Aside from the cost, ACQ107 is not very reliable in my experience. I have one that randomly drops the connection every now and then, even at sub-10Gbps speeds. Switching to a different NIC makes everything rock stable.

In my experience every single (AIO) water cooler I've tried has been significantly worse in terms of noise than a decent air cooler. Specifically the pumps. Those things have an obnoxious high-pitched whine that I personally find unbea

Because that would break compatibility. The way shadow stacks are implemented means they can be enabled in existing software without code changes. If one were to design a modern ISA from scratch it would make sense though.

Yes, for 32- and 64-bit registers. Most modern x86 CPUs has fast paths for 'xor reg, reg' which performs the zeroing using the register renaming mechanism instead of actually executing anything on the back-end. So the only cost is

Recent Atom CPUs (since Gracemont) do support AVX and AVX2.

The point is that avoiding Apple and Google, while it may be technically and theoretically possible, is going to make your life extraordinarily complicated and is completely unrealistic for the average person in our modern society.

When the cost of the electronics is a tiny fraction of the overall product the equation is different. Automotive is a perfect example where spending extra on a few key components is a worthwhile investment if that can increase the reliabili

Why would you have spaces in source code filenames? It's just a bad idea in general and makes things more complicated for no reason, regardless of what build system you're using.

In some European countries you can in fact do exactly that. Useful if you need to ask someone to move their vehicle for example. I'm sure there's some kind of hypothetical downside, but not one that me or anyone I know have encoun

Always storing contacts using the full international phone number is definitely the way to go. As someone who, at least before the pandemic, used to travel a fair amount this basically eliminates all issues and makes everything "just w

That Wikipedia article is incomplete, Zen 4 will be able to run all AVX-512 code that Ice Lake can run.

ifuncs is a non-standard compiler extension that only works on certain operating systems. Developers that cares about portability are obviously going to stay far away from such things.

Javascript in general? Sure. Telemetry-specific Javascript on the other hand is prevented from executing by many ad blockers, for good reasons.

Because the number of transistors used for that functionality is absolutely negligible, so removing it has virtually no benefit.

I haven't seen any numbers on that but there's literally zero reason to run a Xeon Phi without using AVX-512, so I'd assume no design considerations were taken to optimize the clock frequency for a non-AVX-512 use case.

Personally I avoid any corporation claiming to be the <famous company> of the <different field>, since that implies they are unable to succeed on their own merits.

> Can other SIMD instructions (AVX2, say) do the same? On Intel CPUs, yes. There's even a BIOS/UEFI setting to specify how much you want the clock frequency to drop when running AVX code called "AVX offset". AMD CPUs

GPU:s are generally terrible for video encoding. I think you're confusing the GPU with a dedicated "hardware encoder" ASIC (which may be located on the same die as other silicon components such as a CPU or a GPU).

It means you can force people who actually develops products to pay you money for using your totally novel and not at all vague idea that you wrote down on a piece of paper 15 years ago that is so unimaginably revolutionary that nobody else

Amazon defines one ARM vCPU as one core and one x86 vCPU as one SMT-thread of one core, so the Graviton 2 instances has twice as many cores as the x86 ones it's compared against, and as such it would be a kind of a failure if it wasn&#
