I find this kinda confusing, seeing how there's a link [0] to the "Talos II" Power 9 workstation 'pre-announcement' page (or whatever polite folks are calling vapourware these days) here today as well. [0] https:&#

I was thinking more of a minimum reasonable (or perhaps plausible) configuration of actual Z system hardware.

Every time I see something on these mainframes I'm filled with the idle curiosity about what the minimum quanta of a Z system might really be.

Hey thanks for the response. I am not a sparc developer, so I can't really point you in the right direction with any certainty. I did a quick web search for the buzzwords they were using in the HotChips presentation ("Software in

I may be way off base with this thought but I can't help but ask the question anyways. Back in last year's HotChips conference Oracle spent a fair bit of time talking up new hardware capabilities targeting databases and their new

If it helps I used the treatment program outlined in the "sinclair method" which I found online and bought his book off Amazon. In the country I now live in, using Naltrexone in this way isn't exactly unheard of but it was d

After struggling with alcoholism for decades I used Naltrexone to stop drinking five or six years ago. It wasn't a simple taper but when I had my last drink it was easier to walk away from than anything I could have ever imagined befo

I picked up universe sandbox recently and I struggle to construct simple binary star systems with a few planets.

Actually that's more interesting than not-really-unikernel thing he was thinking about.

I have to wonder what's going to happen once those storage level random access non-vol memory technologies finally make it out of R&D and into the market. I mean, as it is now it seems like we have a hard enough time dealing with c

Back in 2013 or so HotChips had a presentation from some dude from DARPA about chip development at and after the end of Moore's law scaling. It probably was the most prophetic tech talk I've ever seen. Your comment could essenti

I'm as much of fan of Ivan and the Mill as anyone else but this talk is from 2013. I think the title should be altered to reflect that. Unfortunately the previous submissions of this talk didn't generate any discussion so there&#

> Someone, obviously, cares. They took the time to port it. Yeah, and I have to figure that with Swift being Apple's darling right now that there's the opportunity to attract more interest from idle developers that otherwise wo

The title sounds interesting but there is no abstract available so I'm left wondering what exactly we can discuss. Edit: My mistake I missed the original publication date of back in the 70's and was under the false impression tha

As far as I can tell there is more than just HP's memristor based storage level, random access, non-vol memory technologies stuck in R&D pipelines right now. Eventually (or perhaps hopefully) they'll make it to market and I t

I've read this as well and from a number of sources.

Given how I keep seeing ever larger Nutella containers I half expect them to begin selling it in 30 litre barrels.

This should probably have the date of publication in the title as it's fairly old.

From my perspective and usage Treesheets has the right features and more importantly the right scale and learning curve. I don't use it every day, nor for everything I could possibly do with it... but for the things I do use it for, I

I've also worked with LabView and completely agree with your assessments. I'd also add that line between a simple project which reasonable men might agree that was well suited for LabView and a large project which is destined to e

I'm still using my Mac Pro from 2008 and a still older 30" cinema display. I really need a new set up but so far I've not found the iMac or Mac Pro offerings really compelling. I'm not really sure I want to sign up for

Yeah, the idea of the books is great... but I doubt I'll ever get around to reading any of them very closely.

I confess that I am really not fan of this person and I find his videos off putting and really difficult to get through. Has anyone come across any other source making similar claims?

As an old dude who went through engineering before networks were a major thing and worked some years on embedded devices, I also find these sorts of articles extremely interesting.

Yeah, BuzzFeed has a frustrating business model. Produce great volumes of worthless clickbait, wrapped with adverts and use the revenue to fund actual legit journalism. Clearly it works to some degree but I expect they're going to str

Absolutely yes. These large open source code bases represent huge value stores for modern civil societies. We're all better off because they exist and we'd do well to promote them.
