I really like the DuckDB philosophy, and the maintainers were really responsive and helpful with my docs questions. Didn't end up using it because the compressed database files were much larger than SQLite for my data (weird use case,

Since this was a bit hard to google: ASID = Address Space Identifier. It's a tag that uniquely identifies each processes' entries in the TLB. This ensures that your TLB lookups can be limited to the valid entries for the process,

Yes. From what I gather you wouldn't use commercial grade chips, the standard epoxy encapsulation doesn't work well at crazy temperatures and pressures. Ceramic/metal packages are preferred. See: https://www.ti.com

I'm very confident that the amount of greed and corruption in New York in 1905 was greater than or equal to the modern amount. See: Tammany Hall.

Apparently this is using hardware AV1 decode on my 11700K. No significant CPU utilization.

Expensive (this one is $700+), monochrome, fragile, dim, burn-in, high-voltage.

I'm debating whether to buy this. I have an 1800X on a B450 board with DDR4 3000 RAM. I use the PC for gaming and compiling, basically, so I should see huge benefits from the extra cache. I could double my CPU performance and breathe n

All I want to know about this is what the pinout of the connector is. I want to know how it was done and the limits of what it can do. The author has provided very little information about it[0], which makes me a little suspicious. [0]: ht

The geometry nodes demo in the release video looks extremely cool! To clarify, that is a node-graph procedurally generated house with adjustable properties (decay, etc)? I know that's been a thing for a while (speed tree, etc) but it&#

This video discusses the history and principles of classical analog computing and then says that analog computers have energy efficiency benefits over digital computers. This can give the incorrect impression that classical analog computers

The AMD drivers are pretty good, at least a year after the cards are released. AMD has only just started doing the Intel thing of pushing driver support for GPUs before they are released so you often need to run bleeding edge kernel/Me

It's kind-of crazy that macOS still doesn't support DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport - the ability to drive multiple displays with a single DisplayPort cable. That kind of thing fits Apple's ethos very well, and they are he

Pretty impressed with the performance of the cranelift and singlepass backends. They've come a long way. I am wondering why the LLVM backend takes so long to compile the TiDb Wasm. Presumably it doesn't take >3 days to compile

It's definitely the goto cheap MCU for me now, for one reason: it's in stock. It's nice that industry doesn't take it seriously.

Steam (and other stores, to a lesser extent) already does this voluntarily. There's an ecosystem of key sellers of various levels of sketchiness - greenmangaming, g2a, cdkoffers - check isthereanydeal.com. It's almost always cheap

Microsoft has been happy-ish to have their games on Steam for a while now. They probably would've gone all-in on the Xbox store if the windows store (backend) wasn't so shitty.

Rust uses any number of `#` e.g. ###"There can be "stuff without escapes" #" "# "### C# already uses @ for raw string prefixes so they could extend it's usage for multiple prefixes+suffixes. &quot

Yes. On the investor call one of the points was that Intel's cash would allow tower to expand and modernize its old 150mm and 200mm fabs, and to expand PMIC production enough to be competitive in that market.

Lots of the PHYs I've seen are 2-port switches for daisy-chaining. Cost about 50% more.

Last I checked YouTube premium doesn't pay out for your views like ads do. It goes into a single pot that is split amongst creators based on their views or ad revenue (can't remember).

The AMD Jaguar cores came out in 2013. On the other hand, the Cortex A53 came out in 2012 so it's still a bit embarrassing for AMD. That was before the AMD renaissance, though.
