The thing is if business raises their prices because of these reasons do you think they will lower them once the problem goes away? Maybe in some industries/categories where there is a lot of equivalent goods and is competitive. Howeve

Good to hear, what I find more inserting was the case the plaintiff referenced. The fact a court ruled modifying code in memory is copyright infringement is sad.

An other thing does not help is how some sites gate content from being scraped. Also forums are not as popular today again reducing the amount of indexable content. Think about some sites have migrated from using forums to something like di

Which is just bad policy, not everywhere is urban. Even in an urban area with generally good emergency services that is not a guarantee 100% of the time. For instance some reason 911 could be down. Ambulances could be short if there is some

Honestly, for network code it makes more sense when the data is received to add the time to the current era. A 64 bit timestamp is an extra 4 bytes of overhead. However, the biggest issue with a network protocol is you just can't force

I wish I could. Kinda hard to block billboards or screens showing ads that you don't own.

Basically rubber hose crypto analysis, but is there any evidence of this? The article makes no mention of it. Like the could have also seized is electronic devices and just found a copy of the key somewhere.

Not the op your responding too, but If this bit of of code is gonna run many billions of time it could very well be worth that cost.

GloFlo is still doing some pretty cutting edge stuff for specialized processes. There is more to semi-conductors than just the highest density.

The thing is with those disabled aspects of AMD gpus, AMD is not trying to sell it to you later. Also it could have been disabled because it was faulty when testing so binned differently or just to meet unit numbers for a SKU. Thing is you

Those numbers would be if you compile without the RORX instruction. K-HASH: 26 instructions https://godbolt.org/z/s3f13nGdG Your-ARX: 48 instructions (even with rorx) https://godbolt.org/z/cv6PeohP

I will add that 32 bit version compiles quite nicely on arm. It's also what made me try something with this structure. https://godbolt.org/z/abd79sEh1 As for x86/x86_64 processors compiling with a flag like -

VHDLs type system is pretty rock solid it’s based off Ada after all. Which if you have looked at in any detail its a great type system! I dont like the begin end style syntax and some the verbosity that entails with VHDL. However, I would r

VHDL and Verilog both have industry support. VHDL is much better if I had to pick one though. It seems to be though a lot the open source stuff seems to pick Verilog for some reason. Most commercial tools support both HDLs.

I was gonna say something similar. VHDL’s type system for starters is way better (thanks to it being based off Ada) While not a big fan of the begin end style syntax, it definitely is better than verilog in my experience. I find interesting

While for most things density is good. However if you can have a certain task take advantage of this insane switching frequency there could be reasons to build a room or multi-room sized specialized computer. Not everything needs to be tiny

I did look at the paper too so not sure why you need to just re-post an excerpt, and that is basically what I said. Like they said more than half of the families of algorithms they looked at basically are at a stand still.

Slow I can tell you that! Unless its an open problem that no one is sure on yet. And you get lots of optimizations for a certain class/subtype of that problem. Alot ground work has already been laid down. Also most the times when an al

Ughh don't trust the client! Why do games use bs like anti-cheat instead of running stuff server side. Anti-cheat is spyware/malware in my opinion.

So your saying basically they basically did the equivalent of this colloquialism: "If you can't win, change the rules" Just to increase citation count of their own papers. That does sound pretty dodgy.

What about FPGA's it's a chip capable of decoding any data sent across a network and correcting errors! /s I guess the clever part here with this algorithm is that it tries to figure error correction automatically instead of
