You're confusing DRAM and CPUs - CPUs almost only use static SRAM cells internally which don't require refresh

Nor this one: https://authors.library.caltech.edu/43698/1/25YearsAgo.pdf It was the original paper for this that got me interested in building silicon tools

Yes, we're stuck with that, at least for old protocols

Back when the Spanish had driven the Moors south monks were picking over the wonderful libraries they had left behind, one of the treasures they discovered was what we now call arabic numbers - but they screwed up, they took the numbers as

Here in New Zealand we've ditched checks as a payment method, bank transfers have been the norm for paying bills for years now.

I have to disagree - I ported v6 and v7 (and system III/V/etc ) - at the time we called them 'MMU's - we distinguished between a a pdp11 "base and bounds" MMU a "SUN style" SRAM based MMU (with fixed

I don't think we even know that it's "fast spreading" yet. It's just different enough to have set off various scientist's personal danger detectors. The thing is that mutations probably occur all the time, most

The "shavers only" socket seems to be available world wide - my favorite is the Chinese universal (I'm the proud owner of such a power strip I use when travelling) I'm talking about #12 here https://www.plugso

I'm afraid the two I can think of have non-publicly available data sheets: one is a cablecrypto device, the other a SLIC. The SLIC is the one with the daisy chain - they want to be able to build phone systems with a SLIC for every slot

As the GP points out the problem you're up against is the tooling - to be mainstream a new language needs to be supported by the main commercial ASIC tool chains - synopsys/cadence/etc, the tools from each of the FPGA, as wel

In my experience has been that there exist essentially 2 types of SPI, one addressable by CS, the other (more i2c-like) by the first byte (CS still required to frame the transactions. I'm working with one of the latter type at the mome

Yup, the trick though is you want some way to get all the pads balled to roughly the same height - otherwise when you heat it to solder it and the chip floats on the pads one or two may be too high to make contact ... or there's too mu

I've been to Shenzhen and seen (been taught) how they reball BGAs for phones in the markets, none of that futzing about with solder balls - they just clean the pads on the chips, re-tin them, lots of flux, then place the steel pad sten

Does rather gloss over the how aluminium is extracted from Alumina (they use a sacrificial carbon anode, the usual byproduct is ~1kG of CO2 for every 1kG of Al produced)

Some profit taking there - US$2.99 is not NZ$4.49 more like $4.20 - it's not like it costs extra money to NOT ship ads across the Pacific

Given that we traditionally burn him in effigy on a bonfire I'm pretty sure we're celebrating him being caught. As a kid my Catholic neighbour kids were not allowed to celebrate Guy Fawkes night

I think they mean that it grows to the point where it collides with the virtual address space allocated to another block (the stack, a shared library, a mmap'd area etc)
