It's an indicator that they think they'll be able to feed more of their greed with $1 of gold than $1 of something else. Nothing fundamental about gold that links it to greed, just it's value and return. So yes, it tells you

The last one that made the rounds here ended up being carefully cut to give a specific impression (and the initial presented commentary straight up lies), and when the "full story" came out it turned out to be a lot less "sim

But modern CPUs have even more capabilities on re-ordering/OOO execution and other "live" scheduling work. They will always have more information available than a ahead-of-time static scheduling from the compiler, as so muc

Really "Illegal" immigrants are often a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction - pretty much a rounding error in budgets. But naturally blown up for Politics. It's not actually particularly nice to live illegally.

It still supports display out through UEFI framebuffer, so it's technically usable, just you likely wouldn't want it as a daily driver.

Also the US reserves the right to demand ID if you're within 100 miles of a border - which is effectively 2/3 of the population. And detain you until your status can be "verified", however long that could take. That sho

Yes - VLIW seems to lend itself to computation-heavy code, used to this day in many DSP (and arguably GPU, or at least "influences" many GPU) architectures.

It doesn't currently have any GPU support (for example) - even for a pretty simple desktop CPU rendering is rather incompatible with battery life or performance in a laptop form factor.

That's no guarantee it would succeed though - AMD64 also cleaned up a number of warts on the x86 architecture, like more registers. While I suspect the Intel equivalent would do similar things, simply from being a big enough break it&#

But GPUs are a depreciating asset - if there's a bubble burst and your 5 million GPUs are idle for the next few years before demand picks up again, they'll be pretty outdated and of limited use. Infrastructure tends to have much l

Because a single community is a greater whole? There's other things in the kernel that Android-focused developers work on, and forcing them to a fork raises the barrier to merge their work into the mainline.

And I'm not sure about their ability to release said code under a different license either. Postgres has a pretty permissive license, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore it.

That is true if you have something like an ongoing green card petition. However, if it's just an H1B, by the time it's approved and can transfer it, there's not really a "line" anymore. Though there's pretty ha

No, but many languages already have limitations like "strings live on the heap", even many discussed in this thread. Dynamically sized objects on the stack has always been difficult. You could argue that C special casing fixed le

There's plenty of C string libraries with opaque types. No reason why a similar thing can't be done there.

From what I remember a lot of the code provided by Microsoft was not publicly available or permissively licensed. Though I think a lot of it might be considered "Legacy" - it still existed.

Yup - at some level of scale it's very much an infrastructure game. No amount of trade war politics will make up for a lack in infrastructure investment.

The open source release of amdvlk has never been buildable for windows as all the required Microsoft integration stuff has to be stripped out before release. So at best it'll be of limited utility for a reference, I can see why they mi
