Game 6 was pretty tight and pretty good. You have to realize they were playing the last moves after midnight and they were playing them on increment, 30 seconds a move, basically rapid. Nepo's 'blunder' is an extremely natura

I've had that problem as well. The one thing that helped was getting rid of all social networking on the phone. That means no apps and I don't even log in to HN on the phone.

You might double back and read the Odyssey. The Aeneid is in two halves, the Odysseian first half and the Iliadic second half. Virgil is creating a new creation myth for Rome, different from Romulus and Remus, and he's binding it to th

Yes, The Odyssey is great (even if Telemachus is an entitled twit). The Iliad is great if very straightforward. The Aeneid is great, well the first half is, but like Romeo and Juliet after Mercutio dies, The Aeneid flags after Did

TL;DR My code snippet results in bloated code for RISC-V RV64I. I'm not sure how bloated it is. All of those instructions will compress [1]. [1] https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ri

Mini-MIPS isn't that different from a conventional out-of-order superscalar microarchitecture. The article even says: However, the MiniMIPS pipeline structure can execute instructions out-of-order with respect to each other becau

The first constitutional convention was ratified by 9 out the 13 colonies, 2/3s. Rhode Island rejected it by referendum but ratified it by convention in 1790. It's a complex story. I remember reading that Washington avoided Rhode

No. The post provides an artifact so that you can test it yourself on your configuration. Knowing how it performed on this particular stepping of that particular microarchitecture won't help you on yours. Yes, your mileage may vary bec

If you are going to a gym, I'd recommend classes. You don't have to think much. You just have to do which is good when you don't know anything. You just know you have to be there at 9am; it'll be an hour; and you'll

Of course you can do it locally. But you can share a Godbolt link. If you are asking or explaining something on StackExchange, Godbolt is the standard. You can document implementation decisions with Godbolt links in source code (LLVM 13 h

Start with the Godbolt Compiler Explorer ( godbolt.org ). Start by looking at the assembly generated for something you understand and learn to read assembly from that. For example, this is an absolute function: https://godbolt.or

V7 supported hardware segmentation registers. Look at sureg() in usr/sys/sys/ureg.c [1]. What it didn't support was pages. That came with 3BSD [2]. [1] https://github.com/v7unix/v7unix/blob&

My favorite modern shifting tech is SRAM's Force 22 Yaw front derailleur. Well ok, index shifting is there too. Yaw rotates the front derailleur cage slightly as you shift rings. This keeps the cage inline with the chainline and makes

They may be more efficient for the shipping line but do the 20,000 TEU behemoths (ULVC) exacerbate the problem?

No, I don't think Page + Brin needed Sand Hill Road to introduce them to fellow Stanford alums Jerry Yang and David Filo. Profit isn't revenue and visa versa. But it's on record that Google had $220,000 in revenue in 1999. Ya

Yes, but Orwell having shot the elephant understood the pointlessness of it, understood that the Great Game was being played back on the West. Hitchens never got that, or never admitted to getting that.
