Somehow Peltor ear-muffs manage to look nicer than this. I hope no one shows Rams one of these, he might just die of shock how tasteless they are.

Almost all games use their own VFS layer which heavily lean toward "few huge files with a lookup table" to work around NTFS' deficiencies. They used to be often chunked into 2 GB files, but since a few years developers stoppe

Note that the W-3275M is part of Cascade Lake, which is a really small iteration on Skylake-X, the most notable change is probably that it includes hardware mitigations. Otherwise fairly little changed about the cores themselves since 2015.

GCC's cp/pt.c is around 30k lines. But I don't expect the implementation of templates to be this localized, sure, most of it is probably in that module, but a lot will be strewn about the code base, too.

Firefox (and I think Chrome as well) does color management for images, and I think they even do it correctly these days (i.e. no tag = assume sRGB), which they did not for some time (out of the box). FWIW I think the Windows approach to col

Windows color management is pretty much just a folder where ICC files go to die. Everything needs to be done by the application. Nothing is color managed by default. This alone makes HDR displays (which aren't sRGB in HDR mode) less th

20 W of IO die power regardless of idling seems the more likely answer.

You're looking for a mobile workstation / desktop replacement. Some of these care little enough about the "thin and light" to have built-in carrying handles :)

Ah, I wish I would've known about format-preserving encryption when I did something similar a few years back! I ended up using IDEA, which (at the time) was still in most crypto libraries and has a 64 bit block size.

Instead of doing random bytes, you can also just use a 64 or 128 bit permutation ("block cipher") on standard primary keys, which doesn't rip and tear your indices.

The M1 core is roughly on par with the Zen 3 core, so how exactly would an 8 core part manage to embarrass a 64 core Zen 2 part?

It's actually really impressive how well Intel desktop CPUs still do considering they're still made on a (continuously improved) five year old process.

It is, because there may be multiple things synchronizing their inputs and outputs to the refresh, which causes the refresh-related latency to be a number of frames. E.g. in some Linux compositors inputs are latched with the refresh, apps t

Latencies like this are doable with a lot of tuning on Intel CPUs; out of the box you'll get to the 40s with fast memory. And those CPUs have three cache levels instead of two... A good old-fashioned 2010-era gaming PC would already ge

Nikon's poor support for video (even though being one of the first to market) boggles the mind. They don't even have professional video cameras that could be cannibalized, I don't think they even make camcorders.

It's sched_getaffinity, which makes sense, since that's what taskset and friends modify. $ strace nproc sched_getaffinity(0, 128, [0, 1, 2, ..., 78, 79]) = 40 fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(0x88, 0x

Even if the energy source would still be purely fossile-based (which it isn't), it would still be a net win, since large power plants are more efficient than ICE vehicles and are better set up to reduce emissions other than CO2.

I suspect you mean they come with two channels on a single chip, which is not the same as two ports. Channels access separate bits of memory. Ports access the same bits of memory.

The RAM doesn't publish anything because it isn't doing any ECC. ECC memory is just wider memory (72 bits instead of 64 bits per row). The ECC itself is performed by the memory controller, which makes sense, because doing ECC in t

The Cinebench R23 results seem kinda weird to me. The 5950X would have almost a 40 % clock speed advantage over the M1 (~5 GHz 1C vs 3.2 GHz 1C), yet the M1 is only about 8 % slower in an entirely ALU-limited SIMD benchmark? This suggests t

What'd be the point? Both of these are sociopaths, they're fully aware of what they're doing, what the effects are and they simply do not care.
