So, could it be a feasable for a Zen CPU to have multiple microcode banks it switches between, so that it can run code in multiple architectures? For example, in addition to x86, some microcode for running WebAssembly or Java bytecode with

If you are going to specific devrooms instead of specific talks, you usually don't need to wait in line before getting in. At least that was my experience last year: I got there early in the morning and the rooms were not very full.

From what I understand, this core tries to ourperform the A75 in IPC whilst using less area. However, the P550 cores run at a lower frequency (1.4GHz) than the A75 (2GHz). I wonder if this optimization for area, like in Zen4c, makes it impo

You can use bubblewrap, the sandbox Flatpak uses. However, the command lines will get pretty long.

If these vapes are disposable, wouldn't it be cheaper for the manufacturers to use non-rechageable battery technologies like the many ones on AA(A) batteries?

From what I read, Greece's policy was (partially) due to labour shortages during the tourism season, while Japan has lots of workers who work many unproductive hours (some just go to the office for the sake of going). I'd say they

If the tablet has both mainline kernel and uboot, it shouldn't be too hard for someone with embbeded Linux experience to port other distros over. However, there's quite a learning curve to doing it yourself.

That was possible before when targeting RV32. If I understand correctly, this makes it possible for LLVM to use all RISC-V extensions supported by the core with a simple command line (the patch describes what features the core supports), re

Even if someone got unsigned machine code execution on V8's or SpiderMonkey's JIT, the same could happen on JavaScript Core. All browsers could be vulnerable to something like this (it's just a matter of time before a vulnera

Most people are just concerned about economic and social issues, and the implications this proposal has on freedom of speech and what that means to democracy seems to be unknown to most. In Portugal, this proposal was not debated nor was it

From an ethical perspective, tech monopolies aren't a very good idea. However, from a purely economics standpoint, tech giants make up a not insignificant part of the US's GDP.

Yes, but the part that got me was the halving of the result followed by the clamping. SIMD generally makes sense, but for something like this to exist usually there's something very specific (like a certain video codec, for example) th

Support for PHP7 has been discontinued. It's a matter of security, and performance is a plus. Upgrading systems has its cost, but the cost of data loss or leakage, exploitable through software that will not be patched anymore, will cos

Demolishing these structures is simply unnecessary. Just put a sign up that says that, by crossing the bridge, you're responsible for any harm to yourself or others. In Portugal, for example, there are plenty of old structures, like me

I usually just use a spreadsheet when I'm down to a few options. That way, I can compare stuff like IO, battery life from independent testers, etc., things that just aren't present in comparison websites.

As a westerner, when Japanese names are written out, I like having the family name capitalized. That way, you can write YAMADA Koji or Koji YAMADA, and I'll know what to call you.
