The sentence goes:




A good judge, like a good umpire, cannot act as a partisan... If you are playing the Yankees, you don’t want the umpires to show up wearing pinstripes.




I cannot understand the part after the ellipsis. "Show up wearing pinstripes" seems to be a proverb or slang. Could anyone help explain?

    There is nothing in the language used in this quotation that needs an explanation; what the question calls for is an explanation of certain facts about baseball.

In American Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees traditionally wear pinstripes on their uniforms.



https://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/04/yankees-pinstripes-origin-babe-ruth 1



Thus, for the umpires, who are supposed to be impartial judges, to "show up wearing pinstripes," would suggest they were, in fact, favoring the Yankees.

    It's an illustration of the rule expressed in the preceding sentence. If you want to be (or appear) impartial, do not wear the uniform of one of the teams.




    The [Yankees] home uniform is white with distinctive pinstripes and a
    navy interlocking "NY" at the chest.

                      How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

                      Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
