The average rider probably cannot produce more torque than their weight that way. A quick search indicates that professional cycling sprinters can generate slightly over 100 ft-lb of torque. The average rider won’t be producing anything close to that. (Hard to find anything definitive, though.)

If you aren’t standing up sprinting, you’re definitely not going to be getting anything close to your “body weight torque”.
You can definitely do this with fiddler. Very nice to use in conjunction with xip.io also

> What if the manager makes $12.50 an hour? Or $10?

Well, who manages that guy? Even if literally everyone but the CEO barely earns a living wage, and you end up with results like those, I still know who is to blame.

Just go up the chain until you find someone who is paid enough to shoulder responsibility, even if it means you have to go all the way up to upper management.

What are the odds they will stick to their own timeline, or slip to bring it to market like everyone else.

Ejection seats are about as functional as it gets. Any part that can't be readily explained by physics or requirements has no business being there.

I know about all the 'cool' spy stories, the IBM typewriter one is still the best example (much better than The Thing, in spite of Theremin being lightyears ahead of the game) because it shows that when you are actively looking for something you might still overlook it.

But the point is: typewriters and Great Seals do not have a whole lot in common with fighter plane ejection seats.
I read a few of those and it's just like reading later Sherlock Holmes pastiche. They both capture the setting and the mechanics and completely exorcise the spirit. It's almost sad to read things like that. It's the wish that the author had written still more in mortal conflict with the fact that he didn't.
Give embedded programming a try. There is a good mix of solution's between electronics and writing code that it keeps things interesting. As well, you don't have heeps and heeps of stacks on-top of each other. It's fairly close to the metal and far simpler to work thru issues that arise. There is an endless array or embedded projects that you can get yourself into, from solar, automotive performance, hydroponics, home automation to anything where computers have to interact with the physical world.
People still benchmark CS:GO because it is one of the few games that is CPU bound that still actively being played today. It's one of the few games where a single core performance and memory latency has a big impact on overall performance.

Intel always had a huge lead on CS:GO until Zen 2 where the gap finally closes up, which is why a lot of people is referring to CS:GO benchmark when talking about Zen 2 in context of gaming.
This is heartbreakingly cruel. It's hard to believe that an otherwise civilized country can do this to its citizens.

The problem for popular writing is that you need to motivate the question in the reader.

Suppose, for instance, that you discovered that a particular algorithm can correctly classify a problem. Well, you sort of have to first tell people why this was surprising.

For academic papers you can assume that people know (I show NP>P, folks!) but for an article for people outside the field, inciting curiosity is key.

You can see this in all the pop science (in the best sense of the term) out there: Gladwell, Freakonomics, Lewis etc

While the average frame rate is the same, you see more stutters as the CPU chokes on feeding the GPU in certain cases. So the max frame time is much longer.

At least that’s what I saw on my 2600k@4.5GHz before upgrading to a 1700X@4GHz with the same 1080 GTX running mostly at 4k.

It seems like while the per-core IPC was mostly similar, maybe 10-20% different, the peak memory bandwidth was bottlenecking me.

It wasn’t just tires, but rims as well. If I recall correctly for the original at top speed the useful life of rims was about 30min, tires about 15. You on my had 12 min of fuel at that rate though. Rim + tire replacement was something like 100k USD. Not that anyone was going to be able to put many top speed minutes together in practice.
Looked up the model we have it it is a 30,000 BTU cooktop. Looks like the high end “home” cook tops will top out at 18000 btu. I bet the average home cook top is 10-15,000 btu. So I was a bit off, but it is definitely a much hotter stove. It is a very effective heater for the house as well so keep that in mind if you want to go “pro”.

This is an extremely narrow point of view, and one that actually hinders the support of properly dealing with climate change.

Halo car engineering results in trickle down effects to all of the vehicles you and I drive on a daily basis. Tire materials and engineering, aerodynamics r&d, suspension improvements, and so forth can apply to all types of vehicles, regardless of whether or not the power comes from an ICE engine or electric motor.

So while you may see this as a needless exercise in achieving 300 mph on a combustion engine, I see this as perhaps something that could give a 1% increase in fuel economy to VAG's entire fleet. Of course it's not a given, but let's applaud and support the potential.
Even reddit made the switch to a similar system. unknown points until later.
Another sample point and a different concern...

We just bought a new refrigerator this weekend, replacing the $3500 2011 Bosch that came with the apartment.

The Bosch burned out the compressor’s ECU - a $350 part that with labor would have been an $800 repair.

We comparison shopped all the appliance stores in NYC and ended up with a $2k Samsung side by side (not my favorite brand, but it fit in our tight galley kitchen)

PC Richard had only a single model with a touchscreen on the floor (Samsung French door). Best Buy and Home Depot had maybe one more from LG.

So on one hand, the concern that every refrigerator will have a useless touchscreen seems unfounded.

But... I was reading through the manual and was surprised to find instructions for connecting the appliance to my wifi. (MAC address available two hex digits at a time flashed through the temperature gauges)

Ostensibly this is to provide a channel for electric demand response (they even documented the api). It also connects up with Samsung’s SmartHome ecosystem (why??)

I have no doubt there is a full Android stack hidden what appeared to be a normal “dumb appliance”.

These hidden smart appliances are going to be great attack surfaces. I’m sure soon enough they’ll automate the wifi connection by making a back channel the nearest lightbulb or something.

Of course who’s following CVEs on their mesh connected toaster?

Anecdotal: Searching github issues has long since surpassed the usefulness of stackoverflow for me.

What's more stable and predictable about Intel then AMD? I'm genuinely curious. If you are upgrading you will have to buy a new motherboard anyway and thus it's not like Intel has a particular advantage there.

AMD has way better offering for the server market since every chip can handle ECC RAM.
This is a feature. The person who answered is specifically indicated with their reputation to help sort among answers.

If you're not knowledgeable and get a number of anonymous answers it may be difficult to get an idea of their relative 'values'.
Oddly I realize that I rarely find a reason to end up on Stack Overflow these days.
AMD has always had the problem of having weaker cpu's that were better per dollar. I agree they should have highlighted the 5x advantage, but for a long time people have regarded AMD as the value weaker option; this is what changed this gen and what they are trying to higlight. Finally AMD gets more performance for cheaper and is no longer just a better value in some applications
I think it's unfair to label it as misinformation. We're talking about the ability to delete an account which HN's only option is to email and ask nicely. It would be fair to say then the feature doesn't exist. Whether that's a good or bad thing is a different matter.

I have never had this problem with Chrome on any computer, and I think that it may be due to my usage patterns compared to those who do suffer this issue.

How many extensions do the afflicted users have? What are they? (They are not all equal in terms of CPU or RAM usage.) How many tabs do the users have open, and what are on those tabs? (Simple pages surely use much less RAM than full browser applications.)

Lots of people complain about Chrome and Firefox RAM usage - I want to know why I never see the same issue(s).

Actually the trade war should have helped India immensely, but like always they squandered on this opportunity as well. The current administration is just drinking its own Kool-Aid.

Everything is alright according to them India was miserable for last 70 years, they turned it around, converted it to most powerful and economically developed nation.

Current economy is great with shining India.

Unless administration does not accept mismanagement of economy and stop diverting public attention by creating issues of national security, things won't change.

I'm tired with their fragmenting their site into airtight topic specific QA sites, now with many questions one isn't sure where to post it to get max eyeballs. I feel that is something that could have avoided by design. Topics could have been managed through tags, instead of walling them off into separate sites.

And the obsolescence, things are moving so fast in JavaScript, Android, even in QT, Clojure etc, many answers including accepted ones are obsolete, and misleading.
> standard Malaysian, he speaks Terengganu Malay.

I have visited Terengganu. The Malay spoken in Terengganu is the same as the Malay spoken elsewhere. It would the equivalent of saying Arkansas English versus American English.
If you want to benchmark the CPU, then the CPU has to be the limiting factor performance-wise, meaning you don't want to be GPU bound.

It's usually easier to get to that point on older games. How this benchmark maps to real-world experience is, of course, a different matter.
Not only that, but each extension also gets at least one process to itself, sometimes more.

Stonil Capsule
A kidney Stone is a hard mass formed in the kidney due to calcium, cystine, and uric acid. It causes pain while urination. Due to a stone inside the kidney, a patient has to face uncontrolled stomach pain, vomiting, and inflammation while urinating.

kidney-stone-treatment

Stonil Capsule is the best treatment for kidney stones. This product is an herbal product and the knowledge of Ayurveda is behind the formation of this product. If Vata, pitta, and Kapha is balanced in our body then the stage is known as “Disease free stage”. Stonil Capsule is formed to maintain a balance of these energies in our body. The imbalance level of these 3 energies is responsible for the formation of Kidney Stones. The chemicals that are present in the urine are responsible for the formation of stone. Its size can be very tiny or can similar to a ball. It gives rise to various pains inside the body including abdomen and back pain. This herbal capsule will help you in breaking the stone into very tiny particles. These tiny particles will be thrown outside the body in the form of urine. You will get relief in the pain and also get rid of kidney stones. This herbal capsule provides the natural treatment for kidney stone.

Ehh, technically they do, the APUs like the 2400G, 220G, and 240GE apparently have a "broken" implementation of ECC on "all" motherboards, but many of those motherboards do advertise working ECC with the 'Ryzen PRO' variants of AMD's APUs.

I really think it's better to just have an up vote arrow and no down vote option, for questions at least. The only reason on a site like that to really vote something down should be if something is off topic or against the rules, in which case you have a report button. If a question just straight up doesn't interest you or you don't want to answer it, then ignoring it rather than voting it down seems like the reasonable response. I also know that since visibility is based on how your score matches up to others, some people will just go and vote down every other recent question so theirs stands out more (unless stack overflow has protection against such things, I know it happens on similar sites)

I can maybe see an argument for answers to questions being down vote-able, since people may sometimes give answers that are wrong/misleading but maybe not to such a degree that they deserve to be expunged by moderators.
You wouldn't need to fully delete all comments: updating the author's name to "deleted user" would already be an improvement.
The Creative Commons license disagrees with your characterization. Plus Jeff founded Stack Overflow, so it's odd to single him out if republishing works legally is stealing.
The parenting comment suggest something different than what Reddit does. Reddit hides the comment's score, the comment suggest hiding the commenter's profile altogether so you can't see the commenter's reputation on the site.

On the Internet you don't exist unless you act, there are no points just for showing up. Thus the plethora of useless votes and comments (such as my comment here :) ).
Well, more open tabs means more connections to the Internet, which means more tracking is inherently possible. Or the other way around, reducing open tabs reduces the number of possible tracking vectors.

You're right, cross-site scripting is the wrong word, sorry... what do you call it what the Spectre-exploit does? It was the case that the exploit could access data from the other tab via Javascript, IIRC.
> the protest against western backpackers asking from money (a recent fad protest in some countries) is irrelevant to this particular story.

There's a term for that, it is called beg-packing. It is not irrelevant as it has been suggested in the comments that Mat was originally a beg packer. The article itself states that he was a back packer travelling South East Asia. http://www.popularyoutube.com/video/HYkgwRJvc2s/Dear-White-B...

> It's also not about "worshipping white skin", but about being amused and/or feeling validated by the western internet.

Thank you for clarifying. I'm using the term worshipping perhaps to oversimplify "feeling validated when a white person gives attention/time". And yes, it is about skin color, as a Western black person who is fluent in Malay would not get any attention.
Unmentioned in the article (or I missed it because I just woke up) is the fact that lockheed's skunkworks started pumping out weird shit around the end of WWII. Seems like that would have some effect.
If you’re using a public forum for health questions then you have bigger problems to worry about.

But put it this way. Trained surgeon A who has 5 years experience and has been on the site for 3 years has 4000 reputation. Answers a question.

A trained surgeon with 26 years experience who joined the site last week and has a reputation of 200 supplies a far better answer with added explanation of why and how etc.

You look at it and say oh wow 4000 reputation he must know more than the other guy. I’ll take his advice over the 200 reputation guy.

The noise level is less of a concern for me (the volume at least) it’s more about the frequency or sound itself. You ever hear those sounds that just bother your ear, and they sometimes are hard to locate? It’s like they become omnidirectional. Maybe this is at the edge of the human ear’s spectrum or something... kinda how a UV light bothers your eyes and can be disorienting at times.

For instance I have a Dell 2U server in my home office. It’s pretty quiet all things considered, but I wanted to lower the fan speeds manually (possible with ipmi tool) to make it quieter at the expense of maybe a warmer system. You’d think the lowest possible RPM would be best... but actually increasing it slightly from the baseline was the most pleasing sound, despite it being a tiny bit louder volume wise than the lowest RPM setting. At the absolute lowest speed the fans created this cacophony as they went in and out of sync, making a vibration sound. A little bit higher, that individual sound dissipated and I was left with soft white noise that was more enjoyable.
This culture is why I've never contributed to Stack Overflow.

I'm a reasonably senior engineer, I've been lucky to experience an extraordinary breadth of technology in my career, and I love helping people learn to program... but I just don't have the time or emotional energy for SO's top posters to pick apart the minutia of every word I say in an answer. The ROI for me is nil.
