It all depends on how you define computer science vs computer engineering. In all my CS classes, not once did I need to deal with pointer arithmetic or memory layout. That's because my CS classes were all theoretical, concerning pseudo

More than a bit, Intel actually produced ARM processors for a decade. The XScale line of processors was sold to Marvell in 2006, and that knowledge has probably atrophied since then. Intel used to build their network interface cards around

But branch prediction doesn't necessarily need complicated logic. If I remember correctly (it's been 20 years since I read any papers on it), the simple heuristic "all relative branches backwards are taken, but forward and ab

I certainly enjoyed The Grand Budapest Hotel, but I remember it more as an absurdist exposition rather than a gripping drama. I may be misremembering though. The only other movie I have seen from him is Moonrise Kingdom, so there's a l

Republicans do not have a monopoly on cowardice. To take a recent example from memory, Chuck Schumer is equally spineless, and people closer to US politics can probably name more compromised democrats.

You have a very uninformed view of parliamentary systems if you think the US is in any way close to that. - in parliamentary systems, minister posts are assigned to elected representatives . There is no prime minister that can just gift th

What fantasy world do you live in where you expect the 2026 elections to be both fair and a resounding win for the democrats?

Also, they must work alone. It seems a music "artist" these days is only the face of the operation, the composers and stage musicians deserve no mention apparently.

I can easily rattle off movies and music from the last decade If you have recommendations for good recent drama, I'm interested to hear your suggestions. Let's limit it to interpersonal conflict, by which I mean a movie that fol

I'm mostly a child of the 90s, and I prefer 70s music too. The music scene of the 80s and 90s was soulless (pun intended), at least when it comes to mainstream cultural presence. When I think of the music of my youth, the terms that

Sure, 100% agreed. But the way you phrased the earlier post implied that there was a third "end" to the system that was doing the plaintext leaking, and that's not the case (assuming I understood the description correctly, a

The end that's relaying the plaintext is the user agent itself, not a third component in the system.

It's not really a worse choice than reusing the same symbol to represent multiple vowels. The preceding sentence has three different vowel sounds associated with the letter e, for example (four if you include the silent -e like in choi

The ICC in The Hague does not deal with internal conflicts, it mostly handles war crimes. The summary deportation of citizens to Salvadorian work camps is the only thing that might show up on the ICC's radar, for the rest of the crimes

PSA: brushing your teeth directly after eating is actually detrimental, because the acids in food soften the enamel on your teeth. That layer needs to harden first (wait 20-30 minutes), otherwise your toothbrush will strip it away: https:&

I don't think these apps were ever built to be fast, they were built with the resource constraints of the time. Moore's law is what's making these apps fast.

In NL, cycling proficiency is tested at school (around 10yo). You don't get a license though, and it's not really taught as many children already bike to school at a younger age.
