I didn't realize how far off Go's performance was from C/CPP, I have a feeling a lot of it is because of the 25+ years of optimization the c/CPP compilers have gotten.

I didn't realize Go was so far behind C in terms of performance. Like REALLY behind, this surprises me a lot actually. Thanks for showing me that awesome benchmark page :D

It's certainly something I'd be scared of too. It's honestly really brave of them to approach it this way, but I do enjoy watching them work :D

I had a similar comment. We're increasingly surrounded by microphones/cameras, some of which are embedded in IOT or other appliances. Given the NSA's track record, the risk of devices getting hacked, etc. I've become rat

I have a very similar list to yours. I'm also a datahoarder though, so I also have the reverse characteristics, i.e. if I don't have a copy then assume there are no copies left for me to ever access (assume adversaries have a back

Awesome thanks for the data! > 58°C feels really hot when you touch the SoC. This obviously depends on the heat conductivity of the surface, but from my experience with my 3D printer, ~55C/60C is about the cutoff for pain tolerance

I don't mean to be rude, but the rest of my comment explains why. If there's something about it that's confusing I'd love to clarify it.

I concede that I mostly work on web applications that don't require that level of performance. You're certainly right, there IS a performance difference, and in high-computing workloads, such as the one this parser is used for. Fr

Right? This is EXACTLY what I want to see when there's a service disruption. A live, in-depth view of who is doing what, any new leads on the issue, multiple teams chiming in with various diagnostic stats, honestly it's really awe

I don't have a pi 4 to play with, but is there any chance you could try one of the mini heatsinks that just adhere onto the cpu, without any active cooling? I'm just curious to see if that helps much, they're pretty cheap and

Accessing any computer system without authorization is that part that is generally illegal, "Hacking" itself isn't illegal, and while accessing your bosses computer while it's unlocked isn't "hacking" it&#

I don't think they would need to? Cellebrite sells law enforcement an on-premise method to unlock devices. At that point it's no longer Cellebrite unlocking the phones, it's Law enforcement who is unlocking the devices. Since

by penagwin 7y ago
It's only illegal to access a device without authorization, and they only sell to law enforcement (who presumably have a warrant or whatnot, and thus authorization) so Cellebrite themselves isn't accessing anybodies systems.

by penagwin 7y ago
My understanding (under US law) is that accessing computer systems without authorization is illegal. However, you can totally make tools to hack your own stuff. And this company only advertises their unlocking abilities to law enforcement s

Depending on how you define it, I don't think Huawei is technically "state-owned", but because "communism" technically all business are owned by the PRC? But it's not formally apart of the PRC. Do I understand

Interesting... It's like time is a limited resource. You just answered your question as to why people use CUDA. All the popular frameworks run on CUDA, and from what I hear openCL sucks to use.

Snipped from another comment I made: With 200% scaling you now only have the screen real-estate of a 1080p screen. At 4k I can have 4x 1080p windows open and visible at the same time. At 1080p at most I can have two windows open side by sid

Yes but with 200% scaling you now only have the screen real-estate of a 1080p screen. At 4k I can have 4x 1080p windows open and visible at the same time. At 1080p at most I can have two windows open side by side. Some programs will fit int

If you have a high-res, large monitor, you want to arrange your windows like a grid. You don't want to actually use Google Chrome at full 4k with no scaling across the entire screen.

by penagwin 7y ago
I want "No scaling" So I can have up to 4 1080p windows, or even more all visible at once. If I scale it to 1440p, then I lose that real estate. The problem is that at screen sizes less than 30" it's basically impossible

4k at 21 inches? I'm using a 4k screen at I think 31" and I have to scale everything to read the screen. My dream is a 43" 4k monitor with no scaling. But 1440p at 21" I think would be great. Personally I only use 1080p

This is a good tip thanks! I'm sensitive to loud noises and some public bathrooms have really, really, really loud and honestly just flat out aggressive toilets.

Why would you be cautious? Not saying there's no downsides, but if anything I consider it to be an "upside" that the device is simpler. Now I don't need to worry about linux, or making sure it's a read only filesyst

We actually have a system in place to do exactly this. The EPA + Taxes (of various kinds) are how companies/individuals pay for environmental damage, and it's also how companies/individuals pay to protect the environment. Cle
