By disabled, do you mean the same processor design being binned into varying qualities of chip? In that case, it seems much more cost effective, and environmentally friendly, to send out chips with bad sections disabled at a lower price rat

While not disagreeing entirely with the core of your argument, an internship should be about learning rather than handing off the work no one else wants to touch. Is is unreasonable to expect, in a position which is reasonably considered a

Oh no, this is what happens when I take 5 minutes to HN and don't check my math. I put an edit in the bottom as a testament to my eternal shame.

It says 'the value of assets seized has ballooned to $4.3 billion in the 2012 fiscal year' which means that, spread across every American, is an extra $1400 tax which is off the books. For perspective, on the highest minimum wage

The more cache you have, the harder it is to get it to the frequency you desire. A larger cache also means a more power hungry cpu producing more heat and subject to significant reliance on Moore's Law in order to avoid stalling out on

If you don't care about the safety of anyone involved and don't wish to go into a government building with your laptop, I'm sure thermite would be a lot more effective for its weight than a civilian acquirable explosive. A th

Thanks for pointing that out, I tried following the author's link and assumed it had gotten the HN hug.

Someone yell at me if I'm wrong, but isn't TeX designed for paged content? That means while TeX might work amazingly for paginated content, single page apps, or really any non-paginated content, is very much a screwdriver where a

Just a heads up, the yellow/orange text inputs are fairly unreadable for me. Might just be my monitor config though.

I'd like you to consider the fact that your operating system is already a significant abstraction and that a browser is essentially a virtual machine that allows to download and run programs from any source safely. You know all those m

Its incredible to think that Fortran is alive and actually improving! Browsing the wikipedia article(I've not yet dived in too deeply) you find features like easy concurrency that one would expect in Go being added to a language whose

I was informed a few days ago that my 16 core Parallella has shipped; I had hoped, when I ordered, that it would come earlier in the year before exams but the fact that it shipped- several kickstarters which did not deliver have made me war

Well, for one, you get a completely crossplatform method of executing and deploying what would typically be especially painful to distribute to a wide user base spread across various hardware families. Think of everything you can do with op

The start of an extreme microkernel. Just add messaging, a little memory work, processes and the rest can be possibly done in user mode!

An fpga that would be useful is a relatively expensive piece of hardware, even at scale. Additionally, finding skilled professionals that would be able to work with them is much, much tougher than hiring a comparable graphics programmer. Th

The difficulty of linking to a high level definition of a hash function and its differences to encryption is not very high. If a customer were to be curious as to what hashing is then that link should clear it up perfectly.

I generally prefer the idea of a thermite charge planted on the ram. Cold boot? Try that when the dram goes from 40 to 300 in two seconds. Then again, encrypting your drive and making sure the encryption key is safe might be slightly more s

That is a big potential issue, but really, you can deploy a standalone binary written in go within 2 minutes that supports the state of the art(minus perhaps some subtle but important fixes) in TLS. If not anything else, that is pretty damn

Official TLS 1.2 support? Oh yes please. Increases in JSON speed? Oh hell yes. I'm loving how Go, as a package in the standard lib, now supports better TLS than most servers.
