I can reproduce this problem on my non-Threadripper Ryzen 5 3600 Zen 2 CPU. I don't think it's specific to TR. With AVX2 enabled, Prime95's torture test is only stable when I use 3 workers or less. With 4 workers one of them

It's certainly not the same as it was in 1999 when I begun using IRC, but I don't entirely miss anything. I realize that most of the "feeling" is just me being nostalgic. I'm happy with what IRC is and offers today,

Everything in excess of £1000 from my monthly salary I move to a separate plain savings account without any bells or whistles, and the £1000 is what I spend on a month's living; rent, bills, food, pleasures. The end.

Fun story, thanks for sharing! Is it correct that it was around the year 1997 that you were using your Commodore 64 with a tape deck to get into computers? You mention that the college was using Windows 2000 and VNC setups, and that you wer

Interesting bug observed in 19.07 by users of some routers: the unit will perpetually boot into failsafe mode despite not being triggered to do so. Recompiling with the failsafe module removed from the build solves the problem, but exposes

What are the chances that her religious zeal is part of the decision?

I understand your perspective, but I think it's GREAT that it targets Arm. If anything finally can and finally should replace x86/64, to usher in a new era of power-efficient computing, it should be Arm.

"App player". That's a really curious term. Is there any chance this will run on 64-bit Arm cores in the near future? I may have gotten the wrong impression, but from the past few years that I've perused the market of Ar

This means that every citizen - including the 40% of the population who are aged 14 or younger - planted 3.5 trees each. To me it seems like a stretch to get even one in five citizens aboard a national project.

Carrie Lam has not withdrawn the law proposal. She has begun a motion that will look into IF the proposal is going to be withdrawn. This is a world of difference. Additionally, from what can be read in various updates from the protesters, t

Choline is very common in vitamin B12 supplements, which most vegans - assuming they aren't the poorly educated lifestyle type of vegan - know they need to supplement unless they want to make algae and seaweed staples of their kitchen.

In the USA 20% is a span large enough to cover everyone from those who have roof over their heads and get by, to those who never know if today will be the day they get to eat something.

The irregular (open) bit is that it does not require uploading torrents for them to be accepted by the tracker. You can freely announce a hash, no pre-requisites, and the torrent will exist in the swarm.

That you don't need to upload a torrent file somewhere in order for it to be made available by the tracker. That is, it's not running in the typical "whitelist mode", but instead, by simply announcing yourself and a torr

It's certainly a two-way street. I think anyone would agree that trolls deserve anything but dilly-dallying, but trolls don't belong to the newbies and casuals I'm concerned with. You putting the term unfriendly in quotes, an

These are anonymous IRC aliases, not real names. What I've mentioned isn't a secret or in any way outing or revealing; keep in mind that #perl on Freenode is a public channel, and anyone who's frequented the channel for mor

There already is a well-populated #perl channel on Freenode. Unfortunately it's a socially unwell place that in a way has been taken hostage by a small tight-knit group of regulars - users like MST, Grinnz and pinkmist, to name a few -
