I'm not sure about this, because it's easy to mix up two arguments of the same type. For example, you could mean createFile(name, contents, /* temporary= */ true, /* overwrite= */ true) but write

I can still open the full text of the offending books as html and as plain text. The EPUB and Kindle files are blocked, however. Maybe that's why there are conflicting reports.

Yes, so maybe they could have offered a slave speaker instead of letting you buy the whole thing again?

Could it be that Intel is communicating the way it does because they're afraid of lawsuits? I mean, if they admit that their processors are faulty, then they may have to recall basically all their processors.

Well, they're comparing kernel 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64, which has the meltdown fixes, against 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64, which does not.

My understanding was that the Spectre microcode patches give software a way to block speculative execution (via an MSR register) and to make the lfence instruction also block speculative execution. So, software support will also be needed t

I looked at the wrong rows in the table of capacities. So it's not a reduction by half. I corrected my message. But it's still a reduction in capacity (from 99.5 watt-hours to 76).

Ok, so they couldn't increase the battery capacity. But why did they reduce it from 99.5 watt-hours to 76.0 watt-hours rather than just keeping it?

Note that the article talks about type checks for the JavaScript code that is being executed by WebKit, not type checks in the implementation of WebKit itself. So there are two different kinds of type checks involved here.

Something like this exists with function multi-versioning: https://lwn.net/Articles/691932/ For example, glibc chooses optimised machine code for memcpy depending on the CPU it runs on.
