Over the last 6 months I've read and had to make decisions on somewhere north of 500 cvs. (I am a software developer, but I'm also doing hiring right now) Linkedin means you exist[1]. It adds some (ie more than zero) legitimacy to

You're missing the point. The goal of cooking meals is to have a meal at the end. Because people need to eat. The food is the solution to the problem you have. People don't consume software, slurping up lines of code like ramen. H

That is great for you. For a lot of people it's becoming a requirement of their jobs, and quitting in a global pandemic over an app seems like a non-optimal response.

You can of course just run folding@home on your CPU as well, no nvidia requirement... required.

Real time ray tracing hardware is in a funny place right now. Firstly, it's not really as impressive as it sounds. You aren't going to be playing a game where you explore a house of mirrors any time soon. Control is a really good

There is nothing on this page I was not aware of and intentionally linked (e.g. Strava). So does this mean I am successfully stopping them from tracking websites I visit via tracking pixels / IP mapping / whatever other nefarious

I am not OP but I'm a FF user. I haven't got around to learning FF's dev tools and still need Chrome(ium) to test that platform for compat anyway. So I just still use Chrome dev tools (which also work for NodeJS instances) bu

As was mentioned cpupower frequency-set will sort you out, though you have to do it for every single core/thread combo. The other option if it's an occasional thing is you can change it in your BIOS and lock them (I believe) to a

At least for Premiere it's not as useful as you'd think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StJssAQZlZc&t=38s (at least for now, I don't work in that industry but it may just be a code quality issue)

You're right I wasn't, because I presumed those chips were clocked too low to be useful outside of server farms. I am not the audience for a Mac Pro though, maybe it's fine?

If by "conspiracy" you mean "business deals where Intel uses their financial clout to compel companies to not provide AMD options", then yes, that is definitely provably happening. I can't use google fu to find it n

It's definitely not for gamers, even silly "I have to have the best thing" gamers. Games are considered "lightly threaded" in these sorts of conversations, so you're looking for max boost clock / IPC. Howe

Unfortuntately Threadripper only ("only"..) supports 256GB of RAM, Mac Pros can go up to 1.5TB. So they definitely couldn't switch completely, and supporting both would be expensive for apple due to doubling mobos + testing +

I've used Windows on and off since 3.11, and have used 98, xp, 7 and 10 a lot. As much fun as it is to hate on Windows, if I'm honest with myself 10 has been the most stable experience I've had with Windows, with the possible
