SuperH a microprocessor developed by hitachi in 90's, has many of their patents expired in 2015 and we are talking of technology used in Sega 32x and Saturn.

There is a clean room implementation, made open source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperH#J_Core


Someone struck gold there.


The previous CEO was so sunk by the credentials he couldn't met.

I don't know if you share my vision, but for me in that moment it felt like the house was on fire, the firetruck was on fire and the fire was on fire.

I don't know if a better job could be made, but at least some public face was saved, and the shareholders bought it until the last day.


You mean like in IA64?


nope, an x86 CPU without legacy extensions. x64 only would permit to not have x87 extensions ;)


Depends, depends.

Sometime certain programs have a particular configuration that you might want, but most of the users won't. In those cases the developer can simply omit those when they build the distribution binaries and then you as a POWER USER make your own changes and configuration. It happened me multiple times (want some experimental features?).

Some time ago I used to rebuild my Linux kernel to fix problems in my distribution, or to gain some edge in performance, but as the development had advanced that edge won't make up for my effort so I don't do it anymore.

I'm a linux user, and most of the time I hate to compile software if I don't have to, so I don't but when I do I'm happy that I can.


Nothing beats my lxpanel over mutter, just because I can.


Alt-F4 to accept the upgrade to windows 10, sounds in my ears.


I wouldn't download a unknown binary, and sign up with my steam account.

Just saying.

But yeah, it's exciting nevertheless.


I have seen his work and he is amazing. I'm almost sure that this is a fair use case and this is just bullying.

Too bad for him, I hope the best.


I was reading and thinking nonsense but yeah I had the same insight.

This one was awesome though.
