elcct··on AMD's new Zen-based $499 CPU beats Intel's $999 CPU
Well, I just started my laptop and I have 179 processes and 2381 threads running ^^
elcct··on AMD's new Zen-based $499 CPU beats Intel's $999 CPU
But users run many applications at the same time.

Why is it pointless? There is never too many cpus

2016 has been very sad for left wing. Brexit, Trump now Castro...

I was hoping for $999 cpu but twice as fast as example Intel cpu...

At least those glitches look professional
elcct··on Deleting the golang subreddit
I think it is time to sign comments, that way these will be tamper proof.

Regarding the subreddit, I would just leave it. It was hard work of the community to create content that exist there and it will not be nice to remove it just because of some immature CEO.

But once suitable alternative comes to the light, would be nice to disallow further posts and add a redirect to the new community.

Liberal Democrats are bench warmers and when they are moved into play they can't execute anything - for example their drugs minister Norman Baker did nothing along the lines what Liberal Democrats preach. They are a political laughing stock and nobody takes them seriously.
elcct··on The war on drugs has failed: doctors should lead calls for drug policy reform
And that caused black religious communities to join the war as they didn't want to be associated with drugs:

"Just as in the past we fought slavery and we fought racism, we are going to fight drugs and the total indifference of those in power"

And thanks to Church, some would say "because it is a sin".

Apart from VPNs I can see the rise of plugins like this:

Purpose of such tools is to add noise and obfuscate the traffic.

> The Investigatory Powers Bill provides law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies with the powers they need to protect the UK and its citizens from terrorists and serious criminals.

But how it is going to protect the UK from funny criminals?

elcct··on UK government could force ISPs to block adult sites without age verification
It is more along the line "we like drugs, let's not plebs have it. we like porn, let's not plebs have it" and so on...
elcct··on Know before you go, with Google
I see your point, but this will lead to uncontrollable growth of civil servant class and effectively will inhibit any growth, plus as a side effect you'll get people not aware that one should use so called common sense.

I can agree that such laws should exist for things directly responsible for someone's health, but that should end there.

Power imbalance exists largely because of the regulations that are significantly increasing the barrier of entry for the new players. More regulation will make this problem worse.

Why is it right? Nobody forces people to buy Android phones

elcct··on Microsoft planning to enable x86 on ARM64 emulation in Windows 10 by Fall 2017
I disagree. Most consumer computers are so slow you want to pull your hairs out whilst waiting forever for something to load.
elcct··on Intel Declares War on GPUs at Disputed HPC, AI Border
FX-8350, mentioned by you, costs $149.99 according to cpubenchmark, and for extra $35 you can get E5 1620 that blows AMD out of the water. You can also install up to 384 GB of memory, whereas AMD cannot go above 64 GB. You can also get more PCI-E lanes, and squeeze more bandwidth out of the GPUs. Not to mention you cannot upgrade your AMD system to anything more powerful, without replacing everything with Intel platform ;)

That probably only makes sense for people with low budget. If you really need performance, not only "in some benchmarks" then there is no alternative to Intel.

It is like every year one reads that this time AMD beats Intel or NVIDIA, but when it comes to "showing the goods", AMD products are not much more than eccentric room heaters.
elcct··on How I stopped the RSI pain that almost destroyed my programming career
It looks like it is pretty common for companies to neglect air conditioning. What's the point in having fancy office if the air makes you dizzy after an hour and no amount of coffee can make a difference or the temperature. One days cold as f, another day let's all go naked and drink ice tea...

elcct··on All around the world, nationalists are gaining ground. Why?
It is also that big entities like to reach deep into people pockets and spend their money on vanity projects and there is no responsibility whatsoever. It is especially visible in the EU. Sometimes it gets tragicomical - in IT for example, you can get government grants for supposedly innovative projects. So then you can get websites about cats (there was no website about cat like that, so it's an innovation!) and other non-sense out of tax payer pockets. That's just tip of the iceberg. I am not saying that in the smaller, self-governing entities could be any different, but it will be easier to spot who is responsible and no longer suitable for office. That's rather not possible in the EU. Bureaucrats are getting fatter and fatter, civil servants are getting more and more important with more and more powers and little liability. They tell you how you have to live and you must obey. If you do not, you are being labelled bigot, outsider, racist, fascist or whatever label works... and people just want freedom.

elcct··on Don’t Mess with The Google
I think someone who figures out an easy way to do it will get some nice money coming in :)

Technology is already there, just need an easy way to order a domain and a server configured to use that domain. You control 100% of the data.

> This really seems like it needs to be regulated in law

Absolutely not! That way you are slowly making people to lose any bits of the common sense they might still have. Perhaps losing data once or twice will make people look for alternatives. Throwing in another regulation will just increase barrier of entry for companies offering emails and who knows what else some dumb politicians could come up with, maybe this will open the gate to even not being able to self host an email server.
