Who trolled whom? According to Hill (and supported by the timeline) the revisions were at the request of the editors. In that case, it was these editors who wanted a political axis added to it instead of just publishing an "undergrad a

Jim Keller had a stint there. Just like with AMD K8, he flew in, saved the day with Zen, then moved to greener pastures. Just that this time, these pastures are at Intel, so who knows what'll happen?

It's cyclic, yes, but only because we went off on a tangent. The US isn't prepared for that because they refuse to have a registry of their citizens. India has one (or two, currently). Therefore "infrastructure to obtain ID i

The patent it from 2004, so the issue becomes moot in 2024. At least for the C++ standardization that might be a reasonable timeline.

Even if the process is onerous having one is miles ahead for the purpose of identifying eligible voters compared to the American system which barely knows who exists within the country, much less where they live.

The american banking industry, maybe. One of the ills of VC-mania is the ongoing assumption that a) problems that exist in the US exist everywhere and b) that there are no other problems. (see also: Uber busting the "taxi monopoly&quot

Treble (which launched with Oreo) requires a different partition layout, a rather significant change to do on a running system. If anything, Oreo would see lower uptake due to Treble, although that's mitigated by not making Treble a re

With homomorphic encryption, you have to trust Intel to build CPUs that calculate correctly. Except for FDIV style bugs (which are pretty rare, and it's telling that FDIV, from the mid-90s is the go-to example), they mostly managed to

Extensions are fair game, of course. As is not buying chips with closed extensions. But designing the hooks for anti-user binary blobs into the ISA just encourages misbehavior as soon as they can get away with it. RISC-V code in privileged

As soon as you write an USB controller driver, you'll stumble over that quickly. The EHCI and XHCI specs are freely available and describe this in detail. It's just that only few people need to write such drivers. :-) As for it wo
