Random inconsistencies such as using push/pop for individual registers instead of pusha/popa for space constrained bits or setting the same register to the same value twice in a row. Not to even mention that random WORDS are capit

Honestly, I agree. I just can’t bring myself to trust an organization that allows these types of underhanded things to happen in the first place. The fact that this behavior even got to customers raises a lot of red flags for me.

On the note of PG&E, my electric bill averages to about $750 despite only running an air conditioner, several device chargers, a router, some lights and a fridge... Thanks PG&E.

Don't forget the word "epic" (in terms of the literary definition).

Perhaps I am the odd one out here, but a small part of me wants to see what happens when you run a proprietary SOTA model on a laptop.

That just ended up inadvertently reminding me, Windows Vista is actually almost old enough to be at the minimum legal drinking age in the US. Windows 8 is nearly a decade and a half old as well. Time really does fly.

This almost sounds like The Monkey's Paw by Jacobs.

Kinda sorts. The systems that the "MacOS on CHRP" thing ran on had a very strange looking device tree, with some bizarre combination of PC and Mac peripherals. Apple Cobra Open Firmware CHRP 1.1 B3 built on 08/18/97

Mildly related, sort of, one can prevent expansion of variadic macros as follows: #define printf(...) int (printf)(const char *, ...); I keep on seeing many random code bases just resort to #undef instead...

You also get "Program Files (ARM)" (including a complementary "SysArm32") on older arm64 systems too.

At least since maybe the DEC Alpha 21264. It could address 48-bits of VA space, but that comes with caveats due to PALcode specific intricacies. I think VMS (or was it Tru64?) uses this mode, but many other OSes just use 43-bit or 40-bit ad

LLVM SPIR-V's backend is a bit... questionable when it comes to code generation.

Don't forget the infamous pattern used in some C projects too: struct foo decl = { .member = /* ... */ .next = &(struct nested_pointer) { .nested_member = /* ... */, }, .array = (stru

Kind of. NIR is more oriented towards lowering and optimizing code for driver backends, as far as I know. SPIR-V is targeted towards the other end of the spectrum.

Sounds about right. VMS is the only OS (that I know of) that uses all 4 processor privilege modes. Side note: The 21064 has such bizarre IPR mappings, the read values have lots of bits scrambled around compared to their write counterparts.

The Alpha architecture was 64-bit from the very beginning (though the amount of addressable virtual memory and physical memory depends on the processor implementation). I think it goes something like: - 2106x/EV4: 34-bit physical,

You’re not alone. I do the same, but often I keep the text editor in dark mode but the rest of the system on light mode to help provide contrast.
