> Another thing that watch enthusiasts definitely warned me about but that didn't hit me until I actually started using a mechanical watch was just how annoying keeping up with a m…

Maybe I'm missing something, but the prices look bad for what is offered. Why would you use them over say a managed server, for example from Hetzner [0] or Netcup [1]? [0] https://…

> Also they're owned by Tencent, so yeah. They own "only" 40% of Epics shares from what I can gather.

Yeah, I thought so too since Nvidia owns Mellanox and Intel having their own NICs, OmniPath etc.

Could also be a bit of both. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's mainly Samsung giving Nvidia a great deal. For years it's all over town that Samsung seems to have the best wafer p…

Yes, 1 or 2 years ago I saw a short piece about recycling plastics and what really is getting recycled in the end. Many products which would be easy to recycle didn't get recycled …

> statically linked so they "just work" If I remember correctly you have to redistribute some .dll (VC something) file alongside your .exe on Windows since fresh Windows installati…

Maybe you can rent a sod remover machine? I've seen those rented out for ~40 USD per day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Qd33NhflQ With those machines it's more comfortable then…

Yeah, especially if battery life is important as it will feature LPDDR4X-4266 support (0.6v instead of 1.2 and low power modes).

I think much of that will flow into their GPU department. They have the node advantage compared to Nvidia (TSMC 7nm vs. TSMC 12nm) but can only match Nvidia in power consumption an…

You can use a steno mask so your voice doesn't disturbs others but also so that the voices from coworkers and other background noise doesn't disturb the speech-to-text software. It…

On youtube is a person who shows how to mod [0] a cheap midi keyboard for use as a steno device and also has videos showing how the typing on the michaela-midi looks [1]. [0] https…

Maybe better and more time consuming optimizations? 2 mio LOC vs. 26 mio LOC probably doesn't help either. Maybe there is some bottleneck somehwere in the software or hardware?

Back when Ultima 9 was released around 2000 my PC had 128 MB of RAM. Now Threadripper has the same amount of L3 cache in total (Epyc twice as much).

Yeah, and finally with LPDDR4x support which should, in addition to 7nm and the improvements Zen 2 has, further help increase battery life. Not to mention that the better bandwidth…

As a layman I would describe them as implicits like in current Scala [0] but better (easier to reason about). One thing which they allow is ad-hoc polymorphism like typeclasses. ht…

If you don't dislike videos then these "Foundations of Programming Languages" videos seems nice: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpSoGwyH5yHHvQut3x6c_2g/pla...

> [...] Metal is one year older than Vulkan [...] Is it really though? Vulkan is based on AMD Mantle which AMD gave to Khronos. AMD Mantle (2013) predates Apple Metal (2014).

It's probably best to ask servethehome since I've also understood it that way when first reading it but on a second read I'm not sure. The wording also reads to me as if they forgo…

servethehome had an interesting paragraph in their review: > We are also not allowed to name because Intel put pressure on the OEM who built it to have AMD not disclose this inform…

Interesting, this seems more flexible then the solution AMD previously used in their Radeon Pro SSG [0], in which they connected a 2TB NVMe SSD RAID directly to the GPU by placing …

Yeah, these honeypotts work quite well, however the last time I looked into it (circa 2012) I read that it is not ideal for visually impaired users with screen readers.
