In a Country that largely believes virgin birth and one very specific zombie. One crazy belief is not sign of universal insanity. Perhaps though it is a sign of susceptibility, which is what we seem to be talking about.

I would have said this if you hadn't, thank you. To continue with the pit that is Dell BS, why is the "Developer Edition" of this stuck at 4GB of RAM when one of the other tablet-like versions had 8gb. My current machine has

I know how to change the oil in my car on my own, but I don't because it is more efficient to pay an expert to do it. I think the desktop situation is much the same. I agree with you that I do not see that as a large market, but perhap

So many people here are suggesting the XPS 13, but there is so much Dell BS to put up with. There are many configurations and many redundant options, and silly coupons that work on some models and not others. The buying options are entirely

This sounds plausible to me. Here in Omaha, when I lived in an apartment and there were 30+ APs visible I had to be careful to pick the frequency based on what worked and what didn't, and when I did get it to be reliable I had short ra

You take a very dishonest stance on the charges against microsoft. They actively broke other people's software (Dr DOS) and made APIs that that only they could use which provided enormous, abusable and well abused competitive advantage

> The electorate are all grown-ups that had access to the same information that I do I am not sure I have ever heard such trust in the electorate. Isn't an uninformed electorate a huge problem in most western democracies?

I think I see where you are coming from and I disagree. I don't think that whether or not the memory is "reclaimable" is an important detail. When going to fix a performance issue or otherwise reduce memory usage the process

"Just for fun" is a great reason. I was unaware of the non-web goals of WebAssembly, Thank you.

I see what it is and I think I understand what it does, at least as far as the high level description goes. I am re-working some C++ code to work when built with emscripten as asm.js and I have a passing familiarity with web assembly. But w

I agree with what you say until you imply skepticism is bad, or that skepticism is at odds with appreciation. I can appreciate and be thankful for research even if I don't trust it or have further questions.

For those who think this is sarcasm, the last update to the nVidia drivers fixed most of my issues on Ubuntu. I only have a 980 and not doing machine learning professionally, but this thing handles any game I throw at it.

Is there anything Canada isn't best at? I once heard a (bad) joke. If you are in Canada and hold the door for a group of 5 people you can expect 7 "thank you"s. Well that's just a joke I thought, there is no way people a

If RAM lookups only cost 2 cycles they would beat L2 and L3 cache. The real problem is the speed of the RAM, not the distance, for now. When RAM gets a request it can take many cycles to respond, sometimes as many as 50 or 60 before the fir

I would argue that having the designer put the "heart and soul" into a game is possible, but not ideal. When an artist or developer is also a/the designer they can make changes and decisions more smoothly to create certain ef

It hard to take a hardline stance on something with so much give and take. XML is great because there are plenty of fast parsers for it with bindings in pretty every programming. It can be modified with nothing more than a text editor, by s

To be fair people completely devoid of empathy often don't know why causing suffering is wrong. Until it happens to them at least.

Even from that perspective the US still doesn't use chemical weapons on people. The only use of weapons of mass destruction by the US was in WWII, and nukes weren't consider off limits yet. Since then we helped to get them banned

I see you have already been downvoted heavily. But I feel that despite being completely wrong you were attempting a real rebuttal, with real thought and content. Companies colluding to fix wages - This couldn't exist without the compa
