In my very limited experience as an educator (I worked as a teacher for two years at the trade school level), I completely agree with your excellent comment. I would argue that sometimes students are right when they complaint about a subjec

Sorry, but I fail to see where the problem is. Any general purpose ISA designed in the past 40 years can handle 8/16/32 bit integers just fine regardless of the register size. That includes the 64-bit x86-64 or ARM64 from which yo

You can't with standard PCIe, but you will be able to do it with CXL, although I don't know of any server platform that uses it yet.

Ok, it is obvious that you are looking for something to complaint about and don't want to find a solution. That is not a productive attitude in life, but whatever floats your boat. Have a good day.

Then just define a type alias, which is good practice if you want your types to be more descriptive: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/type-aliases.html

If you don't care about the size of your number, just use isize or usize. If you do care, then isn't it better to specify it explicitly than trying to guess it and having different compilers disagreeing on the size?

In the case that people don't understand your comments: uppercase K is Kelvin, kilo should be lowercase k. Plenty of people get it wrong, even researchers and scientists who should know better.

Heck, the stupid Windows application for the "my number card" has this problem, and it is an official application coming from the government itself! How is it possible that in 2024 we still have this problem?

Alternatively you could use "gestor", which has the same stem. "Gestionar" and "gerente" have different origins, so no wonder they look very different. But yes, most (all?) European languages have vastly more c

As someone who has been living in Japan for the last 6 years, I kind of agree with you. It might look like a very respectful culture at first, but you will soon realize that it is quite oppressive and has led to cultural stagnation. It is a

But most transmission systems use multi-level signals. Gigabit Ethernet uses PAM-5, the latest versions of PCIe use PAM-4, and USB 4 uses PAM-3. Not to mention the crazy stuff like QAM-256 and higher.
