If comment was made WRT alleged fit for demanding performance - JIT-ted languages usually can't compete and unpredictable performance could mean unpredictable failures.

With smaller caches and especially L1 you typically want higher associativity. With 32KB L1 at 64B line size, you can only cache 512 lines. Grouping them in larger buckets means less spillage as hot lines randomly end up in the same bucket.

I believe it's usually implemented as user pays standard rate legal fees - court, lawyer fees and maybe some extra. If you choose to hire a super expensive legal team, that's on you.

From an information-theoretic POV, yes, you can squeeze information from less, but the definition I found is based on signal levels not transmission capacity, and it seems to have other notable consequences. AFAICT it's around this poi

Considering there is actual CO₂ consumption (oceans, plants, rocks weathering, synthetic fuel?..), using the full term from the article seems appropriate - consumption emissions. If consumption emissions really decreased 11% from 1990 ->

Many if not most of the embedded/long term systems are implemented in C. If a variable is declared signed, overflowing cases may and often are "optimized" away. IIUC, GP's foo() would likely be optimized to { return true

Blocks are cold by an imprecise measurement. Decreasing the downside means you can apply the hopefully-optimisation more aggressively for more gain so I would expect it to matter.

Squashfs is not a problem. Squashfs can be faster than ext4, sometimes many times faster (lots of small files). Selected squashfs parameters are the speed issue.

Note that gpg compresses by default. Which is thy it's so slow. You may wish to use lzop or zstd but also disable gpg's compression. I usually use ssh (e.g. ssh -L 3333:localhost:3333) and avoid gpg, though I may use lzop dependin

Thermal radiative coupling is bidirectional. Sucking away is appropriate and important as you do actually have to displace the energy somewhere. It works the same way when sucking air. A simpler non-radiating equivalent would be a reflectiv
