A few days ago I was at a Half Price Books store. Something which struck me at the moment was that while there were probably 20 Perl books (some of them duplicates), there wasn't a single Python book. I took it as in indication that

I lived in the south bay area for 20 years, although I moved away ten years ago. Unless there has been a seismic shift, why is it inevitable that the tech industry must move north? There is an assumption in this article that the ideal pla

Hooray for you, Mr. Colorblind, that you don't care about her looks, race, or gender. Unfortunately, women and black people (in the US at least) don't get to breezily dismiss it. The fact that you are apparently unaware of this

This encoding is nice given that they've already paid the price of having the 32b barrel shifter, but it was a non-obvious choice to have the barrel shifter to begin with. Most instructions don't benefit from the optional rotate,

It generates fewer than 4096 unique values, as some values map to the same thing. The most obvious being that 0 shifted any number of places produces 0, but also 0x10 shifted left 0 is the same as 0x04 shifted left 2 is the same as 0x01 sh
