How is this different to bind mounts
Given that (afaik) the Apple II logic would have all been jelly bean logic or otherwise off the shelf parts did they really reverse engineer ICs?
With a USB adapter though it's up to the adapter itself to support that which they generally don't do
Now they'll fast-track you to jail for social media posts
Re-architecting and changing your tech stack because you don't like the CEO of <company> is not going to change anything in the middle east
Maybe they want dns resolution to work properly
What causes the need for massive database clusters? Now I'm worried this is going to fall apart on us in a very big way
Of course if you just blindly ask it to write asm it will occasionally invent new instructions or address modes but it's very good at reviewing and making adjustments
Sick cunt, Mad cunt, Good cunt Etc
This isn't really stupid though as explained in the pdf
> Paradise had stuck a read FIFO between display memory and the video output stage of the VGA, allowing the video output to read ahead, so that when the CPU wanted to access display memory, pixels could come from the FIFO while the CPU was serviced immediately. That did indeed help performance--but not as much as Tom’s write FIFO.
VRAM accesses are contended, so during the visual display period the VGA circuitry has priority. CPU accesses result in wait states - a FIFO between the VRAM and the VGA means less contention and more cycles for CPU accesses
Why improve read performance though? Games accessing VRAM I presume would be 99% write. Perhaps it was to improve performance in GUIs like Windows?
