I actually like this, at least in some way it could lower the barrier for actually explaining what a function does. Though I don't see this working in an office environment

It's an island! Who needs a car on an island? At least on one as small as this one.

I haven't tried any custom roms on my FP4. But I can say I wholeheartedly support their work. Maybe the older ones had issues, but mine has been running smoothly ever since I bought it when it launched.

I've also dropped it like 200 times already, and haven't a single crack. The back cover is cracked though, but that's because I took it off so often to show people :P

All in all, 10/10.

I highly doubt any company will take such an online school seriously for senior positions.

the only way really to move forward with ISA extensions.

Though, I think for this update we don't need to be too concerned. Since it changes the code in such an extensive way, compiler writers will be strongly incentivised to produce this duplicate path themselves. Instead of letting the burden of dispatching fall on the programmer like with AVX and friends

Well, yeah probably some websites will require it, probably google's own will, and people will have to run two browsers for the sites that do, and the sites that don't.

And yeah they can force sites to switch, by downranking them otherwise, like they did with AMP. But I think that'll only really alienate people.

I would argue it doesn't even make anyone's life better, except google and advertiders'
