If you refer to "The Art of 64-Bit Assembly", while this is correct, there are two things to consider 1. the real meat of ASM doesn't really depend on the Assembler, so one can (and ends up) coding the exercise with the Assem

I've had a few Nvidia cards (from 9xx to 20xx) and one (very modern) AMD. The AMD drivers runs fine. They're functionally inferior to the Nvidia ones (in several aspects), but I had no big problems. I don't play on Linux, tho

Regarding the ractors, I'm a big fan - I believe true multithreading in a language with a GIL is a revolutionary change. On the other hand, I also believe that Ruby has always had a culture of single threading, so for the ecosystem to

There isn't such a thing as readable bash, as a significant amount of its syntax is symbolic (and cryptic, by the way), and it's full of warts and unintuitive quirks. Writing very simple scripts is certainly simple, but anything e
