Also as a pip contributor. The only advantage of uv is to have support for parallel async extraction. If pip extracted multiple files/wheels in parallel without being blocked by the GIL, pip could easily match or outcompete uv. I'

That's the one. Funny thing, it's not actually clickbait. The bug made it to the kernel mailing list where some Intel people looked into it and confirmed there is a bug. There is a problem where is the kernel allocation logic was

If you're not aware, Intel has released a lineup of laptops, with some models having the GPU made by them and some having the same GPU made by TSMC. That makes the comparison very direct. TSMC can deliver nearly 3 times the power/

Not competitive at all. It's easily visible on the laptop lines, where the same GPU manufactured on TSMC has 3 times the power/performance ratio compared to the Intel one. Putting more cores is just another desperate move to play

Worthwhile to point out: The Cat5 cable required for gigabit Ethernet is merely twisted pairs with no insulation, which is pretty much a dumb basic cable (with 8 wires). That's why any cable can work in practice. I don't know how

Old houses should have 1 extra socket in the master bedroom at the very least, because the master of the house was expected to plug a phone in there, back in the days. (my parents and grandparents all have one). Incidentally, this is likely

It's a setup seen in a lot of new builds flat from the 2000s and 2010s, which is a very large amount of the housing stock in London for flats (There has been so many constructions!).

Full quote. The problem is the price. > One peculiar thing from the UK: Internet providers don’t truly offer gigabit internet. They have a range of deals like 30 Mbps – 75 Mbps – 150 Mbps – 300 Mbps – 500 Mbps – 900 Mbps, each one costin

If you're wondering about that one from few weeks ago. One person from Intel noticed the article and confirmed the kernel bug, they ran some of the kernel benchmarks on their 24 core CPU and found up to 15% improvements when fixed (mos

Sorry about that. It's a wordpress website on the official wordpress.com hosting, it's actually wordpress that is doing all this tracking out-of-the-box. I will check if there are options to reduce that.
