Had the same experience overclocking old AMD Phenom II a while ago. Worked flawlessly in all publicly available test software I tried, until I run some custom heavily vectorized code, which eventually required to shave off almost all overcl

Many kinds of stainless steel alloys are totally immune to corrosion under a normal conditions. For example, everything used in the food industry are a such grade. Some of it doesn't rust even at temperatures much higher than 100degC i

There was(?) an awesome app Sas.Planet that worked with lots of map providers [0] and provided much more features, than just a map viewer. For example, I successfully used it to create offline satellite maps of remote areas. The team seems

Erm, actually, all STL implementations I've seen use a simple C-style array under the hood to store `std::array` data, not a much more complex tuple. But it doesn't matter much in the context of the question: the whole point of `s

Hehe, I had such a device long ago. It was ok-ish for making infrequent backups, but too burdensome to use regularly, since you had to bring in the videoplayer (it was a huge device, zoomer! :D), untangle and attach the wires. And then the

yep, and I'm aware of a data encryption product that was hacked by utilizing exactly the same technique. As dumb as it could be: they promised billions of years an attacker need to decipher data, but were using a dead simple LCG to mak

and from that - all the reasons to use it. A properly placed assertion statement is the only thing that stays between you and a misery of weeks-long debugging sessions.

It'd be nice if the author mentioned the real purpose of assertion statements: *it's meant to catch a programmers' errors (your own, or other people working with your code). Not a users' errors.* From that stems all asse

I've also met my wife on OkCupid at the beginning of 2016. It was by far the best dating site ever existed. Basically, of "no alternatives" type... I have a deep respect to everyone who have made it possible. Thank you. It&#x

This is excellent thing and here is why: > the compiler should optimize away bound checks most of the time (and in all critical places) Unfortunately, this is true much rarer than you might think. In order to optimize it away, a compiler

Warming up the whole car (including grease in wheel hub bearings, for example, that becomes much harder in cold) takes a lot of energy, so perhaps it is it. I'd say that a fully warmed car though should be a bit more efficient due to a
