Not quite the rod logic [0] processor I expected from the headline, but pretty cool! [0] https://youtu.be/ORjyXcLDd9M?t=1536

Would be pretty awesome if Perl called wordexp(3) somewhere along this code path

That's the first thing I'd try, multiply by 10^digits, round, divide by 10^digits. Thanks for the link.

That's what round(3) is for

This company, and others, got a ton of public money, subsidies and tax breaks back in the Workers' Party days, when the country was swimming in oil money. Ostensibly it was an effort to create world players (or "national champions

My (perhaps naive) understanding is that, for Spectre to be truly exploitable, an attacker must be able to execute code locally (I know of the JS POC but there are browser mitigations). But if an attacker has an account in my system I'

Yeah, builds on my i7 Linux laptop are noticeably faster with Spectre mitigations disabled. Pretty sad that mitigations against a largely theoretical attack hurt performance for everyone. Meanwhile people continue to open e-mail attachments

Yeah, I remember some green threads libraries based on longjmp/setjmp.

I don't understand this view that "everything is political". How can can a discussion on e.g. C++20 coroutines be political?

Interestingly, it could also be argued that the breakneck economic growth that some Asian countries went through (in the case of Japan, at least until the 1990s) can be partially attributed to their high savings rate. [0] [0]: https:/

People who bought the Nikkei index in the early 1990s are still waiting for the correction to end...

Not in the US nor have a large $$$ position, but as someone who dabbles a bit in options trading on the side, I've got to say: this volatility is great.

Ah, didn't know that, just checked out the Wikipedia page. Thanks.

About the first question, UltraSPARC has been open source for a while. You can even download the Verilog code. We haven't seen any UltraSPARC-based processors, so I don't see why they would use this.

Yeah. I was expecting something about C++, but the article is mostly about Win32 dynamic linking issues.

This topic is already dead, but you asked a direct question so I'll bite. Many of the old buildings in downtown Sao Paulo used to have ads on their sides. Renting space for ads provided extra income for these buildings that was sometim

By now that paint has probably peeled off and is covered with ugly graffiti. This is how it actually looks like: https://img.jovempan.uol.com.br/uploads/2017/04/2021588876-p...

You'll get downvoted but it's true. Anyone who thinks a city is better off without the visual pollution of billboards and LED signs has obviously never been to downtown Sao Paulo.

Fertility rates have been decreasing rapidly all over the developing world. For instance, in Brazil it went from over 5 to around 1.7 in just 50 years. It has decreased so much that that country's very generous public pension system, c

Just did and found a talk by a Huawei researcher about optimizing CPU designs for certain OS operations (instead of the other way around). Pretty interesting, thank you.
