It's an area of 168,500 sq mi.

A patriot battery can cover 300 sq mi.

Marine drones. Basically remote control exploding speed boats, some with rockets on them. They basically attack like hyaenas bringing down a zebra.

What a weird article. It talks as if abortion is illegal in the UK. It is not illegal.

I think it's talking about at what point in the pregnancy abortion is allowed. I think most would agree that there is a point at which elective abortion should be off the table (e.g. would anybody argue for an abortion to be allowed the day before birth?). So the debate is about when that point is. A fair debate, but articles like this don't help.

I want this so bad. Please please please.

No,no! I mustn't hope. Hope is the bringer of disappointment.

They did it a bit too hard by the looks of it.

If the 8088 had used all but one 256 8-bit values as legal instructions, all your new instructions after that point would need to start with that unused value and then you can add a maximum of 256 instructions by using the next byte. End result is 511 instructions can be encoded in 16-bits.

In other news. A factory fire in Hull, England received nothing more than local news coverage this week. Their product? Hand sanitizer. Turns out that 99% alcohol is really flamible.

I wonder why there's such a huge disparity in news coverage between these two stories. I guess it's because the building was evacuated successfully, right?

So "instruction encoding length".

I don't think that works though. For something like RISC-V, RV64 has a maximum 32-bit instruction encoding. For x86-64 those original 8-bit intructions still exist, and take up a huge part of the encoding space, cutting the number of n-bit instructions to more like 2^(n-7)

Trouble is that people pointing at this as evidence to show that Reform can't be given power fail to realise that it doesn't play as a negative to those that vote for them. Some Reform voters see this and think "they're not afraid to be honest". Trump's comment played positively to a large number, as awful as that is.

Digging up a little bit of misogyny on these people isn't worth the effort.

Yes, because 256 memory locations is a bit limiting.

Even then, at what point do you measure it? DDR interface is likely very much narrower than the interfaces between cache levels. Where does the core end and the memory begin?
