Even if consumers wanted it, it does nothing as long as they are not given the choice. They buy what's available, which is often only in part what they want.

I think people care less about contributing to society and more about having something meaningful to do. Many jobs are quite meaningless, and the only reason people work them is because they have bills to pay. On the other hand, creative pe

Work items in my case are packets from the network. There's not much I can do to batch them; perhaps increase socket buffer sizes, but that comes with its own problems, and doesn't help when the peer is waiting for a response ins

My understanding is that caches are about as power hungry as the rest of the core, and consume lot of space on the chip, which is why you find large high-TDP desktop & server chips with huge L3s and then mobile chips with rather tiny ca

I don't know if it sounds bright. It sounds like there are developments to be expected in the short term (the way the article presents it sounds like it's just supposed to be good PR for Intel), but it's not clear these tric

I disagree with the first two factors, as a European. I live in a city where people walk and cycle a lot, but that does nothing for loneliness. No, seeing random strangers on the street is not a substitute for a meaningful relationships,

Even in bigger places, it's never as simple as joining a group. I think everyone who suggests that is just (again) confusing solitude and loneliness. Being in a group and being lonely is both common and potentially quite painful. I

Am I reading this writeup wrong? Because to me it reads like "oh you're lonely? deal with it, or just make friends!" which isn't very helpful. It's more like a well-intentioned spitting in the face of everyone wh

Garbage code sounds like a fine new class of undefined behavior to add to the next C standard. You just need to teach ubsan to understand it.

It's probably recording what amounts to a demo record, which basically contains everything you would need to reconstruct the player's point of view as if you were spectating them. This means the record must contain everything the

At that rate there's also going to be plenty of redundant information, so I think this data would compress quite well.

I fully agree with this. I haven't really seen code that is 1) actually useful but 2) so clever that you can't quickly explain why or how it works (or just let the person reading it figure it out or ask stackoverflow...). So I

Yeah, the problem with turning is that you don't exactly turn in place, and if you're too far backward, you'll back into the thing you're trying to turn next to.. Forward parking sure has the same issue but for me at lea
