Re: Microprocessor's Romance with Integers
#2An article I wrote on how subtraction (or basic arithmetic) works inside the processor. I wondered it one day and went deep into up till registers. This resulted in me learning about how exactly CPU executes code.
Its from a few years back but never posted on HN. The content is timeless because basics stay more or less the same.
Let me know your honest thoughts. I love going deep into questions my mind gets stuck on. Let me know if you want me to continue this deep dive:D

Harvard Architecture and Modified Harvard Architecture do exist as well.

Don't know how titles worked in the Austria-Hungary empire but his family had nobility titles:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann_family
(at least he's listed there)
Not sure which title and how it'd work in english but "Sir" doesn't sound off if he indeed was part of the nobility (not that you'd be forced to use it: but it may not be wrong to use it).

Harvard architecture computers use that same cycle. The difference between Harvard and von Neumann architecture is how memory is organized and used.

The author is Indian, where “Sir” is often used as an honorific substitute for “Mr.” or “Dr.”
A downstream effect of colonialism.

From Wikipedia it sounds like the closest English equivalent would be Lord John Neumann of Margitta.
Reasoning: the title was hereditary and knighthoods aren’t but peerages can be. Also peerages are often associated with with a place but knighthoods aren’t.
