It depends on the country I guess. In Spain I never saw a person using Texas Instruments calculators. Casio and HP are way more popular.

There are several RISC-V machines. In the microcontroller world it's becoming more and more usual, but those won't have RVV. SpacemiT K3 based machines are probably your best bet w…

Big fan of hedger! It's not easy to start but I think it's one of the best ways to keep track of accounting, PTA files are very convenient. They leave you with lots of options thou…

They need a JavaScript runtime to execute some challenges that certain pages present (like YouTube)

This is written from a French perspective as if southern countries joined later because they were not as developed. Quite the opposite. Spain, Italy and Portugal were in the first …

As someone who lives in Spain, a country that also has a tradition of siestas (that's where that name comes from after all), I have a lot of doubts and I think people romanticize t…

RK3588 is well supported right now and is present in many SBCs

The last time I attended a mass (Spain) it was about some people in the village that were not helping the church enough (with an activity they had to do but also I think there was …

In Spain many parts of the Internet are shut down when there's a LaLiga match to "prevent piracy". They usually block Cloudflare as a whole but also Vercel, GitHub,... had issues. …

I'm on O2 in Spain and loads fine for me. That's interesting

It is still GPL, it is still free software, the source code is there. Only the Windows and macOS binaries are behind a paywall, but you can build yourself the binaries, or use it o…

Updated to 39 people now, but probably the number can still go up

Yes, I often say that the gold from America was a poisonous gift. It made the country so rich that they stopped caring about other stuff, they could just buy them from elsewhere. S…

Loongson started with MIPS CPUs but current CPUs are not MIPS-compatible. LoongArch, while being very similar to MIPS, uses a different encoding. And some other details have change…

It's not. Before LoongArch, Loongson made MIPS64 CPUs. But this is about LoongArch which is similar but incompatible with MIPS64.

Impressive post, so many details. I could only understand some parts of it, but I think this article will probably be a reference for future graphics API. I think it's fair to say …

At least where I work, writing new Java code is discouraged and you should instead use Kotlin for backend services. Spring Boot which is the framework we use, supports Kotlin just …

So sorry for your loss. Some months ago I was very angry to found out that a person was dead for a bike injury that can be easily solved but he had to wait for almost 50 minutes fo…

After a quick research, there's no evidence of a bridge there and it seems difficult to do even for Romans. But there could have been some people with boats in Cale to help cross t…

As always with this kind of stuff, there are so many inaccuracies, at least in the parts I know of. Roads are mostly ok, although some of them are more like "suppositions" that rea…

Having learned assembly with the book "Computer Organization And Design" from Patterson and Hennessy, it really shows how much RISC-V takes from MIPS. After all they share some of …
