Still don’t see the return of the pension which I understood to be a key sticking point.

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.

Assembly requires a knowledge of the cpu architecture pipeline and memory storage addressing. Those concepts are generally abstracted away in modern languages

Hmmm, it almost seems like poor leadership shouldn’t have spent 43 billion on stock buybacks over the last 10 years. Or, you know, resolve the strike and get your cash flow moving again.

What a load of BS. Just because it is in a newspaper doesn’t mean it is news. I find the opinion piece uses dubious logic to try and argue its case.

Would you care to elaborate why you say that isn’t a huge pay raise? It seems quite significant to me.

These machines are typically wired to electrical directly. I would expect they are powered using 480 VAC. Google states they typically use about 14kw in standby mode and up to 80 kw for a scan.

Thank you both for a positive example of challenging someone’s post.

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.

I’m guessing CF stands for cluster fuck.

I would suspect they would not work. The damage from Covid appears to be neurological and bone conducting headphones only bypass the mechanical components of the ear.

How about they stop making the franchise a real-time action RPG.
