These cars must have a little pop-out joystick to maneuver it around in a garage or during repair?

There should be a standardized control that pops out of the dash using a fixed icon, so that anyone can enable an override.

Nuts.

How awesome would it have been to be a high performing student, writing programs that a lower performing student would have to execute manually on your simulated computer system. So much good stuff here. Do you want to layout the nand gate or BE the nand gate? Or be the one that decides which problems the nand gate solves?

There are lots of other FPGAs that are still available for RISC-V to target that are precluded from this announcement.

ARM used to sue anyone trying to make an ARM clone and now this. Great news for RISC-V. At least one if not two low end FPGA manufacturers will be shipping a fabric with hard blocks supporting RISC-V.

I think it is a great short and long term move. The new smaller processes aren't getting us to faster clock rates, they are making things cheaper. GF can get to the same point by optimizing their current processes.

If your macro isn't changing execution semantics, it probably doesn't need to be a macro.

This is why (if needs to be a special form if your language is eager, but you want to have short circuit conditionals. If you language is lazy, lots of things DON'T need to be macros.

I work on a system that strives for 100% efficiency, I think it makes the it extremely fragile. Loss is also tolerance for upset. It might be cheaper to produce more and not implement this system at all. Innovation comes from increase the size of the solution universe over micro optimizations.

Drones can shoot down, drones can shoot up, drones can operate in free fall as easily as powered, they can operate in perigee and apogee, butter side up and butter side down.

Look at the ways the OP is (charitably) correct, picking holes doesn't make it impossible.

The truth is between both of your posts. I 'toshed, I would still recommend it, but only for the kind of folks that would sign up for a one way ticket to Mars. They will absolutely love it.
