RISC-V

• royalty free
• future-proof
• extensible
• base ISA is 40 instructions!
• beautifully documented
• can perform in a range of situations, from embedded to many-cores servers!
• can handle petabytes of memory (the higher schemes)
• no nonsense historic compatibility drag.

Basically: if you don’t have choice, you don’t have freedom.

However, I see the value of reinterpreting your only option and get to love it not because you choose it, but because you can appreciate its (perhaps few) good things.

my two cents

Aaaaaa, that is what “crabs” mean!

I am not familiar with the required slang. Could somebody ELI5 me?

hahahahahahahaha… this is so stupid!

Nice, but I quite didn’t understand the utility of this video

What is “manosphere”?

Yeah the big question is what’s gonna happen to the project after Linus…

you got it pretty much right. An ABI, depending on the context, could include just the app/OS interface or also the across-apps, across-apps-modules interface too. Things like calling convention, register usage, stack usage, etc.

when you distribute compiled libraries, you want clients to know how to invoke your functions and know how to retrieve your returned values. That’s part of the ABI too.

The ABI also defines the type translation from the language (say, C) to asm undertood by a processor (say riscv64g) so, you map types. Following that example, you may instruct the assembler and linker to use abi “lp64” that maps longs and pointers to 64 bits, and integers (int) to 32 bits. This abi also emulates floating point operations (n the other hand, lp64d would make use of dedicated hardware for “double precision” floats)

I love how the plot is pretty much normalized to pigeons

I… I don’t know what course of action to take after staring at this arrange of pixels…

Emacs for the homies

Use potato to get root access

That will give you root access

You, my friend… you become the cure to cancer. Keep it up, hero.

Oh, thanks… I meant to say that a common ABI sounds like the first stage of embrace, extend and extinguish

I, actually, teach OSs at a university 😁

I truly appreciate, tough, your kindness on teaching to a lemmy fellow 🙏🏼

That’s all I needed to hear :D

Humans were never meant to take care of babies as couples or alone.

Research suggests that given the tradeoffs of our evolutionary path, we had to shift towards a collective parenting (call it tribe, clan, extended family, etc.)

The modern “individualization” of the person is what has convinced us that such parenting form is “normal” and bearable, and that if you feel overwhelmed, there is something wrong with you.

“common abi”? Like embracing?

iirc, WD literally stands for “water displacement”. 40 is because it was the 40th formula

WD-40

that IS its reason of existance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40

(full disclosure: I have never tried it. I don’t recommend trying it, just keep scrolling.)
