   Well they don't put anyone's lives at risk so surely that gets them out of say, the bottom 5%?

   The coefficient of performance (efficiency) of an AC at that temperature range would still be well over 1. Probably around 3-4 depending on the unit and refrigerant. [0] ACs are very efficient for the same reason heat pumps are efficient. T

   Interesting that they don't seem to have any kind of dedicated "patch kit" ready to go for stuff like this.

   Doesn't really seem like a fair comparison since it relies on compression for the local storage to be cheaper. Comparing similarly sized EBS volumes + EC2 instance to the local storage instances and it is pretty much the exact same cos

   Interesting. The kubelet seems to use varying negative OOMAdjusts to prioritise killing[0] but if I'm reading the kernel code right anything at -999/-998 would return 1 from the badness function and essentially be equally valid to

   26/15 is the estimated cost per kwh. Really there is a huge variance, especially for pumped storage because because of highly variable capital cost. Capital costs are in the 100s-1000s dollars for kw of pumped storage.[0] [0] http:&#x2

   I wish they would make self attaching electric/battery trolley busses. The main lines on the streets in Vancouver aren't bad but the intersections are such a mess with the trolley lines. You could min-max a system that combined tr

    Considering it is larger than some mini PCs with 1080s in them I'd really hope not.

    Love this. I wonder if there would be a way to add some randomisation to the font without replacing it with generated images.

    I'm happy as the next person to eye roll a lot of the stuff that gets funded but the world is just fundamentally different compared to 2000. The average time an internet user spent online at home was ~3 hours in 2000 and is about 18 no

    Hard to say without knowing what they ran on what. There is a non trivial amount of memory that gets eaten up by the various k8s processes, docker and networking if you are using small nodes. I have a completely empty k8s cluster up right n

    I think 2019-2020 will be super interesting for hardware. Intel, Samsung, Gloflo, TSMC could all have competitive 7/10nm nodes. Unless either Intel or AMD makes some crazy IPC gains they should be fairly competitive with each other and

    Isn't that just a prefetcher win? AVX/SSE lets you do more computational work per cycle but I don't see how it would improve memory bandwidth/access.

    I'm pretty sure each core has its own AVX units for the version they support. AFAIK the only difference between AVX performance (ignoring clock speed) is gold/platinum(5000+) Xeons have 2x512 FMA ports available but everything els

    I wonder what the minimum amount of work you have to do to get GDPR to apply to you. Is it EU citizens only? Or would residency work? I doubt it, but it would be interesting if Estonia's e-residency thing would be enough.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#Performanc... Wikipedia shows 100-250whr/kg for lithium ion. Not familiar enough to know which is right.

    Optimised acceleration/deceleration would probably save more fuel than self driving hardware uses, for city driving at least. At 60mph you'll be using 10-20hp to maintain speed so about a 1-2% loss per 150W chip(well a bit more fo

    Ah nice thanks, must have missed that announcement. Do you know offhand if that works with a webpack toolchain using one of the ts loaders? Haven't been doing much web stuff lately and last version I've used was 2.5.

    No incremental compiler? I thought that was coming in 2.7. Really hope that lands soon. Compile times are my only complaint about TS, otherwise it is so much nicer than writing JS for anything mildly complex.

    Loving the competition in the market. Object Store would be nice. Can't wait to see what happens when NAND/DRAM markets start clearing and there are multiple competitive 7nm nodes.
