I've wondered for a while whether it would make sense to split the CPU into a "IOPU" and a "SPU" - The IOPU would be responsible for directing other hardware on the system. It does…

This precedent definitely won't be abused. Or at least most people here seem to think that? I wish the article would go into detail what exactly the "transgressive behaviour" is, b…

You're thinking of single address space OSes. I do not believe such OSes can ever be secure given how often vulnerabilities are found in web browsers's JS engines alone. Besides, A…

For an I/O heavy application (not in C++) I avoid threads for the main "loop" as there is a central cache that is accessed often. Synchronizing access to it is likely more expensiv…

Meanwhile I've never encountered these "netiquettes" whoever I'm talking to. Perhaps every generation isn't a monoculture.
