In my experience, this is a common enough usage variation that I'm not sure how helpful it is to treat it as an error. In particular, "assembler language" seems to have been IBM's preferred phrasing at one point.

I don't think the AP made an error here. Unless I'm misreading those articles, the situation is: - Republican early voting has increased since 2020. - Republicans have more in-person early votes, while Democrats have more mail-in

There were SRAM-based home computers, they just weren't very competitive when DRAM-based ones could offer 4x the RAM for the same price. VIC-20 did well for its day, though.

I don't know about punishment being the norm, but I'd like to see an agency (perhaps a better-funded and more independent analog of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection) that is competent and efficient enough to legitimately earn

I guess you're probably joking, but in case there's any actual confusion: ARM7 is fully pipelined, and GBA connects it to 32K of on-chip zero-wait-state SRAM, so it's possible for optimized code to approach 16 MIPS with 32-bi

Thanks. I think I was somehow looking at an outdated description for drm-61-kmod that said it was only for -CURRENT, and only found mentions of the needed linuxkpi changes possibly being merged into 14-STABLE in the future. Judging by the d

Are the (non-Nvidia) GPU drivers still years behind mainline Linux? I might be misinterpreting the release scheme, but it seems like FreeBSD 14's drivers correspond to Linux 5.15 and FreeBSD 15's will correspond to at least Linux

I think we desperately need to answer the question of why GLP-1 agonists are so effective, and particularly whether it's counteracting something in the environment that has been acting to reduce GLP-1 (or other glucagon-related pathw

Not that you're under any obligation to suffer the peanut gallery, but I'm curious as to how it is that Micro Star v. FormGen (which I assume is your Duke Nukem reference) obviously applies more readily here than Galoob v. Nint

IIRC it took them a couple months to get through all of the Yuzu forks after the initial DMCA and lawsuit. I doubt there were nearly as many forks of Ryujinx, though.

I recall hearing (maybe in a Level1Techs video?) that something akin to this can already be done with SAS. Each CPU in a dual-socket system gets its own HBA and each drive has two SAS connectors, so there's no performance hit for acces
