It looks cool but honestly I think it’s another one of those “looks cool but never gets to v1.0” projects, like Fallout 4: New Vegas. For ravynOS, the Windows 9x buttons mixed with macOS everything else is hard to look at.

That's definitely fair to say for the short-term. I should say it's 50% as far as budgeted expenses go. Unplanned things like home repairs or medical expenses I don't consider in that "50% savings rate", which may b

I make around $140k and people who make less always tell me how lucky I am and so forth… in a way yes, but I am much closer financially to the average American than to Elon Musk or Bill Gates. I don’t live paycheck to paycheck, but I certai

I like the cut of your jib. Logical fallacies run rampant in today’s “rhetoric”. Makes it easy to brainwash people.

It’s already well-known that interest rate changes take a while (months? A year?) to effect the economy. It’s also well-known that higher interest rates hurt startups, “pre-revenue” companies, consumer buying power, etc. So to be bearish ri

It’s a crapshoot of course, but I tend to agree with a bear case these days. It takes a while for interest rate changes to completely affect the economy and the Fed is still raising rates. Credit card debt recently crossed $1T. Layoffs are

Florida! Yeah I can’t even pay the mortgage with Florida’s unemployment. They like us poor and stupid. Meanwhile my homeowner’s insurance goes up each year even though my area hasn’t been hit by a hurricane. Fun fact, Jacksonville FL gets f

My “burnout” is more like demotivation. I see a program that can do a lot or most of what I can do, and I’m like “what’s the point?” I could spend hours doing what ChatGPT can churn out in seconds… but typing out what I want ChatGPT to writ

I had a guy vote to close one of my 5-year-old questions that had an answer and plenty of upvotes at that point. It’s clearly helping people out but yeah let’s delete it because you want a badge (I’m not sure if you get a badge for that)

If I had a dollar for every time a SWE was promised “resources” to address tech debt I could probably retire. If you’re “not that PM”, good on you, but any seasoned SWE hears “we’ll address the tech debt {in the future}” and either laughs o

People are taking this comment literally and ignoring the spirit of it e.g. “for 1.5x I would but not 1.1x”… okay fine, what about 1.2x? The number doesn’t matter… the point is that SWEs care about code quality more than PMs and other non-d

But why would I want them to be E cores instead of P cores? Battery life?
497.
by gymbeaux 3y ago
I don’t see how P+E/bigLITTLE is giving Intel an edge when Ryzen 7th Gen is still whooping Intel CPUs in the power consumption department. What are some cases where one would want 2 P cores and 24 E cores?

People only seem to care about power consumption when it’s AMD

Yes. X13s is less-powerful, has worse battery life, and I think even costs more…

I might be mixing up Spectre and meltdown… one affected AMD but I don’t think the other did.

Back when I had some old rack mount servers (Ivy Bridge Xeons) I would disable the mitigations where possible/not update microcode/BIOS. The attack vectors being somewhat niche and me being the only user means the trade off for pe

For $8 the LoRA radio is a no-brainer. Idiots like me are hosting LoRA transmitters all over the country, be it via Amazon’s home devices or Helium mining.

The factual/“essentially factual” parts of this comment are disenfranchised by the hyperbole around the supposed lack of performance of M1, and the supposed performance of x86 at the $1000 price point. Macs are about as upgradable as c

I feel this way about employee discounts a little bit. Anything that encourages workers to return their earned money to the company feels wrong.

I use the Sensodyne Repair (with Novamin) toothpaste. I've been ordering it from Amazon from a Canadian seller.

The story is an excellent metaphor for how people like him (dare I say “us”) look at life. We overthink and we are uncomfortable at the thought of being “pampered” as though we are superior to the person pampering us. Logical or not, that’s

Do you not have insurance or do you just prefer to pay the cash price where possible? It’s interesting that you might be voluntarily uninsured despite having 3 kids. The system is such that your kids’ health is a bargaining chip to employer

Sure, but most people probably go out and buy them, case in point the still astronomically-high demand for Raspberry Pis. They’re cool but their pragmatic use is limited.
