The problem with "Read this book on study habits, leave your phone in another room while studying, use timeboxing..." isn't that it's unappealing (and a reasonably smart person should be able to figure out most of these

Well, it doesn't work if the access is so random that everything is guaranteed cache miss. On the other hand, if there's a subset that's accessed more often than rest, it reduces cache pollution from accessing outside the cor

Often you can get pretty good results from just knowing that cache misses are expensive and working from that point: Store together what is accessed together, use linear arrays to help prefetcher, prefetch manually if really needed (it usua

Most importantly, you need product manager that cares about the UI being responsive. As an engineer it's not produce a responsive UI if you have time only for a barely working product.

For the problem at hand it does not really matter if the carbon dioxide in air is from combustion, or put there by wizards who want to destroy America. In my personal opinion it's a huge logical leap to assume that fossil fuel use just

Increased CO2 in outdoor air both increases the baseline CO2 in indoor air and reduces the efficiency of ventilation (because the replacement air has higher CO2 too). The math is in the paper and several other comments, but if you passed hi

If you just need to make a presentation, Slides does the job as well. There might be something that Powerpoint can do and Slides can't (those animated transitions? I'd be happy if Powerpoint removed them too), but in my experience

Yes, those things are true. They do set limits on accurately vinyl record player can reproduce the original signal, but they certainly do not mean that all record players are as bad as this one.

It's almost a semitone off, which means one key on a piano keyboard. People do hear that.

I don't get the reasoning that because the cheapest possible vinyl player sounds horrible, all vinyl players sound horrible. It really goes the other way: vinyl record is a medium that depends on fine mechanics and amplification for ve

I checked the first part linked at bottom, and apparently their version of 60s doesn't have The Beatles. They had The Doors, though, so it's not like they ignore all alternative-ish rock. Just almost all of it.

Ok, I misunderstood that you meant there's something special in Squier that would make it more Fender-like than a G+L or any of the almost-clones that don't have any direct relation to the original manufacturers.

If "essentially the same" means "subcontracted for the company that owns the name and copyright to headstock shape". Original Fenders have already changed so much that the company sells replicas of their old products, an

The interesting thing about those lagers is that many people believe you can't distinguish between them or even that they are the same drink sold under different labels. If that was the case, the scores should have been random but they

Sounds like you have Japan-made Squier. I haven't seen one in person, but they do have a good reputation and probably cost now more than when they were new. The current cheapest Squiers are completely different guitars, and apparently

In a totally different domain, back in the university I participated in a similar experiment with bulk lagers, where we both rated and tried to recognize the beers. It turned out that there was a clear ranking that almost everyone agreed on

I think the quality is still hit or miss. I have a Chinese Epiphone LP Standard from 2017 or so, and it is a fine guitar, but this is after leveling frets and replacing the nut, bridge and pickups. Before that it would not stay in tune, buz

I doubt it's just this, since on my laptop just brew list from warm cache with 102 packages takes about a second, and twice as long if files must be read from SSD. That's a lot of reading and computation for list of 102 packages.

Probably unrelated, but every time I update Homebrew, I get the feeling that there's something that should be O(log N) or O(n) but the implementation takes O(N), O(N^2) or worse. There's no way checking a small list of installed p

This is why many music apps use ASIO drivers that skip Windows audio. ASIO is awful in many ways, but latency is not one of them.
