I think we probably agree on the core issue, I just kept things a bit too brief. There are people who feel like I described, and there are people who disagree to varying degrees (physicists, amitrite?). But I do think we all kind-of agree t

The issue for particle physics specifically, is that they _hope_ to find something that breaks the theory. But so far, only find confirmations of the current Standard Model. Succesful experiments, yeah, but doing little for pushing our unde

You can just fine. The nay-sayers are, frankly, just repeating old-wives tales for the most part. I've been running my own mail server from a VPS (vpsdime) for somewhere around 6-7 years now and the only issues I've had were relat

Unless they changed it, small scale bots (10 servers or less, large bots need approval) can see every message event in every channel they have access to using the websocket API. They can also query older messages. It's pretty straightf

I use Discord a lot and I agree that it's bad to use it for anything that you can't afford to suddenly lose (though people still use Google and Paypal too). I do think a modern chat app is a value-add for fast moving (tech) compan

As someone who was a prolific user of both I'm going to come to the defense of Discord here. First let me say that yes there is some valid critism to be had. Mostly around information preservation, lack of indexing by search engines, b

It is possible to maintain the benefits of competition without the level of duplication and profit motives that we struggle with today. Large scale collaborative scientific endavours like CERN show us that it is possible to both publically

I took a brief look at it and saw nothing to suggest that 'web3' added anything of real value. If you believe there is, then I'd love to hear what it adds that's 1. unique and 2. actually desirable.

that's just a thread of paid picrews. What is the value-add that Web3 offers here? That your avatar comes with a digital slip of paper you can use for speculation? In terms of ownership, so far, I haven't seen any NFT space that a

For rust it's sometimes useful to split it like that, because it makes it easy to publish small subsets of your project on cargo. Say you develop a custom datastructure, or an extension on Streams. The same applies to other languages t

There is a rather simple way of stopping the ever growing tuition bubble, one that is employed in the Netherland, but I feel like it won't be popular in the US: Cap the tuition a college is allowed to charge and restrict them from char

Unfortunately, it's the multi-tenant applications that tend to gain the most from hyperthreading. For HPC it's usually turned off, and I think for gaming and workstations it also has little if any use.

True enough, but I personally hit bandwidth limits on occasion for my most heavy processing jobs (data analysis, wouldn't be surprised if the same applied to people doing media editing or working with databases). Threadripper or cheap

Disappointing that it's still only 2 memory channels. Would have loved for quad channel to become the norm.

And probably (because of that) a very robust codebase-base. Adding a JIT to a 'textual query'->'results' pipeline is a lot easier if you took the effort to silo off each individual step than it is when you consider &#

Any (well written) data analysis code could benefit from the increased core count and high number of memory channels. Any kind of process that's batchable too.

Why do you say low-memory? I got the opposite feeling. I've been drooling over EPYC and TR2 ever since they released the specs for my memory bandwidth limited projects.
