Even ignoring memory safety, C allows a lot of footgunning. I've found another source of grief to be weak typing and operators priority. I was very surprised to find bugs in the Linux kernel examples.

The 7600x and 7700x have already been announced, and they're rated 105W. The 5x00 lineup has a few models with lower clock (5500, 5600, 5700), but they consume as much as their higher clocked counterparts (5600x, 5700x). The hope is fo

It looks great, although I was a bit disappointed - I was really looking forward 24 cores :)

They did that with the 5800X3D; the results were overall positive, although uneven. The cost was significant though - around 100$ more than the 5800X (which was $350).

Because Intel hasn't been able to keep the edge on architecture for a long time, so they started a race to the bottom, abusing the TDP. Unfortunately, the market seems not to care much, so I "can't blame them" (well, I

The majority is currently for a court order, which doesn't indicate a slippery slope. If they wanted to be shady, they wouldn't have made a poll at all, which also implies the expectation of discussion around the topic.

That's not a rigorous test; it actually seems very sketchy. In the last game, the performance is better before the Denuvo removal, which doesn't make much sense. In another game, they're testing the manual run of a game, as t

Rust is overkill for projects that don't need very high scale, also because of the paradigm shift of the frameworks. Golang is a more conventional choice, for the opposite reason. Crystal is not ready for large scale deployment, which

If one buys a home for 100k, then the prices drop 50%, they can sell, say, for 50k, and buy a new home for 50k. Considering the price drop, the new home will be equal, in value, to the one they originally bought for 100k. This does not incl

Compared with the Phoronix Suite, on Linux, just today: https://www.phoronix.com/review/apple-m2-linux/15 . Surprising results. Definitely not in the "very far" range.

True, but generally (generally) speaking, the market changes affect both ways; if the value of the home to be sold dropped, it will also drop the price of the home to be purchased.
