But these performance numbers are meaningless without some sort of standard comparison case. So if you measure that e.g. some string operation takes 100ns, how do you compare against the numbers given here? Any difference could be due to PC

That's interesting, but in my experience cycling groups are the most social individual sports groups (even more social than many team sports even). Even the performance focused groups tend to stop at the coffee shop for some banter aft

I can only speak to my own experience, but for the last 1 year I have been by myself and my 2 younger daughters in a new town. I work remotely, but also have some very good friends that I can rely on when I need. Those friends are distribut

That comment does not make sense. Do you mean the sun emits it's peak intensity at green (I don't believe that is true either, but at least it would make a physically sensical statement). To clarify why the statement does not make

This bugs the hell out of me, somehow these companies argue that training on all sort of content without is fine because reasons and then have the audacity to attach a new proprietary licence to it.

I doubt resolution is a limiting factor LCoS (transmissive ones are lower resolution typically though, but you could build reflective) phase modulators are available in 4k resolution (and maybe even higher). And I don't know if you nee

Not sure if it's sold in the US (assuming you are from there), but the Kia PV5 is probably your best bet. On top of that it's very reasonably priced (in contrast to the ID buzz)

So what is it, in one comment you say there were plenty of x11 devs who objected to wayland (please name and show the posts) and on the other hand you say there were not enough to keep an xorg fork going? People are arguing that fixing the

By now I am not sure if these posts can stil be given the benefit of the doubt or are just dishonest. Who were the developers pushing wayland because of their employers? Kristian Høgsberg (who was a significant xorg developer, because peopl

But you don't need to configure wireguard on the individual devices just on the openwrt router. That's one device and you can keep that on permanently.

In Europe you have free roaming so it (almost?) never makes sense to get a new sim per country.

Why do you think this would be difficult to do using openwrt? Wouldn't you just set up the travel router to have the same ssid and password as your home network and configure a wireguard tunnel from the travel router to your home ne

I find fascinating how the efficiency of local coffee shops differs based on country. If you go to a place with good/excellent coffee in e.g. the US or Sweden they typically have the latest and fanciest equipment, and the coffee making

What I don't really understand is why the big data centre operators destroy their old cards instead of selling them off. What are the downsides for them? Apart from the obvious, i.e. it would bring in money, would it not also drive dow

Thank you, you have been the first person to articulate why passkeys are actually an advantage. Everyone else I've read from was focusing on the client side and there I really don't see a significant advantage. In fact it seems it

That's what I still don't understand. Why is "something you have" deemed more secure than "something you know". For a while everyone was harping on MFA, but suddenly passkeys came along and now SFA is fine as l

The distance is likely calculated based on the stored volume and the area you cover until the height is significantly below head height (because as you point out CO2 settles to the bottom). Regarding the little house 15m from the bubble, th

It's unlikely that the thing will burst and disperse all CO2 immediately. It's just slightly higher pressure than the outside (that's the whole principle). So you have a slow leak of CO2 to the outside. You don't have to

But the quote "Here's how not to get banned next time" is rather factitious. It's in fact "we will not even tell you why you got banned". I don't know what you mean by "tipping off" laws mean, bu
