It should not have been noticeably slow no matter what you did. It'd run out of memory with enough tabs of course. The fastest way to get more memory is an ad blocker.

Hmm, why would you need to optimize a benchmark for something? Generally it's the other way round.

Apple Silicon Macs don't support eGPUs. (At the moment anyway.)

The paper mentions that some of it is because of when maintenance is scheduled and when operators are onsite to keep it working. But IIRC they're just incredibly sensitive to motion and any motion (like a truck driving past) affects th

If they were testing that it'd work more often. Other things you can ask that they're still clearly not optimizing for are ASCII art and directions between different locations. Complete fabrications 100% of the time.

One of those involves fulltime professionals backed by state violence and the other is when people on social media are mad at you.

Ironically, Bradbury likes to tell people that Fahrenheit 451 isn't about the thing it was obviously supposed to be about (censorship) because he now wants it to have been a metaphor for cancel culture.

The moral of this story is that if you install a really good TV the animals will come out of it and eat you? Is the author a dog?

You should be able to see it. REX prefixes cost a lot less than register spills do. If you mean literally `gcc -S`, -O0 is worse than not optimized and basically keeps everything in memory to make it easier to debug. -Os is the one with rea

A camera is a product with multiple components. Mirrorless camera designs can have smaller and higher quality lenses for the same price because they don't need to accommodate the SLR mirror behind the lens. I don't think image qu

I know what a rangefinder and mirrorless are. I daresay you are correcting a lot of things I didn't actually say.

by astrange 1y ago
People think all professional cameras are called "SLRs". A rangefinder is a higher quality camera than an SLR ever was and a full frame mirrorless probably has better quality than a DSLR, in both cases because it's easier to

Much of that was due to foreign aid and lend-lease from the US. Of course, we also destroyed Russia and made it an oligarchy by giving them bad advice ("shock therapy") after it collapsed. Like basically everything else (including

That's the wrong question. The competition is a family with one earner vs the counterfactual /same/ family with two earners. The second one will have more money in the modern context so they're better off. At some times
