@Pinboard Oh you wanted server cpus, get something in the Skylake family. Server cpus lag behind here.

@Pinboard Just get the latest processor family (currently Kaby Lake) that's all you need to know

@pwthornton @siracusa Different hardware, different positions, yes

@siracusa @pwthornton Also, vary your setup

@herecydev @samsaffron @discourse It is a free site so we eat all the hosting costs, they are working on the https if you can be patient and give it a few hours.

@adamcodega Which ones?

@herecydev @discourse @samsaffron should be involved, he set this up

@df07 @JasonPunyon @rossipedia @jc4p Wellll I have some info from multiple people and let's just say GitHub is a place that struggles internally with a lot of stuff

@seesee Qualcomm is sucking horribly

@seesee @IcarusGlider It is 3x faster *and* more efficient. Add apple official battery case for $99, plus 2600 mAh

@OffBeatMammal Just get the official battery case from Apple. That adds 2500 mAh (!)

@jernejv @chx Highly unlikely given the data I've looked at, and the battery sizes involved.

@486timetable Just put on the rocket shoes, aka official Apple 2000 mAh battery case.. done and done.

@486timetable not quite, just buy the official apple battery case and witness the xtreme battery carnage unfold

@h4emtfr @chx If the iPhone 7 had the same 3510 mAh battery it would get 16.5 hours of battery life for wifi browsing.

@jernejv @chx "The Apple Smart Battery Case has a 1,877mAh battery pack" game over man

@jernejv @chx not if you bring an external battery, or battery case, of equivalent size. 3510 mAh vs.. 1960 mAh. It ain't even *close*

@Mohamed3on @Jobeyonekenobi it is better, read the article I cited. 17% better.

@chx no, it doesn't. Far too slow, expends too much energy doing work, low IPC, can't get to idle fast enouhg.

@Mohamed3on @Jobeyonekenobi for example https://t.co/WuPCvfEwui .. 17% better.

by my calculations the iPhone 7 would deliver just over 15 hours of real world battery life with a modest 3200 mAh battery.

@riking27 white is battery size in mAh, pink is geekbench 4.0 score, CPU perf.

@shog9 @prasincs yeah Twitter is super great at responding to user needs, so that'll definitely happen ASAP

(Not directing this tweet at anyone, just a general observation. Be very careful what you reply to.)

@timoreilly 38. You will regret reading this list

@stephenpatten I just use cheap plastic thin shell cases that cover the back

@webology @issackelly @freakboy3742 it works.. I'm living it!

@cwodtke the proverbial dog that caught the bus

@cwodtke well yes, and also we now rule the earth. Look in everyone's pocket, what are they carrying? Our totem, the computer.

@cdixon mixing chess in (brute forceable) isn't wise. as for the really hard stuff, the last 10% is extraordinarily difficult, many orders of mag

@cwodtke Yes this is the more thoughtful take

@natbro @siracusa @kwiens And this is the combo heat sink / EMI shield on the Apple TV https://t.co/JeBkDAlqfF

@JasonPunyon Time to make fries per the all time greatest video

@natbro @siracusa @kwiens This seems to be the relevant image https://t.co/JhUZftQJhy

@natbro @siracusa @kwiens is it true iPad cpus have basically zero heat sink or connection to the metal case body for heat dissipation?

@chx @adrianoconnor For laptop though I go with wirecutter recs

@natbro @siracusa Wow really? I can't remember the ifixit teardowns.. can you highlight the right image?

@adrianoconnor @penartur Wait try Ali express first https://t.co/yVtr4NUELP

@Hasgaroth @alex314159 Only 16gb? Weaksauce

@marcoskirsch @siracusa @tedtodorov sure there is.. hint hint HINT https://t.co/yVtr4NUELP

@RichFelker looks like wirecutter agrees with me: $500 is the real floor. Sorry! https://t.co/gJ7PlIqn8U

@RichFelker ehhh I need a better SSD, even for a computer I'm buying for someone else. I won't do crud.

@RichFelker I can only in good conscience buy a device with a SSD, so that's the minimum price bar for me

@patio11 this is simple to prove: mail-in rebates.. *still exist*

@timbray you can do both of those things.. video, audio editing.. plenty of code UIs and apps. Even some for kids https://t.co/XRP3fd5l0N

@tedtodorov That is in the ballpark cost wise, your call @siracusa ?

@mathowie Good luck getting around term limits

@MikeStok If I could do work without interacting with other humans at all, I would, but it is impossible. Thus people are part of the work.

@patio11 Also fast, reliable, cheap.. pick one

@patio11 Reliable data storage is a crazily hard problem, though it doesn't seem that way until you try it at any scale

@sklivvz @CallMeSpits Also try developing a sense of humor

@zachcollier checking my blog post updates, about 4 years!

@betsyphd June would like that

@siracusa I don't think they're gonna phone it in (PUN INTENDED) on the A11 in the 10th anniversary iPhone

@siracusa does it? https://t.co/7ejGPd8qKC

@siracusa @RageousX I am over-undering how fast A11 is going to be in the iPhone 8. I predict utter carnage, extrapolating from previous releases.

@RageousX @siracusa 4x the price!

@siracusa I dunno, still 3x the price, right?

@ceejayoz good idea! I checked and it passes there.

@surkatty good idea! I checked and it passes there.

@siracusa What say you @siracusa, official Apple historian?

@seesharp you are up very late

@gushie Apple does not sell low cost stuff, I don't know if you noticed.. so this is very rare for them

@borisyankov the web uses all of it

@6502chip yes but those are disastrously bad tablets

In particular I want to hear @siracusa's opinion on this

@sklivvz @CallMeSpits read up on "punching down" vs "punching up" https://t.co/YmYujSV3zo

@Beschizza Who is it today?

@kevindente If by far from perfect you mean FUCKING DISASTROUS then yes

@Robot_54 It is gated by hardware speed. iPhone 7 CPU is almost twice as fast. Both were bad on Android until recently. Now Chrome JS is better

@UltimateBrent another strong candidate.. NOT YET ADOPTED!

@StevenIrby It is a mystery isn't it 🔮

@chowspecial @mathowie I guess old show "Gabriel Gray, Sylar, is a fictional character and a primary antagonist of the NBC drama Heroes. Portrayed by Zachary ..."

@mathowie who the heck is Sylar

@kevindente respond.. to what? How do you indicate what you responded to which has scrolled off 15x over?

@kevindente that's about it.. sometimes some random pic we snapped on our phones

@johnolilly some people with excellent discipline can use chat to find things, I am not one of those people.. ephemerality is a feature of chat for me

@gorirrajoe nice, working that! thanks!!

@tqbf e.g. why complain "this isn't for me!", just move on to other stuff that is for you

@tqbf not everything has to be made for me, I don't really see the problem. Lots of stuff is for other groups, other people, or just no interest

@jessamyn obfuscation of links removes Google Page Rank Juice, and that's why they did that. These were sketchy actors

@PaulBrianHarris this was on a clean box, system updates + chrome updates, zero anything else

@xor @jessamyn @grimmelm @ryanmerkley at Stack Overflow we required using pure plain links back to our CC content, not weirdo JS-inserted links or redirected / shortened links

@PaulBrianHarris make sure you have all system and chrome updates, because that WAS on a oneplus 5.

@fausto85 on the Android side, anyway. Apple's 2014 devices are often faster than 2017's Android devices..

@fausto85 The Chrome improvements help all devices but 2014 era devices are just brutally slow no matter what you do

@PaulBrianHarris they ain't gonna recognize these

@PaulBrianHarris does it matter? They're all the same SoC

The above is 1/2 to 1/3rd of what an iPhone 7 can do, but that's *unprecedented* for Android.

@Beschizza https://t.co/muG1KJekDC

@JohnONolan I'm sorry you hate security John

@benedictfritz it's really really good for claw grippers. I bought another one..

@JasonPunyon there's money in them thar bits

@philswenson @df07 assures me this will happen in early 2018.. or the studded leather gloves come off!! 🤜💥

@johnolilly it's also suuuper heavy. I hate how heavy it makes the 12.9" one I use. I had to stop using it as a cover :(

@amyhoy Trump politics discussions are a siren song for a-holes, unfortunately.. really brings 'em out of the woodwork

@johnolilly still, it is terribad compared to Surface Pro keyboard. It's only "good" if your standard is, like, typing on a piece of paper on a table

@johnolilly the claim that Apple's keyboard cover sucks is.. 100% legit though. It really does. Surface Pro keyboard cover is AMAZEBALLS

@marcprecipice @daveoflynn @cjbprime the video for it looks pretty engaging, I like the 360 degree pano view of the room always being present at top. Nice touch.

@daveoflynn @cjbprime @marcprecipice wait lol this Owl thing actually rotates to "look" with its lit camera eyes at the current speaker, that's .. a little scary? But cool!
