What is an example of something that we know outside of science?

by mattst88 5y ago
Exactly. When I was at Intel (working on the Mesa 3D drivers for Linux) we would routinely get reports that performance was less than on Windows and ultimately determine it was because on Windows the thermal limits would be set to e.g. 45W

When I joined the Mesa team at Intel in 2012, Mesa had just gained support for OpenGL 3.0, many years behind the latest. Only a few companies (Intel, VMware, Red Hat) contributed to Mesa in significant ways. Proprietary drivers were still t

Thanks, that looks impressive. It doesn't look like it supports filtering on headers -- at least I don't see any calls to GmailMessage.getHeader(), and the only call to GmailMessage.getRawContent() appears to be in retrieving the

Could you say something about the analysis you did to decide that wind was going to be useful for you? I'm interested but I don't really don't have a good sense for how cost effective a wind turbine is or how to evaluate a si

I think you should consider this view in the context of various country's immigration policies. Privilege definitely comes into play.

I've always been confused by the situation with Realtek Linux drivers. Does anyone know why they are not contributing to the kernel directly? (Just a guess: their drivers are from the same codebase as the Windows driver and use a bunch

This is FUD. Intel's 3D graphics drivers are in Mesa (Vulkan and OpenGL) and have been for more than a decade. The team at Intel (which I was a member of until I left a year ago) continues to develop and improve the drivers.

Soldering isn't the hard part. People can do that no problem. The hard part is understanding the device without schematics. See https://www.wsj.com/video/series/joanna-stern-personal-techn... for a very good

Yes, although Qt is licensed under both the (L)GPL and a commercial license, The Qt Company does things such as making the current v5.15 LTS branch commercial-only when v6.0 was released. See https://www.theregister.com/2021

Is it possible to do something about the pollutants inherent to cooking? Clearly you can do something about the pollutants from gas. Maybe the pollutants from one dwarf the other? I have no idea, but I'd be interested to learn the answ

Hah! That was the system my small university IT department bought to act as a storage server. Actually they bought 2, with one to act as a backup. Unfortunately for them, no one knew how to administrate Solaris, so they... installed Windows

Can you explain how that works or what it does? I understand delay slots, but I didn't know it was legal to have a branch in a delay slot, so I don't really know what this means :)

It's funny that he would notice that but not notice that RI and CT are reversed in his graph. E.g., NY -- PA, RI, VT New York borders Connecticut, but not Rhode Island.

dnsmasq is an incredible piece of software. I ended up giving it a try after struggling to set up ISC BIND and ISC DHCP to work in conjunction (e.g., to create reverse DNS entries when DHCP assigns an IP to a machine). dnsmasq was such a br
