Ron Minnich, ML discussion, March 14, 2014:
In other words, you can design a special case that makes doing a good design of the general case almost impossible. That's been done too; see UEFI.
mue, IRC discussion, January 2014:
If PHP had a garbage collector, would it have to collect itself?
Damien, IRC discussion regarding porting a sandybridge board, December 2013:
I got some help from kmalkki and he said my best bet is to disassemble the mrc blob. Fuck that. I know what's in it. It's shit.
