I think it's unreasonable to assume the vast, vast majority of users, including technically literate ones, are likely to have an in detail understanding of any specific software's installation. Requiring a few hoops - and it sound

This may simply be a case of each codec having its own strengths, however I also wonder whether the issue here isn't also that the "small" compression size you're linking to in these examples in general isn't good e

Oh they're quiet here too - it's just that (most) EVs tend to be almost inaudible. They'll make a very quiet whirring noise sometimes, but the volume is so low that you'll easily miss em. I don't know the people dr

That noise sounds bad, and unreasonable. I suppose I've just been lucky not to live near anybody that has a car making that kind of noise. Irrespective of the volume it is remarkable why any car designer thought that this was the righ

Sure, no quibbles on that front. Comparisons like this are always best taken with a lot of salt anyhow; they're so different. And it's not like tflops are the great predictor of gaming performance. Positively: as a device, havin

The M2 Max is closer to the 3060 than it is to the 3060 Ti, let alone 3070. And those numbers are quite possibly overly optimistic; workloads essentially never reach peak tflop, and I would not be surprised if practical workloads are bette

I live in the EU, and EVs are much quieter than ICE cars at low speeds in my day-to-day experience. The volume levels need to be raised significantly from my perspective; they're dangerously low here. There are quite a lot of kids on

It's a question of terminology - if you deposit a dollar in a bank, that adds to its reserves (the dollar), and its liabilites (the future dollar and potential interest). The bank wants to make a profit, and legal requirements mean it

There are all kinds of differences between 2008 and now, but setting those aside - I think the genie was out of the bottle well before 2008 - it's just in 2008 everyone noticed. After all, it doesn't sound like many experts find

Sure, but the difference is that it's now both a plausible moment to go MITM (because they got that key), and furthermore the hypothetical attacker now has good reason to believe users won't be scared by a host-key-change warning,

Presumably "compilation" is such a broad basket of activities that they each use a different workload. Have you looked at phoronix? They tend to cover that niche a little better, and will potentially have numerous compilation be

I'm not blaming anyone; it's just an observation that it's harder to find comprehensive reviews than it used to be. I mean, stuff like https://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPU-2020/2758 still exists, but

Yeah, the ad-funded model and how that supports reviewers seems to have damaged well structured and comprehensive independent review sites. It's all in videos or really low-effort stuff nowadays, and that makes it hard to draw conclus

I'm not sure it's the gamification itself so much as the details by which it's implemented. I still rarely use stackoverflow to ask questions, but I've given up on answering them. I don't mind giving answers elsewhe

I kind of _hope_ any statutes of limitations would have expired 35 years ago for events then 45 years ago. There's not much point in retaining liability for events that long ago; it's not like you'll ever catch the "croo

400Mhz off a 5.4Ghz clock is a little less than a 10% drop. While it'd be a shame if the scheduler used the "wrong" core, if that's the kind of price for a misjudgement, I don't expect it to be all that impactful i

It is impossible to read all the the terms of services, especially including all the updates, to all of the services an average person uses. There simply is way, way too much text and vague legalese to read and understand. This is incidenta

Enforcing vague rules is always problematic. The rule itself is intrinsically problematic, because people will see that others get away with it, often for seemingly no reason. While the OPs case looks clear cut, rules like this are always

As others have said, it's the middle-endianness itself which is weird. Also, if you're going to write the whole date anyhow, I don't think it makes a huge amount of sense to describe any part of it as "more important&qu

Definitely not, from experience. Browser widgets need to be context sensitive, not client sensitive. There are (at least!) two simple reasons to see that: firstly, non-browser site provided controls are more common, and those are context

The problem isn't the machine-readable encoding that indeed happens to use the ISO YMD ordering, its that you can have a site that's in language/culture X, which includes dates related to whatever events or moments are releva

Note that it i18n isn't implemented correctly by any of the browser date pickers. Date controls aren't context sensitive like humans would write dates, they're client-culture-settings sensitive. So for anybody wanting to in

I have a special hate for the native browser controls when it comes to date ordering. Given the us-centric nature of the web, most of the rest of the world needs to interact with the oddness that is US format. It's normal therefore to

Another anti-pattern this UI and most modern UI has is a dramatic reduction in the number of visual cues that identify interactivity. This is a system widget, and blue indicates interactivity... but that's almost it. The shape is ofte
