When you use Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) to connect the layers together, you would start to end up with scaling limits, similar to the problems of elevators in skyscrapers: the more layers you have, the higher the density of TSVs would (pre

Presumably it's to ensure good contact with the next thermal management layer (heat spreader, heat-sink, etc.)

The UK Highway Code was revised a few years ago to explicitly allow and even recommend cycling two-abreast[1]. 1: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/rules-for-cycli...

Yeah, the British space industry has struggled; principally with investment. Reaction Engines largely went under because they ran out of money and their investors declined to put more money in. My hope with Pulsar Fusion is that their exist

There's also Pulsar Fusion, a UK company currently building a Dual Direct Fusion Drive (DDFD). They claim: > Modelling shows that this technology can potentially propel a spacecraft with a mass of about 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) to Pluto

I find it a bit bizarre that this JEP doesn't enable Compact Object Headers by default. Most users will not know to specifically enable it, so if they're that confident in its stability and performance, why not enable it for eve

This is why I generally use Terraform for Kubernetes. It's not perfect, but it's miles better than the various different YAML-templating solutions (Kustomize, Helm) popular in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

Isn't this essentially the same problem with Dark Matter though? They keep looking for it, not finding it and proclaiming "well, it must be somewhere else!". I always got the impression that when Dark Matter was initially lab

It always irks me that discussion of space debris invariably talks about their high velocity relative to the ground , which is completely meaningless. What really matters is their velocity relative to each other , which of course will var

Nitpick: the UK doesn't vote for a Prime Minister. Since the last election, there have been 3 Prime Ministers, so you could argue that 2 of them are "unelected".

ISO-8859-1 (aka. Latin-1) is a superset of ASCII, so all ASCII strings are also valid Latin-1 strings. The section you quoted actually suggests that implementations should support ISO-8859-1 to ensure compatibility with systems that use it.

They honestly should be blacklisted after the Horizon scandal. Allowing them to get away with it sets a precedent that could encourage other companies to behave just as irresponsibly. As it stands, is yet another example of privatising prof

This is a false-equivalence. "Milk" is not a trademarked brand name like "Coca Cola" or "ChatGPT", it's a category of food/drink. You can't trademark "milk" in the same way you can&#x27

There's nothing sudden about it. Many regional (mostly city) accents have common mis-pronounciation. "th" being mis-pronounced as either "f" or "v" was extremely common in the area I grew up 20+ years ago,

Towards the bottom of the JEP, they mention that the ultimate goal is 32 bit object headers, which would necessitate object monitors be tracked on-demand in a side table. That's what the parent was getting at.

The improvement in throughput is tantalising. I'd love to see a comparison to the G1GC throughput. I wonder if it's getting close enough that ZGC might some day become a candidate to replace G1 as the default collector?

I'm not an expert in this but... If DNA is like a blueprint, mRNA is like an email sent from the architect to the contractor to instruct them to carry out specific work.

mRNA vaccines don't meddle with your DNA. They inject mRNA in to cells that _temporarily_ instruct the cell to produce a specific protein. Once the mRNA is exhausted, the cell stops producing that protein.

No. It's a Singleton type, which means that instead of just being a String, it has to be exactly the String "Scala". i.e. val x: "scala" = "scala" // would compile val y: "scala" = &quo

Now that there's an article about this on BBC News, I wonder how much this firm will suffer from the Streisand Effect[1]. It was foolish of the defendant to not attend the hearing. I can't understand why he didn't. 1: https:
