@deadprogrammer @ben_a_adams And the Japanese! Who can explain that -- not even @pinboard. I think there are a *lot* of variables per country.

@deadprogrammer death rates need to come down. I'm not sure they have yet. You can google it to be sure, if you like data. If you don't like data.. roll the dice. RNGesus might save you. Might not. Hard to say.

@deadprogrammer if we only knew more about why, for some people, it kicks off a massive immune response that destroys them. In the meantime, nobody wants these lottery tickets. Ask Boris!

@deadprogrammer I feel like the "take it on the chin!" approach was already debunked by the UK and Boris "if anyone needs me, I'll be in intensive care" Johnson

@deadprogrammer it depends how much you want that lottery ticket for death, I suppose, and how many people you want to force to take that lottery ticket. With the right perspective, death is inevitable, so why bother doing anything?

Here's the google result page for same query. Note the phishing page is nowhere to be found in the results. https://t.co/1AspZpiwPx

@deadprogrammer @jgordonshare Everyone is an expert in something. For example, I am an expert at rolling dice to get random outcomes.

@deadprogrammer @babiejenks Just count deaths. Anything else is pointless. Compare to previous years

@johnolilly you did It right?

@babiejenks @deadprogrammer yes, but this data is meaningless to Michael! MEANINGLESS!

@deadprogrammer get back to me after you've watched Contagion (2011)

@deadprogrammer really? those are contagious from hand touch? news to me

@TallBlondeGuy @seesharp @chgeuer @jongalloway "Perhaps it boosts signal" yes it does. Best to acknowlege this fact, but only dangerous when you boost things you know are dangerous and/or spoiled milk. I try to avoid it entirely.

@arscan consistent, the 2600k gets 63-ish

@onthebarricade pretty close to the other result someone provided, not overclocked (see replies)

@MichaelSchmidle So on the Intel side, we've improved JS speeds 2.1x since 2011.

@onthebarricade probably OK. Give it a shot and let me know? Also let me know how much the overclock is so I can factor for that.

@TallBlondeGuy @seesharp @chgeuer @jongalloway it's the only valid reason. Certainly you should not RT spoiled milk as in "I think this milk is bad, can you taste it?"

@tqbf I want to de-learn things, is there a list for that?

@tqbf EGGS??????

@patio11 it's the very first thing I look at, but I think it has to do with whether a person is a business owner or has ever been one

@seesharp @chgeuer @jongalloway RT with commentary is generally bad IMO. You're talking over the other person rather than signal boosting them. Classic dude move.

@seesharp @chgeuer broadcast versus broadcast with commentary. Also, when you add commentary, you deny the RT the ability to get extra hearts or RTs ... which is not great. Check with @jongalloway on that

@seesharp @chgeuer well no I don't agree with that at all

@michaelkongking nag 'em!

@leematos Yeah I have a few. This was in 2018.. https://t.co/vpQnmdP3GH

@HenkPoley @hyperplanes "The first-generation AirPods, which use Apple’s W1 chip, measure latency of 274 ms. Second-generation AirPods, released earlier this year and powered by Apple’s newer H1 chip, drop the latency to 178 ms. And AirPods Pro, which use the same H1 chip, are even better at 144 ms."

@HenkPoley @hyperplanes modern bluetooth is more like 40ms https://t.co/jIvDJdRJ4z

@splattne @klimchuk It should be 1/4" headphone jack (far left) https://t.co/H4fpOIKOF5

@seriemajp 640kb should be enough memory for anyone!

@hyperplanes time for dumpster diving! That's where the *real* values are

@dhh @joshlangner There is some truth that render speed matters in this test, but render speed also matters in the real world. (Try running it from remote desktop to see what I mean.)

@jontechs @vaaheeswaran I don't expect it to be under folding@home load any time soon

@Pinboard let's hope this translates into votes for the other party come November

It liiiiives https://t.co/ZxSlngn8zR

@timbray interesting, what does speedometer 2.0 say? https://t.co/Ily3kiXmQT

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard will show up in death rates if so

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard placebo effect my friend! It's a thing! and works in the opposite direction too!

@ftrain @maureenflaherty well which is it Mr. Train

@HelgeKlein @dhh it'll still destroy battery under extended full loads

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard I've met too many people and seen too many people doing "things" to agree with this.. ever

@HelgeKlein @dhh trust me, I've been looking at this since 2014, long before David was paying attention to it ;) https://t.co/ZWZdqlTqXY

@HelgeKlein @dhh it's because the CPU is much, *much* faster. They spackle over this with "but m0ar corrreeess" but that doesn't make up for less than half the single-threaded speed (and most tasks for average people are in fact single threaded, we're not all encoding videos or compiling code.)

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard now is a bad bad time to be in the hospital. Per coworker who does ambulance volunteer work, their "frequent fliers" (implied: noisy, hypochondriac) have totally checked out, which makes sense. Being a hypochondriac is not a good idea right now..

@deadprogrammer @Pinboard wasn't serious infection already a huge problem in hospitals? Megabugs and antibiotic resistant stuff and the like? Hospitals are not a safe place to netflix and chill, man

@Pinboard @deadprogrammer well yeah obviously, being in the hospital is the #1 place to get a pandemic disease

Cheetos are not popular choices, maybe due to the orange dust?

@nicksahler I have been able to unsubscribe from every unsolicited campaign donation request so far

@migueldeicaza @jassmith87 Oh yes on laptop you are kinda stuck, thermal solutions are very difficult with lots o’ cores. Solution: always be on desktops!

@brouhaha Since then there have been a few more semi-optimistic episodes. Fighting Vipers I'd count as mostly optimistic, for example.

@deadprogrammer everclear is still in stock, isn't it? alcohol distribution is *hella* optimized

@danselstory @AndrsDev @sytses less than half the price it used to be!

@jwz @Mike_DP4 @migueldeicaza I don't necessarily want to die on this particular hill but I will accept some wounding

@jwz @Mike_DP4 @migueldeicaza It makes sense that wireless would be the default. And there's really *zero* headphone dongles in the entire world with acceptable audio quality? I mean can't we page Neil Young to fix this, or something?

@Spinchange @jwz @Mike_DP4 @migueldeicaza so get a nice dongle with good sound quality? Do they not make such a thing?

@jwz @Mike_DP4 @migueldeicaza *do* they all fuck up the sound quality though? I ran actual tests and most people can't even HEAR PROPERLY, so it's difficult to take this criticism seriously. Examine the data yourself! https://t.co/2Tvwyrj4bF and https://t.co/8vIWiVlR2s

@jwz @Mike_DP4 @migueldeicaza what I don't get about this is for people who really want the jack, there are adapters, right? So carry the adapter and use it. People hate on wires for a reason. Hell I use a wired mouse myself

@Mike_DP4 @jwz @migueldeicaza You can't fight the future, my friends. We don't want floppy drives. We really, *really* don't.

@mortenmertner @kevindente it has to be this! the cameras and stuff

@paulg @lisperati cc @deadprogrammer

@balpha @lizardbill 👏

@kevindente probably a supply chain / timing issue. Not sure why they felt they had to refresh it rather than simply waiting. What'd we really get? 6GB of ram versus 4GB? Very minor GPU improvement? Why did they bother?

@jwz @migueldeicaza bring the floppy drive back, you animals!

@balajis @davidlee climate change has to come first

@vbailescu @Pinboard @kelseyhightower I count three words! ;)

@stshank @timbray I feel all approaches have pros and cons. Face unlocks also more (!) secure than fingerprint per Apple, and IMHO easier than fingerprint. But in an era of masks, the ground rules have changed..

@timbray not with gloves on, it ain't. But gloves aren't recommended as much as masks, to be fair..

@cwodtke @scarequotes I hadn't on this particular one, no

@scarequotes @cwodtke I hadn't seen this one.. what's the story?

@villi @discourse note that I am very intentionally not on Facebook or Instagram (or anything Facebook-eded) so there is that ;)

@villi we run a large open source project (@discourse), so I respectfully disagree. If you are open source you kind of *have* to be on GitHub, just like people *have* to be on Facebook or Insta these days.

@lizardbill yeah me too

@kwiens @thomasfuchs @carlmalamud It is a delight 👏

@deadprogrammer I have had active trouble making time for media, just pandemic things I guess

@villi it's a sign of strength as I read it. GitLab was always an open source clone of GitHub, so it's on them to differentiate.

@AndrsDev @sytses yesterday it was $9 per month per user for same service, wasn't it?

@rory_blyth Time to set a new record! 💯

@kdevine7800 incorrect

@zkrige dot gif

@Pinboard oh so you WANT three Trump terms?

@sharp_warrior definitely not the port, same port works fine with the other 4 devices.

@Pinboard @kelseyhightower this'll be easy

@chriskapilla that is the case though

Yep, just 1 out of 5, as you can see from the above graphs, had an issue. So I reproduced this.. sort of? I also got ~100-150mb/sec write speeds on the other four. https://t.co/m0ASvzYzyA

Turns out just the one drive is sketchtown. Wirecutter tried to warn me, but one out of five ain't bad?

@dwcares no, these are distinct copies, not competing for bandwidth. they are copying from 500+mb/sec read source

just plopped in a third one to test, again, identical, from the same batch of 5 that arrived in the mail https://t.co/T9EE4GjdEy

@deadprogrammer isn't there worse rates of survival for CV-19 on respirators? 🤔 https://t.co/2jfqhK0upR

@freeconlon @paulg try a Kindle! All reading, no distractions

@betsyphd too beautiful, you exceeded the beauty sensor levels, clearly ;)

@Carnage4Life That's So Republican®

@siracusa yes! I bought this from Epic games store, need to play it

this also underscores the truth of "to properly give others remote work, you must do remote work yourself". To be fair, NOBODY (nobody sane, anyway) was ever thinking of 2nd and 5th grade as remote work scenarios! It's a massive conceptual leap. 🦘

@deadprogrammer it's Babe! 🐷

@donpark cc @deadprogrammer

@Pinboard They must be punched in exactly the way I prefer

the ankle shake is .. surprisingly difficult to do. Try it!

@johnolilly yeah it's trending down from the last 2-3 episodes :(

@johnolilly somehow I have not had a ton of time for media which I can't .. explain? 😵

@johnolilly urgh I dread watching this show now, and not for the good reasons like I dreaded watching Breaking Bad
