The chip has quasi-compiler that compiles stream of assembler instructions into uops and dispatches it onto various parts to run, often in parallel. That part is driven via microcode (kind of like firmware) and fixes in that can fix some C

The difference that at same level of let's say "UB bugs in code", C++ code will compile, Rust will not. So person learning C++ will start producing code quicker even if their level of competence will produce more buggier co

> You can discriminate against white people because they are white, but that's different than racism. That's racism. I think you're just trying to excuse your own racism here.

You seem to conflate "good" with "cheap"; particle board is "just" cheap, it's not good. Plywood will be stronger, lighter, and deal better with humidity, it is "better" as material on pretty muc

Yup, difference to the engineer is minuscule. It's getting traction coz chip companies don't want to pay ARM for licensing, not because it is particularly better at something.

I find it depends heavily onto the task. Some let's say "organizational" work (moving stuff around, adding new machines to cluster etcetera) that just requires to be done but not "hard"? Can do for hours, will get a

US stupidity it seems. From what I managed to google two reasons I saw was "coz they might hit shrubbery" and "some states dont require plates on front of the car"(WTF) "and if you back in police can't see them

I just assume one of 2 reasons: * there is a wall and they need to pack/unpack something from the boot. * they are incompetent at parking. I don't buy "I wanted to save a bit of time now", backing up doesn't take al

Yeah angled spaces help but head-in is pretty much just "well, there is wall in front and I need to load groceries" case for me

I really feel that's this is just inherent to async/await model, you can only put so much lipstick on a pig. Light threads + messaging (whether proper like Erlang or bastardized like Go) feels like far superior model for concurren

Personally I think keeping it low level but predictable would be far saner approach. App knows what it want to do with data, filesystem can't. Just trimming all of the inconsitencies (especially the "fun" around sync and cach

That does seem like interesting avenue. Just present blog as single user site then allow federated comments, with maybe some banlist if you get some unsavory commenters. Tho that gets to the same problem as we had already - nothing stopping

I mean that's just "write the blog/activitypub in something that's not RoR or other just as slow stack". "Just" that. With SQLite and maybe a tiny bit of caching you can also get "no external DB deps&

Markdown really seems like more sensible target for the "microblogging" than text or HTML. All the formatting you need for even a proper blogpost, readable plaintext, with extensions can even be pretty useful for programming stuff

Both. It lived off an assumption that the magic compiler generating perfect assembly ideally fitting architecture will come out, and so CPU can skip the whole "crap" related to assigning incoming instruction stream to CPU's e

All it takes for Apple to be open is for consumers to put the money where their mouth is and be loud about it. Which didn't happen, so it isn't. Give it a year of lower than usual profits and some twitter complaints and they will

Well, tech-competent people mostly survived that without scratch so they want same experience of actually owning machine today as they had 10 years ago. The push for containerization and sandboxing is in right direction if user have contro
