The result is that the browser still holds on to at least a GB of memory, and sometimes uses CPU time as well.
Broken plugin / user profile alert. Seriously man I've been using Chrome and Firefox all day without closing either (different purposes, one has my personal account linked the other I use for work on this machine), Chrome currently has 8 tabs open and is using 400MB of RAM, Firefox has 2 tabs open and is using 350MB.
Also I didn't say web pages. I said web standards. Browsers are complex "operating systems" of our modern time. You don't need to do much in a web page for them to need to consume memory. That said... you're right, your problem isn't standards or the browsers, it's your local install.
Browsers are are slow and bloated because they are trying too hard to be fast, gobbling up more resources than they need or can manage.
Oh? Now there's a new theory. Are you expecting an Application to understand the available resource pool? I know I just quipped that the browser is a modern OS, but that was just a joke man. No Applications should gobble up any resources they need, it's up to the OS to decide if they can manage it, and please be consistent, a slow browser is one that does NOT load things in RAM and instead attempts to load resources from disk when required.
Considering that I understood the marketing and you did not
To channel my inner Trump: WRONG! You have clearly failed to understand the marketing. Good work finding a detailed description of NAND and ignoring the information that is most front and center to consumers. You're still splitting hairs trying to save your horrible interpretation of the situation while you continue to ignore the ACTUAL MARKETING.
Intel® Optane SSD DC P4800X with Intel Memory Drive Technology enables data centers to deliver more affordable memory pools by displacing a portion of DRAM or significantly increasing the size of memory pools. This solution transparently integrates the drive into the memory subsystem and presents the SSD as DRAM to the OS and applications.
WHOLY SHIT. I mean I was sort of trolling when I said you don't understand marketing. But you actually don't understand marketing! Like at all. It all makes sense now. You tried to discredit a promise Intel made on it's marketing material (which didn't make sense and failed to deliver) with... a promise made on Intel marketing material.
There's a big difference between letting go of the wheel on another car (lane centering stops working and you die a horrible death) and autopilot (for 30 seconds nothing at all happens, then some warning sounds happen for a while longer while the car happily drives itself, and then if you continue to ignore the system it will come to an orderly stop.
When driving at 130km/h 30seconds is a pretty frigging significant period of time, so was the over 2 minutes it worked for previously, and so were the infinite length of time before that when some dude playing his Nintendo while driving decided that we can't have nice things.
Sorry, but childbirth isn't friendly to most women's bodies, and you don't see any porn stars with stretch marks.
Not only do you see plenty of porn stars with stretch marks. Not all people end up with bad stretch marks or other "unfriendly" effects of childbirth, but you're ignoring that pregnancy porn is an entire fetish genre in itself.
That you chose to seek out the perfect and the "impossible" is on you. Personally I like tumblr for the amateur, real, and "possible" content.
If you have little self-control when it comes to porn, chances are you have little self-control in other parts of your life, too.
Your post is on point except for this one line. Humans display addictive behaviour for all manner of enjoyment often from something that can be as simple as an endorphin release. People get addicted to attention on social media due to this mechanism. They get addicted to substances that affect the mind (e.g. sugar) in the same way. Now porn itself firstly gives you that same sensation by itself, but couple it with the additional benefit of being often associated with an orgasm and you have and incredible addictive power.
Having no self-control when it comes to porn is no different from any other clinical addiction and by extension has no relation to self-control in other parts of your life.
In a world where despite the importance most people can barely manage to deal with http certificates, attempts to adopt a much more complicated technology for much more dubious use cases fell short.
False equivalency. Just because most people can't deal with a http certificate doesn't mean that field experts can't. Yet that is precisely the claim here, even the experts provide no evidence of doing anything useful with blockchain.
I have similar results for "AI". A lot of press releases and white papers but nothing that is really more than computers running algorithms.
Sorry my porn collection disagrees with you. Unless it is you think that Keira Knightley actually did do 2 guys at once on camera.
I mean you have to be a special kind of ignorant to claim something doesn't exist on Slashdot when there's examples of it existing currently on the front page of Slashdot itself.
Classification wasn't the criteria. "rich" was the criteria. And an EV can be had for less than the average price so by definition it isn't a toy for the rich and very much a toy for the average.
Volvo impact zones were great for the size and type of vehicle manufactured in a given year. That is all. There is no more to it than that.
Here's an older Volvo colliding with a small Renault POS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Unlikely the Volvo driver survives. Age and design play fare more of a role than "volvo great!"
I personally don't want to die in a car that is not much bigger then a beer can.
I know right? I'd much rather die in a giant truck that rolls over when you look at it funny is hard to steer, hard to stop. If I'm going to die I want to do it in style!
Who said imperfect and using? Nothing in the announcement did. Tesla is working on identifying vehicles and that's the extent of it. Expect the result of this to be a notification to the driver first and foremost.
Hmmm, then why call it "autopilot"? Many cars have follow the lane markings (lane centering) and follow the car features (adaptable cruise control). Why call it "autopilot"?
Because GP is actually wrong and the feature is significantly more capable. You'll also find that pretty much every other car's lane centering feature and adaptable cruise control doesn't have nearly the amount of overall control over the vehicle. The other systems are truly driver assist which require full and complete control to remain in the hands of the driver, where as autopilot is basically identical to the offloading of work and aircraft does for the pilot. It is possible to not hold the wheel for significant periods. It is possible for the system to intelligently avoid crashes (a few adaptive cruise control systems can do this though). It is possible to have the car automatically change lanes at your request. Additionally the EAP feature is both experimental and continuously updated where demonstrations have also shown that yes Tesla does already have the capabilities to handle traffic lights and stop signs. Remember this was sold as a "future" feature since day one with no actual promised dates and functionality increasing over time.
By comparison the lane centering features of most other cars can barely handle a bend in the highway if the driver isn't attentively and purposefully steering around said bend.
You're missing the story here. These bans are becoming commonplace in Europe yet depending on where dramatically changes the impact. For instance similar rules were introduced in Dutch cities. This has had almost zero impact in traffic in the inner city as people either already had modern cars or were quick to replace them. When looking to solutions to Paris the reduction in dirty diesel didn't have an affect on air-pollution so they required instead a different and more severe approach when air quality gets bad.
The news here is that when they did this in Madrid the traffic WAS affected.
everybody is talking about how bad the email was instead of the breach itself.
Not even remotely. Just because we're talking about one thing doesn't mean we aren't talking about something else. This is only one article on one site. Even a cursory search of news will show that people are very much talking about the breach itself, it's affects on people and what the company is doing about it.
Hell the most recent story on the news isn't even about the email. It's about Marriotts responses to fraud, here's one from only a couple of hours ago, signficantly newer than TFA: https://www.washingtonpost.com...
It may surprise you that people can talk about more than one thing at a time.
The whole concept that ANY email from ANY domain is in any way secure
The idea is not for an email to be secure. It's for it's content to be trustworthy and not easily mistaken for something else. The question is not where does the email come "From:". It's about where it sends users and what it instructs them to do. Going to any domain other than www.marriott.com is an instant red flag which users should be trained to identify as phishing attempts at this point.
Windows 10 IoT Core, an OS that was designed to run as the base for IoT devices. Minimum system requirements 768MB of RAM, 400MHz 3GB disk space, and a TPM chip.
I'm going to grab my popcorn. This should be good.
If Microsoft really wanted to compete, it should be getting the smallest, tightest OS they have that can still run networking
Yep. Windows 10 is a solid foundation for it. It will only require 8GB of HDD space and they'll achieve this by shipping Windows along with it's app like the 3D printing app, but by removing useless things like the registry editor and the control panel.
Remember this is a company that produced Windows 10 IoT Core for use on IoT devices and it only requires 768MB of RAM and 3GB of HDD space as an absolute minimum for the OS.
Most of them are disingenuous efforts by people who want to keep the technology under wraps, practiced only in secret back rooms available to the rich.
Horseshit. That's a small fraction of them. Most of them are due to some issue with their skydaddy and a book written thousands of years ago.
Sounds great... if you have a wide enough pipe with which to receive.
You can stream video even over ADSL 1 connections at acceptable quality. You don't need something truly fantastic. Your biggest concern isn't bandwidth, it's data caps. Areas most dependent on satellite typically also depend on crappy expensive ISPs with low caps.
Just saying what? Common knowledge? They've been recording and analysing Skype conversations for years. There are literally no new privacy implications in this.
Big Brother is truly here now. Better to ditch Skype
What are you talking about? Big brother has been known to be here in Skype for over half a decade. Not a single person will ditch Skype over this. Anyone concerned about privacy left long ago and the only remaining users don't give a crap.
Haven't we heard about the "impending" exhaustion of IP addresses now for what, at least a decade?
We have, and we've run out. Completely. No new address spaces are being issued. All gone. All allocations are in private hands, and so we have been dicing and splicing and NATing, and then NATing the already NATed just to keep the internet functional. However even that is breaking if you look at BGP table growth: https://bgp.potaroo.net/
By the way there's a magic number in there that when the BGP table hits will obsolete some older and very VERY expensive gear that is keeping the internet running.
the address format is the biggest hurdle to adoption.
What is this IP address you speak of? A user doesn't care anymore. Plug two windows computers in a network they just work by name. Plug them into a modem they talk to the internet. Even that super complicated networky thing of setting up a router has been reduced to plug it in, turn it on and type http://tplinkwifi.net/ (or whatever address your router hijacks) and it magically works.
Basically these days the need for ipaddress is obsolete for users for any reason other than diagnosing why their network doesn't work, and when they do that they often follow a guide (or a script from some flunky on a phone) without ever understanding any of the terms.
If the user sees an IP address at any point, something is broken.

Sure, banning polluting cars will drop the numbers of cars.
That depends on the city. A 32% drop is actually newsworthy. Many European cities have introduced similar restrictions with very little effect.
