LWT is great and all, but I thought that whole segment, even through the tongue-locked-in-cheek filter, was incredibly patronizing. The parent touched on the idea that conspiracy theorist don't want facts. I couldn't agree more. H

This is a complete novice, ill informed, question. So forgive it in advanced, but why have an AMD specific backend at all? Couldn't you just use AMD's HIP/HIP-IFY tool on the CUDA backend and get an AMD friendly version out?

I understand your concern, but I guess we are just coming at it from dueling perspectives. I don't think being a good developer, which I will define as being able to understand and manage the choice / trade offs you are making whe

Linus shat on the FSF and GPLv3 at a 2014 Q&A. The word bigot was thrown around by LT when characterizing the FSF. During the Q&A he also carted out the same tired "you have to earn respect" rag that volatile people use. H

Only if you are a filthy causal, specific brand vertically integrated sd cards are so 2019. So what you need to do, if you are serious about this micro server business, is buy a 1.5TB optane 905p and slot it into a pcie x4 to m.2 adapter. F

That would be amazing! I'm imagining a sci-fi novel where aliens have extended their own lives but not improved their memory, so after 5 million years they reach their destination doing nothing but singing and merriment on the way. Sad

No judgement of not knowing but para-virtualization is not emulation and it is not a new or niche technology either. I think IBM was doing it in the 60s (might be off base with that factoid because modern-ish operating systems like the RC40
