You can also replace the battry on the X1 carbon (RAM is soldered, though). Lenovo even provides videos showing how to remove the battery and other components: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht5087

That means "don't step into traffic". It doesn't mean "you're not allowed to cross the road unless there's a pedestrian crossing". Crossing the road outside of marked pedestrian crossings is perfectly

Yeah, and if you want to use clang-format include reordering in such a project, you should read the docs for clang-format's "IncludeCategories". It allows you to separate your includes into blocks by providing regexes and ass

An example that comes to mind is butter. It's feminine (die Butter), but in some dialects, it's masculine (der Butter). There are maps for several other words at http://www.atlas-alltagssprache.de/runde-5/f15a

From a European perspective, arriving at the train station 30 minutes in advance sounds completely absurd. I'd say 10 minutes is much closer to the average here (Germany). I took Amtrak from DC to NYC once and the whole boarding proces

The question is not if you're carrying $400 in cash, but whether you can afford that expense. A credit card paid off in full is considered cash-equivalent: "When faced with a hypothetical expense of only $400, 59 percent of adu

Then you can buy an EPYC 7702P. It's not like they don't make 64 core CPUs. Or get a dual-socket board and buy two 7702s if 128 cores are more to your liking.

We built a Ryzen machine in an old rack-mount workstation chassis at work before EPYC was released. The motherboard has a bunch of RGB contour lights on it, which you can see through the grille at the back of the chassis. Looks really daft

Saying that $370 is not a lot of money shows just how far removed the tech bubble is from the rest of the world. "Four in 10 adults in 2017 would either borrow, sell something, or not be able pay if faced with a $400 emergency expens

No, the argument was that because a binary representation of the number n needs ⌈log n⌉ bits, incrementing it would require O(log n) time. And my argument was that accessing these bits in memory takes an amount of time that grows with

By your logic, memory access takes time Ω(n^(1/3)) because memory cells need to occupy physical space and we live in a three-dimensional reality, so the time to access a memory cell must necessarily increase with the physical distance

No no no! Big O has nothing to do with Turing machines at all ! You can, of course, express the number of steps a single-tape deterministic Turing machine needs to solve some problem using Big O notation. But you can just as well express t

Well yeah, for many problems, there are solutions that have wonderful running time in the RAM model, like van Emde Boas trees or Fibonacci heaps, but are approximately 100% useless in practice because of the constants involved. I guess this

by lorenzhs 7y ago
Uh, that's what the theory people do, too. We make assumptions about the model, for example, that if our input is of size n, a machine word should be able to store that number (word size θ(log n) bits). Otherwise we'd never get an

No. Stop. That's not how this works. Yes, Big O notation measures asymptotic growth of functions. But what do those functions express? For them to express running times, you need to define a machine model. It's a model because i

> That is how Big O notation works. No it is not. "Big O" is a way of expressing asymptotic growth of some quantity, most often running time. But you need a machine model to even express running time. And sure, you can define y

Outside of our bubble, people don't care about ECC memory on their laptop or desktop. It also adds ~12% (iirc) more memory cells, meaning higher memory cost, which is going to be a hard sell given that it's a solution to a problem
