I almost died in April 2017 of septic shock. During that time, medical staff assumed I was unconscious and unable to recollect a single thing. I had 4 surgeries and I was on a ventilator for many days and I was on enough drugs to kill an elephant. I remembered everything. Including some VERY personal conversations from certain staff members.
It was all so vivid. I can't discuss most of it thanks to an ongoing malpractice suit against the hospital that caused the issue to begin with...however. Never assume your loved one doesn't hear you. They do. They hear you. They also hear the medical staff talking about their so called 'day' as they turn you, change various 'things', etc.'
amd needs to have a server system for the users that don't need the full EPYC but still want to have server class hardware. They systems in the $1000-$1200 range (the server case + PSU can be $100-$300 of that price) Or just towers at $800-$1000 with an server board (IPMI) and maybe have the X16 (CPU) slot cut into X8 X8 + X4 or even X4 X4 X4 X4 X4. So storage (HBA / Raid card / pci-e) and networking (10G). And be better then the intel ones at the same class that only have X16 + DMI on the cpu that have less cores.
Except EPYC CPUs have fairly similar pricing, so why not just go with EPYC?
They haven't even figured out how to implement proper support on mobile devices and they are raising the price? Hah!
On Android, their only real 'supported' method is using Android accessibility services that drastically slow down the device and reduce battery life (it's meant for REAL accessibility needs like blindness, etc.). If you try to avoid that option your only other options are a glitchy Android 2.3 era keyboard or their internal browser. Thanks, but no thanks. The password manager built into Chrome or the Samsung browser may be far more limited, but it works better than lastpass...don't get me started on the fact that Google is rumored to be toying with a universal password manager for Android internally.
(I don't mention Apple here because outside of a Macbook Pro and Mac Mini I use for dev work, I don't use anything Apple creates at all, so I have no idea if the situation is better/worse over there).
Your problem is yourself. You hate change. Microsoft changed stuff, so you installed a bunch of 3rd party tools to revert back. There is nothing wrong with the Windows 10 UI. I personally find it to be an improvement over Windows 7, and definitely another leap beyond and Linux desktop distro (I still have yet to find a distro that will detect compatible resolutions of any monitor hooked up and let you switch between them without some archaic command line and/or config file change...come on guys, it's been more than 20 years! Even Windows 3.x got this one!)
"but overall most folks who are purchasing lumber at home improvement stores know that the so-called trade sizes don't match the actual dimensions of the lumber."
I'm a self admitted DIYer, but I've purchased lumber from Home Depot and I've been with a pro to purchase lumber before. Both times the exact dimensions were ordered and received. If the pro I was with suddenly received less than what he requested, he probably would have filed a suit himself.
VS code is not a bad editor. I don't count in megs these days since I have a few dozen gigs of RAM and more than a TB of storage. I guess some people are still on 386 chips...
Oh and *VIM* is far better than Emacs...
Xbox One X is Scorpio (Check your sources). Also, the One and the One S are exactly the same...The One S is simply smaller. All games made for the One X will work on the one
No? What you described and what is allowed in the US are vastly different versions of each other. Drug companies ARE allowed to advertise their offerings, but they aren't allowed to claim they are recommended by doctors and must include all of the side effects, etc. Most drug commercials ere are depressing reminders for those of us who don't suffer from such conditions.
Honest to god. The people that USED to visit this site were developers...This clearly isn't the case anymore. I got into this industry making close to $100,000 15 years ago without even so much as a college education, I make far more then that now. I don't worry about the couple extra bucks a cell phone plan costs. I just want it to work. What happened to the developers of slashdot? Because pandering over dollars isn't what we have ever done. I am not defending Verizon at any rate. If a carrier actually had better coverage I would switch...even if they costed more than Verizon. I've tried. Multiple times. I always went back to Verizon. Yes, their plans are shit. Their data limits are crap, etc. At least I have internet when I'm on vacation in the middle of god knows where and need to know what restaurants are open. On the RARE off chance my work does follow me home, at least I can remote in and help them through some god forsaken emergency. I guess it's true, Slashdot really has lost it's target audience to Reddit.
I honestly cannot figure out how to respond to this. The very nature of this post describes why Linux as a whole faces severe challenges in adoption in not only the world of the desktop, but also in the server market as well. You know what? You call bullshit on alpha level code (insider fast builds are 'alpha' builds...and outside of Windows insiders, no party has received these builds) and I call bullshit on Linux in general. I am DONE with Linux as of now. The community is far too elitist for me to deal with. To this day Windows runs better on all my hardware than Linux does. I only supported Linux for it's principle and it's freedoms. Let's be honest here, my Macbook Pro runs Windows better than it runs Linux. I am more than happy to support open source to the end, but posts like this show me exactly where Linux is failing...it's user base. Windows + Ubuntu alone will claim year of the desktop. No other. I'm sure that some poor idiot will claim victory out there...but the only victors here are Ubuntu and Microsoft. No other.
Oh it goes FAR deeper then that. Many of these companies know a lot more about you than even YOU know about you. Forget browser fingerprinting. Forget tracking. Every piece of information you give away to every advertiser or company allows them to individually put together pieces of information about you. What you don't realize is that even if you use incognito mode all the time, change your user agent, etc. they can track your HABITS. They can track your LOCATION via the IP address you use to visit. They can even track you based on on the type of porn you look at. This information might not be worth much by itself, but it all gets fed into a system that grades it on it's quality and uses the results to identify you, profile you, and then find you (I say 'a system', but there are several competing products out there) and sell personalized products/services to you or worse. Even if you use a VPN 24/7/365 someone likely has a handle on you. It might not be a good one at first, but they will build a profile, and combine it with other data/profiles...and eventually they'll be able to tie it all together. You might think that staying off the internet can help you, but at this point, the world has become so connected that anyone can be found and identified. Have a drivers license? You are on the radar. Get a ticket/go to court/sue anyone/get sued? On the radar. Use a credit/debit card or checking account/ACH? DEFINITELY on the radar (even if your bank has a decent privacy policy, Your transaction crosses several different boundaries, so it's impossible to guarantee your privacy when doing a financial transaction of any kind except MAYBE cash...and even then...)
Note to self, large fortune 500 companies and the US coast guard are considered to be 'bottom feeders' these days even though they all pay for accounts...what i'm trying to get at ever so politely is that you should probably read the article before you comment.
Yes it is. I've never seen a quality Java web app, desktop app, etc. Even android apps have issues with speed, memory usage, and battery life. I've worked with Java and.NET (among other things) for a long time, and I'm amazed they haven't both disappeared into oblivion.
A lot of Java developers will try and defend the architecture by saying exactly what you said. However, I want you to find me a single sub-100-ms web app (one that actually does something far more complex than serve static html) that can service hundreds of millions of users on minimal hardware.
Firefox tends to be buggy. I have run both chrome and Firefox for long periods of time without closing either/or on the same system...Firefox either blows up (crashes, FF windows stop rendering, or it just stops working) or eventually just quits for no reason at all. I've had the same chrome session running nonstop for a while now. Longest stretch of time was 5 months. The only time I restart it is for an update. I've never had it crash or blow up. I was one of the earliest users of Firefox as well...I used it since the very first build was released...long before it was called Firefox. The problem is that the Mozilla team has not spent enough time stabilizing it and working on speeding things up. Firefox STILL doesn't have a reliable 64 bit build, multi-process tabs, compatibility with webkit css etc. Mozilla needs to reinvent themselves again...before they become irrelevant yet again.

What's really sad is that this plan has almost nothing to do with H1B. I'm surprised they even have an issue here.

I hope you don't mean a Linux based OS, since we all know how that turned out...
Your problem is yourself. You hate change. Microsoft changed stuff, so you installed a bunch of 3rd party tools to revert back. There is nothing wrong with the Windows 10 UI. I personally find it to be an improvement over Windows 7, and definitely another leap beyond and Linux desktop distro (I still have yet to find a distro that will detect compatible resolutions of any monitor hooked up and let you switch between them without some archaic command line and/or config file change...come on guys, it's been more than 20 years!

1) Post Windows 10 hate article on Slashdot. 2) ??? 3) Profit!
Oh and for what it's worth, we have no income tax either.
We have free community college here in TN...and I assure you that nobody works for free here.

Slashdot must really be going down hill then. I remember when a link from Slashdot meant a windfall. A HUGE windfall.

It just lowers my bid. Amazing how well competition works.
Hilarious, as I just got done watching S3 E4.

Denmark is smaller than even a single of the 50 states in the United States of America. This is not a comparison.

Only because that they live in a world where the only way to stop a car is by dragging your feet Flintstone style. YABBA DABBO DOO!
