Not OP but have been in same boat, stage 4 bowel cancer.

My first symptom I noticed was consistent blood on stool, still remember that day I first noticed it.

That was later followed by stomach cramps (obstruction) and night sweats (the stage 4 part).

Remember, cancer does not wait, get it checked if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

I would guess the roundtrip of intercepting every file stat call in the repo, it's very lovely. But will check.

For me it can be slow, especially refreshing magit (which probably is blocked by git, blocked by the bs)(on MacOS)

Even just rebase fixup a commit that is a few commits below HEAD is just a few chords away. Use it many times a week when working.

They should name it Multiple memory data, one single CPU instruction, or mmdosci for short. Easy to remember.

I scheduled my intune upgrade when I needed a week off for doing house moving stuff. I was told Emacs would work, didn't. Took them about a week before I could use it again.

But what is the resulting assembly? I would assume completely different!

Unfortunately some exchanges (twse) uses packed BCD encoding.

Just like 2 threads can execute on the same core at the "same" time, i.e. no synchronization, the same is true for GPU threads/ thread groups.

I think you have the wrong understanding, VAT is applied irrespective of origin, so the same reduction would apply to domestic products.

To simplify,

US product for sale for £100, then VAT would be £20 ( assuming 20% rate)

UK product for sale for £100, then VAT would be £20 ( assuming 20% rate)

I would presume that EU products sold in the US are charged sales tax already(for those states that have it).

The difference between sales tax and tarrifs is it applies to all products within the same category irrespective of its origin.

The reason why arm is not affected is that their "local" memory is non existent and they just spill everything to cache.

Could probably be that the shared memory (at least in the past) also was used for cache, so the same mechanism that probably sanitizer the cache is/was in play here.

This is specific to local/scratch memory which is not exposed for allocation in the same way dram is.
