It seems like SVM turns on and off with the extensions KVM (AMD-V) uses in my gigabyte motherboard for a Ryzen 7. All the TPM related functions (including PSP/AMD SP) are another separate option called "AMD CPU fTPM", and are

A 42S that a high school friend had was how I first learned about RPN and HP calculators. Bought a 48G soon after which I still have. I use the prime app on android now which works well when needed.

Atlanta has Georgia Tech but would need to build public transport, picking Baltimore would let them be near the Acela corridor. Baltimore might be a safe bet methinks. Austin, Denver, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, would almost be shoe-in

To add a couple more things: Oracle has been developing ZFS sans open source for the past few years as well, which means they've stopping caring about OpenZFS and/or have lost the right to. Canonical, Debian and SFLC have really d

I think the Sun leadership at the time wanted ZFS to be on Linux up to the point of licensing it under the GPL. The employees wanted a more BSD-like license[1], so that's the correct context under which you can look at how Solaris was

I think we know what Sun wanted, they wanted to make money from Opensolaris and ZFS by building a community around it and selling services and products around it. After a decade, all that's left now is the source code, and if Oracle wa

And failing. A patent troll is a patent troll. There is nothing stopping Linux from mainlining ZFS at the source level apart from kernel developers reluctance to give into "layering violations." Somebody can correct me if I'm

by ece 9y ago
This seems like FUD, people have analyzed the licensing, and the openzfs project is independent of any company. Would you say OpenJDK was murky? I don't think so. https://blog.hansenpartnership.com/are-gplv2-and-cddl-in

ZFS would have been mainlined into Linux much earlier if it had been someone like Google who had bought Sun. Now, Google is pushing into hardware and deploying POWER9 servers. Not to mention the lawsuits with Oracle could have been avoided

Joyent was definitely ahead of the game, hopefully Samsung is better at acquisitions than Oracle.

I think the key words are "reentrant function" which in the context means atomic, pure functions. He didn't say something about OO, like DI or multiple inheritance in a some clean way, or something about classes or structs. T

If the EU or US regulators can force Google and Microsoft to unbundle and provide APIs, surely unbundling chipsets fit in the same category. Making chipsets was a successful business for quite a few companies, too bad the FTC didn't fo

Thank you for the links. Here is FTC's ruling against Intel from 2010: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2010/08/ftc-s... Seems like they mention chipsets, but didn't go far enough

The consumer market might be small, but the enterprise market would be what it is. I can't imagine openbmc being more expensive than a builtin wifi card with an external antenna connector for basic features. Features like RDP would be

by ece 9y ago
That is not an apples to apples comparison. Plenty of features differ from motherboard to motherboard. Someone like an ASUS could adopt openbmc much easier if an alternative chipset existed. I'm not arguing about the marketability of o

What happened to 3rd party chipsets? Seems like VIA, ALi, SiS, Nvidia nForce, all stopped making them for Intel processors around 2008. If there were alternative chipsets still around, we would see more motherboard makers adopting something

by ece 9y ago
Wouldn't it just take a motherboard maker or two to find an alternative to the PCH, like Nvidia nforce or a VIA chipset. adopt something like openbmc and sell it as an open feature? No intel PCH, no Intel ME. Seems like the Linux kerne

It's a pretty good treatment. I think the solving the root cause would be something like a constant time compiler, which I don't think is going to happen. You don't need to mock at all if you do DI and modularity well in Guic

For web development, yes. Once you know pretty much what you want, and have a good idea of how you're going to go about implementing it, it can be fast. If you're new, don't know what you want, and are starting out on a frame

A good IDE will go a long way here. Any of the IntelliJ IDEs are interactive in almost any aspect of technical coding. Setting up and running a test is a left click, if you've written the function and annotated it in Scala. I've b

TDD can help with this. I more often than not, will write a unit test or functional test first, then work on the code for that test where I'm just running that one test until it succeeds. After I have individual parts working, I will i
