I will admit that AMD has muddled things quite a bit with versions of their actual architecture being called different "architectures" and not...

These kinds of GPUs are so general purpose there is no such thing as something designed from scratch for a specific use. Only thing you can do to specialize...

[L_A_G]

We're talking about a simple tool for a simple task. If you're going to be doing anything more complex, then you're not going to be doing it in a terminal....

[L_A_G]

Oh for crying out loud... When you can figure something out at a glance, which is what Nano excels at compared to Vi, that just is more intuitive than...

[L_A_G]

Everything is relative and that includes intuitiveness of software. If you have to look up basic things like how to start editing a file, how to save...

[L_A_G]

I love how most of those OSs are either on life support or literally dead and the three that aren't, are forks of the same OS. The two OSs that have been...

[L_A_G]

Something being familiar is a wholly different thing than when it's actually intuitive. Sure, with both you get a flow going, but when you're familiar...

[L_A_G]

I've always thought of Vi as a lesson in how not to design a terminal-based utility for a relatively simple task. Some people think it's intuitive, and...

Seems like the saying "When it rains it pours" has applied unusually well to Intel over the last few years.

I mean you can go watch the talk as a video of it is available on their website......

Considering so many of these bugs are shortcuts made in the implementation of things like speculative execution, SMT and TLB that are invisible to the...

Back in 2014 I watched a presentation called "Untrusting the CPU" that had just been given at that year's Chaos Computer Communications-conference...

[L_A_G]

That example wasn't about the cross-dependencies, it was about how the cavalier attitude to bug reports and other forms of criticism combine with bad...

[L_A_G]

As someone who tries to avoid duplicating effort and suggests others do so trough things like code written in a clear and concise manner with re-use in...

[L_A_G]

Clickbait much?

Because anyone in the know will be well aware of the fact that these are mostly up to Spectre/Meltdown mitigation efforts...

[L_A_G]

At what point did I insist that people should drop what they're doing and do as I say? Did you actually read all that from my criticism of how systemD...

[L_A_G]

Not sure what you're trying to say here... My point is that most people have lots of things going on and just don't have the time to work on a replacement...

[L_A_G]

Well you have an example right now so you can stop acting like I've never explained it. Honestly, I really can't be bothered to go back trough my post...

[L_A_G]

The fact that it can be done doesn't actually prove anything other than just that; That it can be done. Never claimed that it couldn't be done, my issue...

[L_A_G]

Looks like that really hit home with the way you keep repeating a very low-effort insult after I threw it back at you.

Seriously thou, you're...
