You're mostly right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#Technical_specif... The cell processor had a main PowerPC core and eight floating-point SIMD co-processors called synergistic processing elements (SP

Julia uses libuv, the same library used by Node.JS, for its networking functions. Therefore, given better library support, Julia could be quite suitable for writing web applications. If you wanted to provide a web frontend to some numerical

Oh whoops, I guess my VLSI professor lied to me. Maybe it only happens with certain multiprocessors. But yeah, there are definitely disabled cores in a lot of processors for the reasons you mentioned.

I think the MTBF is generally longer than people would normally go without replacing their CPU. Also, CPUs are generally designed to degrade more gracefully. For instance, they may have circuity that scales the frequency down as delays get

I suspect it's actually done at runtime. Erlang for instance is dynamically typed, but also has pattern matching. I suspect Elixir is similar.

A lot of these actually aren't bad.

I'm guessing it has something to do with EU data privacy laws.

Would it be sufficient to just slap a big "Warning: Advanced Users Only!" label on the custom image option? I understand not wanting not-so-technical users to underestimate the difficulty of setting up a custom install and having

From the initial conversation between Baldev and Suman, it's clear that the sweet shop has been owned by Yusuf's family for several generations. Not sure how Suman knew it was the oldest though, unless Baldev told her that and the

The feeling of being separated from someone you love and missing them deeply is pretty universal. I tear up every time I see the ad.

Have you considered using something like Memcached or Redis then? There'd be some overhead sending data over a local TCP connection, but I think it would be a lot more memory-efficient.

From the top appstore review > the only problem is there's no tutorial, and it take a long time to even launch your product I'm not sure whether or not it's supposed to be a joke. But I found it pretty funny nonetheless.

Oh, I thought that was just an Instagram filter.

You're saying that they should care because if Taiwan was part of China, it wouldn't be a free country anymore. I am saying that this is false because neither of the two main parties wants Taiwan to fall under the control of the P

I think you misunderstand the political debate. Neither the KMT nor the DPP wants Taiwan to be under the control of the PRC government. The difference is that the KMT wants Taiwan and the mainland to be reunited under the ROC government, wh

The trending search term "noodles" seems to only give SFW pics of noodles or completely unrelated NSFW results.

It goes towards hiring more administrators to chase that grant money they need to make the budget even bigger.

Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't actually show the product until the very end.

Actually yeah, that's what I thought too from the title.

I mean, there are some really terrible sci-fi B-movies out there. It's sometimes hard to tell satire from actual terribleness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law I didn't really see it as satire until

Not that I'm aware of, which is rather unfortunate. One way to do this might be to take an existing open source SPICE implementation such as NGSPICE ( http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/ ) and build a GUI around it that prov

A friend of mine asked him this after we saw it in his "Inventing on Principle Talk". Here is his response: > Thanks! The tools I showed were just prototypes that I made for the talk. I don't have plans to make them into

A lot of the stuff here (especially the circuit simulator) were discussed in Inventing on Principle.

Or they can just take the executable and change the extension. Extension-based blocking doesn't really work. However, these types of files generally have magic numbers in their headers that you could inspect to determine what they are.

How do you know government intelligence agencies don't have that sort of hardware already?

Interesting. Which ones in particular were popular? And what do you consider a "systems programming language"? As I understand it, a systems programming language is a language that can be used to implement an operating system. C w

I've heard about that and it sounds awesome. Can you say anything more about its design and syntax? For instance, I've heard that you could do manual memory management in GOAL. How was that accomplished?
