Drop the web app, make a native one like Signal does if they even bother with desktop. They clearly don't want people to use it anyway, they've been implementing dark patterns to push the phone version of Messenger for years.

They did willingly give the data to the police. Compare Apple v. FBI. "But the iPhone was encrypted" - nothing is stopping Facebook from encrypting Messenger.

Okay, there's a use case I didn't know about. Do you know any SIMD projects that require the lower latency? I'm glad to hear some newer AVX512 implementations are better. I haven't used an Intel one for years, but I have

I would say RDNA/RDNA2 has delivered Ryzen-level improvements. It didn't result in Ryzen-level fanfare because Nvidia improves their GPUs every product cycle instead of sitting still like Intel was doing with processors. I don&#x2

That's a separate, third kind of ton (hurray standards!). The tonne is a metric measurement for 1000kg. American and UK tons are different amounts, but spelled the same way. They're known as short ton and long ton respectively. Am

I may be showing ignorance of some important use case here, but I'd put AVX512 in the "junkware feature" category. It can run AI/HPC code faster than the main processor, but still so much slower than a GPU as to be point

Ah, the i740. Because VRAM is a conspiracy cooked up by 3DFX and Nvidia to take your money, and real gamers don't need any.

I'm with you here. At AMD, Koduri released GPU after GPU that was slow, terribly hot and inefficient, plagued by driver problems, and overpriced. He left on terrible terms for a number of reasons, but one of them was his complaint that

It's unfortunate, but the reality is it would take an act of god to unseat CUDA at this point.

I didn't know that, that's deranged. Like US and UK tons.

The "I don't have my phone" button only showing options that require a phone is a Catch-22 nightmare. They should remove that workflow, which is effectively just mocking the user, and instead emphasize recovery codes much mor

I doubt it's because of steam train residue, but when I was on the Underground it turned all the mucus in my nose black for a day every time I rode it. From searching around, this seems to be a common occurrence for visitors. Air quali

I don't think Korea or Australia have the power to force Apple to build backdoors into their products. Maybe they'd get to use the US one if they asked nicely.

Chrome was better than IE, but it won out not because of technical capabilities but through Google's constant and ruthless exploitation of its web properties and operating systems. That already happens on iOS, and I'm sure a Googl

Conversely, I use Edge for Google sites (and nothing else) because Google goes out of their way to make them unusably slow on Firefox. They look for polyfilled, unimplemented, or bugged features that see low usage, implement them in Chrome,

The ghost patterns in most Pac-Man gameplay are designed on purpose, but the directions they turn when running from Pac-Man once he’s eaten a pellet are intended to be random. From a broadly interesting look at the game’s internals ( https:

There are no non-hierarchal organizations, only ones that are written down and ones that aren’t. Even Reinventing Organizations talks about “fluid, natural hierarchies” - i.e. cliques.

Often, the best satire exists in a state of cognitive dissonance, with absurd characters acting in obviously ridiculous ways that nevertheless feel like the product of the exact same systems that govern our lives, with the obfuscation swept
