Having more than 100mL of liquid is also not allowed, but you won't get on the no fly list for that. They'll just ask you to throw it out. Not sure about airtags, but it could be the same.

Does China have the technology and expertise to make 7nm lithography machines, or did they have to somehow import machinery from ASML?

And there's nothing to stop you from asking a friend to buy something in Germany, and shipping it to you, where VAT is 23% (Portugal smh).

foot uses software rendering only. How good is your CPU? It may have been Vsync... I think there has been progress on allowing the user to disable it.

This presentation is very good! A few days ago, I started thinking how code from a functional language could be converted to imperative code for better performance, with in-place operations (instead of object regeneration) and a complex (an

No need for cloud computing. My first CS semester was done with Termux, a cheap android tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard.

Through virtualization (Termux + QEMU), it should be possible. However, unless you're running Windows for ARM (no need for x86-64 emulation), you may get the performance of a Pentium III. Natively, though, those OSes simply don't

Maturity to fix most compiler bugs? Yes, on x86_64 (some bugs remain on other architectures). But you can still expect your code to break between zig versions.

It depends on what you're doing. My 4th low power i5 in my laptop and my i3 7100 in my main desktop are just fine for web browsing and development.

I don't know much about peak power consumption of these chips, but they are crazy efficient when idling / having little load. Plus, ARM support still sucks :-(

Though iOS is, out of the box, more private than stock (non-AOSP) Android, nothing compares to a custom ROM. You can even debloat android and disable play services, if you don't want to risk bricking your device, or if there aren'

Modern VRAM (GDDDR) runs at very high frequencies and very low latency. This makes the wiring between the RAM chips and GPU very tricky (they need to be short and the same length), so slots aren't an option. There were actually VRAM sl

The only problem I see is the 2G module, as many carriers will soon start to phase out support.

It shouldn't be too hard to write a script that objdumps a list of functions and checks if SIMD instructions are used. Strap it to your build system / CI pipeline and you're good to go. Of course, it'd be better if compi

I don't know much about CPUs, but isn't this going to increase decoder complexity and binary size? The reduction in memory accesses seems great, but can anybody tell me if there are better ways of achieving this? x86 gets more com

Thank my university for hiring more professors due to the high number of students failing functional programming. :-)

C compilers already optimize for CPU instruction order on multi-issue pipelined CPUs. Multithreading in C, however, is left as an exercise to the coder. You manually need to use locks and make sure no race conditions are occurring, which is
