That's basically what I understand the idea of "race to halt" to be. Mobile CPUs are already designed to finish their current task as quickly as possible so they can idle to cool off (that's how laptop chips can support

TFA says he was neither thin nor had a known preexisting condition. My guess is it's just one of the freak things that happen sometimes. This was a very small amount of caffeine compared to what my average coworker drinks.

It mattered more with spinning disks, you could basically pipeline disk reads with optimization passes.

It's definitely a strange set of graphs: Mixed (log/linear) scales on the axes Only two columns of points on each graph matter (the last two) because the left hand side is all zeros (an artifact of the y axis not being log scale)

I think the curves are linear because the x-axis is log scale but the y-axis is not.

They're saying the testing medium itself made the test appear less scientific/accurate (to them) than it actually is. Perhaps if it had been a hair sample it would have appeared more scientific (again, to them).

You mean p-states in your first sentence, right? Anything but c0 represents different levels of 'retiring no instructions' (totally idle). The rest of your comment seems accurate though.

That's not an excuse. They're short ads, not paywalls.

Actually I miss read the link. The parenthetical is inaccurate, but the rest is exactly what the article alleges.

More akin to Craigslist deleting a bunch of stolen bike posts right before snapshotting the DB, during an investigation of illegal sales on Craigslist. ~~~(And only deleting them in the city where the investigation is happening)~~~

I want the AMP page because the original page is usually an awful user experience. If websites served up fast webpages I wouldn't want AMP. But in my experience browsing news on AMP pages has been faster and better in nearly every resp

Things can be semantically equivalent but more elegant, easier to read, and harder to make mistakes. I think most function programmers are actually very familiar with the patters found in Java. It's often one of the reasons they fell i

Yeah, the Null Object Pattern is just optionals except you have to re-implement it each you need optional semantics.

They just started embedding adds into messenger too (thankfully not in the US, yet)

Yeah, but if you piss me off enough times I'm exempting all of my hard drives. It hasn't caught a single virus since 2009. I've not found it that hard to stay safe online.

Defender has the nasty habit of aggressively scanning new games I download off Steam. There are two occasions where it'll do it: - While it's downloading it seems to scan each chunk. I have a gigabit connection, with defender off

I've never had an issue with it. Actually I try to click on AMP links when I'm searching for news because I know I'll get an experience that doesn't suck.

I run a pfsense router for fun at my house and it has a really nice UI/wizard for OpenVPN. Even got it hooked up with AD login + certificates without much trouble. Having a GUI can make playing with it really fun and easy. I spent yest

You can't provide that guarantee for any software that can update itself, Ubuntu could turn it back on tomorrow. This link shows you how to remove it now, I'm sure people give up on updating guides like this in the future. Current

YouTube red support seems excellent (the one time I used it). And my father asked support for help with his Google Home routers with a very specific question and support was absolutely phenomenal. No going through lame troubleshooting steps

They pay drivers more than they charge users. It's pretty simple. Over 75% of my Uber rides are heavily subsidized in some way: - pools where no one else is picked up. - 25% off coupon for 10 rides (I almost always have one of these) -

Yeah, and when autovectorization fails it can be really hard to tell why. The diagnostic messages aren't the best (or, at least, they weren't when I was doing this ~4 years ago) EG: ICC has a AVX version of atan2(), which you can

If you're provisioning lots of Windows machines, why not just make these two commands part of that process?
