To quote the author (F4HDK) who designed everything from hardware to software, compiler,loader,assembler etc: It is a design that came from my imagination, not from existing CPUs. It is a RISC design, without microcode, and instruction are

I notice that mediawiki development also has a code of conduct expectation. Is this following that trend, or is the Stack Overflow code of conduct different?

Another great magazine that helped me get up to speed on computers was Kilobaud Magazin. I guess it's name is kinda dated in the days of Gigabaud transmissions, as a kilobaud was 1024 bits per second, or 128 bytes per second. Anyway, y

Could you shed some light on how you made the playground.ponylang.org website work? Do you allow multiple actors to all be run at the same time? How do you coordinate the various outputs of the various actors?

I can imagine this Nanix OS as the OS for a hypervisor. The less code on the hypervisor level, the less code that can be compromised. Is this an accurate view, or am I missing something?

You say ‘Builds somewhat opinionated virtual environments using KVM and LXC/LXD’ ... what do you mean when you say ‘an opinionated environment’ ?

Rudimentary info for newbies: LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers. It has more capabi

Could someone give us more of the story around ZAPCC ? I see that it is a C++ compiler that is based on clang, and that it only works well on Linux. Could someone (perhaps turrini) share some comparison tables of the relative speed, size, d

So has anyone looked into the issues involved in explaining this level of causation to any AI systems? It seems this might be work, but interesting.

Common Table Expressions (CTEs) are sometimes referred to as WITH clauses. This article focuses on WITH RECURSIVE. They are useful ways to deal with tree oriented data.

Shawn, Is your Lumen system compatible with COMMON-LISP (Lisp-2), or Scheme (Lisp-1) ? If Lumen is a Lisp-1 then it does not allow the same name to be used for a function and a variable simultaneously. If Lumen is a Lisp-2 then functions an

If I remember correctly in the book: "1636: The Chronicles of Dr. Gribbleflotz" he made "aqua regia" from "aqua fortis" and "acidum salis" I don't know if either of those were his name for aqua-r

Important notes from article: This Friday we published the Unity engine and editor C# source code on GitHub, under a reference-only license. We are not releasing Unity as open source. Not even a little bit. (Sorry.) We also do not take pull

This is probably a prank, but if it isn't, I'd encourage the writer to tell us what "Damore" is, as the article discusses a pro-Damore stance, but assumes we are willing to look elsewhere for a definition.

Thanks for sharing this clever use of Jira when managing a real-life project of a new child. Is there any other way of treating this as a special case of the general task of non-programming real life projects like sharing chores in a colleg

For me, "code as data" means that the code I write provides a particular structure (whether to create a report, or go through an editing task or find particular information in the computer). I then use a table-driven "data&qu

this is intriguing. since the links and rotary joints will be susceptible to friction I wonder if you could pump oil through the machine to remove any shavings that might be created. I wonder if the fact that the gates etc. are in a single
