There is a bit of a misunderstanding in this thread I think. I (and others, I believe) were arguing when a car we would want to buy could forgo a steering wheel. You're right that e.g. Uber could have a steering-wheel-less fleet that t

I wasn't replying to the person, I was replying to /you/. The impression I got from your statement was that you consider fully autonomous vehicles not far off. I disagree. The point I was making was that the vehicles you see

Embedded would be a field with longer-lived software, yes. I used to work on helicopter avionics. I'd be surprised if the projected service life of the software was less than 30 years. Downside: everything is amazingly old-fashioned, e

While your reply is genuinely amusing (thank you), how is it actually true? What do we gain from having NUL everywhere, as opposed to having it in only one specific location, e.g. root? Also, as an aside, I thought it wasn't a magic f

Thanks for the suggestion. I was unclear, this only happens after a fresh install, before I've installed Bumblebee and its dependencies. Once that is out of the way, I don't need to worry about it any more.

100W idle is quite a lot in absolute terms, and more than I'd like because my boxes tend to run 24/7 (as do yours, I assume), but I suppose for the sheer amount of hardware you're running it's actually pretty reasonable.

I experience the same issue on my Skylake i5 :-) IIRC in my case it goes away once I install bumblebee. Apparently something to do with switching between internal Intel graphics and the dedicated Nvidia chip, and not at all related to your

Nice build. I've been considering something similar every now and then. The argument that makes me pull back though is my fear that its power draw would be considerable. How much power does your system draw? Idle, and/or under loa

I'm far from an expert on CPU architectures, but I suppose there are diminishing returns. Most of my functions use less than 16 values, and those that do may well iterate over more than 128. Also you're probably aware that modern
