// QEMU UART registers - these addresses are for QEMU's 16550A UART
  #define UART_BASE 0x10000000
  #define UART_THR  (*(volatile char *)(UART_BASE + 0x00)) // Transmit Holding Register
  #define UART_RBR  (*(volatile char *)(UART_BASE + 0x00)) // Receive Buffer Register
  #define UART_LSR  (*(volatile char *)(UART_BASE + 0x05)) // Line Status Register

These statements always catch me a bit off-guard. Is there no such thing as a cancelation period in the US? When my employer wants to kick me out, he needs a good reason for that and I'd still be paid for 3 months. Which is often even longer, depending on how long you belong to a company.

Edit: I'm in germany

> Xilinx tech support page and a forum post explaining how to get the Xilinx ISE to run under Windows 8 or Windows 10. Unfortunately Xilinx no longer maintains this development suite, but has also considered it unnecessary to support their Spartan 6 platform in the successor software suite, Vivado…

Wasn't the Spartan 6 also supported by the open source toolchains? I just did a couple seconds of search and I could only find the yosys support, but no nextpnr. Sad. Xilinx/AMD should open that up

PS, my references: I have never used cursor, I am quite bad at vibe coding and don't enjoy it at all. I rarely even use AI for help. But I am quite decent at FPGA design and embedded developemnt. If you have a job for me in germany or remote in europe, then I will pay you with very bad humor every week. Possibility of using linux+neovim is a requirement though. (Yes, I really need a job)

"Premature clustering is the source of all evil" - or something like that.

But I just wanted to comment something similar. It's probably heavily dependend on how many services you self-host, but I have 6 services on my VPS and they are just simple podman containers that I just run. Some of them automatically, some of them manually. On top of that a very simple nginx configuration (mostly just subdomains with reverse proxy) and that's it. I don't need an extra container for my nginx, I think (or is there a very good security reason? I have "nothing to hide" and/or lose, but still). My lazy brain thinks as long as I keep nginx up to date with my package manager and my certbot running, ill be fine

Why is there even a desire to replace car manufacturers? Presumably this is the kind of job humans find meaningful

That's kinda crazy that people absolutely stopped to care that all their emails and so forth will be used as training data for the next models
