The real meat from the article: https://dev.to/dkechag/how-geekbench-6-multicore-is-broken-b... First plot really says it all.

Sounds like another win for my gym bros. The science is still catching up.

That had not occurred to me and I'm also not sure. FreeDOS was able to boot just fine into the live environment. It was the disk part that failed.

Next: Palantir thinks high school might be a waste of time, so they are hiring middle schoolers. Wait...

I have it on my to-do list to install FreeDOS on bare metal to set up a retro gaming box. Tried once, but for some reason the installer failed writing to disk. Anyway, if anyone is making new FreeDOS games, I'll gladly pay for them, an

It's so old, that the 3D icons and window borders will be new again when 1.0 is released. Talk about some long-term vision. But jokes aside, I always enjoy reading about custom OSes.

And the exact same thing can be done in C++.

Videos on that page have more information than the post's link.

Yeah, that is a lot more insightful than Synadia's marketing spew, thanks. The BDFL point is particularly interesting to me having followed C++ for almost two decades and having been disenfranchised by the inconsistency of the design.

Yeah, for sure. It's interesting to read about what developers thought of OSes or programming languages of yore, especially from Carmack. But GP is already begging for praise on Mac or something.

by grg0 1y ago
Why does this matter to you at all? It's funny to see all the Mac apologizer comments having to clarify that "oh no, but that Mac was so different". As if the modern incantation is any better; we just had a thread two days

Those are good, actual points against EVs. I should have added hybrids in my original comment.
107.
by grg0 1y ago
That's not the point and it's also irrelevant. People don't buy a car because they have a love of gas or electricity; they buy what works and is affordable. Chinese EVs are getting more range, have more software and safety fe

I find the latter very amusing, actually. Have tech CEOs confused money as a proxy of power for actual power? Did they really think they could "buy" a guy that grew up in the mafia world of real estate?
109.
by grg0 1y ago
That is the real question to me. Surely ramping production of gas cars at the expense of a slower adoption of EV technology is a step backwards in the global market? Regardless of what you think of the EV regulations, isn't the underly

Zero confidence why? Market segments exist. I want hardware that I can afford and own, not AI/datacenter crap that is useless to me.

This article presents the apparently widespread, but incorrect and, frankly, boring view that "coding" is the bottleneck in development. The following statement summarizes this view best: > Many knowledge-work tasks are harder

I am not strictly sure why you are being downvoted, but raising interest rates does not get you out of the 'stag' in stagflation; it actually makes it worse. Cue EU governments circa 2008 for a recent example of where that kind of

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. Curious to know what that article was. Was it an actual study or just some random post?

Why is your blog post down?

Those are centralized and apparently the former at least now requires phone verification. Not even close.

I think to anyone who has used it, it is plain testament that social networks do not scale. This is a social limitation, not a technical one. What killed the Internet is the centralization of platforms compounded by the commercial interest

I agree with OP and find the literal programming in that book incredibly distracting and annoying. I prefer the theory up front and the code later. "Ray Tracing From the Ground Up" does a much better job in my opinion (although it

In the old days, when somebody asked a stupid question on a chat/forum that was just a search away, you would link them to "let me google it for you" (site seems down, but there is now a "let me google that for you&quo
