   The left don't support Hamas. They support Palestine, which is a theoretical government for the people there. Ironically, Israel supports Hamas. Netanyahu supported setting them up as the leadership in Gaza because he could use them as

   It's a distraction to keep everybody in-fighting to make them so focused on inconsequential things that they ignore the glaring wealth inequality.

   I agree. Cutting 100 writing jobs in favor of AI and putting those newly written insubstantial articles behind a paywall is sure to generate $1 billion in revenue. I'm sure that will "futureproof the company" and not just boo

   I'm looking at it now, but it no longer shows Uber as an option for me, only Lyft, and it doesn't show prices. I guess that was short-lived. Last time I used it was a month or so ago.

   I'm not a heavy user, but I noticed that if I start with Google Maps anonymously and hit the ride-share button which gives you a comparison of Uber, Lyft, etc. prices, that when you click through the price is consistently lower than if

   Rust's main problem is that libc is effectively the system API on POSIX. There's a major barrier to interacting with other libraries, particularly safely. There's also a ton of C++ libraries, like Qt, which aren't easy t

   You mean compounding? They are allowed to dilute to create a specific strength or combine constituents, but they can't actually create stuff from scratch on site any more than you or I can. That would be a laboratory. It's not lik

   Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS? You mean those small pharmacies--two of which also contain insurance companies, and the other one still has its own clinics? Pharmacies can only give out what people are prescribed, the only things they can push

    I can't imagine it's a standard thing. On X86 we have ring 0 and 3, with 1 and 2 never used and removed in newer CPUs. ARM has 3 or 4 privilege layers, but they're named differently. They probably just called it ring -2 becau

    Multiplying without having a larger intermediate is much more complex than the article states. You have to use the commutative property of multiplication and split the whole and decimal parts of each number out, otherwise you're stuck

    Earlier reports believed the motherboard was setting the total power limit too high, like 300W. That would have affected multithreaded workloads. The voltage spiking during mispredicted vdroop was actually the cause.

    The branching and the scripting language hit was unexpected. It slows single-threaded programs the most. That means this definitely wasn't caused by an out-of-spec high power limit set on the motherboards. So the common theory was wron

    The source fits the pattern of something generated by LLM and even includes comments that were probably part of the prompt. Doesn't anyone else remember being a beginner? This isn't something I would have made. It has too many ext

    A good 2TB TLC NVMe 4.0 drive went for 100 USD when the prices bottomed out, but Samsung and friends cut the supply. You can get 2TB for cheap now, but those are DRAM-less QLC drives. I suggest paying an extra 30-50 USD to get one with the

    Definitely not. Even a simple multiply is extra hardware on the SNES, and the fast multiply is part of the PPU such that you can't use it while mode 7 is active. That is why Mario Kart and Pilotwings in particular are using the DSP. Yo

    Anecdotally, my local school district decided to do what the GP post says, and they're the last district I would expect to do that. I've never seen $450/unit, though.

    NOMINMAX is checked in windows.h to control whether it adds the macros. It needs to be defined before the inclusion.

    This has long been a problem with win32 and windows.h. Search for "NOMINMAX". They're preprocessor definitions, so you can't even shadow them.

    Yep. I had a Slot A. You literally just plugged the whole HSF/CPU into the motherboard like an expansion card. Modern PC builders would be perplexed.
