I got a Spectre TV (pretty cheap, they sell it at Walmart). It's a little more expensive than other TVs in the same class, but has no smart features: you plug HDMI into it and it displays it. You hit "Source" and are gree

Back in the day when Xeon Phi was around, I'd run `make -j 256` to run on the ~240 available hyperthreads. Those things were build machine beasts, assuming there weren't too many dependencies. For example. the Linux kernel would b

“So they don’t have to experience insects whatsoever” You don’t live in an area where mosquitoes are a problem, do you? They can get so bad that you simply don’t want to go outside because you’ll have multiple biting you at any given moment

I see it as "power user" meaning "a power user of Windows."

I bought a first-generation Framework a couple of years ago, and it's been perfect for me. I don't especially need a thin/light laptop, but what I care about is that it's snappy and sturdy, has a nice keyboard, and can b

I agree with using a single car for a household: my wife and I have done that for the past six years (living in Tennessee, Oregon, and Arizona) with a 2006 Toyota Highlander that we paid $7,000 in cash for. The last two years, we've h

It's a shame the torrents don't seem to have any seeders; they're very good lectures, and fairly small file sizes.

As with all things, this definitely deserves some context. His daughter later said that she used some rose mist before visiting him, and admitted that she did smell like a toilet (as in, a fragrance often used to clean toilets).

Yeah, this is what I use, and I've not been banned or anything. I have been locked out of my account, though. There was a week during which I got locked out, and had to re-authenticate with 2FA to get into my account, once a day. Howe

No, he's talking about an obvious latency to almost any action, on a multi core multi GB computer.

The vast majority of Christians in the United States believe in salvation by faith alone, not by works.

That's almost exactly what the Xeon Phi was, both in coprocessor form and in machine form. It included MCDRAM, too, which was a high-bandwidth memory. Very efficient, but lacked sales; people didn't want it. Part of that, I think

Very likely, this was not done intentionally. I think we can simply imagine a common scenario: some employee working for Company X, developing a compiler suite, and adding necessary optimizations for Company X's processors. Meanwhile,

This post reads like a preachy Reddit post. Don’t tell me what to do!

That's talking about the grocery stores, though, and the post is about the bookstores and 4-star stores.

Oh, for some reason I read that bit as "the Linux kernel non-consensually personalizes." You're right, though: it's definitely referring to userspace libraries, not the kernel itself. And yes, you can still easily avoid

The author of that blog post sees that states like Tennessee and Texas had a high number of school closures, but that plot is simply plotting raw numbers of school closures. Not only are those numbers affected by a plethora of variables (fo

As with all things, AVX512 involves a tradeoff: core frequency can decrease when it's in use; if properly utilized, it can realize significant performance gains, but if not, can result in a reduction in performance. Don't be so qu

This is hilarious: someone comments about a real problem that requires a practical solution in a programming language, and someone invariably rushes to add their subset of “nice to have” language features.

Why not stay off of social media entirely? If you think that Reddit is even more toxic than Facebook (which I agree with), then why visit the site?

What do you expect them to do, instead? Simply not mention any alternatives? It's absurdly clear from the article that downgrading will leave you vulnerable, so anyone who actually cares is going to read the one (1) paragraph required

Tested this today. - Opening anything larger than a megabyte causes long load times (compared to `vim` and other editors), as well as extreme lag before each cursor movement. - The code, relying extremely heavily on various Rust libraries,

It's worth noting that his tired claim-- that Trump suggested drinking bleach to cure COVID-- is false. He did not say this; at best, the author is willfully ignorant of his actual comments, and at worst, he's purposefully lying.

But all of these performance measurements won't matter if users don't actually own their devices; without being able to run applications without Apple's permission and knowledge, these devices should be ignored by many privac
