There has been a relationship between die area and speed for much of time. That stopped being true. Perhaps it was only a side effect of shorter paths on chip.

Confirmation bias but a very good friend did this: bought back the hail damaged car from the insurer in preference to keeping the undamaged VW Beetle, sold the beetle, has been driving the hail damaged car with the minimum legal insurance t

if you don't believe in market regulations, this is confirming evidence of the distortions of trying to regulate an open market. If you believe in climate change, this is evidence of how the vested interest behind profit in cars manipu

I think its possible. When 128 bits came along, I wondered if the very long instruction word people were going to come back into the room. If we imagine mapping addressing into the world, how about making some rules about top bits addressin

What does economics in die area say about using die for highly repeatable simple memory forms, vs complex instruction/ALU? I would think there is a balance point between more cores, and faster cores with more cache and more lanes betwe

Surgeons also police membership, it's an old school guild. We could have many more sugeons, if the restrictive practices were changed. I don't think this answers your fundamental point btw, I think musician==surgeon is only analo

More parallelism. Less clock. More l1 cache per CPU and less disk stalls. Are there plenty of tricks in the sea, when clockspeed goes flat? Dual ported TCAM memory isn't getting faster and we've got to 1,000,000 prefixes in the in

Surely for most time, musicians have been working class. And precarious? I'm not arguing in favour, I'm noting the deep historical social worth of a musician. It's classic veblen goods for a few, and serfdom for the rest. Com

Mrs Norris is also superbly well personified. She knows the worth of a roll of green baize. Her life and livelihood depends on it.

Aha! Mansfield Park has been my favourite, since the 1980s. Most Austen fans seem to dislike it, and see the central character as weak and insipid. But, I see it as about code switching and timidity, she's clearly an introvert being bu

This will ultimately become restrictive employment related, and be used to prevent staff exchanges between FAANG. Ie, borderline illegal.

The bit at the end where they are pulled out of line at boarding was very confusing. If they were conducted back out of secure space to public space, "next minute I was aboard" short circuits re-entry to secure space. I think the

I think this gets to the heart of what third party/alternate gui style means. Either we abstract the control elements to a common core and then what we call them, and their main points can change, but they are understood in metaform fo

This story goes to the heart of "moral rights" -irrespective of IPR law, recognition of the artists was key to the author and I like that. The proustian childhood regained part, that's very relatable. Sometimes a Madeline is

I am unsure why you have been down voted because fundamentally your point is correct. Health is a fully regulated space, and no entity should be supplying medical products without adherence to requirements appropriate to their role. Compoun

This is a continuing relationship. When Britain showed it was within an inch of a viable independent ICBM with Black Knight/Blue Streak, the US agreed to share polaris. The condition was ending independent production of competing tech.

No. I only say it because people often have heightened expectations of public interest services, and regrettably this is the one time I think it really matters to understand nobody can entirely hide your surface of visibility, despite the b

Yes. Some time ago. Circumstances took me to TrueNAS Core BSD flavour which is regrettably retrograde, and I am about to rejoin the cleaner experience but the transition is .. scary. Making a smaller kernel is off to one side of my main int

Never played with kernel mods via packages but very tempted to start. I have hopes of a path to a radically smaller kernel and loadables for the things not integrated by default. The end would be a path to a kernel Makefile specifying the m

I like this, and respect the craft which went into making it. I still think an immersive 3D model you can interact with may be more functional to illustrate mechanisms. The room of clockwork/ratchet mechanisms in "Musee des arts e

Absolutely the best fictional story of the genre. Lovingly made, with nuance and some sadness: Diana Rigg, real life mother of Rachael Stirling, (who was cast as her daughter in this series) died during its later series, reflected in plots.
