It's only simulated at this point. There are fairly good cycle accurate open source x86 simulators, such as PTLsim or marss86 http://marss86.org/~marss86/index.php/Home http://caps.cs.binghamton.ed

All birds had a common ancestor species. Anything that's a descendant of that ancestor species is a bird. The actual ancestor hasn't been found, but it can be determined by genome studies, and by comparing known details (usually f

That's true for COBOL too. FORTRAN compilers were great for loop optimizations, but not clear if it pioneered much else worthwhile.

>Unlike FORTRAN and Lisp, it begat nothing. Which programming language was begat by FORTRAN? The ALGOL family seems rather independent to me. Both FORTRAN and COBOL had the misfortune to be created before structured programming. Others,

One wonders how they discovered these common mistakes. The only way to do a systematic study would be to keep some un-hashed passwords around and compare.

Possible security problems: - It may be possible to use timing to determine if a file already exists. So it could be possible for an attacker to determine for someone if some other mail.ru user received a file with some given contents. - Th

This may be a dumb question: What is the data that the machine learning algorithm would optimize with given an arbitrary program that is differentiated? Is it just a faster program or something else? For any changes you would need some kind

If you go by pages in the specification https://people-mozilla.org/~sstangl/arm/AArch64-Reference-Ma... is 5183 pages, which is about 10% longer than the Intel manual, which currently has 4670 pages.

All these things only came out after 2000. Basic bloom filter is earlier, but modern bloom filters (and varieties like cuckoo filter) have improved quite a bit. The standard paper on modern bloom filters came out in 2006. It's also tru

Complex behaviors are difficult to evolve. There is unlikely to be a "stay away from roads" allele, while a "no tusks" allele was already in the elephant population. If they live in an area where there are lots of roads

Typical problem of over tuning. Not every tunable needs to be tweaked (or worse cut'n'pasted somewhere from the internet). Your street cred as a admin does not depend on how many settings you can change. If they had just kept usin

It's good that they have their priorities straight. No more Linux binaries support (who need compatibility anyways?), but instead you get 5 songs sung by the project leader.

They take a small core using a hollow drill. This is enough to determine the rings and the age, and won't harm the tree.

Likely they did, just not in a way visible in their skeleton. Bones and teeth are the only things paleontologists can study, but the real animal has many more parts invisible to them. For example they likely continuously evolved resistance

Right. Who need power plants when the power is coming out of the wall plug. See the problem? Someone has to build the fab in the first place so you can use it.
