That is a trade-off towards density that seems not worth it where all it would take is a 16 bit NOP to pad and a few more bytes of memory to save on transistors of implementation. Maybe they did the actual math and figured it's still c

Pretty sure this just means moving around trailers on a parking lot / loading lot etc. Because you don't have to warm up the engine, and you aren't far from a plug, you could use these to just reposition the trailers. Also, y

> Requiring a UTF-8 BOM just destroys the happy planned property that ASCII-is-UTF8. Why spoil that good work? So that you know you are dealing with UTF-8. Assuming ASCII only works if you are only dealing with English texts and data.

Hmm, that seems like a mistake because C allows for instruction compression with low cost to decode that is perfect for embedded use which is a big part of the RISC-V usage now. That said, if they implemented C, and then had their replaceme

> They are going to split the RISC V ecosystem. Part of the DNA of RISC-V is to provide a basis from which a million flowers can bloom. Instead of homebrewing, you can reuse RISC-V and make tweaks as you need... if you really do need a c

I mean, I think that is the problem with "insurance" vs "coverage". "Insurance" is about pooling unlikely but costly risk, like getting hit by a meteorite. Unlikely, it happens, but there will be head trauma, C

Speeding tickets aren't the worst because they are in principle disputable, but they are present and real. SEC fines are so rare and late they aren't a real deterrent. Speeding tickets are regular and actually paid and a deterrent

The problem is that what is profitable is marking the case as reviewed. What is needed is skin in the game. Misdiagnosis should have financial penalties like speeding tickets otherwise the optimal most capital-effective solution is a rubber

This sounds like the perfect case for crowd founding. The community would likely support it. I bet some industry partners would support it. If you had a reasonable team capable throw it up there. $1M means 3 people at $330k, that seems feas

I think of as tragically a BBC ase of oversupply. We have more people than we can employ in meaningful tasks that can generate enough to pay for a comfortable life. This is the Malthusian correction in action, and a pretty gentle one at tha

In a relevant story, yes. Linus mentions his investment in Framework in each video it comes up. If they had already said it in this thread they'd I'd give it a pass.

If you are affiliated with Framework you should disclose how in your comment.

No, because the license. If you release code as FooOSS please will remain as FooOSS. With a CLA the company that owns it can also offer it as a different license. If you don’t sign the CLA, you can offer it as a different license… But rega

Yes. If some people get more, other people will ask for more and the company can't ^H^H^H^H won't afford that, so better to lose a few individuals than pay everyone more. So, if you're a project manager, you sometimes need to

I do find this exciting about RISC-V is that we might have something that is both simple and teachable, and with enough extensions usable. I first learned to program on an obscure Pascal-derivative language, but now you can start with Pytho

Yes, but if you can't recall the number by heart it's not really that useful as a number.

I honestly think the part of open-source that matters most is that it really has no compliance. Free to download is good enough. The fact that you can just download it and use it and don't need to go through legal cannot be understated

That it did. I can assure you that in the 80's when I was first learning about computers no one thought that a kilobyte was 1,000 vs 1,024... that said right now, without looking it up I cannot tell you how much a megabyte is so perha
