Yes. They should not have included any adapter at all. Those with older PSUs should have had to make a decision about whether they want an adapter or not, and then pick an adapter …

TBH NVIDIA should just have not included any adapter at all.

Agreed, not sure what other words to use instead. I think it would have been better for these cards to not have an adapter at all. I've added an EDIT to try to word this differentl…

Thanks. I've added an EDIT to clarify that I am not speculating about whether the OP read the article, and that the only point of my comment is to set the record straight for those…

That's the opposite of all other traffic rules in the UK. Cars stop on the left, which allow other cars to overtake them on the right.

Do you have some scientific references on synchronous concurrency?

The Rust module system is radically different from C and C++ and other similar languages in the embedded space. Every build system that has added support for Rust, which aren't man…

Rust already has a GCC backend that can do all that. This post is about a new front-end.

The rust compiler can already use GCC as a backend. So I don't see how this opens more platforms than that.

If you only write to the lower 32-bit of the v0 register, which could be 1024 bit wide, that claims that the hardware somehow has to allocate a 1024-bit wide register to back those…

This is not really a problem. While it is true that you can only use masks from v0, and this requires moving masks into v0 after calling a vector instruction, those moves don't act…

A person that works at Intel.

Four times the price of fully unlimited 4G for a much better connection with more availability than 4G seems fair to me. If you don't need starlink, then don't get it. But if you h…

It's ok to like OpenMP. What I disagree with is that it should be suggested to beginners as the way to parallelize their C++ programs. That's like telling a Javascript programmer t…

lol please no If you are using C++, and want to parallelize something, just add "std::execution::par" to your algorithms. Instead of writing "std::for_each(...)" just write "std::f…
