You are correct - I forgot what a massive market laptops are. I wouldn't personally consider an AMD-based laptop just yet, hopefully that will change soon! Exciting times.

The only thing holding up Intel at the moment is their gaming IPC. Should AMD crack that then it'll be brutal for them (if it isn't already).

A real coder. Heh guys we have a real coder here. He gets paid and everything! Not a factor. I also know people that don't have a problem with the MBP keyboard, I also know many colleagues who are driven to distraction daily (mysel

Dell XPS15 with Ubuntu has literally been my best developer environment ever. Unfortunately my current gig is all MBP and I feel completely handicapped, even after many months - to the point I have resorted to a "proper" mechanica

I've been fighting my MBP15 keyboard for so long. Eventually I put a USB PC keyboard on my desk with a matching keyboard map. Abso-fucking-lute bliss ! I think my productivity has gone up literally 80%

Vitamin C is a myth, Vitamin D3 however does affect the immune system. Best taken with magnesium and calcium. Also important for bone health. Most people would benefit from vitamin D3 supplements in the darkest months. https://ww

Wow that really is depressing. Why doesn't Australia use the massive potential of Solar? They must have million square miles to spare which has year-round (very strong) sunlight? Even at relatively low yields, it would be huge. Edit: j

In the UK, a gallon of Petrol is currently about $7.97 (about £1.20/litre).

I think I based my initial thoughts on this paper (or a citation of): http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/Papers/AnticipationControl.pdf

Why are you thinking? You are anticipating various scales of "the future", using memories of past events. As computers try to anticipate the future more, they may also start to "experience" things.

by hunta2097 7y ago
I live by a couple of (vaguely related) principles: a) Consciousness is just your brain trying to anticipate the future. b) Your brain compresses (normalises?) repetition in memories. So even if day to day events happen at normal speed, the

I was going to make this point. While having a huge market share, Apple doesn't dominate in the EU, so generic terms are more common. Here in the UK people just have "Smartphones" and "tablets" (tho I do hear people

Yes, you can be spiritual to an extent. That's very different from the gods described in most religious texts. It's becoming pretty clear how everything since the big bang came to be.

Yes, I have some really clever friends who still attend church but at least here in the UK they are the exception. I put it down to religion being deeply embedded into self-identity, especially in families and spousal relationships where ev

If you really want to suppress religion just educate your population. Higher levels of education are linked with lower levels of religious commitment, especially the more extreme versions of zealotry. I don't really understand how some

I think this may be the case for many brain-related illnesses. My son is severely autistic and through schools etc I know a lot of autistic children and adults. They are all very different but still labelled as "autistic spectrum"

IMO there is a slight history of people wanting to "look the part" by having a Mac. This seems to be changing though, my company has shifted to XPS-15s running Ubuntu and people seem to be loving it. If your company relies on MS O

Wow - you are correct. I must have imagined it. GitLab FTW!

FYI: Mermaid is supported in Markdown on both GitLab and GitHub. It's awesome, I hope they continue to extend it.

I love InfluxDB, apart from the need to have separate retention policies when reducing granularity over time. Are there any plans for a more unified method of performing continuous queries - so that we can query high granularity and older,

I hope this gets fixed in the Windows kernel soon, maybe they haven't got 32/64+ core machines to test during the development cycle? It's incredible that AMD haven't found this out themselves and published it more widely

Great insight. I am fond of the phrase "final generation nuclear". We need 30 years of nuclear fission before we can sustain fusion. I think we're already past the point where some nuclear risk is acceptable. It's not a

I don't think anything is going to resolve the "i'm having a stroke" feeling when a VR game freezes or crashes. Imagine your vision froze in real-life, you would rightly freak out.
