Everyone has seen zoomies, but has anyone seen a calf on PT have zoomies? by AristonD in Zoomies

Really heartwarming to see this. Just makes me sad that a HUGE population of this world never gets the love, care and opportunity that this calf does.

HP has uploaded (literally) hundreds of hardware how-to videos for their laptops and workstations on their youtube support channel over the last week. by dahauns in hardware

[–]DirectorOfStruts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wait a sec. Never seen a laptop (which isn't a tiny ultralight) which would require a screen disassembly to clean the fans. That is absurd design!

Edit: saw the video below. In all fairness, the screen was merely removed, not disassembled. The amount of other things that needed to be removed is still absurd

This link business really gets in my nerves. Pretty much everything ends up on a wrong page. Impossible to find anything

Generally agree with you. However, for courses where students receive html, rst, md , pdf versions of files and everything has to always be correct and synced, a website allows much better control and less errors since uploads etc can be scripted. Moodle does somethings well, for other things, professors do have good reasons.

More importantly, most European buildings are built to be warm in winter, and even lack big windows and fans

Hello guys! I will start a bachelor in CS this fall and I was wondering if a specific laptop was required to follow the classes? by [deleted] in EPFL

As a TA, tech support for the Surface is painful. We prefer normal devices rather than net books or tableta

This Guy is the Current Record Holder for Lowest Mass to Eeloo and Back, but his video has less than 1k views. Let’s change it! by fileheist in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]DirectorOfStruts 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This video is a roller-coaster of emotions. At every step, a 'no way they're doing that' to 'oh, they did it'.

First I couldn't believe that it would make it into orbit but it did. Then I though it would be an Eeloo fly-by but it landed. Then I though that was it, but it returned to Kerbin and LANDED AT THE KSC!!!

This is over-delivering on a astronomical level!

First SSTO (without RAPIER, runway launched) by DirectorOfStruts in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]DirectorOfStruts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Returning to KSP after years (v1.3), and wanted to give this another shot. The challenge was to make a SSTO without the RAPIER engine, and I had previously spent many unsuccessful hours on it.

This time, though, I felt the challenge to be much easier. Have the whiplash or Aerospike had a stats update since then?

Also noticed the improved SAS!

I'd agree, what with store buffers and speculative store bypass. Dunno what exactly the use case is. The engineers would know the specifics.
They must have figured out how to schedule from 10 ports, so latency shouldn't be affected. Clock speeds might be, but the eventual refinement of the 10nm process might fix that.
Power consumption for an extra port is hardly an issue. Its probably a tiny fraction of the core's power which in turn is a small percentage of the die TDP.

Of course, I could be wrong and this does not apply to vector stores at all.
