You said even scientific appliances are "good enough" today..., I just showed you how that is false.
And my anecdotal evidence is much more common that you may believe. How do you think research progresses around the world? Why do mayor research institutions build bigger and bigger supercomputers? Why are GPU manufactures in a race to provide the most computing resources?
I'm currently working on a fusion energy research project. Come tell my colleagues that run huge plasma/beam/mechanical simulations that what we have is "good enough". Or to the Cray workers that are currently installing the new supercomputer after the old one was decommissioned.
I just built a new machine with a Vega 56, and it works perfectly on Linux. You just need a distro with a recent enough kernel that includes the amdgpu driver.
IMAX is estimated to be around 18K for the original negative, and less than 12K for the final print that gets projected at the cinema.
Regarding TV, it depends on your eyes, but I can clearly see the difference between 720p and 1080p, and on a big enough screen (around 50"), between 1080p and 2160p.
I'm currently living in Japan and on a good day I get 80/80 Mbps, but usually the download bandwidth is smaller. Not everybody in Japan lives in Tokyo.
I have never owned a Mac, nor do I plan to do so, so I can't answer your question.
Regarding compression, I just did a test with the first Qt5 program I could find installed on this Windows machine. Uncompressed size 57 MB, compressed size 18 MB. If you build Qt yourself and statically link only what you really need, I think the size would be smaller.
This is about home routers. Every single home router I have ever seen has a dedicated WAN port and usually four LAN ports. Try connecting the WAN to a LAN port (assuming both use Ethernet), and it probably won't work.
I have coded in Qt for years. It's really pleasant to use, and not bloated at all. Yes, on Windows the DLLs take quite a big amount of space, but only on disk, not so much when running the program.
A framework that sucks huge amounts of memory and that runs on top of an scripting language is Electron.
- Typescript is open source, with an Apache 2.0 license: https://github.com/Microsoft/T... - JavaScript deserves to die in a fire. And thankfully now we finally have WebAssembly.
Wait, what? I'm a gaijin living in Japan and every single map that I have seen uses the swastika (or manji) to mark temples. I just took a look at Google Maps, and it does the same. Also, the manji faces counter-clockwise, and the Nazi swastika was clockwise (and rotated 45).
Seriously, it would me really angry if they had to drop a centuries old symbol due to tourists' ignorance.
Latvian is not an Uralic language, it belongs to the Baltic branch of the Indoeuropean languages. Estonian is an Uralic language though, and quite similar to Finnish.

That's exactly what I said.
If you think what we have is "good enough" for scientific uses, you have never worked in a big research project.
They may be a small fraction, but they consume the most computing resources. The Pareto Principle and all that.
When? The only commercially available 3D chips that I can find are memory chips, and they are just stacks of 2D chips.
They mean moving from 2D to 3D chips.

Do you realice how complex and expensive a modern semiconductor fab is? You are never going to see one in your local maker space.
AMD already sells a GPU with an integrated SSD: https://www.amd.com/en/product...

But TypeScript being open source means that, were Microsoft to try to close it, the community would fork it.
Regarding the languages that deserve to die, why C++? Even with all its crazy complexity, we don't have a language that can fully replace it yet.
- IPv6 is optional.
Fuck this, it's about time we migrate to IPv6, they should make it mandatory.

Cool stoy bro, but in this case:
- Typescript is open source, with an Apache 2.0 license: https://github.com/Microsoft/T...
- JavaScript deserves to die in a fire. And thankfully now we finally have WebAssembly.

We are talking about real coffee here, not the bullshit Americans call coffee.
I'll see you and raise you: I like my women like I like my whisky, 12 years old.

Just a quick Google search:

Several models mention being able to use 2 TB of RAM, with dual socket ones being able to reach 4 TB.

Max Mem: 2 TiB
And even more bandwith, due to 8 channels instead of 6.
More like Finland.
