Large MMO binary game patches complete faster on my Intel 750 NVMe drive. This is a lot of small random access reads and writes. So that is one real world gain.

The AMD server line has usually been named Opteron. And by the way, Xeon CPUs aren't usually faster than regular Intel chips. They may have more cache or more cores, which might speed up some programs. But otherwise, they're the s

What would the mechanism look like for a firmware fix? The driver doesn't go through any firmware to drive the audio.

Possibly. However, the reverse is much more true. "If you don't work hard, you will not be rewarded." If you want any chance at all then you have to put in the work. For every Lindsey Sterling there's thousands of people

If it is still an issue you want to fix, you may need to resend the patch periodically. It doesn't look like you got any response at all. LKML gets hundreds of messages every day. When I used to read it I had a set of search filters to

It's only ever going to work for gmail users. For people who read their email in text-only clients this will never do anything. You know, people who use serious email, not to send pictures of balloons and 96-pt Happy Birthday in pink

Add 128 to a signed char and the compiler is free to assume it is zero/false (because undefined behavior) OR assume the value is always greater than 127 (because undefined behavior). Or if it compiles it into machine code, the result m

Sort of. Your local Git repo is fully functional even while you're disconnected.

I figured this was their way of saying they didn't want to be in the business of assembling systems. But they will for enough money.

Isn't San Francisco the same city that used made-up housing code to reject all attempts to build cheap "tiny houses" for the homeless? I seem to recall a tech multi-millionaire offering to build them FOR FREE and being denied

Yeah, well, you just can't do it that way and be fast at the same time. I mean seriously fast. What you can do is decide how your comparison should be collated and preprocess your strings into a sort key form that is strictly big-endia

You can write code to compare strings without branches. Imagine comparing one string to every string in a database column. Pad to a fixed size first (if you find an ambiguous match later you can do a full string compare then). Subtract the

You didn't click into the Weekly Editions? That's where the real good stuff is. And it is separated into categories so you can skip the kernel news page if you like.
