    Most of my posts are stupid crap like this, though. My username, based on this guy should have been a hint. Even Weird Al Yankovic knows about this guy.

    Compared to the millions of fuckers who use their PS4 and XBox One to stream Netflix, crypto-mining is nothing but a little blip on the radar.

    There's the problem right there. Why is SQL accepting two commands in one line?

  15. It would have sold more future iPhones by showing current iPhone 7 users that buying an iPhone is a good value for the money.

    With this news, it instead shows them that Apple kept a feature from their current iPhone in order to make them buy a new phone, thus showing them they can't trust Apple and should pick a different company for their next phone.

    Ah, I do understand now. I agree, today's operating systems and software are bloated and inefficient and making CPUs more efficient is only part of the solution.

    If you still have your ST 1040, I'm pretty sure someone will have a floppy drive for it on eBay.

    I think it's a reflection that people always relate to what they know.

    For people who work in deep learning software, almost everything is just petabytes of data to be analyzed and classified.

    For people who work with microcontrollers, almost all of today's software is pure bloat that wastes CPU cycles and RAM.

    For people who work in security, almost all programmers are idiots.

    For people who work in design, almost everything is ugly.

    For everything else, there's MasterCard.
