Basically you're saying "Let's scrap a well-known, well-understood taxonomy, and substitute four arbitrary (and incomplete) subject matter bullets."

@AnonCoward AMD publishes the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual which is what you're looking for. It documents all potentially available instructions. For microarchitecture-level information, look for the family 17h (Zen/Zen+/Zen 2) documentation. As Eypic 7702 uses the Zen 2 architecture, it supports math extensions up to AVX2.

@RobertHarvey I agree. I think that 7 is a reasonable number, though.

@CynicallyNaive Software Engineering is more about conceptual questions. But your core question “What, if any, could be the unintended consequences arising from this design?” strikes me as too broad/unclear. If you were interested in lower-level feedback about your code then the Code Review site could be appropriate, but your question is clearly design-level. Tricky.

Note that in this instance, the edit by a community member (Doc) helped to get the question reopened. That flexibility and nuance is missing in Reddit moderation.

@AndréMarcondesTeixeira I don't think the edits change anything material, but I don't understand why the question was closed/deleted in the first place. Someone else asked about this on Meta Software Engineering, which will typically receive a response from the involved moderator.

Our “4 years later – can we change our name?” Meta.P.SE post has a score of 230, which is 86% of the negative score on the “A new code license” Meta.SE (the all-time lowest voted non-deleted question on Meta.SE). That is, like, a lot.

The Whiteboard: Reasonable code

posted on April 08, 2016

There are many things we talk about when assessing code and trying to construct an analysis of its quality metrics. We talk about modularity in systems at the large and small levels, we talk about coupling, we talk about performance metrics, we talk about “Best Practices.” We talk about style, statefulness, paradigm, elegance, smells, and so many different things. However, we rarely talk abou…

@BarryTheHatchet for a year (?) you have repeatedly and consistently trolled this chat room with actionless complaints about how hard this site is to understand and how people here collectively are trying to close everything, etc. that you are reacting to another user suggesting that is the case with "are you trying to get your messages flagged?" is incredibly ironic to me

@DeliriousSyntax I think not getting the degree is a bad idea. It closes so many doors. Sure, there are companies that hire people without a degree. But just having one gets you through so many initial screens.

There was a time I leaned in the direction of being a pattern junkie. Then somebody on the internet commented that the most flexible, all-encompassing solution to creating useful programs is...a programming language. Then I was enlightened.

It's exactly the same thing I fight in coding. There are those that only think structurally and never semantically. They want rules to follow religiously to keep them safe from their own mistakes so they don't have to actually understand anything.

@Ixrec Said another way, the reason why the "cabal has won" is because they're the only ones putting in time actively moderating the site.

But I lay a lot of that resulting blame at the feet of SE. It's unfair to folk to start a site on a given theme and then radically change the theme. People will be understandably upset

Well as I see it, it is unquestionable that there is a big gap between what this site is for and what most people coming to the site homepage think it is for. I would like to see someone from SE that can actually do something about small feature changes speak to use about what can be done.
