At the moment, the closest thing AMD has to efficiency cores is Zen 4c - and it's really not an eco core in the traditional sense. https://www.techpowerup.com/310057/amd-zen-4c-not-an-e-core-...

The power draw on these compared to AMD feels absolutely bizarre - in an age where we're supposed to be trying to conserve resources, it feels ridiculously wasteful to burst up to 430W [1] for minor gains. That's over 200W more th

Ah, I’m installing from an image of the CD I had as a child ;) probably explains the differences!

My experience of running Red Alert 2 on modern Windows is pretty horrific, and it looks like it’s shared by a lot of people: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_A... More generally, I usually hav

I've not noticed any dependencies on NetworkManager when using Cockpit for VMs on Debian? My servers configure their networking using Debian's usual ifupdown, and NetworkManager isn't even installed!

It's a very useful tool to manage libvirt + KVM remotely without trawling through poorly documented XML, it's accessible from any platform - even an iPad, and it requires next to no setup (basically install the package and add a c

Much better now :) Thanks for taking that onboard and resolving it.

Or, perhaps, there are more nuanced reasons? I had a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3. The earpads collapsed quite badly after about a year of constant use at work, and the inside of the (very shallow!) ear cups starting pressing on my ears, which e

The swipe ads for digitalocean on this are tremendously obnoxious as they break back and forward swiping on Safari on iPhone. That’s not okay, don’t do this. But hey, it’s a way to guarantee that you’ll annoy people enough to not use it.

Adjusting front wing angle is standard practice during stops - they’ll certainly do it when they change tyre compound (eg from softer to harder tyres), and they do it quite often otherwise. They have specialised tools to do it too!

And, each group is probably an order of magnitude smaller than the one before it - nearly everyone just uses their ISP's router. A small number of people use routers you can buy from Amazon, or in a store. A really tiny number of peopl

I think there's largely three groups that home users fall into here: 1. people who just use the router their ISP provides 2. people who go and buy off the shelf consumer routers/wifi - eg Netgear, Linksys, TP-Link 3. the kinds of

I seem to think that the primary UK mirror ( http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ ) was problematic for v6 for a while? But these days the https://deb.debian.org/ mirror is really heavily pushed, and that one seems to w

It's a little tricky - the more unique v6 allocations we have, the more complex routing gets, and the more resources it needs. Having a ton of people/businesses with their own announced and unaggregatable /48s would add a lot

The other common mistake is blocking ICMPv6 completely. This creates a really broken IPv6 stack! edit: I've been running dual-stack with Windows, macOS, iOS & Linux for at least a decade now - I think it's closer to 20 years t

However, Steam offers more eyeballs, and in particular, more eyeballs that actually buy games. The extra 18% doesn't feel as unreasonable when you get to make a lot more sales.

I can confidently say I’ve never had these issues using firstname@firstnamelastname.co.uk and firstname@firstnamelastname.com… Are you using an unusual vanity domain TLD?

Geekbench scores do not compare between versions - you have a v4 score for the MNT Reform and a v6 score for the M1.

I feel like the screen is far too high res for the GPU performance available - I’d love to be proven wrong, but I think this device will basically live on FSR2.

Honestly I agree with this. When I was more junior, or not doing programming as a full time job, I was more motivated to work on personal projects. Now I am more senior and programming/managing people full time, I can't get motiva

BizHawk is basically a wrapper for other emulators, though. Essentially a fancy frontend.

Ah, I was thinking more about lock in as more of a hard technical lock in (where he talks about setting up new build systems, CI, etc) rather than a soft lock in created via a lack of education & understanding, but I can see how that ca

by minimaul 3y ago
The section on Lock In effects makes little sense to me - if you look at popular .NET IDEs for instance, they mostly produce .sln and .csproj files - which is the defacto .NET standard, and works with the standard command line tooling. They

At small ISP scales, the cost of CGNAT isn't too high. Larger ISPs tend to be longer lived and often have large pools of v4 allocations that they didn't pay market rates for, so are happy to sweat long term.

Reasonably practical - this is similar conceptually to what a lot of v6 mobile networks do with eg 464xlat et al.

by minimaul 3y ago
It’s cheaper to do v6 & CGNAT v4 at scale than just CGNAT v4 or buying v4 addresses. Buying v4 addresses isn’t sustainable and drives the prices up long term. CGNAT v4 at scale requires hefty and expensive translation boxes that have to

Half of the big four ISPs in the UK provide IPv6 now (eg BT, Sky). Full dual stack or something like v4 CGNAT + native v6 is practical and works well where available. Big CDNs and content providers typically support v6 - eg Apple does, Netf

The most common use case is where ARM provide fully functional CPU core IP that you can put into your own SoC - in AWS Graviton's case that seems to be the ARM Neoverse line of cores. You can also get architecture licenses where you ca

Quite right - you can't infer performance from pricing. We did some assessments of how well our applications ran on ARM and x86 based AWS instances, and quite simply it costs us less to serve the same quantities of end user traffic usi
