Well, for the past 40 years Intel managed to deliver node shrinks mostly on time. Management got used to that and thought that 10nm troubles were temporary, not something that required new design like rumored 10/12nm hybrid replacing o

It has been on the way out for the last 10 years. I suspect that X11 outlives Wayland simply because the latter will be replaced by yet another technology but X11 applications will still be supported.

There is a similar censoring of Saudi Arabia that also contributes to various scholarships and conferences. So there is no discussion of this fascist state.

A version of this I heard in Russia is similar. But they also suggest to open the mouth to ensure relaxation of face muscles and roll up one's eyes. The latter moves eyes to their position during sleep.

In Norway despite rising Airbnb hotel revenues increased. On a recent conference I talked with PhD students and they told me that without AirBnb they would not attend as travel expenses would be outside their travel budget.

It is really a nice point about competing with themselves. The volume of Intel is rather big that they have to sell to the same customer each 2-3 years even if CPUs are in principle can last 10 years or more. So they must increase the perfo

In 1990 when I was finishing school I bet with my classmate that there would be a permanent Moon base in 2010. As the result my much more practical buddy got 1500$ from his investment into sceptictical thinking.

One can even download free samples of the books which makes it very convenient to pay on kindle or the website later. But it is sad that Apple decided that apps cannot even mention that purchase has to be done at the website.

As a child I used to commute to the school in an overcrowded public bus of late Soviet Union type. And overcrowded meant that one had to literally squeeze oneself into the bus. As it was often impossible even to look at the window as that w

Go developers made a reasonable choice. Unstable API is just another way to say that there is no API. And with zero API any change is compatible and cannot break anything. So there is no need for v0.

Writing from scratch in Rust and using process per domain isolation from the very start can make things much more secure. But I doubt that is something that can be done under, say, 3 years.

I read that some free divers advised against hyperventilating. Instead they suggested to train to control urges to breathe despite rising CO2 in blood. This is much more difficult, but this way one keeps a solid indicator of dangerously low

Exhaust from a Diesel has much brighter IR signature as it’s exhaust particles are black bodies that radiates and scatter IR very effectively. As turbine generate much cleaner exhaust of molecules that does not radiate much in IR on their o

US tanks use turbine, not Diesel engines. More military could have used those, especially as infra-red signature of turbines is lower, but it is chicken and egg problem. The present market is small and for tanks a turbine initially develope

Bosch in Germany used to have a big research facility dedicated to Diesel engines and their control systems. They stopped that and converted the facility to research and develop various control systems for electrical cars. So Diesel days ar

numpy wiki summaries that well [1]. Too many things especially with complex math cannot run in parallel unless one spends a lot of time on workarounds. One starts with quick and dirty solution, makes it work on a small dataset and then stru

This is my thinking as well. Python is nice to glue things, but doing high-performance math is not its strength. Things like GIL should be addressed long time ago, but it seems it is so fundamental to make things work in Python that I have

This makes the price of the charger explicit and unrelated to phone purchase. If I have a previous version of a device and I replace it with newer one why should I pay for the new charger as well?

by fpoling 8y ago
That automatically puts pressure on manufacturers to standardize things and made them think twice before introducing incompatible charger/cable.

by fpoling 8y ago
The point is to make people to pay for what they wanted. In my case if a fast charger were optional, I would skip it. Each day I need to sleep for >=7 hours and fast charger does not change that.

If EU wants to save on e-waste, it should dictate that phone should be sold without chargers or cables. If one wants a new cable or a charger, the person should pay for it extra.

This may explain why skills in chess don't translate beyond the chess. A good chess player has simply no patterns to recall in situations outside the chess.

In Norway electricity is cheap and I have found that people heat their houses to higher temperatures than in neighboring countries during long cold time. But then lower office temperature is uncomfortable.
