i like how even if i can parse most of it it does sound like technically accurate technobabble, could be of inspiration for a tv show :D

who's talking about owning a zettaflop on earth? The second part of sustainable growth is growth after all

Always wondered if it is possible/useful to model multi core CPU caches as CISC cores where the complex instructions are all the operations you can do with the L1 within the time frame of an L2 access

Took me a while to recognize it’s satire because I’ve seen some of these proposed unironically in the wild :,)

Good post, for what is worth Java is slowly and painfully correcting course with features like records and project Valhalla. As with the other language improvements though we will have to live with the tech debt for decades to come…

My point was that maybe the improved mechanical performance would help with their own weight. I concede that a more expensive, heavier overhead line that could hang for longer distances does not sound good unless costs are dominated by tower construction

would this be useful for better power lines? assuming electrical conductivity is about the same, as implied by the article

Cool to see how swift wire payments works in practice, but using JS floating point numbers for money amounts is a disaster waiting to happen

would this be doable with overlayFS using a tmpfs to prepare a snapshot?

That does not sound reasonable, why would the shim ever need to be signed with the same key? why can't a system supporting App Archive make an exception for the shim? if it can't for hardware reason, why can't they ask key owner to sign the shim app? That would degrade security but is not as bad as requiring to give away the private key.

I wonder what would happen with a molecule with this shape, what would happen to a crystal with this configuration?
