To add a little more fuel to the "this is a rip-off" fire, many of the books they're looking for in 3.5e, 3e, and 2e are not hard to come by, either in physical form on auction sites or in digital form. They don't need

AArch64 is a dramatically nicer instruction set than AArch32.

Instruction sets very much can be fast or slow, at least in the context of discussing specific use cases. Many of the inner loops that take up most of the active cycles on a CPU today (crypto, compression, imaging, signal processing, linea

> So many people think SIMD is somehow about parallel computation, but to me the obvious use is small vector math with basic vector types and standard operators. The fact that you think that indicates that you have no experience with SIM

I think the problem is with the assumption that expected wins are a good guide of behavior at the granularity of individual plays of the game. The expected win is infinite because very rare scenarios have huge payouts. However, any one pla

AFAIK the LLVM Foundation's primary operations are organizing LLVM developer conferences, which seems like it could be justified as educational undertaking.

While I agree that they're not production grade, $240 is well within the budget of, say, a EE research lab that wants to experiment with memristor-based circuit topologies and has the equipment+expertise to handle them properly.

After a bit more digging, it appears to be a silver chalcogenide memristor, as described here: http://scholarworks.boisestate.edu/electrical_facpubs/73/ This is very different materially from the TiO2 based ones u

Website is definitely underwhelming, but there's some documentation that appears reasonably detailed and plausible: Data sheet: http://nebula.wsimg.com/35f756676bf3290bebff9c9ac0f9e3ea?Acc... User manual: http:/&

I did both Crytek and Unreal's VR demos at GDC, the dinosaur island and the Hobbit scene respectively.

Yes, both of them looked equally screendoor-y and pixel-y to me.

As I said in my other comment, I'm really surprised by this. When I tried a DK2 and a CB back to back, I couldn't tell a difference (and not in a good way, they were both extremely screendoor-y and pixel-y) other than the headpho

I'm really surprised by your comments about Crescent Bay. I used a DK2 and a Crescent Bay back to back, and literally could not tell the difference aside from the headphones. Both were horribly screen-doory-y and pixel-y.
