This was true several decades ago, but now about 1/3 of it used to manufacture ethanol due to the US transition to gasoline having 10% ethanol content. It is still very much true that far more of it goes to animal feed than food for hu

There is something more to it: Slack is really popular and MS really wanted it on the store so they let them ignore the rule.

The ROCKPro64 is not super fast, but it is a pretty big step up from the Pi. 2 big cores and 4 little cores with 4GB RAM for $80. ~2800 geekbench multicore, Pi 3 is ~1400. https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro64-4gb-single

This is a study of a new application of a drug that has already had very extensive trials in both humans and several species of animals that have demonstrated it to be safe (it's FDA approved for human use). I think you will find peopl

Current Macs with Bootcamp are already basically useless for running Linux. It is not technically impossible to run but might as well be. The T2 SSD controller actively prevents access by any OS that is not either MacOS or Windows, even wit

It's definitely that to an extent, but also the low quality songs were less likely to get released in the first place back then because the barrier to entry in the music industry was a lot higher. There were just as many people making

Ads only make up ~10% of Spotify's revenue. If they start putting ads on the paid version everyone will just leave for one of the competing ad-free services (Amazon, Apple, Google). I'm sure you're right about the tracking th

The GPD MicroPC actually exists and is not too far off of this thing in terms of ports, sadly it lacks the trackpoint. Especially sad since GPD has already released a system with a trackpoint.

How many movies do you have? A 5TB hard drive is slightly over $100 and will hold a minimum of 100 Blu-ray rips, assuming they use the entire disk capacity and you don't reencode them to something smaller.

The NYT article was written in 1970. However it is an OCRed article and has no currency symbol in it so it might be in Deutschmarks rather than dollars.

ARM abandoned their JVM bytecode execution tech a decade ago because JIT compilers became faster than it. So the same would probably be true with WASM.

For a lot of people the choice is between heating with gas and heating with electricity produced by burning gas- obviously using the gas directly for heat is much more efficient in this case because you are skipping the generation and trans

I just Googled "ryzen temperature monitoring linux". I've had a Ryzen 1700 since they first came out so I was following the Linux support for that fairly closely at the time, mostly by browsing Phoronix fairly frequently. Tha

The 12" Chromebook models (Pixel Slate, Pixelbook, Samsung Chromebook Pro) are not any larger than the 11" MBA. They're narrower and slightly taller. The MBA just has enormous bezels and also a different aspect ratio.

Interesting, 4.15 had a patch specifically for Coffee Lake thermal support. Maybe it was specific to the mobile chips. http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1711.2/00864.html

Temperature monitoring for the first gen Ryzen chips has been in the kernel for about a year. The patch for second gen is there but narrowly missed the 5.0 release window, so it should land in the first release after 5.0. Intel is a bit fas

That's the joke, I imagine. RPN is Forth-like in that they're both stack based. Their 28/48/49/50G line shipped with RPL(Reverse Polish Lisp) which was heavily inspired by both Forth and Lisp. Very weird language bu

It'll accelerate 2D graphics that use OpenGL. GIMP and emacs don't use hardware acceleration in the first place. Krita uses OpenGL to draw the canvas so it will get accelerated.

50% is extremely optimistic between HEIF and a good JPEG encoder (mozjpeg/guetzli). Guetzli usually produces very slightly better results than mozjpeg but is several hundred times slower. The 20-40% comparision is vs libjpeg.
