TSMC has a new process called N7P EUV that has a higher density than Intel's 10nm process[0], in production since last year. They also are on track to have their N5 process in production next year, which is supposed to have an even hig

I might have badly expressed myself - I'm specifically talking about changing the link target in the link's onclick handler like Google does, such that the link target shown in the browser is different from the actual target.

I agree it's delusional, but to give some hard data, Mercury Research published its quarterly findings on x86 market share as of Q4 2019[0]. Specifically: - On the server side, AMD market share is only 4.5% (up by 1.4 percentage point

Facebook's revenue in 2019 was $70bn. $529bn is 7 times this. I don't think Facebook even generated close to $529bn during the entirety of its lifetime. This is not "probably say": $529bn would just not work. EDIT: If th

Yes, I expect them to do manual user research. And “making the users pay” is the wrong way to frame this - product pricing and labor aren’t that tightly correlated. Besides, When we bought magazines the editors didn’t know what stories peop

Actually, I believe there are. IIRC it's possible for a CA's root cert to be limited to only a certain TLD. There's an extension called "Name Constraints" that limits a Root SSL Cert, and I believe it is honored by

A second mirror doesn't really help - when github goes down, the code should still be available locally on your computer. The things that become truly available when github dies are all the non-git features: issues, PRs, etc... There a

Instead of lazy static, use once_cell’s Lazy type[0]! It is a replacement that does away with the macro-based approach, possible thanks to improvements in const fn. This leads to improved IDE experience. [0] https://docs.rs/

A string works. If a numerical/in-place representation is wanted for efficiency, you could rely on the fact that stock symbols are always less than 8 characters, so we can parse it into an array of 8 bytes.

SoloKeys appear to use open source firmware, whereas Yubico's firmware is closed source since the Yubikey 4 I believe. Other than that, they seem about the same. SoloKeys is a lot younger and missing a couple of Yubikey Neo's bigg

I hate roundabouts. I live in France, and we have them everywhere. They're a huge clusterfuck that does not win any time, and when misused can be a lot more dangerous than a properly planned intersection. Of all the accidents I've

Assuming the data isn't changed, thanks to CoW forking wouldn't cause any extra memory usage. If only a subset of data is changed, same thing - only the changed cells will take extra space. The problem only occurs when the whole v

Vulkan was never meant to be directly used by people who “just want to draw stuff”. It was meant to give engine developers the tools required to squeeze more performance out of the GPUs. This is a case of working as designed. The people try

Oh that's interesting. Zircon is based on LK[0] which is in C, which is why I thought it was still written in C. I wonder how much is left of the original LK code then. [0]: https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/concepts

Small nitpick: Google isn't using Rust for the Fuchsia kernel. The kernel, Zircon, is written entirely in C and is based on Little Kernel. Google is using Rust for some userspace drivers (Fuchsia being a micro-kernel).
