The perfect date is YYYY/MM/DD. US and every where else conflict with DD/MM/YYYY & MM/DD/YYYY.

Liquid Nitrogen testing is the auto rag racing of computers. Not practical for everyday use, but is can be interesting/fun to do/watch.

Why? There a limits on health care privacy privilege. Also with regards to with attorneys as well.

I don’t like it either. Don’t need an 18cm big button.

I started to learn C++ once, had semester and couldn’t wrap my head around the object oriented part. At some point I looked at learning objective C on my own, though I didn’t really use it. I had a 1000x better understanding after an hour.

My fingers don’t speak it is the problem.

Worst is when installing a new distro(usually in a vm ) and it defaults to nano and for some weird reason no vi of any sort is installed. I hated nano. Last time I intentionally used something like nano was the 90s with pine I think.

Someone I know was hospitalized and their parent seemed more concerned about how it inconvenienced them than the person in the hospital.

I suppose that is true. Intel seems to think so as well as their low power n100 is about the performance of a 1500x.

Sure, not much per gen, but if you compare say a 1700x vs the current 9700x, you are roughly looking at a 3x improvement in single and multicore performance increase.

It should probably work fine. TB3 is backwards compatible with TB2. Just uses a different connector.

My community college(1997) had a Suse linux computer lab that I learned on. It was mostly used as a networking/server and programming platform.

Loki was the leading porting developer at the time.

Until risc-v is at least as performant as top of the line 2 year old hardware it isn’t going to be of interest to most end users. Right now it is mostly hobbyist hardware.

I also think a lot of trust if being put into it that is going to be misplaced. Just because the ISA is open doesn’t mean anything about the developed hardware.

It isn’t as simple as just compiling. Large programs like games then need to be tested to make sure the code doesn’t have bugs on ARM. Developers often use assembly to optimize performance, so those portions would need to be rewritten as well. And Apple has been the only large install of performant ARM consumer hardware on anything laptop or desktop windows. So, there hasn’t been a strong install base to even encourage many developers to port their stuff to windows on ARM.

On my system with raid0 dual pcie4.0 nvme drives, most of the time is spent decompressing and processing the data. There is always going to be a bottleneck somewhere, whether it is the drive, cpu, gpu etc.

I feel like this is a very philosophical question. Like Toph bended metal, but metal is but one component of earth. Water and oil don’t mix unless under certain circumstances and oil isn’t recognized as being a part of water.

That only works for water based paints. What would you do when the customer want oil based paint to be used?

Neither does the blob it downloaded. Would you think twice about AVX10 support if it was commented as AVX10 support in a compression library? Some might, but would they be the ones reviewing the code? A lot of programs that can take advantage of “handwritten” optimizations, like video decoders/encoders and compression, have assembly pathways so it will take advantage of the hardware when it is available but run when it isn’t. If the reviewers are not familiar with assembly enough something could be snuck in.

systemD is using dlopens for libraries now and I am not convinced malware couldn’t modify the core executable memory and stay resident even after the dl is unloaded. Difficult, yes, but not impossible.

Seriously. If you are going to do it, write in assembly or something else no one understands.

Sure it aged well. WAY WAY BIGGER than gnu.
