The final straw was a trip to the UK. My debit card had foreign transaction fees and then I was waiting in the cattle call area for a BA flight seeing people significantly more relaxed coming out of airport lounges. My system, so to speak,

wezterm gives you the option to ligature or not to ligature. config.harfbuzz_features = { 'calt=0', 'clig=0', 'liga=0' }

I only meant that MIPS got rid of the "without interlocking pipeline stages" in the R4000, not the other stuff. I was just saying that was a weird architectural feature not unlike BDSs and register windows. BTW, tagged integers ar

I like the idea of explaining Mad Magazine's Spy v Spy as a Nash equilibrium. Nash is about strategies, particularly that neither side could do any better with any other strategy. Spying's justification then comes from fact that

… without interlocked pipeline stages was an early weird RISC bet not unlike register windows, branch delay slots or tagged integers. They abandoned it in R4000.

I used an iPhone as an air pressure recorder. There's an app for that; many actually. Anyways, the trunk gate on my car wasn't sealing and when it went over pavement joints on the highway it would slightly open and then close in q

The earlier 1997 paper on Disco [1] by Bugnion, … was written just before VMware was founded in 1998. It was circulated for review and reputedly made its way to Bill Gates. However, VMware was self funded; so Gates wasn't an early in

You are alluding to the Constitutionally inert 10th Amendment.

‘Collective rights’ aren’t in the Constitution. You may wish to read that as well. But I do recognize your sentiment as echoing Trump’s I am your retribution rhetoric. Otherwise, I’m done here.

No, the immigration laws are not draconian. They have guidelines around reunification of families, etc. The Reagan era Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 even legalized most illegals from before 1982. That wasn't draconian eith

The Bushes and Reagan were a little more genteel but that's it. Reagan even gave the wink wink nod nod speech about States' Rights at the Neshoba County Fair. The difference between them and Trump is sortorial.

We are paying for phones but we are still the product. Google Facebook etc were explicitly created to monetize privacy. What I search for is monetized. Who I know is monetized. Private companies will monetize what we perceive as public good

Roughly every two years, the density of transistors that can be fit onto a silicon chip doubles. No. Moore's law is not about density. It's just about the number of transistors on a chip. Yes, density increases but so does

The Nvidia technical brief says 208 billion transistors. https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-blackwell-architecture Blackwell uses the TSMC 4NP process. It has two layers. A very back of the envelope estimate: 750mm^2
