This is about video encoding not about 3D performance…

See what you need to do if you want to refute something I said is actually go through each point and refute it. Not dump a link and declare checkmate . Either do that or go away.

Your point, caller?

Well some are trying to reach the UK, not all. As to why that is, I don't think any of us on HN can confidently state the reason - none of us have surveyed them all and processed the answers. They may be living in poor conditions and

Yeah I was only a couple of years older than you and barely had the money, hence the overclocking :D Tbh it was fun even to be on a forum talking about it and checking benchmarks etc, some guys had very cool watercooling setups that I was

Haha amazing, I did this on my Duron 700 MHz which I overclocked to 900 MHz, and my Athlon 1GHz (AXIA core IYKYK) to 1.4 GHz

I’m fairly certain there have been people making exactly this argument during the various genocides of the past hundred years or so. Might be worth taking a step back, you may find yourself having a Mitchell & Webb “our hats have skulls

Do they not have the same problem as Russia, though? Kick out Netanyahu or Putin and another group of (potentially even more) unhinged psychos take power.

If you can do this accurately for an arbitrary person, you will be the world's most celebrated dietician so I encourage you to go ahead and publish exactly how you're doing this.

You can't really do that though. I mean at a high level, yeah a poor diet and little exercise will almost certainly lead to an adult gaining weight. But it sounds like you're describing the possibility of calculating his expected

So does naval-technology.com think that if they fill up my history with 20+ entries (making it nearly impossible return by hitting "back") I'll just stay on their site forever?

Been using it as long as I remember, I don't recall seeing the issue you described

This isn’t true. I just looked for directions to somewhere in my city that involves an estimated 3 minute walk to the tram stop and a 34 minute ride and it correctly reported 37 minute journey. I already knew this though because it’s walkin

Canada can also be a very friendly place for technology companies - see all the games dev studios that popped up in Montreal

They should get in touch with Elon Musk, I seem to recall he promised to pay the legal fees for anyone fired for their political beliefs...

I mean I’m mostly objecting to dismissing it as just something that happens in “Leninist” countries. No interaction with the story, no attempt to understand it - just the same old “ah that’s what happens in the nasty foreign places we don’t

Some mad hybrid that doesn’t really fit the neat little capitalism-good/communism-bad binary that is very comforting and beloved by tech workers here on HN? The modern world is complex and doesn’t often fit into neat little simple boxe

If you look at modern day Vietnam and say “ah yes, this is a Marxist-Leninist state” then I am sorry but you are very naive or dishonest. Presumably the same literal interpretation isn’t extended to the Democratic People’s Republic of Kor

Enormous raised eyebrow at describing Vietnam as “Leninist”

Honestly I think we’ve all been there at some point - just switching off for a few seconds when we’re stressed or distracted by other things in life. If not at the checkout then somewhere else. But yeah when you’re the other person in this

Shader compilation is well known though, and anyone halfway serious about benchmarking these things (like Digital Foundry) factor this in and control for it

Even if you ignored the turbines themselves, there would still be a "shadow" behind the turbines though I think? Which means you'd have a blind spot every now and then (when the wind is blowing and the turbines are active) wh

I think the point is safely typing the pattern of having variadic functions with a format string argument. The function implementation itself isn’t that interesting, or “pesky” to be honest

This metaphor is getting a bit tortured and depends on me - having stumbled randomly into a few subreddits that are cool - being a statistical anomaly. I dunno, enjoy the site or don’t - no skin of my nose either way - but your experience i

I never had a great deal of love for reddit but "the entire place is a barren content wasteland" is a pretty sweeping generalisation that you cannot possibly be in a position to make. I only hang out on a couple of subs and they&#
