Would a chair on the Moon (or somewhere else inaccessible to you) be a chair?

Smaller data is where it’s at when optimizing nowadays. Less bandwidth required and higher cache hit rate. You can compute a ton per bit transferred from DRAM. On both CPUs and GPUs.

A bit late reply. Memory model strength has nothing to do with tearing. Total store order and total load order does not matter in any possible way. There's no tearing, because all memory operations are wider than 64-bits. Unless some

When's the last time you've seen a non zero NULL pointer? We don't code for things like PDP-11 or Honeywell mainframes all that often. https://c-faq.com/null/machexamp.html

I haven’t seen any aligned double or long tearing for over 20 years on workstation or server CPUs.

Sounds counterintuitive. Any references?

Seems like it. Page loads occasionally succeed.

Which was Windows 94 at some point, until it wasn't. At least one official alpha build had that name.

I was profiling my code in the early nineties. Sure, I created primitive profiling tools on my own, but regardless. While 486 AGI stalls were trivial, especially Pentium changed the game with its U and V pipes. You could no longer trivially

Say it results in a global nuclear war. That might be the worst case scenario. What's the dollar value of that?

> Note the date on that video. Seems to be 2 years after Russia first attacked in 2014. Why does that matter?

The U.S. failing Ukraine sends a signal you can get away with invasions. So it's not just about Ukraine. The full global consequences can be devastating.

Money. US profits immensely from a stable world order. Peace and predictability is good for business. Security guarantees also prevent nuclear proliferation. If Ukraine is defeated, the lesson many countries will learn is to have a strong n

C64 demo coders don't generally care about ROM contents, there's nothing useful in there. ROMs are usually switched off. Although there might be a few exceptions.

6502 really has 262 registers: 256 zero page plus those standard ones mentioned. Or 260 for 6510, as zero page addresses 0 and 1 are for I/O. Practically anything non-trivial uses those zero page addresses as extra registers.

Isn't it obvious? Warn the user, who can now use something else instead.
