Sean Vanaman decided to say he would harass an independent creator with an unlawful DMCA claim because of a personal disagreement, then went on to grandstand...

I hope Campo Santo doesn't turn Valve into jerks. Cool to see Valve is looking to have a real new first-party game title, but I'm cautious about the cultural...

Cool, thanks. I was looking for a place in the area to deliver the equipment same-day, but it seems like Pisa is somewhat lacking for professional audio...

Broadcom is setting the example by showing that they can save their (and their customers'!) money by working with upstream, and in the open.

We need to have some sort of non-profit program for sending out wireless lapel microphones to people who might at some point need to record voice. It's...

[microcode]

This is what poor Greg K.H. is always on about. For some reason, people can't wrap their head around testing and shipping up to date stable and LTS kernels,...

[microcode]

Very cool, and it seems like it's generic (in fact, originally intended for ARM SoCs). A generic core kernel change yielding an almost 20% reduction in...

One wonders why they chose "profound" background music and "profound" voice acting for this ad.

You'd think they'd go...

[microcode]

Yeah, I got the information from Wikipedia, but if I went deeper I'd see that it ain't there....

The PDP-11, the first computer C was implemented for, had paged virtual addressing and a separate execution mode for the kernel and userspace processes;...

Given that Polaris has a VP9 decoder in hardware, I'm guessing this is for the encoder side?

[microcode]

What does the addressing size have to do with the language? Why are you still talking about the PDP-7, even though C has nothing to do with the PDP-7?...

[microcode]

How is this "one of the biggest problems in linux land". Have you ever written software? Language choice isn't such a big deal, but I can think...

[microcode]

Well, it wouldn't be that well suited for that. BeOS was originally conceived as a workstation/desktop operating system. Back in the day they tried to...

I wonder how much of IBM's pricing for these chips is cream. They could be making a huge mistake with pricing on these, unless they want the whole software...

[microcode]

Because there is a point of diminishing returns, where the lower productivity imposed by not using a HLL like C is worse than the lower productivity caused...

[microcode]

There's a good reason not to mess around with multiple sockets: state management on the server (and client!) becomes considerably more difficult....

[microcode]

Working open source OpenCL (closer to performance you can see with the proprietary packages) would be a huge thing (especially with OpenPOWER, AArch64,...

Isn't there already a bit of a FreeBSD (9.x) port as a result of Orbis/PS4?

[microcode]

Man, the state of things seems pretty bad in big desktop land. I have a 144Hz display as of recent, and I can't imagine how frustrating it would be if...
