CIRCLE WITH A DOT

I agree that IT industry demands we make things that suck, I feel the pain.

However

You say that "Precision, diligence, carefully working through a dull task and making sure that things are going to work in all cases" are feminine skills.
But aren't those same skills needed in engineering disciplines?
Ok, maybe real engneering disciplines don't have this pressure for masculinity. But then shouldn't that lead to more women becoming aerospace, civil, structural, etc. engineers?

also rep movs

I guess STM/LDM makes way more sense when you have no instruction cache, so every extra cycle your instruction spends moving more data would've otherwise been an instruction fetch

@rygorous @zeux @TomF @pervognsen
also, what happened with ARM's STM/LDM? I thought those were it's superpower all the way since ARM2 and Acorn Archimedes

@rygorous @zeux @TomF @pervognsen
> x86 APX

did Intel really reuse that brand after 40 years?

@rygorous
so cursed, I love it!
@pervognsen

@rygorous @pervognsen
So most of x87 instructions have so limited addressing modes, that it needs a second pipe for just for moving data into the place from which other instructions can use it?

That's such a TuringComplete.game thing to do

@jmaris
step 1: we can provide security in the region by buying US weapons and sending them to those who we want to protect

step 2: same but with weapons manufactured in Europe

step 3: we can actively shape the security situation in the region by applying strategic forces

@eloy
that being said, it'd still be nice if universities could pay their graduates to work on new protocols that might not have immediate use

@eloy
I'm under the impression that it was,easier back then because there was less stuff in that area that was already built and that people relied on.
