She wasn't a dude, she was an employee. But she did enjoy rounding up teenagers to visit the BB-gun booth, and gave them all Barney pictures to shoot up, and then autographed them.
People always said Heartbeeps was the worst sci-fi movie ever. And while it is one of my favorite movies, I always agreed; it was one of the best Romantic Comedies ever, but it would really suck if viewed as sci-fi.
I'm now coming to understand that it was really a documentary about the future. And the lesson is, if you want to find happiness in the future, plan to recycle it at the dump while hiding from the authoritays.
Population is an improvement, for sure. But it still leaves a lot of confounders that relate to the political borders.
It might make sense to use the whole economic regions, Europe vs North America, and then normalize by population. That would at least give a rough comparison.
Why do you presume that my ability to communicate hinges on you personally being able to comprehend my statements? Lets just clear that up right now; I write for people capable of comprehension. Even if it is less than 1% of the people whose eyes pass over the page, that is still who I'm targeting.
If you didn't comprehend what I said, that gives you no information at all about my success at communicating.
There, now you can say you've seen the formula. I doubt it helped you to understand anything, though.
I was actually thinking that if they had more understanding of the hardware, they'd have a better idea what the layers actually are, and they'd end up with more portable code not less portable code as you seem to imply. Knowing about how hardware works helps to be more hardware agnostic, because if you're using intermediate layers with no idea of the hardware and OS coupling that it creates then you'll do it more often.
What technical advantages does it have over Linux. Most benchmarks I've seen clearly show linux has a huge advantage.
When you see them crying over systemd, don't bother looking for these "technical reasons" that you seek. It is the neckbeard talking. And it isn't even connected to the eyes or ears. It may receive enough of the low-level vibrations to bleat back a key word, but that's as much as you're going to get out of it.
I ran it on my desktop for a couple years, but it was just *nix, nothing special.
If you needed "support," I'm surprised you'd have still been using it past the first week.
But your aversion to Codes explains a lot. You're simply allergic to following instructions. This explains both sides; why you can't computer and need hand-holding, and why you're no good at having your hand held.
You're right that they're garbage people. Awful, horrible, [pejorative] people. They agree. It means you're not supposed to talk to them, or try to tell them about your problems. They thank you for your understanding. But not in person. In person they're going to call the cops on you for trespassing, or at least G:line you.
No, it means you have no currency with which to purchase increased respect from the software you use.
It is priced in dignity because you have to be sufficiently motivated to do the extra work needed. If you have enough dignity not to be willing to suffer the vagaries of software for the masses, you might be able to afford to use this!
Hey, there, some fucking asshole here to point out that if I, or some other embedded programmer ever actually needs to use this shit we don't need OS support for it. There is absolutely no good reason to get these types of features in the OS. If I can't fit linux on the platform, I don't want to compile it smaller; I can't fit my app in either in that case. When you hit that sort of wall, you need to either spend more money on hardware, or quit trying to use a fat OS like linux.
Linux is a great server OS, but it actually sucks as an embedded OS; it is optimized for throughput, which gives benefits when you have a fatter system. The only reason that it is used a lot on "embedded" systems is because those a are larger systems that simply have a different UI than a desktop. It is great for that. But it sucks when you're resource-constrained.
Just because the BOFH didn't explain their reasons, doesn't mean they were irrational. It only means you're not important enough to know. And the BOFH is probably an engineer.
Modern memory-constrained systems are not x64, though. They're ARM. The type of memory constraints that x86 systems have are not at the scale that benefits from accessing half a register.
And when you're programming an embedded system that is that memory-constrained, it is perfectly normal to have sections of inline ASM. So that is what you'd do if you actually needed this.
And generally when things are that constrained you're not using linux anyways. That's the real point. People accessing half a register are running Mbed OS or FreeRTOS or something. Before you want this feature, you already switched to ARM, and you probably also then went smaller than linux.
They don't do CS, they send everybody who wants higher education to med school. Health professionals are their main export, so it seems a bit silly to try to make them look uneducated. Yeah, those dumb pinko Cubans, they're only smart enough to be medical doctors! LOL
We're also leading the world in dumb-asses who think they know something sciencey but don't know that the tabletop cold fusion experiment was a success that has repeated over and over again. They're such incredible dumb-asses that they read about the biggest mystery in modern physics and they're all like, "Hurr durr hoax durrrrr that's impoisiboil"
We're leading the world in people who are willing to declare in writing that they're literate, but are incapable of understanding the details of published facts that they claim to already know about.
At least in China some aliterate asshole probably knows they didn't read anything, or have book smurts.

My friend was Barney at the carnival for 3 years.
She wasn't a dude, she was an employee. But she did enjoy rounding up teenagers to visit the BB-gun booth, and gave them all Barney pictures to shoot up, and then autographed them.
Found the guy who didn't even know the goat stuff was deviant!
Are those dried grits in your neckbeard???!

That's not what that means. That means that if it is done at the Federal level, the tax rate has to be same everywhere.
This is at the State level, because the FCC isn't Congress and can't pass a tax. And Congress would never do it, they have to stand for election.
You don't even say anything about what you think wouldn't be uniform.
You don't have Democracy, that's why you don't get to vote on which wet noodle leads your country.
As is true in every other Representative Parliamentary system, none of your leaders would have actually won a national election.
As we learned from the Stargate documentary, if you want to Ascend, your physical body does have to die.

Well, if they have that much confidence, maybe they really do have a bigger e-peen?

To be fair, you either wouldn't want to, or you'd want to really bad. Depending.
This should only save space, not cycles. A 64 bit computer takes the same time to do a 64 bit or 32 bit operation. This is all about pointer size.
The same thing exists on 32 bit machines, where it is normal to support both 32 and 16 bit pointers.

Hey Ivan, welcome back!
For today's English lesson, go and look up Ms. and Miss.
Stop complaining about the summary when you don't even understand basic English. Try running it through Google Translate or something.

They don't do CS, they send everybody who wants higher education to med school. Health professionals are their main export, so it seems a bit silly to try to make them look uneducated. Yeah, those dumb pinko Cubans, they're only smart enough to be medical doctors! LOL
And you don't even need Princeton if you remember to include Cornell :)
The EU isn't any more a country than "Europe" is, though.
It is like calling NAFTA a country.
It is a region that cooperates closely on governance. We have that in North America, too.
