So, could it be a feasable for a Zen CPU to have multiple microcode banks it switches between, so that it can run code in multiple architectures? For example, in addition to x86, s…

If you are going to specific devrooms instead of specific talks, you usually don't need to wait in line before getting in. At least that was my experience last year: I got there ea…

From what I understand, this core tries to ourperform the A75 in IPC whilst using less area. However, the P550 cores run at a lower frequency (1.4GHz) than the A75 (2GHz). I wonder…

You can use bubblewrap, the sandbox Flatpak uses. However, the command lines will get pretty long.

And interestingly for a graphing calculator, it lacks an FPU, and all floating point math has to be done in software.

If these vapes are disposable, wouldn't it be cheaper for the manufacturers to use non-rechageable battery technologies like the many ones on AA(A) batteries?

From what I read, Greece's policy was (partially) due to labour shortages during the tourism season, while Japan has lots of workers who work many unproductive hours (some just go …

If the tablet has both mainline kernel and uboot, it shouldn't be too hard for someone with embbeded Linux experience to port other distros over. However, there's quite a learning …

That was possible before when targeting RV32. If I understand correctly, this makes it possible for LLVM to use all RISC-V extensions supported by the core with a simple command li…

Even if someone got unsigned machine code execution on V8's or SpiderMonkey's JIT, the same could happen on JavaScript Core. All browsers could be vulnerable to something like this…

Fixed deputy -> MEP. Thanks!

Most people are just concerned about economic and social issues, and the implications this proposal has on freedom of speech and what that means to democracy seems to be unknown to…

From an ethical perspective, tech monopolies aren't a very good idea. However, from a purely economics standpoint, tech giants make up a not insignificant part of the US's GDP.

I don't know about singular posts, but if you wish to delete your account and all your data, they must comply.

Yes, but the part that got me was the halving of the result followed by the clamping. SIMD generally makes sense, but for something like this to exist usually there's something ver…

What task benefits from using such a complex instruction so easily dividable in simpler ones for it to be present in aarch64?

But charging through many ports requires extra circuitry to support more power on every port, while booting from multiple ports just requires the boot sequence firmware to talk to …

Their argument doesn't even make any sense - rice particles may damage your already damaged phone.

They "can" because nothing will happen to them. Is anyone really going to sue?

Support for PHP7 has been discontinued. It's a matter of security, and performance is a plus. Upgrading systems has its cost, but the cost of data loss or leakage, exploitable thro…

Demolishing these structures is simply unnecessary. Just put a sign up that says that, by crossing the bridge, you're responsible for any harm to yourself or others. In Portugal, f…

I usually just use a spreadsheet when I'm down to a few options. That way, I can compare stuff like IO, battery life from independent testers, etc., things that just aren't present…

How likely is the rice contamination? I've been reheating rice all my life and never got food poisoning from it.
