They might all be standard sizes. I'm thinking Mini-STX, Nano-ITX, or Pico-ITX. Its just those smaller form factors aren't very common.

A Ryzen "7" series APU with the same 4 core / 8 thread setup as the 2400G but with double the CUs (so 22 CU) and a big beefy L4 buffer like Intel uses in their high end GPUs to be able to use the extra gpu horsepower would be

Rust does this too. Since docs are generated from sources every docs page has a [src] button that has the context the docs were generated from, which means the function source. Super easy and intuitive to switch between the two. Its good th

They have a reason to buy theier stuff over Pixel phones, its called their hardware. The Pixel 2 compared to an S8 / Note 8 hardware wise is a nonstarter - the Pixel is a larger, clumsier, slower phone with a worse camera and more wast

Specifically the youtube experience you describe is a problem in the youtube app itself, not in base Android. Youtube for some contrived reason decided to make it so that Youtube doesn't advertise itself as an audio player until its pl

This guy had a problem, slow fps in a game, knew the generalized view of how Wine worked, and used the tools they knew of to try to fix the problem. I've never written a line of DX, GL, etc but I know what command buffers / driver

Nobody mentioned that the Rust std has a doubly linked list in it? [1] It uses shared pointers to reference other nodes in the sequence. [1] https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/linked_list.rs.html#46-5...

It costs $2.50 to have your transaction go through in the next 10 minutes. It costs 50c to have it go through in the next HOUR. Bitcoins fee structure is wholly antithetical to its use as currency but TPTB in the mining ecosystem are making

I think it comes down to psychology more than anything, albeit I'm not a psychologist. Games are designed for immersion. When you play the best kinds of video games that can get you really invested in them most people can express the

You forge friendship through common struggle. You need to offer one another something or you just introduce yourselves and let one another drift off in opposite directions without any bond forged. You form your first friendships really ea

So why have hard drives stalled out for the last 3 years? An 850 evo is still the "premier" 2.5” drive and still goes on sale for the same lows it did years ago - the best deals are around $240/TB. The new nvme drives are a m

This is why the post-recession employment recovery in the US is complete fabrication. The jobs lost in 2008 were careers, the jobs that replaced them were gig work like Uber. The employment figures today discount the tens of millions of NEE

To be fair, the stock market is bullshit. Its legalized professional gambling where some participants have way more information than others. The fact the vast majority of business exists to try to "win" the stock market game than

Just look at patreon. It is fairly unreasonable to expect even your fans to spend more than $1 a month on you, so if you want a reasonable income (and I'd consider reasonable to be peak happiness if you want success in life) than you w

We now live in a world where you can have two products side by side, where one has any of "Crypto" "Block" Coin" or "Chain" in their name or description and the other does not, where both products do the e

Thinking about it if anything other services are finally catching up. I've ordered as much stuff in the last 2 months from walmart and best buy as I have from Amazon despite being a prime member. There isn't really as much of a ne

The broader ecosystem doesn't seem to think so. All kinds of software like Atom, VSCode, the desktop Slack client, Discord, etc are all just Electron or React apps wrapped in native installers and launchers.

This is why I go out of my way to only buy phones that are going to be very well supported by LineageOS for a long time. You can go Google-less on such devices if you want. The only real limitation is that you cannot do anything about the s

Seriously, companies have had "buy X coins for $Y" since, well, forever. But the most blatant one is arcades. Making the tokens digital and on a decentralized trustless ledger? for some reason is not innovative at all, and I highl

Because the competitors are like comparing Sonic to Comcast. One operates in one state between two cities and has a hundred thousand customers. The other is a national monopoly that abuses over a hundred million people. Sonic can be competi

Capitalism is absolutely supposed to minimize costs, that is how competition works. It is more a consequence of economic reality than a function of capitalism that massive vertical integration and economies of scale can let market-spanning

Students should feel absolutely no guilt in pirating textbooks. The whole industry is a racket, designed to exploit kids in a situtation where they have no choice. I did things the "normal" way my first year of college back in the

I'm not convinced that even with finite free rides public transit users would make rush hour worse. The people taking the tube at rush hour are usually doing it where they cannot travel at an alternate, less congested time. Those peopl

It is in the interests of media companies to produce better codecs to drive the efficiency and effectiveness of their primary revenue stream. I mean, look at Netflix - they have a huge driven reason to invest in codec development. The fact

Heres a question - is there any evidence we need patents to protect us? Are they actually protecting us? And if so, are the costs (abuse of patents by trolls and global corps) worth the price paid? Remember that patents were originally ju

The existence of patents also was meant to create an industry for selling ideas rather than physical goods. How often are people really inventing novel things, patenting them, and then licensing them out to other parties or selling the righ

A megabyte saved is still a megabyte saved. An mp3 sourced from a FLAC at 320kbps is ususally indistinguishable from 128kbps Opus to me, but I can often tell the difference between that and a 128kbps mp3. I encode all my music in 128kbps Op

Ah yes, the sweet taste of abusing state institutions to hold back scientific progress. First it was efficient video and audio compression, now it will be life saving treatment. Ain't the world such a better place for MPEG-LA existing.
