Not really. All he's shown is a behavior (high CPU) and is equating it with the latitude he's at. When he turns off Night Shift, the daemon process for the feature stops consuming as much CPU, from what I gathered. Nowhere does he

There is no technical limitation why it is impossible in C, however the raw details of how C is implemented make it entirely impractical. A super generalized description of a C function might check if a register contains a positive value. I

Think of it this way: Two people are playing an online game, and one gets mad at the other. He or she then sends a link to an image or something else to the player they are mad at, effectively siphoning off their IP address. By using this f

How? The CFPB wasn't perfect, but like the ACA, many think that if legislation is not perfect, it should not be enacted. That's the entire basis of the Hastert rule, if the majority party isn't able to "secure" a ma

While I essentially agree, the attitude that millions of living creatures are raised and killed in industry so what does it matter that one cat is stressed doesn't help anyone. Disregarding food waste, farm animals are raised for food
