It's not necessary if you have a lower-level RAID (such as hardware RAID or mdraid -- Linux' software RAID) that performs scrubbing. I still use mdr...

The GPU benchmarks for Tiger Lake look pretty comparable to AMD's APUs. The deal-breaker with Tiger Lake is that it's simply going to be too expensive....

I'm pretty sure their SoCs have integrated Ethernet, for a while. They already integrate SATA and USB, so why not Ethernet? Reducing the number of chips...

Michael, what about compilation performance or browser benchmarks?

[coder]

Yeah, I mainly remember Carmack posting* about his experiences with porting GL Quake to different workstation platforms. For a while, I think he was...

[coder]

Well, there was that case where some key facility needed for NVLink support got dropped, because it only benefitted Nvidia's out-of-tree driver. I think...

[coder]

They do contribute patches, even if they're all self-serving ones. That's okay though. GPL doesn't restrict the motives of contributors, it works in spite...

[coder]

I think ID Software is somewhat of a special case. They've had a culture of doing cross-platform development and UNIX ports since the days of Quake,...

[coder]

Thanks. How do you know? I didn't see it in the screenshot or mentioned in their blog post. What little info I can find on the web mentions PCIe 3.0,...

Did you guys even say which distro or kernel you're using?

But I'm not surprised to see a Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U beat a Intel Core i5-4670K....

How convenient that you skipped Nintendo Switch....

[coder]

They had announced a partnership with MediaTek, but I'm a little surprised to see a MediaTek platform with a RTX 3060 up and running quite so soon. I...

I wonder if they could somehow dynamically determine the system is more GPU-limited and favor it. Maybe it needs visibility into the work queue statistics...

[coder]

It'll probably turn out to be mostly fill-rate limited (i.e. memory-bottlenecked), wherein various driver changes would have less effect.

I always wondered what country you were from...


Sorry, I can't let this one slide. I'm no expert on the Chinese legal system, but...

[coder]

Um, perhaps you weren't aware that even x86 supports other page sizes, such as 2 MB? I think that's not uncommon in some cloud environments.
...

[coder]

This isn't about page size. The kernel already supported variable sizes for a long, long time.

This seems to be about APIs which operate...

[coder]

Not only that, but Asrock Rack has a range of AM4 server boards, mostly in mini-ITX and micro-ATX form factors. Their documentation details which CPUs...

Michael is based in Canada.


Wow, try not to be so butt-hurt. English is a de facto language of business and tech in many countries....

[coder]

The real head-scratcher is why this wasn't fixed sooner.

It's usually painfully obvious when an API gets the abstraction level wrong. Sounds...
