“Now, about ondemand and cpufreq. The ondemand algorithm was designed roughly 10 years ago, for CPUs from that era. If you look at what ondemand really ends up doing, is managing the frequency during idle periods, and 10 years ago, that mattered for power. Today (well, last 5 years), the frequency in idle is zero, and even the voltage is now zero (NHM… ”, in a comment on

“+Anthony Harivel The glory of Arduino is the $20 price tag...and the absolute bottom-line of abilities.

“…computer scientist with the military was born in 1967 and got started on a Commodore PET when he was a kid, reading manuals to learn assembly code. Can you write assembly for some CPU architecture? That would be so awesome! I'm just starting to learn hexidecimal by putting random media, document, package, archive and executable files in hex editors and… ”, in a comment on
