The executives and board members are not delusional. According to legal precedent set by Dodge v. Ford Motor Co, a 1919 decision that held that "A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockho

To me this is exactly the problem of our times and should not be trivialized. Were there too few gatekeepers of news in the past? Maybe, but the "new" problem is that it has become too efficient (IMO) to spread misinformation whil

I was a little skeptical of take home coding exams but the more interviewing I do it seems to be a pretty efficient way to screen candidates as it is less stressful than live coding and more realistic "simulation" of the work they

Yah I am sure hardcore hackers are giving up the gig b/c they need a PHOTO of an ID! And now the ones who are legitimate have to trust a company with their IDs? This seems like a VERY weak stop-gap measure to a very difficult problem.

He calls it RISC5, one might assume but does anyone know if it is using the RISC-V ISA?

Nice work! If I could make one suggestion it would be to use hex instead of decimal. It would make the numbers easier to remember (shorter) and I think it would be easier to recognize patterns (Ie. whole scale is 0x333 and major scale 0xAB3

Agreed. My neighbor (a Mexican national in the U.S.) who has successfully started many companies is looking for a place in Canada this week. His moving will be a great loss to the U.S. economy and innovation.

Actually there is already a Scala version that is well defined. From the website https://chisel.eecs.berkeley.edu/ 'Chisel is an open-source hardware construction language developed at UC Berkeley that supports advance

Not sure but I bet that ARM is starting to pay it some attention! The great thing about being open is it allows academics and inventors to try out new ideas and have the ISA and associated "backend" flows just work without the wor

I could retire today and be very comfortable for the remainder of my days (I am 41) but man would life get boring. Even if I work on projects I haven't had time for and travelled to places I wanted to go there is still something about

I live in Austin and they literally just yesterday marked up my yard where the fiber is supposed to go. Does anyone know if they will finish the job or am I left out to dry here?

Looks interesting but its not clear to me what it is... Anyone have more noob friendly introduction?

I like to see this stuff (seems like they should have had this earlier) but to me the real market shifting is less about performance and much more about preformance/watt and unit pricing. If you can push the boundaries on those two are

Would be neat to give it real topo maps and then have it generate the towns and see how well it matches reality. Great work!

They did adopt ARM earlier than most and had a license for it that would allow them to even make innovations of the ARM core like many of the current successful chip developers but they were not able to create great comms chips like they we

They made several attempts ( http://www.cnet.com/news/intel-sells-off-communications-chip... ) but I think Intel has a huge cultural problem that does not allow for true innovation outside of core competencies. I worked

I like the idea. I wonder how much the Google Cloud Platform is costing him?

I am sort of new to this stuff but I believe Django essentially does this correctly as long as you have your site under version control. Although having a DB instance for each developer seems a little bit tricky to me but that may just be

They should have made the charge port in the back center of the car. Then while driving along a charging vehicle with a snake on the front would drive up behind and charge you up! Now that I would pay to see. You could even make it a detach

It seems like you would need some sort of formal equivalence checking if that is the flow. Is there such a thing for Chisel?

I have some of the same concerns and would like to see someone from industry who has actually done it before I spend much more time on it. My additional question is then how did the academics do it? There are some tools that negate some&#x2

So is the idea that the compiler would try and optimize it so that both code and data would be kept local in the scratchpad memory and if there was a scratchpad "miss" the cores would DMA the needed memory locations from DRAM to t

Chisel is potentially a revolution in hardware design and I am following it intently but I have not heard of anyone creating an actual chip from a standard fab as of yet. I am trying to make an argument for trying this at my work but I thin

I screamed like a little kid when I read this. I was working on UniPro 6 years ago and thought it was a great idea then. Glad to see it finally coming to market!

Okay, so as someone who is ramping up on C where would I go to learn all these common patterns? I could start going through github repos and start reading code but this seems very inefficient and I might pick up something that is actually a

Yes, I have and I found this was useful. Would like more sites like this or a central location for standard tricks which are tagged as being C99 or GNU specific.
