    I can tell you exactly how I noticed it because it was on my workstation this reproduced originally. I have a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU and it has a crazy fan ramp. Anytime a process maxes…

    This is so fitting because even if Microsoft is deprecating and giving up on this monstrosity the executable is still sitting there. Serving legacy web apps that should have been a…

    This thing branched horribly. You had to use instructions to selectively write to distinct memory locations to avoid typical branching because misprediction was expensive. This was…

    Yes, we're spending the summer in Denmark. If we like what we see this is the best option. It all hinges on how this year's election goes. I don't know why I believe we can change …

    You expect some enormous sea monster but all you got was some kind of immortal sea weed. Trees have this thing as well. Many tree organisms are 100 000 years old. There's also some…

    It's sounds like you'd be interested to live in my country (born and raised here, I'm almost 40 now and have two kids, happily married etc) but I don't think you know all too much …

    Sweden, the way I think we should look at it is the discrepancy between what my employer is paying me and what I receive in my bank account. That's 51.8% of what I make. That is th…

    N=1 isn't an argument either. I'm simply saying what a lot of people in my situation also thinks. It's just sensible that you don't stay because you like paying taxes. You stay whe…

    No it's not. I'm currently contemplating leaving my country of residence because absurd tax rates. I'm a productive member of society and high earner but I'm starting to loose fait…

    We should all learn from this and understand that if we don't fight for and uphold our liberties they will be taken away from us. Every fight matters and if it wasn't for the US co…

    Politics aimed at making a specific type of energy unprofitable by taxing it to death is not. It's activism. Sweden cannot depend on solar alone, we have plenty of hydro in the nor…

    So, what's your argument? That people won't buy nuclear energy on an open market or that an open market for nuclear energy doesn't exist? In Sweden, where I live, about half of our…

    See, now I know you're just lying because the equation isn't at all the same across all countries. Maybe you don't like nuclear and that's fine but you don't have to lie about it.

    Well the messaging should be positive. Maybe we someday can have a public informed discussion on health. I don't think shaming will work too well but we have to acknowledge that be…

    This must be part of some disinformation effort to streer people away from the simple answer. Their conclusion is that you're helpless if your fat and that's just not true. The ide…

    I've been doing this long enough and I know this stuff well. If you want a simple answer there is one. It's all about the nutritional quality of the food you eat. Everything is dow…

    This is false because everything isn't metabolized the same. I don't like this idea of trying to apply physics. It's not the right model. Simple example, you eat only protein and f…

    Look, Given what you just shared, I'd guess your metabolism is quite high. That just means it takes more for you to put on weight. If you're young then this even less of an issue. …
