In any event, it possibly cannot be Intel's fault if Apple makes the hardware decision.

So if the Macbook 2018 suddenly uses intel 80386, slow FP operations are also Intel's fault?

Good ol' i5-2500k Sandy Bridge keeps going on strong. I expect it to last yet another 5 years. "Thanks" to intel monopoly the desktop has been in a good place (if a tad expensive) for a long time now.

This site is just misnamed, is all. "Startup news" would be more apt.

Also a huge problem is that you get this living support based on your income, and it has no proper upper bounds. One could receive hundreds if not a thousand euro in extra support if they chose to live in a costly neighborhood (namely, cent

I wonder why the participants couldn't be chosen from the whole working-age pool. Unless, the final system is not meant for working people at all, going against everything the universal welfare meant to solve. Doesn't surprise me

I really dislike the increasingly used term "ethics" and "ethically". Particularly ethics isn't something that's universally set in stone, it's a matter of individual's philosophies (ie preferences) b

I don't get why players don't do that -- rewind a second or 10, especially when listening to podcasts or audiobooks. When you resume listening, you have no context at all!

Gary has quite a bit of collectivist ideals, to the point he's basically a democrat in the books of many, including myself. It is perhaps this "betrayal" of the party ideals that makes him unfavorable. It's true also tha

Maybe because I grew up reading HHGTTG I've always thought that of course a freely editable internet encyclopedia should be as inclusive as possible. No, I won't buy the deletionist argument. Personally, I wouldn't mind if pe

...or if they do target something retro, maybe Netscape Navigator or similar icon. IE6 is maybe infamous, not very nostalgic in any way.

J Nielsen would disagree with you. A subsecond operation could very well operate without visual feedback and only after that start showing the progress. Does finder have a way to show messages in status bar or some such? For quick ops it wo

The marketplace works out very poorly if one doesn't have Amazon in their country. The info about shipping abroad is very much buried into whatever, and Amazon IIRC mandates that purchases can't be combined: if I buy two $0.01 boo

As a customer I hate these 2FA codes and online bank confirmations, common in the EU. I don't want to bring my bank passwords and whatnot with me if I want to make an online purchase with my CC!

Bethesda sure fucked something up with Fallout 4, but let's not go there. Instead I thank you for encouraging to get back to the 1 & 2. I've bought the games off of GoG -- in several occasions mind you -- but never really got

Really nice work. I never quite adjusted to these metal plate mounted keyboards (PCB mounted are much more pleasant) and I wonder if wood do the trick.

I noticed the same, Obama and Hillary both started to act very sportsmanlike right after the results. As is appropriate. It's the media and other factors that seem to hold on to a distant dream they once had.

The whole effort -- in good or bad faith -- was poisoned with the gender politics, especially with the toxic variation of feminism.

Haven't had complaints so far. Don't use it really either. I have mapped Escape to Caps lock.

To my understanding the unicode standard encodes an ASCII transliteration of an Unicode symbol to itself, but what about typographical similances? Wouldn't that be a hard problem? Perhaps there are two unicode characters that look exac

I haven't used slack, but I think both are doing the best practices around there: Chrome copies the punycoded URL to clipboard, Slack will decode pasted punycode-URLs into a nicer presentation.
