That graph seems to confirm Moore's law is still holding.

And since slashdot layout placed my comment a bit ambigous, I will clarify that it was in reply to https://slashdot.org/comments....

I really wish I had some points to mod you up right now. This is something more people need to understand

There are quite a lot of USB C to USB A adapters available according to Google. Both from Apple and other places.

Umm, no. *(ptr + 20) is different from those above. That would translate to *(char**) (((void*) ptr) + sizeof(char*) * 20). Whilst ptr[0][20] and (*ptr)[20] translate to *(char*) (((void*) (*ptr)) + sizeof(char) * 20).
And (ptr + 20) is even worse since it's completely missing dereferences.

Your printf example is correct though, but not relevant to the current case.

Actually, it declares that ptr is a pointer to an array. So to get at the data you would actually have to do (*ptr)[20] or ptr[0][20]. Provided you have assigned something meaningful to the pointer first. The only memory reserved by the declaration is enough to hold a pointer.

Well, CO2 isn't really that toxic. You'll die if you breath in pure CO2 anyway though. But that's because you'll suffocate since it is heavier than air and therefore remain in your lungs and prevents any new oxygen-rich air from entering.

It will also fill up closed spaces like basements and you'll basically drown in it.

We've had this in Sweden for a few years now. It's fantastic :)
(Not at McDonalds though, but a Swedish chain named Max which also happen to server way better burgers imo)

Yes, actually. At least here in Sweden. At the end of the year your employer, your bank etc report your total income for the year, and some other things that affect tax (like loan interest expenses, savings interest income. Also if you have used some tax deductible services (i.e. home renovation) those companies have to report that as well. Then sometime during spring the tax department sends out a preprinted form to you. If everything is correct you can just sign it and send it back. Otherwise you fill in the changes, sign it and send it back. Or, if you don't feel like beeing a luddite you can use the online service to see and sign the form even before it arrives in the mail.
Then you have until august (I think) to pay your taxes. Except your employer already deducted a standard amount of taxes on your salary and payed it for you, so most likely you will get a tax return instead. Which is payed to you in august as well, except if you used the online service. In that case you receive it in june.

So to sum the process up:
1) Log in to online service during spring.
2) Sign prefilled online form.
3) (No step three)
4) PROFIT (aka tax return around midsummer)

What is special is that they are making an open toolchain to program an FPGA and that toolchain is now capable enough to program a working CPU into the FPGA.

If you had read the entire summary you would have seen that the CPU design they were using was the J1 that you mention.

Nevermind, I saw that you realised this yourself :)

Actually, Matlab is produced by Mathworks while Wolfram Alpha is made by Wolfram, the company which makes Mathematica. However, I think Mathematica accepts Matlab syntax in addition to its own symbol based language.

People raised in a country were the government spies on its citizens, encourages selling people out, and kidnaps dissenters are more likely to lie for personal gain.

My guess is this is more an effect caused by Stasi, and not the communism/capitalism divide.
