A more accessible wargame simulator would be the recently released Hearts of Iron IV( http://store.steampowered.com/app/394360/ ), a very realistic WW2-era military grand strategy game. Playing a game or two and you

I think this is probably how the Chinese intervention, if they choose to intervene, would start, to restore the current DPRK/ROK border after a ROK/US incursion into the North. It seems likely that if that happens, DPRK would esca

The UK received quite a lot of Marshall Plan money. Nearly $3.2b of it, in fact.

This and the OP both discount the small, but very real possibility of conflict escalation with China, completely unintended by both sides. If China enters militarily(big if, given recent statements) on the side of DPRK and the conflict has

Here's a decent analysis of the artillery situation https://www.stratfor.com/analysis/how-north-korea-would-reta... TL;DR; DPRK can probably get off at least one good barrage, not enough to level Seoul but it woul

This leaves out some issues such as likely targeting of Japan by DPRK, but otherwise a clear-headed analysis of the dark and sobering reality there.

I'm guessing it will be closer to a large moving van rather than a real over-the-road semi. Probably 200-300mi range.

Are you seriously comparing the type of fund that VXX and UVXX are to a hypothetical Bitcoin ETF?

They did what they needed to do, get close enough performance and undercut on price. Should be a winner until Intel makes their next move.

Jesus, it's $3k per YEAR now? My house built in 1995, also AA county, is only $300 per year, but it is for 30 years. Still quite a significant difference, and not fully explained by inflation alone.

"Enterprise, Embedded, and Semi-Custom". Conveniently left off the first part there, of which is definitely not all GPU. And even if it was split like you want to imply it is, that would at best make it a minor majority, definitel

There are also potentially even more people withdrawing money from the markets as baby boomers are retiring en mass now. But also having said that, they haven't been flat over the past year. 2015 was a flat year, maybe that's what

They are staying consistent with a 40% IPC improvement number, which is great. This should finally be competitive with Intel's current offerings.

I have an OG pebble steel and it does everything I currently want in a smartwatch. I don't expect it will stop working for some time, and I plan on using it as long as possible.

Well it looks like this answers the question I posited above. Very interesting work, surprised I hadn't seen it.

An interesting experiment would be to see if a modern, easy(relatively) to audit compiler like tcc can still be used to bootstrap a more full-featured compiler like gcc or llvm. That would provide at least some protection against this, in t

He's not wrong, most traditional AV is complete hacked-up shit. Some of the "Next-Generation" AV(I think they are trying to rebrand this as Endpoint IPS too) like Cylance, CrowdStrike, Webroot are better in that they do a lot

Pretty hairy is an understatement. There are so many edge cases with ptrace based on how it works(interactions with signals especially) that make it almost impossible to make a truly robust debugger with it. Solaris did it right with their
