Can't you still have 128 tasks even without sharing pages between tasks? That is, one direct page and one stack page for each task, with 256 pages total in bank 0. With sharing I mean, when you have two or more tasks of which only one

With the PDK being open, does anyone know if any kind of NDAs are still required to get a chip fabbed? While free-of-charge fabbing is quite nice, I think being NDA-free is even more important so all work including the tweaks necessary for

Computers can be made to understand base 10 though, if needed. We do so routinely when amounts of money are involved so a cent is a cent, even though 1/100 is nonterminating as a binary fraction.

All that is true for WebP too, isn't it? If you cannot recompile a piece of software, how are you going to add WebP support to it? And you aren't breaking it. In a theoretical world where transparency got added to JPEG, software t

If transparency was the main issue, adding transparency to JPEG sounds easier than coming up with a completely new encoding, especially a lossy one.

You could probably distribute the light among a larger number of plants (think plants stacked on a shelf, or on a tilted surface), so you grow more instead of faster.

Isn't that an opportunity for another company to run managed services like S3, RDS, SQS, SES on top of Hetzner servers? I see some issues with multiple companies being involved in support requests, but nothing that can't be solv

The suggestion is nice though since an attacker would have to break both at once. If you conceal an SSH server, you'd first break the obscurity, then proceed with attacking the SSH server. The suggestion seems to be that you would have

I read somewhere that the chip used in Star Fox (SuperFX) is less an "accelerator" but rather "becomes" the main chip because it hogs the main bus, so the SNES's own CPU can't really do a lot. OTOH the SuperFX

I don't think this is true: Both are editing programs. The main subject being edited is a single file (as opposed to multi-file projects, like an IDE does). Both therefore need a UI for file handling (load/save their "native&

For CPU, that is. Trying to make it work on my GPU took me to driver hell -- OpenCL support seems to be an entirely separate driver from normal graphics, and the newest packages that might support my GPU (Intel) are not even available for U

This rule is true for Javascript and PHP too, yet it happened all the time. If Lisp relies heavily on eval, what specific protection measures does it employ?

Isn't eval part of the cause of many security holes in other languages, e.g. Javascript? That is, not eval alone but combined with an unintended path from unvalidated user input to the snippet that gets eval'ed. Is there anything

IMHO the advantages of functional programming is often looked for in examples that are too small for them to exist. There is no advantage in sorting a billion numbers the functional way. There is an advantage to gain, though, when the unsor

I'm a bit disappointed that the article doesn't explain the need for a memory/consistency model and how it interacts with CPU caches. Locks are the easy part, and the article makes you think that with them you can now write a

As someone who isn't following the Qt vs. GTK debate closely, this makes me ask myself why the choice of a code library -- which should be based on how well it fits into application code and similar criteria -- affects the user at all?

Even if you assume the function returns, I don't quite understand why the if can be optimised away. The function may still have side effects if it returns, which have to happen before whatever assigning to NULL does. Those side effects

It's because they are dealing with different things. In math, things are immutable, so you either "compare all fields" for the most fine-grained equality, or a more "coarse" equality that is compatible in the sense

What is the state of adding higher-level logic to the DRAM chips? E.g. clear a whole DRAM row to 0 (blank memory for new processes). With today's processes, we can probably fit whole simple processor cores there easily.

A browser that disables Javascript could easily circumvent this too, either pre-loading URLs in :hover rules or ignoring those rules.

RISCV's main answer to this is to separate the instruction set into modular subsets so the baggage only has to be carried by those who need it. The core set doesn't even have multiplication.

As far as I understood, the Java language and many other high-level language can't express such loops (no arbitrary gotos), so JITing them would be a specific optimization for otherwise-crafted bytecode. Also, it probably doesn't

How do Chisel/FIRRTL handle inference of built-in primitives like synchronous RAM blocks in FPGAs? I have built my own HDL, which is basically "cleaner Verilog" and not a generator-style approach like Chisel, and gets compile
