I think Berlin's approach is better for colder climates. It just makes sure the water lands in soil and stays there. Each new construction site must do the same. So the roofs are green with soil and the road's water goes into the

I think we are headed into the world of multi-cpu world. I see the ARM being helped by a CUDA power efficient co-processor with I/O similar to Power9. The issue is our tools as developers wouldn't be able to take advantage of this

It was ridiculous but I was still surprised how strong the A11 is getting. Apple's A11 (single thread) 4217 (multi) 10164 https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks Intel i7 8700k (single thread) 6089 (multi) 26654

I am a Prime Member and I couldn't watch Prime Videos on Android for YEARS. I could on my work iPad :( Amazon is certainly the bad player here but I don't know if going to war is going to do anything but piss everyone off.

ARM is the future. Example Apple's A11. For single thread ((which is what's most important on 90% of today's use cases) side note can this stop being true by 2020?) can compete with single threaded processes. Apple's A11

I would love to see a rendering benchmark. This is only single thread comparison and multi-thread isn't close.

The i5 and i7 of Surface Pros absolutely melt A11's performance. The A11 would have run laps for battery life though.

Why do we rationalize with Children and punish teenagers? We must build trust with our children. Research has shown that this is the key, especially for children of abuse. To me (Father of Five, two biological and three foster) this is 100

You can run whatever distro you want, and the hardware issues should minimal at most? The nice thing is that the hardware is supported by the kernel and you won't run into a hardware issue like we use to all the time 10 years ago.

We are all still living on 30 year old package management systems and we need a modern approach. I still have hope for flatpak. I want a system where the folder is the application and deleting the folder is the way you remove applications.

Perhaps I am reading more into this but I think the idea is it will not be an Intel CPU but Power9 which is IBM's architecture with an open license and with a foundation supporting it. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016
