Rackspace? Wooowww. Tonight I’m going to party like it’s 1999.

From my perspective, the Internet is strung together by a bunch of micro services - DNS here, email there, etc. etc. And that seems to work. They even seem to work together for the most part. I'm surprised that there have been all thes

I like how it has a suitably ASML price as well.

It certainly sounds like sea of cores. Didn’t intel get their arses handed to them trying this?

Strange things are afoot at the circle k.

Almost as an aside the article makes an interesting point: memory accesses can block. Presumably if it blocks because it's accessing a piece of hardware the operating system schedules another thread on that core ... but what if it bloc

It says "the issue is that VMLOAD/VMSAVE support is being wrongly advertised on the Zen 4 client processors". Is the advertising of support not the responsibility of the chip itself?

So another patch to fix a hardware problem. Great.

Yep.

We now have historians investigating things that happened in my lifetime. Not sure if this is awesome or not.

So why does instancing suck? I would have thought it would be heavily optimised in the driver...

Wait, C programmers now put the star on the left hand side? char* thing; // good char *thing; // bad This ... is awesome. As a C++ "native" I've always found the "star on the right" thing to be r

Can someone explain what a "line card" is that a network card isn't?

Exactly. It has to save me an hour to be worth it. Unfortunately, I can't see this saving me an hour.

There's a big difference between spinning up your own fab and unscrewing the back of the pager to see if there's a bomb in it.

Heh. There's a ... kinda major ... sailing competition taking place just down the road from you right now. Might want to go check it out?

This is a golden age of something.

I have a (second hand) one of these. The trackpad is a travesty. Borderline unusable.

So the "power distribution network" bit is a big pile of standard components? Is this what you get if you show up with a big pile of verilog and say "print this"? Why do the other bits looks different?

Working on visualising sailing performance by scooping data out of the onboard network (basically the same as the one in cars) and uploading it to a web app. https://www.see-sailing.com/ My race yesterday: https:/&#x2

That website needs to be taken out and shot.

Yeah, that's a savage bastard too. 48MHz, DMA, UART, I2C, SPI, a sleep mode ... 16KB flash and 2KB ram. Certainly enough to run something with a UI, probably enough to implement a basic software defined radio, could probably do some ne

I see these $miniscule microcontrollers are being more or less the end of the road for ASIC's, apart from those that have high performance requirements. Like you say - with 1kb "rom" and 48 whole bytes of ram you can make a T
