Truly mind boggling scale. Twenty years ago we had just 1-2 cores per CPU, so we were lucky to have 4 cores in a dual socket server. A single server can now have almost 400 cores. Yes, we can have even more ARM cores but they don't pe

There is quite simply an incredible amount of productivity that can be extracted from a speedy, full sized laptop or desktop that smaller screen devices are not likely to reach no matter what fancy features they come up with. What I can do

Upvoting this. It is extremely frustrating when you recognize a like-minded individual, you want to engage with them, befriend them, for the benefit of both, and you're just unable to because they neglected to add some contact detail&#
