Ah right. That confirms my suspicion then that relaxing &mut would make lifetimes unsound.

Threadrippers exist, but would Strix Halo then use Threadripper sockets? Would it use its own sockets? I don't expect Strix Halo to appear in any socketed form. I think you're right that it'll appear in SFF PCs, like most of

Is Strix Halo launching on desktops? I'd have assumed that the 256b bus would restrict it to a unique socket.

The pollution still gets made and the fossil fuels still get consumed. This isn't a solution unless it's part of a phase out.

I find that aviation rarely comes up in discussions around decarbonisation, and that's probably because of the difficulty of even plausibly claiming we have a path to accomplishing it. It's interesting to ponder what a world would

It wouldn't be the first time Intel dropped a high performance consumer architecture and started upcycling their lower power designs instead. Netburst ran hot and slow, and the Core microarchitecture which replaced it was derived from

It's always the same song and dance with Windows on ARM.

This comment had the reverse effect on me - Dark Souls 3 has been on my backlog for a while, and I'm now more keen to play it :)

I'm a fan of most of Oshii's work, and Angel's Egg is a particular favourite, but it's not hard to see why it's rarely recommended. The film has very little narrative and it leans heavily on visual symbolism.

I found Jin-Roh's use of the Red Riding-Hood narrative to be much more subversive than a mere retelling. Both lead characters alternately play the role of red riding-hood and the wolf, luring each other in and betraying each others&#x2

I agree, but I would characterise it more generally than that. It's not specifically leftism, but any rejection of the theory that underpin the present power structure. For example, right wing populism which takes the form of isolation

It's helpful that Romney came out and said it so brazenly. There's been a lot of incredulity over this idea until now.

In times of war the law falls silent, as they say.

The objective of laws like this is to be opaque, so they can be applied arbitrarily and on demand. Informing suspects that they are under suspicion would give them the opportunity to comply with the the rules and avoid punishment.

Netflix's release of Neon Genesis Evangelion was badly affected in this way. Many fans were irked by the removal of Fly Me To The Moon from the end credits and a few other key moments during the show.

They're related but not the same. This wiki page explains LoROM and HiROM; FastROM is explained by this sentence. > Different address ranges are accessed at different speeds, and the speed of the ROM at banks $80-$FF may be changed

The funny thing is that anyone thinks that the concepts of rule of law, sanctity of truth, and right over might concretely exist anywhere, and aren't just notional components of a legitimizing narrative. We have all lived through 2020

With desktop GPUs I certainly thing there's room to improve framerate and image clarity before considering ray tracing. Maybe if you have a high end GPU and an an otherwise lightweight game it's worth it. For a mobile GPU, like Me

A bigger standard library is one thing, but new classes and methods are easier to get accustomed to than additions to the core language spec with features like type inference or pattern matching. I think Kotlin especially is responsible for

Until recently Java always seemed conservative. That's not "fun" or very interesting for a programmer, but it does offer some certainty. Java 8 bucked the trend with some major but highly useful additions, and ever since it s

The benefit when having an ecosystem of discrete GPUs is that CPUs can get away with having low bandwidth memory. This is great if you want motherboards with socketed CPU and socketed RAM which are compatible with the whole range of product

Apple's M-series chips already have best in class CPU performance and memory bandwidth. How much more power do you need?

Reminds me of ROM hacking. Overwriting an instruction inside a function with a branch to unused memory and jumping back later is an easy way to get extra space for the patch you want to write.
