Well, as a kid of the era that had an XT, it really kicked off with Wolfenstein on the 286. Doom changed a lot more, but everyone was pissed at the time if they couldn’t play Wolfenstein. Never felt that way for any of the previous games fo

Many compilers and runtimes support them just fine. CPUs don’t really support them, with the exception of POWER. The dirty little secret (use case measurement), however, is that Intel’s software library on x86-64 is faster than POWER’s inst

This kind of software is what I lump into the category of "just give me regular expressions". There's so many interfaces that would be simplified by (hard!) standardizing textual abbreviations and providing something powerful

Is there data behind that claim? The Bloomberg Terminal uses up to four and they are not strictly acronyms — sure, WEI is “World Economic Indices”, but TOP is “Top News” and OMON is “Options Monitor”. Four opens up a much wider range of pos

My favorite fd limit isn’t this one — it’s the default limit of 256 on Solaris for fopen(), etc. Unless you compile differently you only get 256 in a 32-bit app. Backwards compatibility to the grave...

It is the main processor, tying together a number of hardened FPGAs. They’re also old, but the point is they can be reprogrammed from Earth to do whatever NASA needs.

Bad data, code, or both? It is not 76% short. Are you going to go to fundamentals and verify each raw and derived data point from the feed you consume much like you would a news source?
