The grammar is pretty bad, but good for a presumably non-native english user. Overall, it's a good article, especially when you consider that it's free. Game network code and predictive motion and rollback or input delay-based app

You're looking at data for confirmation of your bias. Sea Ice volume has been pretty steadily decreasing even as the coverage can increase. https://www.polarportal.dk/en/sea-ice-and-icebergs/sea-ice-t... All

64 channels, 2 DIMMs per channel, so I guess half that.

Serving remote desktops to several hundred developers. Maybe a video content server for a netflix or youtube type business. Hosting a large search index? Some kind of scientific computing?

There's a particular song I have in 96/24 .flac that I can easily tell apart from a 192kbps mp3. Much harder with v0. It's specific to the content though, having some really soft background sounds layered on top of an already

There is no value to logging into chrome with a Google account that couldn't be replicated easily with some standalone service. The fact they added google logins to Chrome still bugs me.

That's actually a bad solution. Weapons weren't much less brutal then, mostly just less precise. You'd have people accidentally shooting bystanders in armed conflicts.

I get that feeling sometimes. I have wondered what could have came of the internet if the titans of software weren't gobbling up talent and having them work on destroying privacy for the last 20 years or so. The whole surveillance econ

It represents a discrepancy between our models and observations of the universe, which imply there is a lot of unaccounted-for non-interactive mass out there. Dark matter generally is less a theory and more a question: Where is all this mas

To answer your (rhetorical) question, it is common to file patents for moat-building purposes, i.e. to prevent competition. This is one reason lots of obvious and frivolous patents are filed, and why some companies have cultures that encour

Yes, without an n-key rollover keyboard you run into situations where perhaps running diagonally, plus reloading or throwing a grenade won't register the last button press. (E.g. Shift + W + D + R/G) It's kind of infuriating

Nope, not even close. Mainly just the ones with clicky (e.g. mx-blue, less so mx-brown) switches. It's an option but not a requirement, and honestly not that common for gaming-oriented ones, which typically have linear non-clicky switc

In fact, assuming that penguins 'penguipomorphize' is a way of anthropomorphizing them. They might, though.

I'm unsure what RGB or a keyboard being mechanical has to do with it being USB-A, or what the relevance is, but yes, there are many USB-A peripherals available.

There is basic non-identifying logging that is almost entirely necessary to operate a website. I assume you're okay with that much?

There is plenty going on in global news apart from US elections to be concerned about. Even apart from the wars, I think we've been acting insane for a few decades at least w.r.t. emissions and pollution. One person has intelligence, m

It's not really a Yes Track if it's simply absent. The user hasn't requested to be tracked. I'm not even sure with it set to 0 that you can assume that intent. I guess it would depend on the browsers behavior, but as you

No, what I mean is, 285k beats the 9800x3d at multiprocessing stuff & productivity tasks, but loses to 9950x. It beats the 9950x at gaming but loses to the 9800x3d. It performs slightly worse than 14900k at gaming and some other tasks,

I've seen a lot of what I would call hatred. "Intel has failed!" "285k is junk!" and so on. Just a bit more harsh and sensational than I think they should be, as opposed to giving a balanced perspective. Like I said

Intels 12000-14000 chips were ironically only having problems when cooled well, because before the latest microcode they would ramp up the voltage too much with sufficient cooling. When run ragged at high temps they were reliable even befor

The hatred towards intels 28x cpus from reviewers seems overblown to me. They are still pretty good chips that beat AMDs single chiplet offerings in cinebench, with decent efficiency. They're kind of just 2nd best at everything, whethe

The NPR article does talk about some directly observable effects like people having trouble breathing and rashes, or 'brain fog', though I suppose that's not all conclusively casually linked. Still, it's something worth
