My experience with popular-linux-distros-on-a-thumb-drive is that it is unbearably slow, both as a "live" installation and as a real one.
I dont know why they churn so much data at boot, but they do.
I think on HDD's the problem is masked by the i/o being mostly sequential. USB thumb drives however have an order-of-magnitude worse read and write speeds, with only their random access speeds being at all competitive with HDD's.
This is simply not true. Slashdot likes to think of Intel as a a CPU vendor, but that's actually quite a small part of their business. They make a lot of other kinds of chip and a great many of these don't require the latest and greatest fab technology. This has always been a big part of their advantage over AMD: they have products that will use the fab for 10+ years, so they can amortise the construction costs over that long a period.
They dont keep those fabs busy. Thats the flaw and end of your argument. Getting 20% usage of your production capacity while your competition gets 100% of theirs, means you have massive overhead in comparison.
Intel is in serious trouble and a decade from now you wont be here telling us how you got it wrong, you will just be fanboying something else.
Have you considered that doing nothing about it is a valid action plan?
There are two valid reasons that I can think of to "do something about it"
1) There is an identifiable problem within the page rank algorithm.
2) The people upset about the consequences of a page rank algorithm without an identifiable problem have an uncomfortable amount of influence.
There might be other reasons, but these are the only two that I can think of, and with the second one the real problem just may be the surplus of influence.
Without an audit like mine, nobody would ever notice the silly practice of rewriting what's probably built into their language, and readily available in other third-party libraries.
Have you not considered the possibility that the developer wanted different runtime guarantees than the standard library sort provided?
There are very good reasons to use something other than the bog standard quicksort with a heap sort fallback (aka introsort) in a lot of scenarios, be they server services or even games.
No, I didnt think so, nor did you find out why the programmer did include his or her own sort, as evidenced by you stating assumptions about it.
For either games or server services, that standard library introsort would never be used if I was head of the development team. No chance in hell does it perform better than radix sort (for game scenarios) or has the best possible worst case runtime (for server services.) Its a complete no-no to use it.
I was thinking the same thing. While oil is still easily pumped from the ground, any fluctuation in monetary value continues to be man-made. Oil continues to have real value regardless of how fast Saudi Arabia/etc pumps it.
..and many oil reserves have had their stocks utterly decimated.
For instance, Pacific Coast Oil Trust (ticker symbol ROYT, dont ask me why) has gone from ~$18.00/share paying dividends in 2013 to ~$1.20/share paying no dividends today, and that crash happened when Saudi Arabia started trying to keep up with the U.S. in oil production in late 2013.
Not good for investors, but cheap energy is great for everyone in general.
Slashdot Mirror
QuickBasic wants its argument back.
I guess I could have been more clear: "Why would Japan want to use it in such a way after having avowed..."
So you anwered a question that wasnt asked, while pretending to answer the question that was....
Got it. Dishonest fuck detected.
Thats "something you know" for sure, not "something you have."
So its all the downsides of 2-factor authentication, without being 2 factor authentication.

Did I say Japan built this thing in response to Trump?
Yes, you did.
You do understand that your post is visible to everyone, right?

You don't need it for a large portions of an application's code.
We arent talking about application code. We are talking about library code.
If you write libraries like you write applications, then you are part of the problem.
Someone doesnt know what kind of cache is being talked about....
...but still decided to dive in with "Not true..." acting like they know something.
So you dont have any evidence at all that a police report was filed...
...but you defended the claim that one was, with dishonest misdirection... a fabrication...
Whats your motive for being intentionally dishonest on slashdot?
If I look at your post history, will I find a lot of this behavior, or is it only now in this specific case that you had a motive to be dishonest?
If you commit a crime under partial anonymity...
How come someone named "DRJlaw" doesnt know that evidence of a filing a civil suit is not also evidence of a police report being filed?
For fuck sakes... why is your argument so downright blatantly dishonest?
Should we provide no guidance to children or to persons who have never been exposed to enlightenment thinking?
Why are the lefties always trying to guide other peoples children?
I have no decent answer what to do about it.

But that doesnt use the same fallacious logic as the great grandparent.
That is just a collection of 1 second clips showing news anchors using the word "racism".
Also, Democrats seem to like the idea of a limited federal government again.
Except that the whole point of the electoral college is that electors can block the winner if they don't like the result.
Or one could say the point of the electoral college is that sometimes the popular vote is a bad choice.
Although a couple of Democratic electors attempted to switch their vote to Sanders
3 Democrat electors switched their vote to Republican Colon Powell.
Nice try tho. The fake news is strong in you.
MSNBC "Racism!" drinking game.
Sorry pal, but you just dont remember it because you werent the target of constantly being called racist for 8 years.
And you are convinced that there is no way to detect the bad ones
Didnt you argue against extreme vetting in the case of the U.S.? Why yes, yes you did.
I believe you called it racist.
