In this case, it’s a feature of the language that enables developers to implement greater amounts of parallelism. So, the developers of the Python-based application will need to refactor to take advantage of it.

It’s also, I find, much more widely supported on a wider variety of hardware and with easier config automation.

Platinum Preppy. Cheap and cheerful with the capability of taking a converter, different nips, and being converted into a refillable marker. Amazingly versatile pen.

That would be reasonable. The people running these things aren’t reasonable. They ignore every established mechanism to communicate a lack of consent to their activity because they don’t respect others’ agency and want everything.

Oh, I’m referring to a claim that someone saw a reflection of a middle-aged man in a buttplug that was is a nicole photo (before it being deleted). I’ve not seen the image myself so, don’t know if it is a substantiated claim.

Nicole? Or the Buttplug Man?

vi in base Ubuntu isn’t really vi. It’s vim-minimal.

Both, last I checked.

Sorry to ping you a bunch with replies. I’m curious now, do you have unique numeral symbols for the numbers after 9?

Oh! That makes my brain hurt a bit less. It’s “subtract half from five”.

This is making my brain hurt. I need to try reading a few more times but, if I am understanding it correctly, the old Danish way of saying it is mathematically incorrect?

Half-to-five == 2.5

2.5*20 == 50

…

Did I read that correctly?

Yeah… That’s what I think the idiot is likely doing. Anyone doing so has no fucking business touching code.

Just read that the fuckstick is copying government data onto an external.

Good point.

No problem! I’ve similar goals, though I tend to be too exhausted in my free time as of late. The 6 series are a bit long in the tooth at this point (there’s 3 or 4 newer generations). They probably won’t give amazing performance, though they’re still used in logic analyzers. Probably great to learn on though.

Top row, second column. That chip is a Xilinx (now AMD) Spartan 6 Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). An FPGA is a type of chip that contains an array of logic gates, flip-flops, and other elements whose interconnects can be “programmed” (I use quotes because it’s more like configuration than software programming). These elements are collectively referred to as the FPGA “fabric” and the naming of the individual elements varies between manufacturers but Xilinx uses “Logic Cells”.

The fabric of this particular chip has 74,637 Logic Cells (there’s more element types but I’m not going into those because I’m still learning any them).

What makes FPGAs so special? Basically, they contain all of the parts needed to make a CPU (or other digital circuit). An FPGA may not be able to implement a general purpose CPU that is as fast or powerful as custom silicon but, it can do it. A CPU implemented on an FPGA is known as a “soft core”.

What is RV32? Simply, a 32-bit RISC-V processor. There are some open-source RV32 implementations that will both fit in the pictured FPGA and are capable of booting mainline Linux.

That Spartan 6 FPGA can probably boot on a softcore with mainline Linux support. It has enough fabric space (74k logic cells) to implement some smaller RV32 designs.

You can indeed buy better hardware for many purposes for cheaper.

Want a gaming laptop? Or a runs Linux out of the box laptop? FW is not even close to the best value there.

Want a laptop with well-documented physical specs, including CAD drawings to make readily modifiable and upgradeable, potentially being the last laptop chassis that one needs to buy? Nothing else comes close to touching FW.

I avoid ads, so, maybe they’re inappropriately marketing as gaming laptops. I’d not call that a scam but would say that it’s ethically questionable, at best. FW is a laptop for people prioritizing long-term repairability and tinkering over everything else.

…FW16 is a great Linux machine. It also had CAD drawings available that have been allowing me to sketch out possible physical modifications. It also has a PCIe 4.0 x4 available for either the GPU they sell or any other device that I decide to make.

What specifically about Framework do you think is a scam? I’d genuinely like to know since that’s been the opposite of my experience.
