Probably something with a rtl8129/39/69 chip. I had a few dozens of those NICs in the late 90s and early 2000s university computer labs I worked at. They’re so common that they’re (almost) a standard in x86 emulation (see qemu,

For me, it's the Principle of Least Surprise [0]. While you may consider it a browser bug, but, your bug is not checking for the set of enabled product features and browser version then warning the user, or (better) protecting the use

You can pick up used HP NC523SFP or NC552SFP (better!) NICs for about $15-$25 each off eBay. The drivers fell out of support on RHEL8/CentOS8 but I think Fedora Server, RHEL7/CentOS7 and Ubuntu Server are fine with them. TrueNAS

There was also that XEDOS, that never officially saw the light of day. But some of those feature apparently made it into MS-DOS 2.x and appear as those *nix-like features that DOS had from 2.0+. https://youtu.be/Vo8NG8T4rWs

Also, the 286 was the last time we had truly synchronized, 0-wait state CPU-RAM combination with the 16MHz 286 and 16MHz RAM.

Less accidental; more like undocumented. BIOSes have used Unreal Mode, EMMs/XMSs can or temporarily use Unreal mode, Intel's SMM use it. There's even some evidence modern processors still support & use it. One downside

It wasn't unheard of for DOS games to create or require floppy bootdisks just to run their game. Also, we had CONFIG.SYS menus back then too.

I think logic still holds. There’s an order magnitude more cache in today’s server CPUs. There’s higher likelihood today that your thread or process will remain in the cache, keeping it performant.

Another thought, I don’t know if Alpine Linux or other musl-libc based systems will have ‘nproc’ if, for instance, you’re running containers or other minimal systems.

Right. So on Mac or other BSDs, you want use a ‘sysctl’.

I see suggestions to use ‘make -j$(nproc)’. However, I was taught when learning MPI programming 20 years ago, you want think at least “one to load, one to run”. The idea being that processes and threads waiting on IO will sleep/yield

This is awesome! A QBASIC/QuickBASIC like environment for Python. One thing that made QBASIC so approachable was its Help system. So easy to navigate and find the info/function/argument you needed.

This sounds like it shares some similarities with LZ4.

I agree. I think the original assumption about "leftover volume/stock" only really applies to the RPi 1. However, if you talk more in terms of ARM ISA, then it certainly applies to every generation of the RPi in that the ch

Is `kLabelPlaceholder` an absolute or relative address? If it's absolute, you start executing at `kLabelPlaceholder`. If it's relative, you start executing at `buf + kLabelPlaceholder`. You could see the final value if you comp

There's actually dozens and dozens of such instructions on x86 and x86-64. So the question shouldn't really be if there is an instruction, it's whether the one you're using is the most performant for your given CPU. Ol

Haha. I still work for Red Hat, and Consulting at that. My pay is determined by how many billable hours I put in and my customer reviews. Not directly by how much you buy.
