A monolithic kernel and resource locators that automatically mount network drives? That's just macOS. (You don't have to recompile the kernel if you put all the device drivers in it, just keep the object files around and relink it

Noone made any money or got any oil from the Iraq War. The US is an oil exporter and doesn't have any oil contracts in Iraq. In fact, no one makes money from any wars, and defense contractors profit less during wartime than peacetime.

No they haven't, they're just trying to show off by running older processes with high failure rates very hard to make it look like they can keep up. We're not giving them EUV and they can't reinvent it, so they're s

The two pieces of advice I remember for a WWDC-style talk are 1. You haven't practiced enough. Practice more. 2. If you think you're talking too slowly, slow down even more. (Can't tell you why it's worded like that.)

One thing I always notice about this kind of post is that it never only has one accusation of oppressing a demographic group. There's always three of them at once. Makes it feel lightweight I think.

So, the way to "use die area for performance" is to add more cache and branch predictor space. Because of this, anything that costs a lot of code size does consume it because it's using the cache up.

Garbage disposal is also remarkably hard in Japan, maybe understandable since they don't have anywhere to put it. Instead of the famous Japanese customer service, residential garbage requires you to sort it, put it in transparent bags,
