Cache footprint of the OS shouldn't matter because the system should be otherwise idle and benchmark shouldn't be interacting much with the OS. The OS mostly doesn't run during the benchmark. Assuming you didn't have tho

Of course I want to skip maid service. It is disgusting. They just mopped the room next door, where people are vomiting everywhere, and then they drag that mop around my room. I'll have to disinfect it again, as I do every time the mai

"I feel I am making progress, but it has taken a lot of years." Ouch. You are now more likely to be older than the other person. If he is 32, things look way different if you are 27 or if you are 53. At least you've found an

It's also the fact that you can't get rid of sexism and racism by legislating a requirement for... sexism and racism! You can't get away from being sexist and racist by adding more sexism and racism. On top of that: you keep

We do this by consensus, instinctively choosing whatever is most typical for the powerful, or perhaps a slightly exaggerated version of that. So: doctors, lawyers, politicians, rich people, random TV personalities, CEOs, generals...

I want resource usage confirmation. Limit each site to a megabyte. If it wants more, it can wait until I approve a doubling. Each doubling needs my approval. For example, upon hitting 128 MiB, the site should freeze up until I give the OK f

Within a fixed distance of a given type of tile, the possibilities are not unlimited. Stamp with occasional overlap, and you could get the job done with only a few different stamps.

These are not bots. I've encountered many people complaining that Twitter thought they were a bot. Sometimes that was that, The End. Sometimes there was a demand for "real world" identification, like a phone number, which got

I think that is excessive, but it isn't entirely wrong. I worked at a place with builds that took over 8 hours. We sure would think hard about our code.

Those last two (speaker and clock) yes, but otherwise no. Linus Torvalds really doesn't like using a debugger and he'd rather you didn't use one either. His words: https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/deb

He is taking after Linus Torvalds, who resisted adding a kernel debugger for many years. Linus used console spew, PC speaker beeps, and storing a hash of file/line into the PC's time/date.

Burroughs does not have a modern C compiler. As far as modern C standards go, the Burroughs architecture does not exist. The same is true for the rest of the oddball stuff. It's dead now. Nobody is even trying. There is no longer any r

Signed overflow was made undefined so that it could do whatever the CPU naturally did, not so that the compiler could delete huge chunks of supposedly dead code. In the old days, it thus wasn't truly undefined. It was undefined by the

Not really, though many stores will refuse to sell to you without an NAR certification. You can make your own or just be good friends with the store owner.

The stays were real. They were needed for hurricanes and large crowds. The worst case would be a marching parade, on just one side, during a hurricane.

Hey, fair is fair. Your "important EU company" ate up Freescale and VLSI Technology, both of which were important US companies. We're just taking our stuff back.

I have to wonder if all the blocking might be an intended outcome. You have created something like the Great Firewall of China, except that you outsourced it via a vague law with serious legal danger.

There is no better place to grow apricots. This is a tragedy: people can go anywhere, but you can't do that with plants.

Abraham Lincoln was left in a cabin for 6 months, responsible for his sister, when he was 9 and she was 11. There were some dried berries to eat, and Abraham Lincoln could go hunt with a rifle. The house didn't have power or water. He

No, a normal cost-of-living calculation assumes that you will spend a typical portion of your money on non-local things. For the conversion to be wrong, you first need to show that your personal situation is far from the norm. For example,

This is a reason to read it out loud. Reading difficulties are going undiagnosed because teachers seldom hear students read, especially past the first couple years. Even in the more advanced tracks (ability levels), many students are unable

A couple of those are a bit off. Aside from party crashing outsiders like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, both parties support globalism. Both the Bushes and the Clintons are 100% globalist, along with Romney and Obama and McCain and Gore.

They are not mathematically equivalent. Counterexample: 10 groups, each with 10% of the population, qualifies under your first definition but not under your second definition.

The US didn't have that stuff a century ago either, and the birth rate was higher. You may wish for those things, but they aren't required. Some EU countries have those things, and their birth rates are even lower than the US birt
