Yeah, I agree that isn't always the right choice. If all you need is horizontal scalability, then more processes is fine, but it won't work when you actually need multiple cores working on the same task

Do it in C++ because CPU bound performance is terrible in JS anyways

If it "didn't matter" then there wouldn't be such a massive difference in the opinions of Muslims and non-Muslims about secular topics. Islam in particular is also more like religious and political ideology intertwined,

It wasn't "ban all Muslims" it was "ban all Muslims from entering", which is a pretty important distinction & not anywhere near as severe as deportation. The travel ban was really stupid in my opinion -- but I d

>The probability of you being killed by a terrorist or a Muslim in the US is tiny compared to your chances of being killed by a native born or white (assuming you're white). The percentages are so small, it makes such an outsized co

But deporting Muslims? He definitely didn't campaign on that. And that he targeted LGBT people is a real stretch. Even Obama was more anti-LGBT in 2008.

No, and if you took a closer look at the stats you'd see that it's not even true that they're disproportionately responsible for mass shootings or terrorism generally.

How dare he want an immigration policy that benefits American workers before corporations and foreign workers! It's so immoral that I'm literally shaking! /s

I dunno, I thought it had enough emphasis. Seriously though, it's hard to have it any other way when this issue has been moralized as much as it has. A nation has a fundamental right to control it's borders and determine who does

Honestly, TB3 kind of makes one of the main features of the Surface Book irrelevant in my opinion. If you can just connect a dGPU at your desk, do you really need one in the base of the laptop? Is that worth the related driver issues and th

Except there was absolutely no talk during the campaign or after the election about cancelling H1B visas...

I would imagine the passive cooling ought to work well enough given the hardware they've put in it.

I didn't realize Google employed illegal immigrants.

Probably both, if my experiences in this industry in the Midwest are any indicator of how things are at Google...

Interesting, I wasn't aware of these issues. I'm pretty much strictly doing web & server development though

Unibody helps make it thinner, too. A traditional laptop design had to have both structrual components and outer casing -- unibody designs do both and save space

Do they really? Wow...fuck Apple. I have been using Mac for years but I don't want to pay that much for severely handicapped hardware. Especially when it's just in pursuit of thinness and aesthetics.

Google's PixelBook could be a good option if you don't have any need for Windows. It will run Linux easily via crouton.

This is just an insane device to me. Aspects of it are performance oriented, but the same or better performance can be had for 1/3-1/2 the cost in other laptops. Personally I'd rather just have an iPad that's good at bei

The RetroPi stuff is probably single-threaded. If they were pushing all cores to 100%, they'd probably have issues too.

It should be the case though. Competent, autonomous, and trustworthy is a pretty low bar.

The only good reason I can think of to support something other than x86_64 is running on something like a raspberry pi or some sort of 'embedded' device. That's not really suited to the goals of Dragonfly anyways, NetBSD or L

What’s worked best for me is basically ‘agile’ but without a lot of what I consider to be the bullshit. Project manager and/or team lead prioritize new cards as they come in, and developers just keep working on them. No sprints, just k

They’re supposed to be a check on power, but they’ve become a tool of it instead.

Just to clarify on my own position a bit, I don't think freedom of the press or freedom of speech are overrated at all, I think the institutions themselves are overrated and run by corrupt people. The freedoms themselves are essential

Well, given that the established aristocracy was mostly destroyed in communist revolutions in each country, it's not entirely surprising. You need political support from that class of people in the U.S., although being one of them isn&

Of course they didn't invent it, but they've perverted it entirely. The difference between mainstream choices is essentially just which corporate agenda you prefer. The impact of that is a lot broader than micro targeted Facebook

Isn’t any media company’s ability to hide behind “we’re the free press and we’re necessary for democracy” even more potent than SV’s faux dedication to the interests of humanity? There’s a lot wrong with what SV companies do, but they don’t

Essentially every major institution is like this, the NY Times and the rest of the media included. We should probably be less fixated on which particular groups of corporations are 'good' or 'bad' and deal with the under
