This is great work, but I feel like the wrong thing triggered the alert. The temperature spike should have been the first alert. The throttling should have been the second alert. The high error count should have been third. If you're t

Eve Online has a separate server for mainland China than for the rest of the world. Presumably it's subject to government monitoring. Does WoW have China hosted servers?

This is absolutely true. Pro tip. If you're buying a car with cash, decline to state how you're paying for it until you have already negotiated the price and gotten it in writing. They will ask. Tell them you'll work out fina

It is fundamentally different than YUV (PAL)/YIQ (NTSC). In those systems, the IQ/UV regions are monotonic. In the Jaguar color space, axes have different meanings depending on which quadrant you're in. In the (-1,-1),(0,0),(

Superdeterminism requires a ludicrous amount of complexity. It's not a simpler theory, it's a vastly, vastly more complex one. It implies that the universe is fine tuned to such a degree that everyone who's ever done an exper

You can't. Not just the way it's arbitrarily hard from an engineering perspective to design an experiment to disprove string theory. It is theoretically impossible, the way it's impossible to distinguish between Copenhagen an

The fatality rate, and the rate at which people need intensive care, is 20-40 times that of the flu. If the fatality rate is 3%, and it affects half the US, that's 5 million dead from the disease alone. If it affects half the world, th

It produces faster binaries than clang, sometimes significantly so. ICC produces faster binaries than GCC, but ICC is expensive and GCC is free. MSVC is garbage.

Sun and Google shook hands and decided Java was a super awesome standard that everyone should be able to adopt for free. Yay! Sure, Sun sold Java (and the farm) to Oracle, but what if IBM sold SQL to Google? Do the same takesie-backsies app

If you want to deprive someone of their access to phosphorus, you need to deprive them of either their access to urine, or their ability to boil liquid. I don't know what that endgame looks like, but I'm not a fan of it.

This is nice, but it's not $59 nicer than Inconsolata. Expensive proprietary fonts are for graphic designers where the right font can pay for itself. It doesn't make sense for developers where Inconsolata is free everywhere, and M

It inflected early in China because of the lockdown. People are hardly allowed to leave their house. Not even for work unless you're essential personnel. The US is not prepared for those methods. Not culturally or legally. For better o

The seller purported to be selling a service/product that was not provided. In the US, the terms of service, policy, EULA, whatever, carries very, very little weight compared to the fraud committed by the seller. If you sell someone

The thing that stopped the spread of coronavirus in Hubei after ~50k infections is the lockdown. The lockdowns began January 22-23rd, affecting about 59m people. Nobody is leaving their homes except a few essential personnel, to include med

AMD is competitive in perf/core now. Intel has been largely stagnant since Skylake, while AMD has been improving dramatically, starting with Zen in 2017. That being said, your organization's problem isn't AMD vs Intel, your p

I have a 3700x desktop and have no issues with it. I have a $200 AMD APU netbook and it's fine. Slow, but I got the performance I paid for.

It boggles my mind how Teams can be this terrible. How?? How did they fuck it up this badly? It's the only program I've ever used ever where I have difficulty finding the options menu. I still have trouble finding it. Like it&

It depends on the codebase and the person I suppose. In my personal projects, I prefer greenfield programming, because I can write code embracing modern C++ features that ensure correctness by construction. At work I'm saddled with C#&

Perfect is the enemy of good. The fact that it's intractable doesn't mean you shouldn't try to find a reasonable local optimum. For instance, if I have five minutes to code a traveling salesman implementation, I'll proba

They don't have to have an enormous effect on an individual to have a disproportionate effect on a population. If a virus has a reproduction number of 4, and a mask prevents 1/4 infections, ten generations of the virus will infect

Yes, the US is severely undercounting. There are a few reasons for this, none of which are acceptable. 1. The initial guidelines for test kit requirements were needlessly strict. They sought to create tests which would not test positive for

This is incredible. It's impressive enough to draw a single, static, flat shaded unlit triangle at 1k fps. It wasn't that long ago that this wasn't possible. I can't imagine how much yak shaving went into this. There are
