Yes but as as soon as you hit the limits of i.e. Quartus Lite it's $4k per seat per year. Then another $2k for Modelsim. And another $2k if you want the DSP package, etc.

Every FPGA I have used has offered their proprietary bloated incredibly expensive toolchain on Linux. There's icestorm but the supported hardware is not exactly high performance, IIRC the biggest chips supported have around 8K LUTs.

It absolutely did make a difference to the cost. Probably only a few cents, but definitely a difference. Die area is money. Microcontrollers are extremely cost-optimized and people will buy exactly as much capability as they need which is

How is the $1800 2990WX outperforming the $1980 i9-7980XE in every rendering test they performed not convincing? There are clearly workloads where the 32 core TR chip does not perform well (probably due to the memory configuration) but it s

I suppose it's somewhat debatable whether they count as a computer but I would say the mechanical engine speed governors on lawn mowers.

It's wild how a company distributing an Android app in the exact same way that they already distribute the PC version of the same program has blown up into this huge and controversial news story.

What I was saying is that it's amazing Python 3 failed to gain any significant traction in 4 years. I personally have been using Python 3 since ~2010 but am apparently in a tiny minority on that.

It's amazing that Python 3 was 4 years old when this post was made and yet saying "Python" was still implicitly assumed by basically everyone to mean 2.x.

WebRender is not a replacement for Gecko, it is replacement for the rendering subsystem of Gecko. As GP said they are replacing individual subsystems of FF/Gecko one at a time from Servo components. So the fact that Servo as a whole ha

You should be able to use other chips in the EFM32 family as a drop in replacement, obviously requires soldering your own board. Seem to be available with up to 128K flash and 16K RAM. Of course the GnuK site lists some STM32 boards designe

That is the Defender real time protection, loves to hog enormous amounts of CPU during any file I/O, you can disable it temporarily but it very aggressively nags you about it. However it does let you exclude specific folders and will n

The other interpretation of those stats is that women with male doctors are 4% more likely to die (0.5/11.9), which looks like a pretty meaningful difference. And the sample size is pretty huge especially by medical study standards at

Ironically there's a Search and Indexing Troubleshooting Wizard built into Windows 10 because the feature is so unreliable but the Start Menu search doesn't find it even when it's working properly.

ASUS has literally dozens of current motherboards with PS/2 ports, including 5 Z370 models. I really have no idea where you get the idea that they "dropped it completely". https://www.newegg.com/Product/P

AMD's overall marketshare is still low because of near-zero laptop or OEM penetration but their share of retail CPU sales (i.e. the only people that buy motherboards) is nearly 50% according to every recent sales report I've seen.

ASUS definitely still makes several motherboards with PS/2 ports. My Prime X370 Pro has one, and the updated X470 version still has it. The Prime B350M even has separate ones instead of the combo.

Elon said the exact same thing in the Q4 2017 earnings call. And then said they would still do the demo in the next 3-6 months. It's been 6 months and this "easily doable" demo has still not been done. Tesla has shown zero ev

The article is confusing because it is talking about cache coherency but keeps calling it consistency. "The most common protocol that’s used to enforce consistency amongst caches, is known as the MESI protocol." When MESI is a c

A lot of these 'misconceptions' are absolutely true though, for certain architectures. Every architecture has a specific set of guarantees about memory ordering and the coherence protocol used is an implementation detail relevant

I mean technically it was a "new" release but they fixed 4 minor bugs in a codebase that was otherwise not touched in 20+ years. If you want the most modern AmigaOS to run on classic hardware that's obviously 3.9 which was re

AmigaOS 4 is PowerPC only, it does not run on this hardware at all.
