If AAPL thinks QCOM doesn't add proportional value to their phone, let them sell their phone without QCOM ip. Because we all know AAPL takes its proportional percentage of flesh from an app developer for having the audacity to add valu

The specific part of your comment, which is true, is, yes, I am essentially warning that you can do your absolute best to raise a child and put their interests (as you see it) ahead of your own, and they still may end up hating you for it.

As a counterpoint to some platitudes expressed here, let me say this: I unequivocally hate my dad. The reasons are complicated, and personal. But there is something I know with absolute certainty. Everything he ever did in relation to me w

Sure, this is one technique. You could also, akin to jump instructions, have a concept of data locality, versus instruction locality. You can do this is a lot of ways without resorting to something like segmentation, which everybody hates.

You sound like an architecture person (I'm not, btw), so maybe you can give the lowdown on this. Why registers? I haven't studied the Tomasulo algorithm in any detail, but if you're going to do "register renaming",

I can understand the historical requirements for alignment, the necessary transistors, what not. But, much like branch-delay slots, there is no modern reason to expose this to the programmer. Of course, I gave an exception to atomics, but i

I understand. What I mean is that if your word-size is not your addressing-size, you'd better not have a concept of mis-aligned accesses. It's trouble you brought on all by yourself.

I'm probably the only weirdo that thinks this, but if you support byte-addressing you'd better as well be happy with byte-alignment. Atomics being the only place where it's reasonable to be different. Which brings me to paddi

I used to be a big champion of RISC-V, just look at my submission history, but I've become increasingly weary due to SiFive's dubious leadership. 1) It's still impossible for anyone to get their hands on an FE310 chip over ha

Seriously, if my ISP was forced to have no Gmail tomorrow, I'd flip out, and change ISPs (thankfully I have that option).

To clarify, the author uses CDNs to indicate the content silos that are goog, appl, amzn, fb, etc., which is not traditional usage. But in light of this, I see him as essentially correct. Any one of them could demand payment from ISPs for t

This would be my "primary driver" had they implemented LTE, GPS, and no-nonsense USB tethering. I don't need, nor want, anything else. Also, get off my lawn.
