Filesystem compression is a completely different animal than this. It has to deal with your ability to modify the file at any time. It doesn't compress the whole file together, it does it in blocks. When you launch a binary (and the sy

> If the 8GHz core existed then you'd still be able to get 3 8GHz cores. Well no. Right now you can get ~5GHz cores and they draw close to 300 watts per core , which is why they can't run all cores at 5GHz on threaded programs

I think the flaw in your question is the assumption that a social network needs a business model. It's like asking what the business model is for SMTP. It shouldn't be under the control of a single entity so it shouldn't need

What would really be interesting is a library that uses the browser for only the UI, and is otherwise basically language-independent. So like Qt or GTK except let the browser do all the gnarly platform-specific parts. Then the UI is compile

That's what I'm saying. It's important but hard to use to differentiate. Everybody says their voltage regulation is high quality. Customers don't know which one is actually better and choose the one with the best price.

It's not that the chipsets are bad. The chipsets are fine. But that used to be how motherboards differentiated themselves. When the standard was two USB ports, one company would offer six. Not all boards had audio support and of the on

SMR drives shouldn't be that slow. They're slower than PMR drives but it shouldn't be by so much that individual writes are taking tens of seconds. What's probably happening is one of two things. Either the cache gets

This seems like a different problem than people are making it out to be. SMR drives have slow random writes and paper over it with caching, until the cache gets full. Then in theory what should happen is that the actual write speed of the d

You should just treat them as two different email addresses. On some providers this is in fact what they are, and there is no real point in doing otherwise because anybody who wants to create multiple accounts in that way could just create

A good alternative to this is to run Linux and use Windows in a VM if necessary. Having to use a VM for something once in a while is mildly inconvenient, but it's not that bad, and on the other hand it's just bad enough to keep

Interestingly even the faster 4900H has a lower TDP than the 65W i9-10900F.

At the turbo clock the i9-10900F is 5GHz vs. 4.3Ghz for Ryzen 9 4900HS. At the base clock the i9-10900F is 2.8GHz vs. 3GHz for the Ryzen 9 4900HS. Basically implies that Ryzen has better performance per watt, which doesn't affect absol

There are also several other methods that often work, e.g. the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header if there is a local proxy, or a long list of non-HTTP protocols or tunnel-XYZ-inside-HTTP protocols that have the client IP as part of the protocol.

We can actually measure how much was "choice" and how much was "defaults" because at that time there were versions of IE for Mac and Unix. They were, shall we say, not as popular as the Windows version. Even when there w

It's hardly even the right story on the desktop. It was obviously going to be the case that Edge would take market share from IE over time, because it acquires users in the same way that IE did (by being the default on Windows), and th
