I've seen their repo, it's pretty lame. CoreMark is still difficult for compilers to optimize away so I think it's better than DMIPS.

Excellent analysis! Do you have CoreMark scores instead of DMIPS?

Bowflex is still alive and well, they haven't gone anywhere. There is a HUGE market for this stuff, even gym subscriptions, that never, ever get used. I was friends with a Crossfit licensee and he said only 50% of people that paid actu

It depends on the package. Some folks want the newest and brew might update faster than Debian, e.g., Cmake was at 3.10 on Ubuntu for the longest time but Brew had it at 3.15. Me personally, I've run into waaaaaaaaay too many issues tr

"-m" can be used by automatiom. One of our teams' integrations uses this when automated commits are performed in response to certain actions. E.g., they trigger webpacker builds automatically which are then committed in respo

I've been using this since it was launched and I constantly forget that I need to keep the browser tab open for PIP to work. Doh. Would be cool if the PiP window was another instance of the native window with its zero-decor.

There really aren't any serious competitors. AMD and Intel have GPU offerings, but they are too busy fighting for laptop, server, desktop market. Intel's graphics IP is just a value-add for chipsets to keep competitors out of the

I've been working with Mastodon, but it is REALLY hard to get people to use it because it is too small. I'm trying to get friends to join, but the response to me has been: "Too much effort, just use Facebook, dork." I do

Looks fantastic! Well done! Why didn't you go full brass on the decatrons, instead of mixing stainless and copper? Same goes for the counter box: you only wrapped 2 sides when you pro'lly could have wrapped the whole thing in bras

I really missed out by not asking for help my first year as an undergrad. With very few exceptions (maybe 2 out of 20?), every single professor was excited to explain things 1:1. My current partner is a professor and feels delighted when st

Wow, that's wickedly cynical. I don't know how I would have learned how to become an RF engineer if it weren't for a four year BSEE that focused heavily on DiffEq, Complex Math, Fields & Waves, and Discrete Systems... and

There is a very well-known function in YouTube that allows you to link to the exact time of interest. For example, simply suffix the query-string "?t=10m32s" to the URL to skip to 10:32. Odd that there doesn't seem to be enou

Good for you! You win the tomato grower prize! The story is about an obsession that is also a backstory for a larger narrative about consumerism. If that doesn't interest you, fine, just admit it. You clearly didn't read the book,

Interesting, I didn't know that. I have very little historical knowledge pre-1990 about mainframes, and by the time I started working in the field the term "server" replaced "mainframe" exclusively. In fact, during

This is also a great of example of how really smart people with deep knowledge in one domain can totally fail real-world skills. Anyone who cooks a lot has a gut feel for how different foods increase in volume when baked (breads, like popov

True: first-floor retail is as old as multi-story buildings. What is different about it now is the large number of stores that are accessible only from inside a single building. I was in Portland last fall and there were these buildings on

This is such a great idea. In Vietnam I stayed in a few AirBNB's that were 20 floor buildings: the bottom floor was grocery, gym, bank, restaurants, and the top floors were all residential, with pools on the very top floor of one swank
