It depends on the app — mirroring is the default, but apps can do smarter things as well. See for example the NYT crossword app.

CFD benefits from cache, but it benefits even more from sustained memory bandwidth, no? A small(ish) chunk of L3 + two channels of DRAM is not going to compete with a quarter as much L3 plus eight channels of DRAM when typical working set s

Several processors support this by effectively locking cache lines. At the low end, it allows a handful of fast interrupt routines without dedicated TCM. At the high end, it allows boot ROMs to negotiate DRAM links in software, avoiding bot

The Power4 MCM had 128 MB cache in 2001. The G4 TiBook sold the same year came with 128 MB of system RAM base, and OS X supported 64 MB configurations for a few years after this.

There’s a bunch of old Fortran stuff I use regularly (AVL, XFoil), but that’s all X, not Wayland, and XQuartz has worked great for decades.

If you just want a potato chip you also need to buy the packaging. It’s documentation is also lacking.

I think this list is lacking without the iPod Socks. Clearly the highest rank textile product Apple ever sold, which has to put it somewhere on the master list, no?

by addaon 7mo ago
In the same sense that potato chips are not a Lay’s product, because you can’t buy a potato chip, only a bag of them, and it’s not reasonable to assess the chip independently from the packaging in which it is sold, so the packaged chip is t

Consider a function like ‘match regex str’. While non-lazy languages may offer an alternate API for pre-compiling the regex to speed up matching, partial evaluation makes that unnecessary.

High quality for their time. The toilet bowl was very heavy for its screen size, and had minimal volume for battery. The G3 iBook lacked rigidity, and had a tendency to damage the mainboard if picked up from a corner. The G4 iBook had groun

I usually want to capture a window, not an arbitrary region (and will sometimes resize a window before a screenshot to enable this). Hotkeys already supported this without cropping needed, and with bonus proper transparent corners.

As discussed elsewhere, the law says (a) or (b). Both of which lead to a bankrupt company, and maximum possible recovery for customers. Which seems like the best possible outcome for dealing with a company that sells 100% faulty product, no

Is the M5 Max the first laptop with significantly more memory bandwidth than the M1 Max? Looks like about a 20% jump… might finally be time to re-benchmark CFD workloads.

But using a browser (or a VM) buys into the fallacy that your customers across different platforms (Windows, Mac, etc) want the same product. They’re already distinguished by choosing a different platform! They have different aesthetics, di

The article is about how setting up /Android/ phones is a nightmare. Contrasting it to my experience setting up iPhones is… dramatic.

I do not think Faulkner would write very good C++ library documentation. I would read the hell out of Joyce’s Perl 5 documentation, but only after six or seven beers.

There’s enough satellites in Sun-synchronous orbit (97-ish degree inclination) that polar coverage should be pretty good by now, I’d imagine. The gap from the big guns (GEO and MEO) is more than made up by LEO.

I’m pretty sure that the state of the art right now is firing the pastries on a ballistic arc in hard vacuum and hitting them mid-trajectory with a laser pulse to cook them through.

See the other replies — think physical units. An aircraft velocity is a three-vector, but not all three vectors are aircraft velocity. There are probably many different aircraft velocity types, but taking a typical one (NED alignment, mm&#x

Pretty much everyone is on 300 mm wafers for everything now, and has been for a while. Are you perhaps reading this as 300 nm process (which would usually be called 0.3 micron)?

I think a challenge to me for typing assembly, unless you’re doing old-school C style minimally-useful types, is that assembly types tend to be both more ad hoc and more transient than types in higher level languages, because these types co

The ICE40s start well under $2 even in moderate quantities. They’re 3V3, not 5V0, but for most applications these days that’s an advantage.

If you weren't accounting for earth's rotation, why would points on the equator have a larger difference to earth's center?

Which Boeing incident? The 737 Max was a correct implementation of bad requirements -- there's no indication of a code quality problem here. Starliner definitely had more indications of code issues, but was not an aircraft.

C's a great language in 1985, and a great starting point. But development of UI software is one of those areas where object oriented software really shines. What if we could get all the advantages of C as a procedural language, but gra
