Just 10,000 visitors per day on a 64 core machine with 256GB of RAM? If were per minute (or even hour ) it would make sense, otherwise, it seems poorly designed.

"Build systems", like the GNU one (autoconf/automake/libtool/etc), cmake, or others, theoretically "solve" the need of your project build in a newer/different platforms. However, in practice, in a new

Agile methodology reminds me Asimov's "Reason" (short story), in this case, poor management methods masking the whip behind a ridiculous religion/faith plus some "gamification".

Naomi Klein is specialist in what? In my opinion she is just specialist in agitprop.

Yes. That's the point.

Why hackers attack that hard Sony and not other companies? Or they don't spend enough in securing their systems?

In my opinion, current process handling is braindead, both in POSIX and Windows. That could be "fixed" with an additional unique identifier during the OS uptime, in order to allow other processes track instances, and not just the

My guess is that Spanish media pushed Spanish government for getting a "compensation" like the French publishers got -or will get- (60 € million) because of Google News operating in France. Google said, no, and then, the Spanish N

Well, BSD sockets don't use file abstraction. Plan 9 recovered "Unix philosophy" in that regard. In my opinion.

“There are two major products that came from Berkeley: LSD and Unix. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.” Unix came from Bell Labs in the East Coast. Californian Unix is just a non-elegant derivative, in my opinion (e.g. BSD soc

Four times? You can expect the C/C++ version (with some SIMD intrinsics) to run 10-30x faster than the JIT-optimized JS version.

Any Linus rant about how Objective-C sucks? :-)

In my opinion, C++ exceptions should be avoided.

In this case, even with the preprocessor and using "indent", the code is non-understandable. It requires a huge effort of deobfuscation (operator precedence mess, re-"macrofy" the code -as after expansion is very redunda

I did. Do you know the software license of the original code? edit: P.S. working deobfuscation, i.e. you can build the executable. Including some minor corrections to the orgininal (e.g. 1MB of RAM allocation instead 2MB, BIOS file size lim

Why not? Both Apple and Nintendo have shown puritanism and obsession with content control.

This is ridiculous. There are already similar tables from China using AllWinner A10/A13 SoC with similar prices on volume (ARM Cortex A8 @1GHz, ARM Mali GPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB flash, etc.). My bet is that they are doing anything but buying in

No way. Even with equal-efficient code, there is an additional point that is often ignored: Data structures are way more simple in C, with less overhead, and with higher cache-hit ratio, because more data fits in CPU data cache. As example,

First of all, your proyect is OK as is, I respect your criteria, of course. My point in that regard was about the 3GHz requirement was because of the implementation, mainly, not because accuracy requirement. I bet 2-4x faster is possible, w

by faragon 14y ago
In my opinion, is slow. And I bet you -or others- have room for increase performance by 2-4x in next years. Even without SIMD intrinsics (autovectorization-friendly code is OK, though), but with proper data structure usage, better code L1 c

Thank you for the answer, byuu. Don't get me wrong, your emulator is great, and I apreciate very much your commitment with open source. I simply pointed about the Nesticle patches were not necessary for speeding up the emulation, and that 3

Yes, I did, version 089 ( http://bsnes.googlecode.com/files/bsnes_v089.tar.xz ). Is clean and well written C++, but in addition to the accuracy, I see a problem in the emulation itself: templates, data structures, L1 data cache usage, synch
