-hand knowledge of the FDA’s slowness are afraid to speak out due to concerns about their lives and careers, as well as the FDA’s tendency to […]
Haixin Chang submitted a report discussing experimental findings on the atmospheric superconductivity of a modified lead apatite crystal called LK-99. The original researchers, Sukbae Lee et al., claimed that LK-99 materials exhibited the Meissner levitation phenomenon of superconductors and had a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) higher than 400 K. However, Chang and his team successfully […]
GNU Units is a powerful tool that allows you to convert quantities between different systems of measurement. It can handle various types of conversions, including nonlinear conversions like Fahrenheit to Celsius and wire gauge. In addition to unit conversions, GNU Units can also be used as a scientific calculator that tracks units in its calculations. […]
The network stack is a complex system that performs various tasks to ensure reliable transmission and smooth operation of the internet. It handles addressing of billions of active nodes, routes packets through the network, and reassembles them correctly even if they arrive out of order. The network routing process involves bucket-brigading or passing the data […]
If you’re a nerdy old-timer like me, you might remember hacking in the BASIC computer language during your grade school days. One of the features of this mostly hated language was that each statement required a line number. Surprisingly, you could actually use line numbers to run your program from any random point, similar to […]
Researchers have found that mobile malware developers are exploiting a bug in the Google Android platform to insert malicious code into mobile apps without detection. The bug allows attackers to corrupt components of an app so that mobile security scanning tools ignore the new malicious code, while the app as a whole appears valid and […]
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our company, which will revolve around Polars and its ability to process data at any scale. The journey started three years ago, with the initial commit of Polars, a pet project aimed at exploring query engines, Apache arrow, and the Rust programming language. However, it has grown […]
