Really modern AMD processors will work in rr. AArch64 support is pretty experimental still. But any Core or Xenon Intel processor you bought in the last 8 or 9 years should work. Also if you have trouble please file issues!

"Some people had antibodies that react with SARS-CoV2 prior to January 2020" isn't great evidence that the virus itself was present prior to 2020. There's some amount of cross-reactivity between antibodies to other human

Should we really be allowing James Bond movies to choose where we spend our scientific resources? Just in the telescope domain the James Webb Space Telescope should finally launch next year and if it works will be an enormous step forwards.

Generally when you see <optimized out> it really is because the compiler didn't emit location entry for that variable at that point in the program. There's plenty of stuff in DWARF that gdb/etc doesn't make a lot o

If you don't take the "rushed vaccine" you don't need any legal recourse so what's the problem again?

MSRs are called "registers" sure but you can't actually perform any operations on them other than a load or a store, and you can't use them to stash random data outside of main memory because they affect the operation of

While I agree that we should have moved faster, even if you approved a vaccine candidate in days it's not clear who you'd vaccinate in a targeted campaign to "complete prevent" the pandemic. Being able to produce vast qu

There never was a space shuttle sitting around ready to launch on-demand though. A 2 hour travel time is irrelevant if it takes weeks to prep for the mission. The space shuttle could also only land at a handful of runways on the planet.

I obviously don't know the details of what you were doing but it's generally easier to implement the gdbserver protocol than to implement ptrace itself.

When you realize this was all a political scam to make the Republican (ex-)governor of Wisconsin look good it makes perfect sense.

Heh, during the early days of the pandemic when there were shortages these 1 lb blocks turned up at my grocery in California marketed as "chefs size" and I loved them.

People really love the aesthetics of having lots of vegetation near their homes, even if it does make them death traps in a wildfire. Mill Valley had an enormous fight last year about an ordinance to require 3 feet of defensible space. Ge
