I heard a story/statement once, that every time a bunch of smart people got together to think about solving the world problems, they all pretty much came up with the same solution: eugenics and birth control. Both of these are controve

So is "stop having more than 2 children". Another one is "stop buying things you don't really need". But yeah, good luck convincing people to get behind that.

The main arguments are that a circle is defined by its radius, not its diameter, and that in most cases when you reference Pi in mathematics/engineering you actually use 2Pi. From the horse's mouth: https://www.youtube.

Agreed. 90% of stuff I don't know off the top of my head I do like this: 1) connect to a server/repository which already uses that in some form 2) copy/paste relevant parts. 3) add new parts by using existing parts as a refer

"Any other media publication" did not publish an almost identical sensationalist story a few months back, which turned out to be unsubstantiated crap. Had any website other than bloomberg published this, I might have read past the

Kerbal Space Program on Steam is not DRM-ed. I can launch it without Steam running, and it doesn't automatically launch Steam client or anything, the game just starts up.

A friend of mine started playing around with Hercules and got a job with an IBM partner company. He just took a new job now at 2.5x the money I'm making, and I make good money :) The companies who do mainframe gigs know the market is s

Mainframe emulator: http://www.hercules-390.org/ Yeah, it's kind of hard to get into the mainframe business. Kind of like getting into piloting a passenger jet. You can't pilot a passenger jet without a few hundre

I don't really believe that software developers intentionally write bloated code. It's just that most dev shops only fix performance issues when they become apparent on current-gen hardware. As hardware gets better and better, the

I had a sort-of related experience with PayPal where the machine said "No." I've been using it for at least 10 years at that point. What I did was try to pay for some cheap VPS hosting in Italy. The transaction was denied. I

Energy efficiency kind of falls under the "performance" category. Just not raw MIPS performance but "performance per watt". What I wanted to say is that the major selling point of RISC-V would be its open-ness rather tha

Haproxy would usually be on the same network as your www servers so even without http2 the response time for the backend requests will be tiny compared to the client <-> haproxy roundtrip time. The promise of http2 is to lower latency

I don't know about dynamic frontends but regarding your second question, I can confirm that HAProxy has session persistence capabilites. Look up "stick" functions in HAProxy docs. You can even persist TCP connections.

This would be a bit different. Itanium, Sparc, Crusoe, ARM... all these CPUs were offering is the promise of better performance in some aspect. Nobody expects RISC-V to beat i7 or Ryzen in any benchmarks. IMO its purpose is to be the in har

I am surprised at how many people can't see (or mind) the obvious difference in speed. Here's a test: Create a fresh clean profile for both FF56 (or earlier) and chrome without any extensions. Then, create/import a bookmark f

YES! Wearing yourself out does wonders for your sleep. I'd bet that 99% of people with sleeping problems have sitting jobs. Only exhausting your brain without exhausting your body will just make you weary without making you feel sleepy. You
