Switzerland (the geneve/lausanne area) has a lot of overhead wiring too. I must say, you never appreciate underground wiring until you no longer have it and a storm picks up. I would consistently lose power whenever there was a big sto

Price-wise they seem quite competitive on paper. I'm curious as to what the build quality & peripherals are like. In my experience the real difference between a regular and top-of-the-line laptop is in the small things. They'r

28 cores @ 2.5 GHz = 70 GHz Cores, 14 cores @ 3.1 GHz = 43.4 GHz cores. So the total performance (to first order) is almost twice as good for the 28 core part. Sure you need to use all cores for that comparison to hold, but usually softwar

They could compromise by adding a few more lines of code and having '+' resolve to ' ' if and only if the file can't be found with '+', or vice versa. Immidiatly mark this behaviour as deprecated and switc

Ah yes fair point, my personal bias is showing a bit. I would consider numerics (AVX512 or AVX2) to be the main interest, and it is often what the type of workstations I'm familiar with need. It also tends to consume the most power whe

And these are high end 'prosumer' parts. Running the CPU at peak 80-100% load for a significant amount of time should be considered the intended application.

I'm not sure what parts are clang and what parts are LLVM, but I recently did some tests comparing g++ to clang++ for auto-vectorization and they were very on par. I'd even say clang was a little better than g++ with full optimiza

This is not yet something to fear at all. If Amazon is even available in your part of Europe it tends to not be that great. There are plenty of online stores in Europe though.

I doubt that is the case. As the article nores photon-photon scattering has been a predicted for a long time by QED. Even if it wasn't detected before it's impact on redshift could be calculated. If you look at the abstract on the

The call itself is not very expensive, but the effect of having to jump through vtables can prevent other optimizations in a way similar to calling a function in a DLL. Not a huge issue for business logic bits or if your virtual functions a

I believe, (don't quote me), that the intel MPI can be replaced by any other compliant MPI library. MPI tends to be used for distributed computing not single processor computing so most likely it won't affect your personal machine

Noteworthy difference being that, I believe, Riot employees are identified as such and their communication is public (in the eyes of Riot) not private. In this case I think it might very well be a case of "The Aristocrats" humor l

Does anyone know how Agner actually produces all this information? It can't be easy to determine all these parameters.

Haha, well this is awkward.. It was a while ago, if I recall correctly the block seemed to be ip based (it reported my ip not domain-name). I host with vpsdime, while it is a vps and thus to be expected I don't seem to be on any other

I run my own email, on a vps no less, and the only blocklist that has given me trouble is Symantec's (and a bit of Googling at the time showed it had a high false-positive rate). Google, Hotmail, etc, all work just fine. Just make sure

I will say that as someone who was not a real expert at anything when Rust came out, but familiar with a lot, I find that learning c++ these days has the same problems, and so does learning a functional language. They're all unique in

I fear this will be used more as a form of abuse than as a proper feedback, looking at youtube. The link also seems to be designed to be skipped over. You could have told me it has been there for a year and I would have believed it. Even wi

From June onward there will be a new EU legislation which would make it so that you can use thee whole 100GB in the EU (under small roaming restrictions).

that's a horrible pattern. As soon as you go 1 bit over your cache size in a hot loop you'll have a 100% miss rate. (assuming each element is loaded once in the hot loop).

Hey, something I can comment on properly for once ;). Handed in my final Quantum-field-theory homework yesterday (or blood-sweat-and-theory as I called it, great fun) and finishing a MSc. in Computational science 'soon'. From what

Still no concepts unfortunately (or reflection). Bit disappointed really, I'm far from a guru but to me this seems like another 'tick' upgrade where c++11 was a big 'tock', c++14 was mostly polish to c++11.

Wars are fought not only by the aggressors. And the aggressor can be acting to prevent amoral behavior (attacking a state which is engaging in slavery/genocide of its people, but one might argue that is an act of war in the moral sense

With how big these chips are getting, I wonder if the next iteration will have an HBM last-level cache on chip.

Well, overeating is maybe simplified too much but it can be reduced mostly to "wrong eating". Perhaps not overeating in absolute volume but overeating of effetcive calories. There might be metabolic difference between people leadi

For the Alice experiment most jobs are IO limited. Although throughput should be improved by run 3 via backend changes (I hope so at least, currently doing my MSc. thesis on exactly that...). Simulations are compute heavy, but analysis task

Yeah, this will affect any language that stores structs as POD (plain old data) as long as it has somewhat sensible alignment rules and allocation (i.e. doesn't hide every struct behind a pointer, doesn't align char's to 8 by
