More like picking special tires that can run on the shitty road. The roads are the hardware itself and their vendors (I would assume).

- Beltiras 9y agoI can see that making sense. Still see the retpoline reducing the forks in the road, forcing the "proper route".
- SolarNet 9y agoNo you still misunderstand. The road in the analogy is the hardware itself. And the car is the OS. The OP's point was that we have to replace the hardware, because at some point you are hacking up your car to absurd degree just to be able to drive on the road of the hardware. It has nothing to do about forks in the road and the analogy to branching. He could be arguing for anywhere from, we need to replace all our hardware now, to we need to start over with how we design chips.
