It appears the OP article is just a rehash of SK Hynix press release [1], which is being republished by the usual suspects. Anandtech has a more jaundiced take [2]. I don't think it's just buffering; registered memory is nothing new. It appears it's due more to latching; the MCR DIMMs are latching 128 bytes rather than the current 64 bytes, and is doubling how long (in bytes) a transfer burst lasts. This would reduce overhead for transfer setup. There may also be some bus clock boost.

So, right now, appears to be lots of breathless PR regurgitation.

Animated Unknown Pleasures in 3 lines of K (2015)
This is the full K program:

When I was a young lad, my parents got me that book for Christmas. I loved it. When Unknown Pleasures came out I immediately recognized the image. I used to (I assume) bore people with my knowledge of its provenance - "You know, that image is ..."

I had cut it out of the book and pasted it on wall at some point. What I didn't find out until many years later was that Saville had use that book as the source, and not some earlier primary document.
I'm mostly familiar with gitlab, what does github provide for free above and beyond that? I like that I can run my gitlab pipeline on my machines and sync to a free gitlab instance. I like that I don't read about security vulnerabilities in gitlab pipelines nearly as often as github actions. I like gitlab issues as they are fairly minimal.

>motherboards are priced so high

Only if you go for the really stupid RGB "gamer" motherboards sprinkled with more fairy dust than sense.

Something like this ASUS Prime Z690-P[1] is reasonably priced at just north of ~$200, it even has luxuries like 2.5gig ethernet and onboard wireless.

If you want a DDR5 setup, this ASUS Prime Z690-A[2] is still ~$260 with plenty of luxuries.

If you can do without a top-tier chipset, H670[3] and B660[4] motherboards can be had for somewhere around $100 give or take.

A quick glance at AMD's side of things also seems to paint a similar picture.

The only computer component currently way out of wack in price are GPUs, everything else is either reasonable or downright cheap.

Safari is real pain for web apps.

"Most powerful" phone runs out of memory, but 10 year old Android can handle same site fine. It was working fine in iOS 15 also. And works even in old IE11.

Every iOS release is horror, what will be broken again...

Yes, I am angry and tired of Apple's lack of QA. Trillion dollar company should invest more in quality.
I'm not sure which year you are from. Over ten years ago, it was definitely the case. But now, Windows 10, especially 11, bothers me much much more than Linux.

Just in around 3 months, this is already the 2nd time that Windows 11 screwed up and I wanted to clean wipe it. I never imaged a triple hit before: a bad update fcked up the external display; then uninstall the update again fcked up the whole system; and at last system restore did not work. And that's on a damn surface pro 8.

On the other hand, another toy laptop with Fedora installed has running flawlessly for quite a few years, started from Fedora 30 to 37 without a single hiccup.

For Macs, never liked Apple products, so no comments.
Sure, that's a fair point as well (though bzr came out of GNU arch, which didn't originate at Canonical, and it was finally redesigned into something good at Canonical — not a knock on arch either, it was simply early).

The question then becomes: why not Mercurial which still had a better UX than git itself?

My point is that git won because of GitHub, despite lots of suckiness that remains to this day (it obviously has good things as well).

Why shouldn't Japan care about Ukraine? If Ukraine can be invaded and the rest of the world does nothing, then why bother having borders or nations or the rule of law? If Ukraine's territory doesn't matter, then why should Japan's territory matter?

I'm trying to teach my kid autonomy, but he doesn't want it.

When I was 12, I traveled around the country by train on my own for 4 days. Dutch railways had a special ticket for that: Tienertoer: 4 days of free train travel within a 10 day period, only for teenagers, and you got a booklet with all sorts of discounts for museums and other stuff to visit. At 12, I figured I was a teenager and therefore old enough to do this.

My son, almost 14 now, is not remotely interested in anything like this. Though he does claim to be old enough to stay home on his own for a weekend while we are away. But I don't trust him to actually come out from behind his (my, actually) PC if we do this.
I bought an M1 MacBook Pro when they came out and I like it a lot. What concerns me about future revisions of the CPU is it will get hotter and the fan will get noisier. One of the best features of the M1 is the fan hardly comes on, and when it does, it's very quiet / low RPM.

Not really true, for example: Sweden has been doing above EU average on both immigration and higher birth rates (for its development level) to account for the shortfall, it's not that clear cut in Europe as a whole.
I'm very happy that Finland is part of the team now. Sweden can stay out of Nato for all I care unless they finally cooperate with Germany when it comes to the Nord Stream bombings instead of hiding their findings.

> Most users will have other browsers installed along with Safari. And they will just switch browser if something doesn't work, they are used to it.

Is there any statistic to back that up that safari users first blame their browser and switch to a different one before they give up on a site? And why are they still using safari in the first place if it happens so frequently that they made a habit out of switching browsers? I'm not convinced.
Really hard to get the magic smoke back in
Interesting. I'd definitely written azul off as abandoned. Webrender seems like a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand it has an incredibly rich and mature feature set. On the other hand it's woefully documented and constantly updating.
I'm not sure the shape of the earth is good example here, because I, as someone not doing any geodesy professionally or at all, can accept the "sphere" as such a good enough approximation, like probably millions do. Every model you've seen at school, or in books, or planetariums are (to the human eye) indistinguishable from a sphere, which makes this very much a "well, actually". Yes, I guess after elementary school you'd add some "it's nearly a sphere" and "perfect spheres don't usually exist in the real world", but for all intents and purposes, it looks like a sphere. So maybe it's a good example after all ;)
> Most users will have other browsers installed along with Safari. And they will just switch browser if something doesn't work, they are used to it.

HAHAHA.

Are you not aware that every browser in iOS is basically wrapper for Safari?

New bugs in Safari will break other browsers also.

You can have more than one browser installed. I have some specific use cases between Brave and Firefox.

Choose the right tool for the job.
> Most users will have other browsers installed along with Safari. And they will just switch browser if something doesn't work, they are used to it.

I haven't found that to be entirely true. Users will definitely have multiple browsers installed but that's usually because someone in their IT department had them install a second browser for testing. Most users will use one browser the entire time and need someone to tell them to try it in another browser if it's not working.

If I were a UFC fan then I would be concerned about the integrity of UFC, given the pure entertainment and narrative focus that an organisation like WWE has.

There will be moments where WWE execs or simply WWE practices and processes will realise that a certain UFC outcome will be much better entertainment. The question is whether or not everyone will forever have the integrity to ignore that as an option and if the dividing line between the two cultures is strong enough to stop the bleed.

Could it maybe work the other way, start to make the WWE more real?

Which is weird, because barely any part of it is produced in the US. So it's not that their costs are going up.

They are just not realizing they are self sabotaging in terms of opportunity costs.

If they adjust prices to purchasing power, with at least 30% profit marge, windows laptops and chromebooks would be having crisis talks right about now.

People would prefer the Apple stuff, but not at that price. Even if you can easily afford it, if you are from a protestant nation, you couldn't live with yourself spending your money so irresponsibly. The value deal isn't there, unless you are using it professionally. But for leisure? No way.

Long-term services are great targets for governments.

If you were to looking for some trust in a VPN, you would want them to offer locations in privacy friendly countries, and highlighting them as such. That would potentially funnel more used to those servers which would be beneficial. You would also want the VPN to ensure the servers in those countries are run by companies based in that country, and not be head-quartered in some other country.
Somewhere out there is a good copy-pasta dismissal of these boring reflexive "But look! A Western country did something similar that one time so that makes it okay for us to do!" responses.
Geoid
Yeah the ones you want I guess would be 1920x1200 with the height reduced by common (say Windows 10/11) taskbar and tooobars. It's never going to be perfect but you'd at least want to minimize letterboxing for the most common fullscreen setups on the most common platform(s). But you could throw in 1920x1200 full screen as well for good measure.

Perhaps it would be better to letterbox randomly with say 20px width and 20px height, so it's just 1 chance in 400 to even return to the same reported screen size? That way you'd be even harder to track than if you are the only person running exactly 1000x800.
Generally speaking, what is the cost differential between hanging wires and digging wires? I would imagine that in rural areas, underground wires require less maintainence since you don't need to monitor them for fallen trees, brush overgrowth, etc. But at the same time I would guess the installation costs are higher? Maybe? Surely avoiding utility poles saves money.

I still find Windows to be pretty snappy and easy to use, but I completely agree with the author about all of the junk that comes with it (or is suggested to you in the Start Menu) and the pushing of ads and Bing results/news articles. I've started to use macOS more and more at home in addition to at work. I've been contemplating just hooking up my Windows desktop to my TV to basically use it as a game console, because that's the only reason I really boot into it anymore.

It's really hard for me to tell what the direction of Windows is these days. At least under Ballmer you knew what they were trying to do, either with the Windows Live software package or the push for Windows 8. What's humorous about this is that the disinterest in Windows is harming other areas of the company; the failure of UWP and the Windows Store continue to hamstring the XBox division, who had to build their own client for Game Pass games, and even that is a slow and buggy React Native app because Windows has no compelling native app dev focus anymore.

I don't doubt that there are plenty of examples of people being hit by scooters, and there's definitely even more examples of people being hit by cars.

But I mean whenever people are giving their anecdotal evidence as to why they don't want scooters it's always because they were "almost" hit, I'd never read a comment from someone who was actually hit and almost is very subjective.

When considering something like this we should really be looking at the data, rather than yelling about people who were almost hit
Because I don't disagree with those points. But the idea that there is nothing 'noticeable' from the left shows they're a) maybe better at it and/or b) saying things that are believed at face value because they align to beliefs.

For the other commenter to be so entirely blind to their side's propoganda should at least cause pause for reflection.
The problem with Paris really is in the lack of respect for pedestrians space. Motorcycles often park on the sidewalk, and most of the time the side walk has an area monopolized by motorcycle. Since motorcycles have to drive from and to these "parking" spaces, you very often end up with pedestrians and motorcycles inches appart.

This simply creates a very blurry line between spared spaces. It's not surprising that e-scooters simply ride on the sidewalk and are a hasard, when the motorcycles themselves also do.

The other problem is the streets are old and often have brick sections. ok if you're a car, annoying on a bike, almost unbearable with the small wheels of the scooters. Often they ride on the sidewalk with is a but less bumpy.

Origin of Modern Calculating Machines (1921)
Subtitle: “A chronicle of the evolution of the principles that form the generic make-up of the Modern Calculating Machine”

From p. 190: “That all inventors deserve credit, even in the face of failure, is without question. The hours, days, months, and sometimes years, given up to the working out of any machine, intended to benefit mankind, whether the result brings a return or not,—whether the invention holds value, or no,—leaves a record that the world may benefit by, in pointing out the errors or productive results.

“If it were not for the ambitions and untiring efforts of men of this type, who give heart and soul to the working out of intricate problems, the
world would not be as far advanced as it is today.”
Sure, and their options include literally everything else on the market, including older macbooks. You're missing the point by a mile.
> Most browsers have a beta/review release, you can run your test on that, once per day, automatically.

Okay, how do I run headless Safari in a CI exactly? And how do I run Safari mobile in a CI since it has different bugs than the other one sometimes?

I'm sure some people hacked some stuff together with ducktape but you are far far outside the supported development cycle of this software.
In protocols and file formats, specifically.
Yeah the kids don’t remember the bad days.

It was not just that IE was broken in all sort of very odd ways, or that it was incompatible with the rest (and standard), or that it was essentially a monopoly.

It was all three. So a site built for IE would not work at all in other browsers if it used anything remotely advanced (and advanced back then was users events), you had to support IE to live (on anything but demo site), and doing so was hell on earth because the bugs went from top to bottom (the browser’s memory management had to be worked around, and there were no memory profiler, hell the debuggers only worked half the time).

Not that it’s any fun encountering a buggy browser, even less so when a feature is so broken you’d be better off if it were not supported and just did nothing or used a fallback and you now have to coerce it into that, and it does seem to be a recurring issue of safari.

But it’s no IE, at this point you’d need malice aforethought to get there.
So Joe Rogan may become a WWE commentator? I find that hilarious as he isn't a wrestling fan.

"Back in 2014, Joe Rogan caught heat from pro wrestling fans after making fun of wrestling when comparing it to MMA. Rogan noted that MMA was real, while wrestling "was some weird, f**ing jerk-off thing that strange guys do when they sit in front of the TV and pretend that they don't know it's fake."

Rogan later said he was just making a joke and didn't really hate pro wrestling. In May of last year, Rogan spoke with comedian Patton Oswalt on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast about pro wrestling being called "fake."

"It's definitely scripted. It's not like they're risking it all because they don't know what the outcome is gonna be," Rogan said. "It's different than an actual athletic event, but it's still pretty badass as far as what they're able to do. They don't nearly get enough credit for it either. While they were doing it, before the lockdown, they were doing it 250+ days a year traveling all over the country, throwing each other on tables."

Earlier today, Rogan said he was watching the A&E Legends documentaries and may now finally understand what pro wrestling was about." [1]
