A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I hear people wondering, "WTF is LAHF?"

It's a CPU instruction.

I'm assuming that that field internally is just a long string and they parse it and then count the occurrences. So if something, let's say depending on a different API, is getting reported for both of the features, it will be counted double.

So that's a reasonable idea, but those kinds of systems have been around for a long time and I don't recall these ever going above 100.

Same user, more than one computer?

I was wondering that. But I don't believe they track it that way otherwise I would expect all the categories to be this way instead of just the cpu features.
