   I meant the Atom architecture in general, trade names nonwithstanding. Bonnell, Saltwell, Silvermont, Airmont, Goldmont, Goldmont Plus. ThinkPads, on the other hand, in roughly the same time frame have used Merom, Penryn, Arrandale, Sandy B

   The article mentions Thunderbolt 3. Let's not get overexcited: these do not have Thunderbolt 3.

   > I bought a T540 3 years ago that shipped with a Bay Trail processor. You didn't. Bay Trail is an Atom and there has never been a ThinkPad T with an Atom chip. Not to mention that the 40 generation didn't have a T540. It had a

   A lot of books listed here can be used to scare anyone away from maths. Too dry for starters. I would say you must start with Rozsa Peter's Playing with Infinity http://a.co/6MMCE5g to quote an Amazon review > Th

   If it's mission critical then -- in Europe -- it gets the time from DCF77. It uses an atomic clock to emit a time signal (actually, it uses three and only uses their output when two out of three agrees). It is also compared to further

    Yeah, it's a poor formulation although the intent can be figured out if you focus hard enough but let me make it easier. > We can use tax allowances instead of actual car expenses because you can be sure the taxman won't allow

    The most insane device in this vein IMO is the Panasonic Penwriter. It's a four color typewriter (!) and plotter. Yes. It was using pens to write whatever you typed. And this was in 1985! If it'd been more reliable (surprise: it

    Is it just me who cringes heavily reading this? A single Haskell enthusiast decides to code up something in Haskell despite it doesn't fit the infra and most people don't know it. And they do this while Python already has SQL pars

    It's immediately visible AMD have no serious plans in the 65-100W package TDP territory if it gave the Vega to Intel instead of launching such a chip itself. Who wants to guess this monster hybrid will only be available in Hades Canyon

    This is strange, I remember some (ok, many) years ago a truism was predatory contracts stripped musicans of income from their albums but tours made the money. Maybe even then it was merc? I dunno.
