Hi /g/.
Can anyone explain to me how timers in computers work and/or what the NOOP instruction does?
Let's say a processor is running at 49,161 MIPS, does that mean that if I tell it to do something in 5 minutes or at a specific time it just keeps running 49,000M NOOP instructions and checks whether the next scheduled time has arrived to execute something? Why doesn't it burn up? What does the NOOP do?
Also, how would one implement a scheduler that runs a task at some time (e.g. cron in unix-based OSes or the Task Scheduler in Windows)?
Thanks dudes

Timers are interrupts. NOOPs are "no operation". They are typically used when no work needs to be done or you're waiting for a reg forward from later in the pipeline.

Ok, but then how does the interrupt's timer work? How is that "counting" the time?
>>55631751
There are two ways. In software, most OS have a sys call for timers and sleeping. You just make a sys call and the processor pits that thread to sleep for the specified time.
In hardware, you have a reg that holds "ticks". These increment atomically each clock cycle and is usually tied to processor frequency
Can /g/ explain me .a .lib .so and .o files faster than my lecturer? Let's start!
So you reach /g/ but not Google? Better check your internet connection, brah.

You didn't say how fast your lecturer was, so I assume you're just too retarded to understand him. Do your own studying.

Ionic framework.
>>55631505
Too expensive, I think you should try xamarin.
There are tons of books and tutorials on torrent trackers.
>>55631565
He said he needs to go fast.
Ionic is easy as fuck and very fast to develop with, its shit and expensive as you said.
At what age did you grow out of Linux?
Turning 30 this year, still going strong!
14. Back before I went on /g/, I used Ubuntu for like a year, back when I had a shitty laptop and all I did was play Minecraft and watch YouTube videos and do homework, and then I got bored of it because I couldn't play anything else I had on steam.
>just found out one of my ram sticks wasn't in all the way
>mfw I've gone three years with just 2gb of ram and didn't notice because everything ran just fine
>mfw there are people here with 8gb or more of ram for literally no reason
Free will is an illusion and you are literally memes.
>im retarded
>therefore everyone must live by my retarded standards
>>55630423
I got 8gb ram in 2010, never looked back, still haven't upgraded it either. If I was building new I'd be putting in 16gb at the absolute minimum
this just hit me
I've just reinstalled my os and now chrome won't sync my +100 bookmarks. What do? Tried everything I found googling.
>>55630263
Did you log in to your account that is your standard/main account that you used before?
>>55630263
Maybe you should stop relying on other people to do your job?
>>55630273
Yes.
>>55630280
I tried the whole night but can't get it to sync myself, mate
Is Telemetry unethical?
>>55630105
I don't want spyware on my computer.
sage for bait thread
>>55630105
Not if you agreed to it.
In most cases telemetry just saves data about the program itself, how it performs, what it does, do any problems occur + anonymous info about the host.
It's vital to understand your target demographic if you'd like your things to succeed
>>55630116
I would like to have a mature, open discussion about Windows 10 Telemetry. I just want to have a general discussion about that particular subject.
How do you propose I create a thread about this subject in a way that you wouldn't consider it bait?

Now that Google is officially using everything you ever look at on the internet to build a profile on you, it would be a good time to fuzz your search results:
