I work at a particle accelerator. We use White Rabbit ( https://white-rabbit.web.cern.ch/ ) to synchronize some very sensitive devices, mostly the RF power systems and related data acquisition systems, down to nanosecond accu

I have met plenty of people from Finland, Sweden and Denmark who were all pretty happy with the EU. I guess it helps that we all work in big international projects, so we get to talk to lots of different nationalities on a daily basis.

Not loving the government is OK. Heck, hating the government might also be OK. Insisting that we European citizens hate the EU when it is not true, and then doubling down with accusations of censorship when the whole thread points out you

Spanish guy here: no, we don't hate the EU, quite the opposite. Please stop feeding on right-wing propaganda that wants to destroy us.

The article mentions the language and cultural barriers, and the rigid hierarchy with old bosses who demand blind obedience, even when the rules are counterproductive. I have been living in Japan for years now and I have had the same experi

Lol no, for servers (Epyc) it is the last digit. Why? Who knows, to make it more confusing I guess.

The biggest source of homonyms are words imported from Chinese, as Chinese morphemes are usually monosyllabic. It is already a problem in Chinese due to the limited phonotactics, made even worse in Japanese. So the most obvious solution wou

I am Spanish and I agree with your comment. Sadly we love to hate our country, I guess we still have a lot of guilt accumulated from Franco's era. In my case, the cure was traveling and living abroad for 7 years now, it made me realize

If you want a modern version, get yourself an 8bitdo M30, it is really good.

I am not sure about the literacy rates, but I live in Japan and pretty much every single Japanese person I have ever talked to has told me how painful kanji are and how they wished the Japanese writing system was easier. In comparison, my m

I strongly agree with you. My little experience tinkering with ARM-based systems has been frustrating, I don't want to touch ARM ever again until it has some kind of standard boot process. Same for RISC-V.

Wait until you find gendered languages (like most languages in Europe) and realize that grammatical gender usually doesn't have anything to do with biological sex :P

This is also something that depends heavily on regulations. In my home country, invoice numbers have to be sequential by law, although you can restart the numbering every year.

See? This is exactly my point. The last 32-bit only Intel CPUs were the original Intel Core series. Core 2 was already 64-bit, and it was released in 2006. i686 should have died a long, long time ago.

Portable to what? Rust works fine on all of today's popular platforms. I see people complaining about Rust's lack of portability, and it is always some obsolete platform that has been dead for 20 years. Let's be serious, nobo

Fair enough. I am Spanish, so I am very much aware of the situation, I have plenty of friends and acquaintances from LATAM xD. If I am speaking Spanish I would say "estadounidense" or "gringo" depending on my mood, but I

You are right about the RSP/RDP distinction. My point is that removing transistors from one chip doesn't magically let you add more transistors to another chip, that's not how IC fabrication works. And the CPU was not a custo

Would it be possible to use something similar to DWDM to store/process multiple bits in parallel in the same circuit?

Yes, to generate a whole planet it is a much better idea to use something like a cube map.
