Speculating a bit here: Perhaps one could even create a JIT that generates different code for Intel P-cores and E-cores in the same process. However, that would be very challenging to get working if the OS can switch the process from one co

How many incompatible languages called VB-something did Microsoft create? There's at least the classic Visual Basic, VBA, VBScript, and VB.NET. Although to be fair, the distinction between the language and libraries has never been very

Maybe they caught on with all the youngsters who call software and AI stuff "tech" instead of technology, and make a clear distinction between the two.

It is possible to heap allocate a VLA too, although the syntax is a bit more cumbersome with pointer access. But it does allow you to pass dynamically sized multi-dimensional arrays to functions and access them with array indexing notation.

The users could simply run a debugger to get a backtrace from the core file... then with some experience, they would learn to associate different hex addresses with different kinds of errors. No harm, no foul.

Intel seems to be going for market segmentation, with AVX-512 only available on their server CPUs. The option to enable AVX-512 has been removed from Alder Lake CPUs since 2022, and there is no AVX-512 on Raptor Lake. AMD also keeps making

Getting to that point has required years of maintenance work since compiler writers started interpreting more and more undefined behaviour as optimization opportunities. At least now we have UBSAN to actually test for undefined behaviour at

By cutting off 32-bit support, Apple gets more people to buy a new computer, as new software versions are only available on 64-bit computers. It also removes the incentive for software vendors to keep producing 32-bit software versions.

The Register does not report any absolute numbers and the source appears to be a proprietary market research report. Is the actual number of ARM or x86 CPUs at Amazon publically available?

It was not quite decades in advance. Although a version of FX!32 was demoed in 1993, the first production version was released in 1996. Apple's Power Macintosh already included a 68k emulator in 1994, and by 1998 it featured just-in-

Wouldn't it be cheaper to integrate DDR chiplets in the package, like Apple is doing? Even though the approach is not competitive with HBM in performance, on Apple processors it does seem to offer better power efficiency and bandwidth

There is also https://www.python-mip.com/ which claims to be more efficient, but it supports fewer solvers than pulp, and I have not had opportunity to test it. Would anyone here have experience on how well their efficiency

Have you tried plotnine? It's a faithful port of ggplot to python. It's built on top of matplotlib, so no interactivity, but I have not noticed any problems with leaky abstraction.
