This is likely it as the AMD CPU has a built-in low power Radeon GPU, and there's a monster Nvidia card for gaming. Do you know how I can check if the discrete card is being used / drawing power?

It does not. I use some extra software to try and improve that, which helps, but it also means the laptop is noticably laggy on battery. But you're right that is likely part of the equation. I don't think it's the whole story

Do you make less than minimum wage? Because even at minimum wage it saves me enough time a month to pay for itself. In my opinion it has a positive ROI after a single day.

Yes, it's not a fair comparison. More like a wake-up call. Rust can get pretty complex. Especially if you're using async and then you need pin. Like c++, languages that strive for zero cost abstraction seem to put a large cost bur

I've used Lua, it's nice and simple like Go. I tried Haskell, but I found it unreasonably complex to be practical. I only learn programming languages if I have a practical reason to use them, so I never picked it up again. Perhaps

Rust is a systems language, like C++. I don't think your comparison is fair. Also I've done a lot of C++ programming over the years, and I won't willingly go back to that. It is a horror in my opinion.

Yes, I think async is where a lot of the complexity comes in.

44.2% of young men not masturbating at all? That's highly implausible. How about self reported numbers are just not reliable for this survey.

Based on self reported frequency. How much can we trust that?

The only possible solution four decades ago was nuclear, and even then it was only a partial solution, and which people oppose for illogical reasons. The story now is much more hopeful. I also hope nuclear can be a part of it, but I think b

I think three degrees of warming is unavoidable at this point. The massive coordination and effort it would take to avoid that seems like wishful thinking at best. I still hope I'm pleasantly surprised here, but I'm skeptical. It&

Yes. Quite easily, the materials are common. They require energy to process and ship, but that does not have to come from fossil fuels. I'm confident we'll get there. There will be lots of mitigating the damage from climate change

Why won't he be thrown in jail? This looks pretty open and shut. The courts will confiscate his assets and jail him. This is quite similar to what happened to Bernie Madoff.

You're building up a strawman and then knocking out down. Obviously people perform differently depending on what things they have to overcome, and people also have good and bad days. For the purposes of my argument, it didn't matt

I agree with that, but mind you there are two kinds of job numbers. The household survey numbers and the official ones which mysteriously diverge from the survey before elections, but otherwise track nicely. There's some two million jo

Do you guys work on the same industry as me? There's easily a 10x difference between the best guy on the team and the worst guy who's about to be on the performance plan. It's a real thing. A lot of programmers really suck. I

That's no leverage in running. There's a lot of leverage in software engineering. That's what allows such a wide diversity of productivity.

Give me a cheap EV glued together in India out of plastic parts rather. Or a nice e-bike. The solar on the car is just a gimmick. Put the solar on my roof rather.

If those links are the best you can do, then I stand by my claims. Israel is not a terrorist state. Hamas is. While you are correct that one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, it comes down to the details. Actively

I highly doubt it, but it's not impossible. Bitcoin doesn't really have any intrinsic value to provide a floor for the price. It's all technicals, all perception.

You just repeated the same things. That's does not make Israel a terrorist state. It's horrible, yes. But the US has done some pretty horrible things too. That doesn't make it a terrorist state either. Words matter. Now Hamas

What are these acts of terrorism then? Sources please. Not denying there must be some for you to believe this, just stating that I am unaware of them.

I really like squash merges because then you know tests passed at every commit. Makes bisect easier, and thus more likely to be used. And no headaches when you can't rebase or you screw up a rebase, which will happen.
