Are you implying that the Salafist-Jihadist rebels in Syria don't do the exact same? Because they make people "disappear" too, in addition to brutally and savagely executing people in public (decapitation, mutilation, etc). A

Zen CPU sales are expected to be brisk for some time, supply yields are likely an issue as well as laptop OEMs probably feeling skittish about pricing. AMD announced a refresh of their APUs but it's probably just a half-hearted stop-ga

Zen+Vega APUs will probably come early next year and I've seen anecdotal reports suggesting to hold off for Zen+Navi in late 2018/early 2019.

We will likely see Zen-based laptops before we see Zen-based standalone APUs, with laptops coming for the holiday season (ie: Oct/Nov) and APUs late 1H18.

Some of the generated speech clips are unsettlingly robotic while WaveNet sounds passable, but it's the piano compositions that I found unnerving. I can't explain how but randomly generated music sounds so hollow and cold.

With regards to better algorithms than the OS -- jemalloc is not quite there yet. Here is an illuminating discussion between Redis and Jemalloc devs regarding this: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/

Presumably, time complexity for most operations correspond directly with CPU usage. See here for an example with RPUSH: https://redis.io/commands/rpush RPUSH is O(1) which the best you can possibly get. ZADD on the oth

Memory fragmentation is largely related to the allocator you're using (ie: glibc malloc, jemalloc, tcmalloc) and previously it was up to the OS to manage this (ie: freeing up unused memory). Now with active memory defragmentation thing

I have always found it to be a fair bit more visually appealing than AWS and more performant than Google Cloud Console. Granted it is on the more bizarre/eccentric side.

As a matter of fact, it certainly makes things a fair bit more pleasant than the current state of affairs as they -- shared array buffers -- are another data primitive on top of bidirectionally passing strings/buffers.

Interesting how AMD differentiates over only raw performance (eg: clock rate, cache size, core count, etc) whereas Intel still differentiates on hard-hitting features (ie: HyperThreading and OmniPath both cost extra). I think this will defi
