Stocks in the United States generally aren't listed outside of NYSE and Nasdaq though (unless you count BATS).

Largely, it's legacy in the United States. When human specialists were in control of the book for a stock, the market opened at 9:30, and closed at 16:00. It probably hasn't changed for nearly a century. More algorithms are trad

I'm not sure I agree entirely with this. Historically, pianos haven't been widely owned, and performances haven't been widely attended. Although I would guess ownership is probably more evenly distributed now than ever befo

Cache is extremely important, but most of these operate strictly on values in registers. So, losing cycles due to cache misses, latency, contention, etc... isn't a bottleneck. A lot of these are crucial enough that they've been c

How many of these are still relevant? x86 has an instruction for crc , bswap , as well as nop now.

Sorry, I did misunderstand. I see. I was under the impression they were entirely doing away with the hardware necessary for virtual memory.

Implementing a lock-free work stealing queue isn't difficult, especially with C/C++ atomics. I can't think of an implementation where ABA would be a problem.

As I understand, they aren't seeking venture capital backing, so progress is slow. I know they have (had) plans to implement a Mill on an FPGA, but even going to a usable ASIC will probably be a challenge. It's a major architectu

Outside of engineering, it's just the reality that terms get co-opted a lot to mean things like fast or asynchronous . It's really engineering where the strict definitions are important, which is the only scenario I generally

Add-ons can do malicious things, requiring signatures doesn't stop that and it could even give a false sense of security. However, I think the major concern with signatures is the authority aspect.

There are security vulnerabilities, I don't think anyone in their right mind can deny that. Ultimately they're no different than being able to install software on your computer though. So, assuming reading your bank account were

by uxcn 11y ago
Requiring code-signing is fairly controversial by itself, but even still, comparing add-ons to drivers isn't really accurate. For monolithic systems, drivers imply kernel mode, which implies Ring-O privileges, which also implies root

I agree. > Judging by the number of users on Chrome, it's hardly a dealbreaker change for most. Signing & locking down extensions is a necessity. Anyone who has to deal with the user side of IT will attest to that. Fewer people

The default behavior with firefox is honestly borderline unusable for me. I can understand the need for a better add-on API, but I think limiting capabilities will probably end up driving a fork.

Frequent releases aren't a bad thing, per se. Although, huge API changes like this, without a valid plan for supporting existing ones a large community depends on seems like a disaster in the making. The impression I get is that Mozil

Well, Baudrillard[1] would say that the abstraction just becomes indistinguishable from what it abstracts. So, the celebrity of art becomes the abstraction for it, and then the abstraction itself becomes art. Eventually another abstractio

I use R, and I still use ad-hoc commands from time to time too. I guess mlr and xsv lie somewhere between, which I've personally never really considered. R is specifically designed for manipulating datasets though, and has a lot

The active campaigns that award ephemeral internet points actually seem fairly effective. Those are what worry me most though, as it seems like the making of a tragedy of the commons.

I suspect if companies tracked the actual return for various adds, it would put an end to the obnoxiousness fairly quick. It's easy to why so many companies are willing to engage in click-fraud.

If the words are just unaligned, you not only run into issues spanning cache lines, but spanning pages as well. The prefetcher can detect general linear patterns ( +/-c , etc..) after a couple misses, but it can't prefetch across

After re-reading what I wrote, it is kind of misleading. Yes, CPUs generally can't work with anything smaller than a cache line (see coherence). Although, you don't need to wait for an entire cache line to transfer before you ca
