My understanding is that caches are about as power hungry as the rest of the core, and consume lot of space on the chip, which is why you find large high-TDP desktop & server chips with huge L3s and then mobile chips with rather tiny caches. And huge caches are getting problematic in terms of latency too; if you're doing high performance stuff, you might just have to treat L3 like you used to treat RAM as far as cost of access goes. AIUI we just don't have much to gain on that front unless we can keep actually shrinking the process.

RAM and SSD sizes would mainly benefit from becoming cheaper (although even that's not a given if we're stacking layers and effectively multiplying the area -- with possible defects -- by number of layers) but that unfortunately doesn't translate to performance. Both do also run into thermal limits if you try to push performance. Alternatively you can add lanes for more bandwidth, but that doesn't help with latency, and you need more silicon on the CPU to actually handle it.

Right now I do not have any performance problem that I could solve by throwing more RAM or SSD at it (but I could just walk into a store and buy either and have enough for years to come; I can't walk into a store and buy a CPU that's fast enough to not be a bottleneck for years to come). Where there are bottlenecks, they are due to CPU execution speed or I/O bandwidth & latency.
Yes and no. The idea is that the MTA is claiming that it must be derived from their map, since its style is so similar; by showing there were similar maps made before, the argument becomes less credible.

> We were perpetually a bit afraid that Microsoft/Intel would pull something like Palladium/Trustworthy Computing [1] and lock down PC hardware but good, finally killing the Rebel Alliance of Linux/BSD, but somehow the hammer never quite fell. It did in the cell phone world, though, albeit in an inconsistent fashion.

I agree that phones are more locked down than desktops/laptops nowadays, but it's worth pointing out that neither Microsoft or Intel are really winners in this area. They both still are doing fairly well in the desktop/laptop in terms of market share though.
>results of previous caches persisting

You clear the buffer or capture it inside an optional type. When you're done with the buffer you can reset it to the default state to be used again.

Most of the issues are logical bugs though, not flaws with the pattern. You just need to reason about the computation that you're doing to preallocate exactly how much data you need outside your hot loops.

You can read some audio source code if you want, this is an extremely common pattern. Preallocate for your computation up front by exactly how much you need (and often with cache-friendly data structures) and don't get crafty reusing buffers where you don't need to.

My favorite part of BeOS was that in the control panel you could turn individual processors on and off. And it happily let you shoot yourself in the foot and turn off the last processor with no warning whatsoever.

That's absolutely not true. Most doors are trivial to pick and as easy to break down.

The main, and usually only, real reason for the lock on the door is to serve as a physical symbol which establishes a particular legal status of the property behind the doors, with associated consequences for unlawful entry. The legal apparatus - penalties, punishments - is what deters crime. Lock is an XML tag made of matter.

(The additional, secondary role of a lock is being a trivial inconvenience. Not enough to deter a thief determined to rob your place, but enough for a thief determined to rob a place to skip yours and pick a different one.)
Yes. If I make an exact (3D model) replica of a mailbox, or analogously, a re-recording of a song that sounds exactly the same, the original designer of the mailbox or song can exert authorship rights through copyright action.

The fact that you did the effort of making the mailbox in a drawing program or re-recording the song doesn't mean its suddenly free of copyright.

My guess is some manager got it in his head to gather some bullshit metrics and evaluate people on them, and the affected employees are so low-status that they don't have the political power to push back.

Skimming is helpful, especially I think if in a structured way: reading the beginning and the end first, then deciding if more is worth it, and if so, reading the first sentence (or so, maybe last) of each paragraph, and then deciding if more is needed.

The optimal approach might vary sometimes, but I have found this helpful even for some fiction (to relax, but get thru boring parts faster), and to get through more material generally, because things are of very unequal worth.

Also news articles tend to put the most important things at the beginning so there is less reason to read the end, or anything once you get far enough to answer your purpose.

Employees are also covered by GDPR so depending on what they do with the data they may be violating regulations. As far as monitoring, in general, is concerned I'm not sure there is detailed legislation on bathrooms but the EU stipulates that employee monitoring needs to respect privacy and freedom, needs to be proportionate and on a necessity basis, and I think you could make a pretty good case that monitoring bathroom breaks violates all of those.

Even if the empty home consumes no water, electricity, classroom capacity, bus seats, etc., it still consumes police and fire protection services. Someone else's empty home can be used for crime without worrying about civil forfeitures.

A better resident lives in their home, and cares about what is happening in its neighborhood.

quad-core workstations have been available for years, I literally have one from 2010 and I doubt it was the first even then. There were probably Core2 Quad or Phenom X4 workstations.

AMD had their own quad-core laptops available for a long time too, the Excavator/Piledriver series goes back many years as well.

Cheap dual-cores have been around forever as well, this is not something that AMD has brought on with Zen. This is not really a distinctive product in most ways, it's just a replacement for those old cheapo Excavator products for bargain-basement laptops. So I'm not sure what you're trying to say here other than 'AMD good'.

dual-cores have always been the standard for ultrabooks, but those laptops are literally defined as eschewing performance in favor of making it thinner and lighter. You make a processor that pulls half the power, the workstations will take twice the cores and the ultrabooks will slice off another 2mm of thickness and stay with dual cores. Zen did not change this dynamic.

Yes, Zen2 is a good product, this is not a Zen2 chip, nor is it really notably higher core count or anything else. It's a replacement for A8 piledrivers.
Did I place it before the early middle ages? Whoops! Not my intention. The schism took place in 1054 officially, however it was very much in the works before that. Thanks for pointing out my comment read as such. I use the term dark ages purely because that is the term the greatest amount of people will be familiar with, and I am referring to the period roughly between 1330 to enlightenment period.
"Of the 176 people on board, 82 were Iranian, 63 were Canadian and 11 were Ukrainian (including nine crewmembers), along with 10 Swedish, seven Afghan and three German nationals. None survived." What a tragedy.
There is a good and perfectly natural reason to favor people from our own country: they have to live under the same system as us. They have skin in the game on our team. Someone acting in our country but operating out of a different one can exploit the difference in rules to our detriment (e.g. a Chinese company competing in Western markets, but with the finger of state backing pushing on the scales). On a large enough scale it's a threat to democracy etc. if our group decides that groups no longer matter, and another group doesn't.

You can iteratively, conservatively try to approach an equilibrium where borders and divisions no longer matter and all of humanity joins together in enlightenment. That seems to be the general direction we're going and it's a good thing. What you can't do is unilaterally make a cooperative system out of a competitive one. If you go all at once by yourself you just get killed.

Nationality is a big (and in some cases literal) Chesterton's Fence. It is somewhat arbitrary, but that doesn't make it meaningless.
The analysis behind that link suggests 70% of US cows live on factory farms.

They use a cut-off of >150 cows on a dairy farm or >225 cows on a beef/veal farm = factory farm. The supporting sheets indicate that they take a simple 75% of the Small farm (300 head or 200 head for beef or dairy) maximum size as their cutoff for a factory farm. It doesn't explain why they use such an unsophisticated metric to define many small farms, and all medium- and large-sized farms, as factory farms.

That lack of sophistication makes me skeptical of these numbers.

That's my concern about their home vacuum cleaners as well: if a battery runs out, it would hit my computer. There are some programmable models though (were not available here at the time), and various certainly programmable DIY ones (may be a fun project, but would take some time); that seems like a much better solution -- both for efficiency and predictability (as opposed to random walk), and for this particular case with paths/boundaries (define them once in the robot's memory, maybe even just by moving it manually or otherwise showing it the path/boundaries, and don't rely on batteries in external devices).
For anyone like me who didnt know about the case, this info is burried half way down the article:

Smollett reported that two men attacked him near his high-rise apartment in the Streeterville neighborhood on a frigid night last Jan. 29, slipping a noose around his neck and shouting racist and homophobic slurs.
Jussie Smollett files counterclaim against Chicago saying prosecution was malicious »

Smollett’s manager — whose Google account information has also been ordered turned over — called 911 to report the attack and met responding officers in the lobby of Smollett’s building. He can be seen on body camera footage reaching toward Smollett to grab the noose around his neck with disdain. “The reason I’m calling (police) is because of this s--- ,” he said.

But Smollett eventually turned from victim to suspect after an intense investigation by Chicago police detectives who used two brothers’ cellphone records, internet search history and text messages to corroborate their story that the actor paid them $3,500 to stage the attack.

Prosecutors alleged that Smollett staged the attack because he was unhappy with the “Empire” studio’s response to a threatening letter he received at work a week earlier. Chicago police took it a step further, accusing Smollett of faking the letter as well.
You seem to be unfamiliar with the concept of a collective action problem. There are many cases in which services or activities may be detrimental to society at large, but individually leaving comes with a great cost to the individual.

So for example it is totally possible that a social network has a net negative impact on society, yet you closing your account comes with significant disadvantages to yourself as long as you don't get everyone else on board at the same time.

This is immediately obvious to anyone who thinks about these situations for five minutes.
If I understand the domain name infrastructure correctly, that would imply that it's the registrar who is collaborating with the squatters.

I find that far more trustworthy (in the mathematical sense) than a "slick" twitter feed.

Here in the United States, we put cheese on everything and it's slowly killing us.

That's the result of frantic efforts by the dairy industry and their enablers at the USDA.[1] The USDA is buying up cheddar cheese, even.[2] They try to dump it on school lunches.

The "cheese with everything" push has reached the point that over half the items on the Dunkin' Donuts menu now contain cheese, and the brand is renaming itself "Dunkin".

It's also worth mentioning that the US dairy industry in aggregate operates at a ~40% net loss [0, p9], and Wisconsin dairy farms have collectively lost money every year since at least 2005 [0, p16], before accounting for subsidies. US taxpayers are paying for all of the health consequences you mentioned.

Disclosure: I am vegan. Also, I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin, and I derived a nontrivial amount of calories from dairy throughout my childhood and early adulthood.

My philosophy is a bit different. I have found that although there are a lot of things to consume, a fraction (maybe even %1-%10) is even top shelf and worth your time (I wish I had the ability to delete books from my memory, not to re-read the book, but to never experience it ever) -- as time for those hobbies is limited and, well, why not optimize life for great works and skip the bad ones. I'm still having Foundations on my reading list but my opinion of the author is less no doubt.
