What a lot of people fail to recognize about PHP when they rag on it is its immense framework support.
The problem is, the frameworks are awful too.
Having said that Node.js has taken over the relevancy of languages such as Ruby in later years (or competitors to PHP).
Yes, Node.js is a competitor to PHP in sheer misguided awfulness, and a bloody-minded insistence on doing everything in the worst possible way. But that is not, for most of us here, a reason to use it.
But a person with either good vision or properly corrected vision has significantly better than 20/20 acuity.
What's more, we're sensitive to certain visual artifacts below the nominal limit of acuity, in some cases significantly below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
There's certainly a point of diminishing returns, but there's no hard line beyond which no improvements matter. (Or rather, there is, but it's far beyond the "retina" limit defined by Apple's marketing or 19th century opthalmologists.)
Magazines print photos at an effective 300 dpi. Text is printed at a much higher resolution - 1200 dpi or more - because text at 300 dpi looks lousy.
So this phone is complete overkill for photos, but about right for text. At this resolution we might finally do away with font hinting and anti-aliasing.
Having a government try to completely control an economy right down to owning all the businesses and land and deciding on everyone's employment and housing does lead to certain economic inefficiencies.
Catastrophic and insoluble ones, yes. J. B. S. Haldane (himself a communist) pointed that out as far back as 1926.
Well, it won't be the same price - it requires a more complex fab process - but yeah. Consumer MLC drives have proven themselves to be robust and reliable, for the most part. TLC still seems to be a bridge a little too far.
I'd like to see Tech Report re-run their endurance test with current drive models. The only "problem" is that drives are so good now that by the time the best model fails and we get the final score, none of them will be on the market any more.

Ruby has some issues, but it is superior to PHP in every possible way. And for the most part, vastly superior.
So from an entirely awful language and environment to just an almost entirely awful one?

But it can see its own light even before it's built.
That's pretty impressive.
Well, that's depressing. Great languages like Ada, Algol, Pascal, Modula-2, and Logo, and in their place we have PHP and Javascript.
You mistake your wife for a hat.

There are poor capitalist countries. There are rich capitalist countries. There are poor communist countries.
There are no rich communist countries.
What matters is whether the government is focused on getting out of the lives of ordinary people.

Thanks, but I'm busy that day. Got a thing...
But look at Venezuela. They have a socialist government now and everything is just peachy.
So long as you don't want jobs. Or food. Or toilet paper.
It's still a communist dictatorship. Nothing's going to improve until that changes.
TFA needs top stop being idiotic drivel so that it's worth reading.
Take your concerns up with the laws of physics. I'm sure they'll care about your opinion.
They were solved years ago.
Just stick to Intel, Samsung, or Micron/Crucial, and avoid TLC.
Which traces back to the Pentium Pro. But Core 2 was a major advance over earlier versions.
I have a 2lb LG notebook. It's great. It doesn't feel "too light", or flimsy, or cheaply made.
If these Lenovo models do, it's not the weight, it's the specific materials used, or the construction, or the design.
Right. No business would take a real loss to prevent a larger theoretical loss. That's why the insurance industry doesn't exist.
HBM1 gives 1GB and 128GB/s per stack, so 4GB and 512GB/s in this model with 4 stacks.
HBM2 will double both performance and capacity, and is expected some time next year.
But that's working with 32-terabit floating point values.
These are small projects each focused on one specific detail, mostly modelling ways to predict and reduce sonic booms.
Also, the total amount is $5.7 million; I think the $2.3 million might be the first year.
Fastest Carrizo model (the FX-8800P) is 819GFLOPS.
If there's more than one, I suspect I might know what happened.
