The patents for software don’t apply in their country

And you still have to send your light pulses through a fiber over thousands of kilometers, so 50ms is still physically impossible.

I drink both coffee (no sweetener) and Monster Ultra, because I like both. Although I prefer coffee.

Isn’t "for no key update skip locked" better than "for update skip locked"? Most of the times there will be no improvement, but it’s a good option when you don’t need a stronger lo…

I guess it's saying how many of the weights are -1, 0 or +1.

On a server machine you can have more than 100GB/s of NVMe if you parallelize (RAID 0 and the like). But it's still gonna be noticeably slower.

E without a doubt

In Spain (and I believe the EU), it’s required to indicate it.

It’s like distributed transactions, or cache-coherency protocols for CPUs. Edit: aaaand I hadn’t read the article

Yes it is. The lack of mods was already a dealbreaker for me, though.

Never, I hope

Yes, you are. Because those are not actual stated reasons from the developer.

Java edition still horribly underperforms. It’s mostly single-threaded and even if they’ve rewritten the lighting engine a few times (those decade old black-block bugs disappeared)…

Bedrock has much better performance so it was used for consoles, but there were already hundreds of thousands of mods for Java edition, thus the split.

I think the title should mention Emacs somewhere. A terminal emulator is different than a terminal emulator for Emacs.

There’s also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardwar... Seems like Nvidia doesn’t support JPEG in NVDEC.

Yes, but making just 3% could mean tomorrow you’re in the red.

CXL is adding "slow" RAM over PCIe, basically. Not replacing.

Of course it is a problem for consumers if it bankrupts the company. Healthy company is better than no company. And I mean healthy, not greedy.

Counting instances of "unsafe {" is pretty useless. Unsafe is needed in "safe" code. What it allows is to create a boundary where the caller is the one that uphelds the contract. I…

I’m pretty sure no x86 chip has hardware decode/encode for audio. Together with dGPUs, they tend to have decoders for JPEG and decoders/encoders for H.264, H.265, AV1 and sometimes…

And it's not an actual ebook. You have to create an account on the "ebook" provider's site and read it through their website or app.

They advertise the ebook as having interactive features and more compared to the print version. Shouldn't it be the preferred one?

You cannot make regular nuclear weapons out of thorium

Most plants don't need anything special for waste management. They just put it in dry cask storage and leave those in the outside. Ironically, there's less background radiation aro…
