I assumed the author was talking about the x86 emulator released for the arm migration a few years ago, not the powerpc one.

They _should_ collapse if the only way for them to continue is to abandon their mission.

That much revenue from a single source was always a significant vulnerability, a vulnerability that leadership failed to address. Poor leadership and wasteful spending is the problem, not revenue.

However, Microsoft’s mission is profits for shareholders so their calculus ought to be different than Mozilla’s.

If the treasury could credibly say “we will only ever print 2^64 dollars”, that wouldn’t make it inflation free, just a maximum possible denominator.

Treason is the only crime defined in the constitution, and it is quite a high bar.

For high torque density applications, heat dissipation is often the limiting factor on duty cycle.

Also, the slip rings capable of passing high current to an electromagnet rotor are expensive and less robust than permanent magnets.

Essentially: it’s possible but I haven’t seen an application where it’s practical.

That, combined with reading the man pages if it doesn’t work first try has been really effective for me.

Tcc has the `-run` flag for easily doing this with a normal-ish shebang.

With a nasty polyglot preamble of C and bash at the top of your file, you can do it with any compiler.

I’ve only tried the System 76 Lemur Pro and the Framework 13, both of which worked smoothly. The Framework has better build quality, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to try a Linux laptop.

But Nvidia is also selling steroids (inference hardware) that everyone will need to use their new free shovels.

This analogy may have gotten out of hand.
