The first issue is due to the assumption that character count equals character display width. Thai tone markers usually[1] should not contribute to the display width (เพื่อน is chars = 6, width = 4), so it caused a layout shift. The second

When I still used Git, I used to have a minimized `magit-init.el` that essentially did: (setq user-emacs-directory (format "~/.emacs.d/magit/%s/" emacs-version)) (setq custom-file (concat user-emacs-d

Oh thanks. Corrected. My brain saw TW (instead of TC) and short-circuited that as a language name for some reason!

I also have to use LINE every day, and I can't say I love it (but it's either this or Facebook). They've been trying to push LINE Premium and LINE AI very hard (at least in Japan) to the point that some features are now block

As someone who regularly works with Japanese and Thai, I'm very excited about this, given it has English, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and Traditional Chinese as its basic set. Thai itself is complex to layout[^a], and it can be very hard t

It's still mind-blowing to me to think that a decade earlier this would have been a few racks. Now it just fits within 1U or 2U. What an insane world we live in.

N150 is still using the old Gracemont core (same as N100, but with higher clock). From there, there is Crestmont (node-shrink Gracemont in Meteor Lake), and Skymont (in Lunar Lake/Arrow Lake), whose performance is already comparable to

This is more of a successor to the Xeon 6E (Xeon 6700E / Sierra Forest-SP), which had 144 cores. There was supposed to be a 288-core variant (presumably Xeon 6900E / Sierra Forest-AP), but they never released it to the public. I w

My rough mental Intel driver matrix is something like this (might not be entirely correct): iGPU: | Arch | KMD | DRI (Mesa) | Vulkan (Mesa) | VA | | ----------------------

i915 is still the main kernel mode driver on Linux for every Intel GPUs up to Alchemist. xe kmd is used by Battlemage by default (as of 6.12). There's a Mesa DRI driver, called i965 (originally made for Broadwater chipset, thus the 965

Fun anecdote: Thailand's entire banking network (including regular wire transfer) was implemented with ISO 8583 (!). Part of the AnyID master plan (later renamed to PromptPay) was to replace the country's (ab)usage of ISO 8583 wit

It's also a hardware problem. For example, Alchemist's EUs being SIMD8 but games requiring SIMD16, so it needs to be dispatched to two EUs in a lockstep, or the lack of support for Execute Indirect instruction commonly used in UE5

Not an app, but some USB testers (e.g. POWER-Z KM003) can do this by reading an e-Marker chip on the cable. I'm not sure if there's a way to access eMarker purely through software without some sort of driver support, though.

DDR5 doesn't have an In-Band ECC. What they have is On-Die ECC, and is not visible to the memory controller (i.e. error information won't be reported by EDAC), and only corrects 1-bit when they're stored/retrieved, where

by sirn 2y ago
ECC is supported on any higher end 12th/13th Gen, but it's locked behind a chipset feature lock. If you can find any board that uses W680 (e.g. W680D4U-2L2T which can be had on Amazon for $569), then it's possible to use ECC

by sirn 2y ago
Some N100 do have In-Band ECC (which uses the same data lane as regular memory channel, so less usable memory space/effective memory bandwidth), such as the Beelink S12 Pro box (DDR4) and is recognized by EDAC subsystem on Linux.

Some comments: - You don't really need to repeat built-in VCLs in default.vcl. In the article, you can omit `vcl_hit`, `vcl_miss`, `vcl_purge`, `vcl_synth`, `vcl_hash`, etc. If you want to modify the behavior of built-in VCL, e.g. addi

Do you know which BIOS/microcode you were running before updating to 0x129? Multicore workload should never hit anywhere near 1.55V which is the cap from 0x129, and 13700K should be capable of doing 5.4GHz at 1.3V even with the worst b

This is why I think it's going to be much harder for Xeon to be affected by this, as they're normally running in a more conservative voltage settings. I don't have Xeon E-2400 to look at, but Raptor Lake should be able to do

The concept is the same (given a definition file, build a package from a central repo, aka ports-like), but one of the features of PKGBUILD has is that it's easy to build an ad-hoc package outside the main tree. For example, you can do
