I somehow expected more density for a custom arrangement like this. One eviscerated mini per sled, ten sleds per rackmount chassis, six chassis per rack: sixty minis in 42-48U. Sonnet's RackMac mini[1] puts two unmolested minis in a s

Depending on what you want to do on what O/S, batteries may or may not be included. I use Moonlight on a Mac to control a Windows 10 PC running Sunshine--lower latency than Remote Desktop (which I don't have anyway in the Home ed

I've been playing with Thunderbolt networking over the past week with mixed results. I can get 16Gbps between a couple of Macs. Between a Mac and a PC running Windows 10 I get similar speeds in one direction, but less than 1Gbps in t

Although this post doesn't establish the premise sufficiently to comment on the data or its schema, I would venture that much of the time what you want is a GROUP BY query on columns of the table, rather than a column of pointers. What

I believe that "^" in this context signifies Caps Lock as its own modifier, distinct from Control. If you've already remapped Caps Lock to Control (or Esc if that's your thing), this scheme won't work without some

There's nothing scary about being downvoted on HN, but if karma is your goal, I wouldn't start by labeling a simple (and frankly 100% expected) fork a holy war. I'm not sure I understand your concerns in the previous comment.

I mainly use it for text expansion, which I find easier to remember and type than multi-key shortcuts. That part of my brain is already full of Emacs key bindings. I switched from TextExpander to Keyboard Maestro years ago. I have web-spe

I use a mostly vanilla Emacs on macOS from emacsforosx.com, and I am definitely a laggard when it comes to adopting some of these modern features. I'd love to use eglot to make Emacs as smart as VS Code, but it takes some doing, so I&

Yes, although Wirecutter is frequently one of the inputs into my buying decision, I find the one-size-fits-all approach annoying at times--this is the best power strip, because we believe everyone needs at least eight outlets, and twelve is

I don't think that's a safe presumption at all. Getty, e.g., claims to have found their watermark in the output of Stable Diffusion. More broadly, it's not a settled question of what license you need. The article presents a

Last I checked, there aren't any Xeons with E-cores. However, you're right: the most direct competitor to Bergamo seems to be Sierra Forest, a chip that will have nothing but E-cores (and no AVX-512).

There was a distinct change to the font rendering sometime around macOS 10.14 (Mojave). I use the same 1440p monitor for computers running 10.13 (High Sierra), 11 (Big Sur), and Windows 10. I far and away prefer High Sierra to the others,

This is perhaps the most interesting aspect of the project--using a code generator to escape the gravitational pull of CUDA. I wonder how well it would generalize to other targets.

I don't see any indication that Codon makes any claim to generated code. It's just that the license prohibits production/commercial use of the compiler--not much different than other proprietary compilers like, say, Visual S
