These days with the depth of pipelining and reorder buffers of modern processors and SMT, back-to-back cache misses are not a big deal at all. Unless...

For sysadmin purposes, shell scripts were considered fast enough for huge amounts of standard functionality... need I say more than SYSV Init? Speed...

You've forgotten how much the definition of RAD has evolved.

In 1991 IBM's published the RAD development model. Before that it was largely...

BTW web development performance impact of mitigations is really very low. I spend most of my time in the IDE which is Java-based, and most others will...

[linuxgeex]

Java's RAD days are long gone. The JRE is so massive that compiling takes far longer than C, even when JITting with jar files. That doesn't stop you from...

[linuxgeex]

For FOSS, less lines of code = less effort expended by the magnitude of eyes the community has focused on it, which means it's more likely to be bug-free...

Firefox ESR is pretty nice, still supports the plugins I enjoy, and will keep supporting Adobe Flash for 5 years after Firefox and Chrome dump it, in...

Why would google kick them out for having a $2 paid-through-the-app-store sponsored version of their app? Sorry but you're really not being very cle...

You're correct that BFloat16 can't hold UINT10 with full accuracy, but it can still do a tremendously better job than a UInt8 filter chain can.

Simple workarounds:
1) About link in app to About link on developer website with donation link there.
2) "Upgrade" link for $2 with...

re: the whole grub issue... I miss the days when I just configured the bootstrap devices as NOT modules, and set the root partition via KConfig, then...

The quality of the sources of entropy aren't really a big deal unless the consumer of the data is highly aware of the source behaviour, and is sampling...

[linuxgeex]

Cool. I'm glad you have the energy to explore it lol. I noticed the median temp delta and I've had poor experiences over the last 18 years with SuSE's...

[linuxgeex]

All very true. The duration being similar is based on the assumption that the test suite runs enough times for the durations to "settle down"...

[linuxgeex]

This would be very easy to manipulate if you are controlling the majority of the threads.

Good sources of non-deterministic entropy that...

[linuxgeex]

It will be for low-power SOCs where they figure they can get away with just adding the ISA features instead of a dedicated AI core, in circumstances where...

[linuxgeex]

The reason I want the total power at the wall for the duration of the suite is because it would provide a total for all the runs, which is a good indication...

[linuxgeex]

This is one area where RISC-V will crucify ARM - early adoption of new ISA features. Not because ARM is necessarily doing anything wrong, but because...

[linuxgeex]

The total kWh consumed to complete the entire test suite, at the wall outlet, would be a much better indicator of overall platform efficiency with the...

[linuxgeex]

LXC/LXD are fancy chroots and as such they will do the job I requested. KVM would defeat the purpose entirely....
