The economy wasn't important for Brexit but it somehow is for COVID-19, and we're going to sacrifice half a million people (best case). I say bring back the guillotine

Oh gosh I've been using some of these words without even realising they were shortened verlan.

Django has everything a simple CRUD needs built-in, and migrations, which you don't need now, but will need if your project is successful. Highly recommended.

I doubt their numbers are correct. They've fudged them in the past, giving area numbers for the smallest configuration, but performance number for a ridiculously large chip.

Ah makes sense you want to be fast then! Thanks for your answer

Cool post, i wish I could do something similar at work. I'm wondering why you went through the pain of making an HTTP server to process JS files, instead of say putting the temporary file over a ramdisk and running the formatters in pa

Fantastic example of how to structure a real life (ish) application with functional programming. I don't know any F#, but I can see how to apply this to imperative languages and make them easier to debug

That Arab Spring comparison is gross. Opressive governments are making political opponents disappear, use torture, etc. But sure tell me how hard it is to work two more years.

You need to submit a passport picture though. It's probably easier to fake a badly lit picture of a passport than an actual passport though...

Funnily enough the result I got is completely irrelevant: the sentence is "welcome her back to stage".

It's ridiculously easy to write a DoS tool. Let's make DoSing legal then.

I thought all you had to do to get access was to drop piles of money on TSMC lap. Is the access not common?

I wish. This figure is reloading the formal tool after a one line change in the RTL. Placing (not routing!) takes around 24 hours since we need to run in a larger environment than just the block level to get realistic timing reports

I'm so jealous of software development tools. Elaborating the hardware (systemverilog) I'm working on (about a year of work from scratch, nothing fancy) takes 8 minutes.

I like the Firefox approach. Nightly collects a lot of data (because you're a power user that want to improve the browser). Regular release collect a lot less.

What if I meet my goals, and and got raises that I find too small?

So how does this degrade for bigger hash tables? Surely the two loops implementation is less efficient since your cache is trashed by the time you do the second look up

Pointer chasing is very expensive if your chains end up in different cache lines. The bottleneck on a lot of application isn't how fast your instructions run, but how fast you can get data to them.

The sad thing is that it's in android OEM's hands. Add more cache and optimize for fast/efficient cores instead of cheap

Easy to add custom hardware to accelerate the things you care about.

You can add custom memory-mapped hardware though

I'm currently reading "Dark Continent - Europe's Twentieth Century" by Mark Mazower, and I found it thoroughly interesting. It highlights that democracy was absolutely not a clear path for Europe, and why fascism worked.

The AUR is also really cool, no more of "add this dodgy PPA", instead you download a file that allows to install dependencies and compile the original sources. It's more transparent, and if you don't care, you can instal
