    Gotta give you that. He still might have moved the steering wheel with his thigh though ;-) Crazy how it handled a shitty situation like around 6:55 in https://streamable.com/grihh…

    Just to point to another possibility, since the drivers right hand is not in shot, even though his left hand is carefully poised over the steering wheel for the whole shot, it also…

    I think I hate you. "But the money" is your argument for contributing to something you recognize as evil. Good on you for having at least some conscience so it "weighs on you". App…

    Which is pretty interesting. Apparently Outlook mangles inline patches for the lkml as well to the point that they are unusable and that would have been an interesting talking poin…

    Which is why I asked what the issue was and the author replied he/she was using Gmail/Apple Mail. I can see using the lkml with Apple Mail being difficult since Apple Mail sucks bu…

    Was my comment mansplaining? I'm genuinely curious. Apple Mail sucks and I'm always shocked how many people think it's "good enough". All the Apple apps are barely functional but f…

    I don't post to this specific list, so there might be weird issues I'm not aware of but... Gmail has the plain text option behind the 3dot menu in the bottom right corner. Apple Ma…

    I'm kinda curious which client makes writing plain text emails hard though.

    I do not dispute that you can use this in your app, my issue is with the server knowing about it (as it is in the demo here) and everything the server can call back from the client…

    And it is up to the client to manage all this. You do not gain anything by knowing the clients thread count. Which is what I have been complaining about all along.

    And that is totally fine. If you don't care you don't need to know. That has been my issue all along. Client computation of course needs to know how many threads are available to d…

    So, why do you need to know how many cores my platform will provide if you can not judge the performance of the cores anyway?

    Comment #26519354

    So, considering the amount of responses for thread count that you can not count on for any sort of performance, why do you need the thread count? Since you already answered downstr…
