qemu used to use that technique, but as you note, it was pretty brittle. They switched to the more traditional TCG backend.

Seconded enthusiastically. That dam tour is amazing. Did it in 2007 or so. Expect potential weirdness though. My wife was wearing a (not particularly short) skirt, and the lady at the office selling tour tickets made her step back and spin

Everyone? Intel, at the time the unquestioned world leader in semiconductor fabrication was so unable to accurately predict the end of Dennard scaling that they rolled out the Pentium 4. "10Ghz by 2010!" was something they predict

I arguably owe a successful career in tech to my dad seeing a $99 deal on a TI-99 after they were discontinued in the mid 80's and buying it just because he had had a shortwave receiver as a child and saw some weird similarity. Unbekno

I've never understood why Intel didn't just soft-disable AVX512 on P-cores until the OS writes a value to some MSR that means "I understand that only some cores have AVX512". From the OS side, the change to support it is

I run kodi via OSMC on a Vera V. It comes with a dedicated remote (though it does support CEC), which solves #1, at the cost of having an extra remote. I mainly hit #2 when scrubbing, often (worse on some compression types than others), it&

Most of the Intel cache partitioning things were driven primarily by Google. The holy grail was to colocate latency-sensitive tasks with bulk background tasks to increase cluster utilization.

DACs are usually twin-ax, which is just 2 coax cables bundled. The shielding matters a lot, compared to unshielded twisted pairs. Faster parallel DACs require more pairs of coax, and thus are thicker and more expensive.

A HRV or ERV, depending on how humid it is where you live will help immensely. Unfortunately hard to retrofit into existing construction.

If the monitors are 3ft away from the musician, they're already looking at 3ms of latency just in the air between the monitor and their ear.

Thanks for the correction. I hadn't thought of 1bpp because it isn't interesting on VGA hardware. But you're absolutely right about 4bpp having been a thing.

320x200 at 256 colors. X doesn't support any depth lower than 8bit, so VGA 640x480 wouldn't work.

What? MacOS in 2000 was still old MacOS, with no compositing at all. The NeXT derived version of MacOS was still in beta, and I tried it back then, it was very rough. Even once OSX shipped in 2001, it was still software composited. Quartz E
