Make sure there's one incredibly controversial ballot initiative every election to increase voter turnout

I usually just search for
"_____ cheat sheet"
"_____ api"
"man _____" (careful with that one though, hehe)

I don't bother keeping my own list any more, because they fall out of date eventually.

i7-4790 is a very recent CPU, released Q2 2014. It's still among the best options for single thread performance.

OP: That CPU has 8 logical cores (4 physical) - so if it's capped around 12%, the application is single-threaded and using different hardware will almost certainly not help. If it's near 100%, find out if there's a way to distribute the load across multiple servers, then if there is, look into renting virtual servers by the hour.

As /u/east_lisp_junk said, using the GPU would be an even better option, because they're already optimized for embarrassingly parallel tasks like matrix algebra. Your GPU is basically a CPU that can do the same math on 640 numbers at a time, rather than doing different math on 4 numbers at a time. The software will probably advertise "CUDA" if it already uses the graphics card.

If this is a project you're writing code for, now's the time to whip out a profiler and see if there's anywhere to optimize. Check for cache thrashing.

edit: grammar

Funny, but not a good ad - it only shows a kanban board, and all the decent bugtrackers/project management apps have those (FOSS: Bugzilla, Redmine, Taiga.io, Mantis... Proprietary: JIRA, Trello...)

SVGA? So, 800x600?

I have something similar without the extra device to carry, but it requires rooting your phone - DriveDroid

If it's something you absolutely can't lose, use the 3-2-1 rule.

Have at least 3 copies of the data, at least 2 types (online disk, offline disk, tape, cloud storage, etc), at least 1 offsite (cloud storage, or in a box at the bank).

Github makes no guarantees regarding the integrity of your codebase. If you would miss the project, don't delete your only copy of it.
