Firstly, I think those may interest you slightly, those are some projects which tried to have a somewhat unified assembly syntax across ISAs, and with more regular naming of registers, etc.: https://9p.io/sys/doc/a

I wonder if there was consideration within Apple of switching back to PowerPC (power9/power10) now that it is open (for whatever that means, I am not sure)? They would appreciate the control that would give them. Does somebody have an

Maybe they could go the route of herding most users to a walled garden, but giving developers more freedom? (yuck)

The "Claims" section is what you're looking for, it seems to be missing from the scanned part, but it's there in the OCR'd part (on the right).

No. I'm guessing the main issue is that Wayland is not a replacement for X.

I agree that installation requires more learning than other distros, but once you get past that I don't understand the problem. I think Arch "just works", too, and I don't see how Manjaro could be better in that regard c

I have the perception (maybe just uneducated guess) that Debian is strictly worse than, say, Arch for personal use. One has to deal with constantly outdated packages, but also with required breaking changes in case of an upgrade from one ve

Turns out I wish I could delete my top-level comment now, because I realized that because of Julia's type conversion and promotion semantics a user would actually not get into the problems I worried about.

The problem is that you won't know when your results are wrong because of low input precision. And when you do know, things will be a bit more complicated.

by nsajko 6y ago
A problem with Julia is that it does not parse input numbers with arbitrary precision by default. Example: julia> sin(1.461920290375737576933544899379e+31) -0.9468766486679395 julia> sin(parse(BigFloat, "1.46192029037573
