Soju is Korea's traditional distilled spirit.

It's clear, neutral spirit usually distilled from grains. The taste is sometimes bitter and sometimes sweet ;)

Most of time koreans drink Soju or beer when drinking socially. And it's also used to measure one's drinking limit (like, "how many bottles of Soju can you drink?")

Whiskey's bit expensive to drink enough (TM) :P
I'd rather drink Soju sir (about $1~$3 per bottle)

@monsieuricon haha I'm new to whiskey; isn't bourbon allowed to be in the same line-up as Scotch whiskey?

Yeaaah, that's not a problem. It's just that when the majority of people in a country are conservative, I need to be a little more cautious to avoid issues in conversations due to different perspectives.

Oh I didn't realize it's a deer before reading this; I was thinking "why the other one is rasing hands like that"

Why do we have two different specifications about firmware interface (UEFI and ACPI)?

Why can't UEFI (Unified EFI) unify everything :/

How do memory controllers "map" device resources (memory or registers) with address spaces assigned via PCI BARs into system memory address space? Is there a FPGA device in it the controller?

This whole question may be wrong as Iack some knowledge about it.

Hmm what's the point of PCIe Root Complex-Integrated Endpoints (RCiEP) rather than Endpoints connected to Root Port

@rostedt Oh, the numbers may indicate a significant performance regression if suspension is involved...

In the ACPI specification; the character representing ACPI root namespace ('\') seems to be escaped (' and \') and looks like this.

How have people been reading this?

@liskin @cwayne @lkundrak whaaaat
am I being too conservative 🤣
asian countries tends to be conservative a little bit (although I am not at all - that's the problem)

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) standard defines the interface between platform firmware and OS (loader). UEFI only standards the interface with the firmware, but its implementation follows the Platform Integration (PI) standard, not UEFI. UEFI completely replaces BIOS used in traditional IBM PC environments.

An OS loader reads information such as ACPI tables, memory maps, etc. through UEFI and passes it to OS, which then takes over control. Most of the services provided by UEFI, including the ACPI Table and Memory Map, are not accessible after OS loader calls the UEFI's Boot Service ExitBootServices().

Intel provides open source reference implementations of firmware that adhere to the UEFI standard called EDK 2. The firmware also implements PCI host bus controllers, bus drivers, and device drivers.

In order to add CXL memory to the memory map during system initialization, the firmware must have CXL support added so that you can set up a CXL host bridge, switch, and device at system initialization before OS has taken the control.
