I was recently reviewing a CK package for Debian. My test build crashed due to OOM using -j32 on a 64GB workstation, so I tried with -j1 to be safe. That completed successfully after 190 hours! I think I may need to reduce the number of arc

I don't think anon is correct, but I can understand how they'd come to their conclusions. I certainly didn't choose AMD to maximize my pay, though it's always been a comfortable salary. With regards to performance, there

While I had been describing the provincial rules, what you're describing is how it works in my particular city. They passed a municipal bylaw that makes all school zones and playground zones active every day from 7am to 9pm. I was stro

The llama.cpp package on Debian and Ubuntu is also rather clever in that it's built for x86-64-v1, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, and x86-64-v4. It benefits quite dramatically from using the newest instructions, but the library doesn't hav

Yes, that's how it works in Alberta. It's particularly confusing because not all schools have the same academic calendar (e.g., most schools have a summer break, but a few have summer classes). Unlike the sibling comment, there ar

I don't remember exactly, but I suspect that the introduction and then disappearance was worse than not introducing it at all until we could do it consistently. It was probably something like six weeks between giving up on peanut butte

One of the difficult parts of this advice for me was that my daughter wasn't eating food at the time when we were supposed to introduce it. In those cases, you're supposed to add peanut butter to the milk, which we did a few times

> What drives EV resale value is the health of the battery, which is influenced more by recharge cycles and straight up passage of time. The resale value drops much faster than the battery health. Hyundai has been tracking the degregatio

I have an air conditioner and I have solar panels. The air conditioner is not merely twice as loud. My air conditioner is 70 dbA and the solar panels are certainly below 30 dbA because I have never heard them make noise. The difference is m

That is US-specific tax policy, but many international companies are listed on US exchanges and purchased by international investors. As a Canadian, my retirement savings in my TFSA are subject to 15% taxes on dividends and 0% taxes on capi

Plants use sunlight in the summer to make sugar that they store for the winter. Perhaps we could make sugar too? Or methane, ammonia, etc.

If we're judging the state of Fortran in 2025, we should probably be discussing Fortran 2018 or Fortran 2023.

Your comparison is not apples to apples as you would in practice have a seperation of compilation and linking in your non-modules example. The status quo is more like: g++ -c -o hello.o hello.cpp g++ -o hello hello.o ./he

It's a good phone, but think I need to replace the battery on mine. It's getting to the point that I have to recharge a couple times per day.

However, amphetamines such as Adderall were also sometimes prescribed for weight loss. I'm surprised it was done so rarely before Ozempic was a thing. They were quite effective.

Compiler Explorer (godbolt.org) is quite popular. It's not uncommon for anyone working on performance sensitive code to give the compiler output a quick sanity check.

It's terrifying that 96% of all mammalian life on Earth is now human beings and our livestock. We might be able to feed more people, but habitat destruction is already the greatest threat to most wild species. Humans are doing fine, bu

From an efficiency standpoint, we should probably be building grid-scale solar in Alberta and pumped storage in BC. There's more sunshine on the east side of the Rockies. As a resident of Alberta, I pay $0.205/kWh for energy and d
