I need a second opinion on this, the article sounds a bit click-baity to me. If L3 really is 4 cycles slower, how much does it _actually_ affect performance? Specially given that L3 can now be made much larger.

Maybe that's why CCP took the company from him? Not enough totalitarian work conditions?

I disagree. Binary compatibility is bare minimum for any cpu project. Riscv as the new kid on town, and after basically promising a CPU revolution, needs to achieve far more than that. ARM is currently moving towards a standard and open boo

"Great Resignation" = after some soul searching during the lockdown, I realized I want to the other things with my life. There are still people on the fence, so this will continue 1-2 more years.

How old is this idea? At a conference years ago, someone proposed the idea of using this as the _only_ security mechanism in really tiny embedded systems. The implementation was 100-200 bytes in total.

When did "walled garden" become a taboo word? It is not an impossibility, we simply don't know. Just flagging comments _you_ find tiresome is not good for the discussion.

> Why did Germany put itself into this strange Russian dependency is also very strange. Because they wanted to go green but also have a really, _really_ bad case of NIMBY.

Is this an official Steam recommendation? BTW, it hurts me to see GP being flagged. Please discuss your arguments instead of flagging comments you don't agree with.

Looks interesting, although I am not sure if it is worth the trouble for hobbyist who can buy similar SOCs in much more friendly packages. A commenter compalined about his "negative and accusatory language". Where does he see that

Yeah, but once we had the proof we realized that the conspiracy theorists around the world wouldn't recognize a real conspiracy it it hit them on the head. Why do you think the UFO and Area-51 conspiracy theories peaked around that tim

Most pipewire users here seem to be arch users with access to bleeding edge releases. But how does PW work for, say, Debian/Ubuntu users?

Counterpoint 1: Sweden delayed locking down nursing homes and then implemented it really poorly. A huge percentage of COVID deaths were due to a nurse getting sick, coming to work anyway and basically killing half of the residents. Without
