To my recollection, the 580 tends to perform better than the 1060 on Windows too, the performance gap just isn't quite as wide....

I agree, though, you can say the same about any language. To me, C++ isn't that much harder than other languages, but like I said, I still avoid it because...

[schmidtbag]

Wow people here sure are shills. Yes, obviously C-like languages are faster. Everyone knows that. The reason languages like Python and Perl exist is because...

This is actually pretty interesting, particularly, in that everything lynx2 can do, this can't and vise versa:
lynx2 renders the page poorly and...

Am I the only one here confused about what exactly it is that's taking up all this RAM? If he's just transferring files to git, why does that need so...

[schmidtbag]

I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't care about PR. They get plenty of bad PR for anticompetitive stuff or other decisions that piss people off, and they stick...

[schmidtbag]

Traditionally, being proprietary or open has very little impact on the success of a product; I don't really think one is inherently better than the other,...

[schmidtbag]

Get a grip, fogey. Even without the social media aspect, this feature is a handy shortcut (such as the email feature). There are less practical things...

Jeez Apple, I know you really want people to adopt Metal, but you don't have to be so petty about it...

It's not apples to bananas. It's more like comparing plantains to bananas:
* Both products are heatsinks for the same socket
* Both products...

Again... context. People who are spending money on a 4U server shoved in a closet or a mainframe don't give a crap about the aesthetics of the CPU heatsink....

I'm well aware of all of this. But like I said later in my post, despite all of the design efforts, the relatively cheap Supermicro with it's crude and...

$90 is a lot of money for a fan attached to a chunk of aluminum, nickel, and copper. The fact there's not much competition for this socket allows them...

[schmidtbag]

Haha I can't argue with that, but it is a bit besides the point....

[schmidtbag]

Does "vulnerable" include previous Spectre and Meltdown patches, or does that mean before all patches? Because if this is the former, that's...

I think the Linux community is growing, but month after month, the top 10 most popular games (even outside of Steam) are not Linux compatible, and are...

I've been using start+T to run a terminal for 10 years, regardless of which environment I was in. I use terminals often enough that a keyboard shortcut...

[schmidtbag]

I agree, though nowadays with 8+ threads being so affordable, having a player's PC also act as the host/server isn't such a problem anymore....

[schmidtbag]

I couldn't agree more - local multiplayer is even being phased out on consoles.

Many times I've contemplated on building a PC dedicated to...

I'm surprised the "Clear Site Data & Cookies" feature wasn't implemented like... 10 years ago. Seems kinda obvious to me.
Also, I...
