On: The new microcode from Intel and AMD adds three new features

[qubex]

I read somewhere (didn't verify, wasn't obviously substantiated) that the OpenBSD folks were beside themselves with anger, and that in turn others shot back that they had demonstrated a very poor track record with respecting embargoes in the past and had let slip “seven of the last five” major vulnerabilities they had been pre-warned of.

EDIT: For reference, consider some of the comments in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16110750&ref=hvper.com

Seven of the last five? Sounds like they have some out-of-order execution issues of their own.

[qubex → kgwxd]

It’s a common British idiom, to opine against eternal doomsayers. :)

[knight17 → qubex]

First time seeing this usage, can you tell me what is this called exactly, in grammatical terms? Tried to Google and can't seem to reach anywhere.
