How hard could it be?
  • I said modern programming languages. I do not consider C a modern language. The point still stands about abstraction in modern languages. You don’t need to understand memory allocation to code in modern languages, but the understanding will greatly benefit you.

    I still contend that knowledge of the cpu pipeline is important or else your code will wind up with a bunch of code that is constantly resulting in CPU interrupts. I guess you could say you can code in assembly without knowledge of the cpu architecture, but you won’t be making any code that runs better the output code from other languages.

  • Intel optimizes slimmed-down X86S instruction set — revision 1.2 eliminates 16-bit and 32-bit features
  • If those instruction sets take up a set place on the processing pipeline, eliminating them could be a huge performance boost. Additionally, the removal of the instruction sets would reduce the size of the chip’s die which could result in shorter signal paths.

  • NATO apologism
  • You can’t tell the difference in alluding to someone being gullible and calling someone a triggered cat puke? One is a comment on your behavior (swallowing marketing) and the other is a direct insult. One might be a personal attack, the other one definitely is. Just be kind.

  • Snopes: [True] Project 2025 Wants All **Public** High School Students To Take Military Entrance Exam?
  • For those not familiar with it, it is an aptitude test that covers a wide range of topics. The results can be informational. Beware if you score well enough to fill a job in the army that is really understaffed, you will never get the recruiters to stop calling.

    He can vote too
  • 100 is just the average. Most people score within 15 points in either direction of the average. The point being that 2 digit IQ occurs in about half the population. That said, his 79 still means he is dumb.
