Assuming you're talking about a current-generation Macbook or Macbook Pro, the difference in performance between the two models you cited (2.3 GHz w/ 6 MB L3 cache vs. 2.7 GHz w/ 8 MB L3 cache) will make, roughly, between a 2% to 15% difference, depending on the exact workload. It's definitely no...
How does this work? How can a C99/C++11 variadic macro be implemented to expand to different things on the sole basis of how many arguments are given to it?

If you have 30-35 volts being pumped out, and you want to step that down to 12V, how would you do that if the voltage coming out isn't always constant?
To describe cache locality: imagine two different people eating at two separate buffets, which are laid out as long tables with varied dishes on them. They're both really hungry and will eventually clear out the buffet table. One of them eats 100% of the potatoes before touching any of the other food, while the other takes 1 spoonful of each item on their plate, eats that, and repeats. The guy who eats exclusively one food at a time before clearing it out would have excellent cache locality in his "algorithm". The one who eats a bit of everything has poor cache locality. — allquixotic44 secs ago
In response to the thread about cleaning up company tags, I've cleaned up the Norton tag. What do I do now? Do I need to make some kind of request regarding it so people won't be able to use it? Do I just leave it as is? meta.superuser.com/questions/8402/…
weird the link doesnt show it like i saw it. oh well
I must have the enhanced price cookie :-)
the new X99 boards are out, with that chip item using 2X the power of a normal haswell (and i think the power stuff on boards becomming cheap and lasy) 2 people have Fried thier boards in reviews, one a MSI and one a ASUS.
one the mosfet was cooked , which may have been related to a shorting via a MB trace wire, and another it was the MB trace wire. probable (IMO) cause thin trace wires overloaded finnaly, as they cram more and more MB traces to connect stuff up
@terdon Alright. The other completed tags in the thread I mentioned seem to be altered beyond being emptied though. They no longer show a wiki option, but [norton] does.
We don't like company-only tags, and there's been various crusades in the past to purge them:
Can we get rid of the company tags?

I have some things to try that I hope will reduce the amount of interest I end up paying.
@Mokubai IF I manage to get everything sorted financially, yes. There's actually a breathtakingly huge difference in monthly loan payment (the difference between it being manageable and slowly but surely falling deeper and deeper into debt) by adjusting the amount of down payment by just a tiny amount.
It's definitely on the upper end of what I can afford, but for various reasons I'm expecting to have more money available in the future, especially in the next two years or so.
Also, because I had terrible credit and virtually no past positive credit history at the time that I took out my first car loan, even though my first car is WAY cheaper than the Volt, I got a horrible loan on my current car. I mean, it's just cruel how expensive it is (and high interest).
So hopefully getting a better loan this time will make a big difference
Yes. When I trade in my current one, even if I get a really shitty offer on the trade-in amount, it will completely eliminate my existing loan, and I half expect to have money in my hand left over.
If they offer me less than the payoff amount of my current loan, I will politely thank them, get up, and walk out.
I looked up the blue book value. I don't take insults lightly.
One way I'm trying to look at this is, it's going to save me money on gas, and if I can get the monthly loan amount down around the same amount as my current car, it's not like I'm taking on an even bigger load than I have already.
Already, with the low amount of my yearly salary, there's simply no way I could afford not to live with my parents.
I would have to eat ramen and drink tap water every day, 3 meals. No TV, no internet. Only a basic cellphone. Four roommates. And a used 2004 POS car.
That's how austere I'd have to live if I moved out.
I'd have to decline going out to lunch with coworkers due to the inability to afford it, and beg them to always drive me to meetings to save on gas.
And I'd still probably accrue increasing amounts of debt over time.
Not having to pay for a house (my parents don't either, since the house's mortgage is paid off) is the difference between living like a pauper, and living like a king, in the US. The cost of housing is astronomical.
Food and housing and taxes have continued to skyrocket in cost, while earning salaries have been more or less stagnant for the past 35 years.
Your money is worth less, and greedy executives are hoarding cash like there's no tomorrow in almost every company. Companies are imposing "austerity measures" like not having raises.
Big bosses don't want to pay more than they absolutely have to, but they don't have to worry about the people they employ because they can always hire different people
(if you add in the H-1Bs, the line extends into the millions.)
I think it's all a bunch of bullshit. Big companies aren't suffering for money. There's plenty of money. They just give most of it to the people who invest in the company, and the C-level executives. They need to stop concentrating power in the hands of the few.
They pretend like they're starving but they have a pile of gold as tall as the World Trade Center under their desk.
If -- heaven forbid -- the underlings manage to do really well for themselves and bring in a huge profit and push the company's figures into the black, that just means the CEO needs to take a bigger share of the money, in order to push it back into the red.
a large percentage of the problems people are having with the new stuff is "bent pins" it can cause every problem in a computer build in the world, from ram issues (because the controller is on the die) to the usual pci problems and all the other massive stuff connecting. Trying to get into the 2011 for me to build a computer is scarry :-)
@Mokubai It's the term for the visa card that enables foreign nationals to come work in the US.
Basically, it's every CEO's wet dream. Fire all the lazy, expensive Americans, and hire highly qualified people (whose English may suffer a little, but oh well) to do the same work, with master's degrees and PhDs, for less money than mail deliverymen.
The only downside is that your executive report will have grammar mistakes in it.
Microsoft, Facebook, etc. (and my company) hate people.
Well, I take that back. They don't hate people. But we aren't people. We're slaves.
Only C-level executives are actual people.
The rest are not worthy of moral concern.
Besides, it's always someone else's problem. "If you don't like it, leave!" Yeah, well that's great, until every single option races down to exactly the same low bar.
Our company recently... adjusted certain internal numbers used to calculate pay rates for people in most (non-executive) jobs within the company, at different experience levels, etc.
The "adjustment" involved basically an across-the-board pay cut. Fortunately, they aren't inflicting it upon existing employees -- if you make $X, you aren't going to make less next year -- but people who enter these new positions going forward (either by hiring on, or receiving a promotion) will be "adjusted" accordingly.
Let's just say the cut amount is major and leave it at that.
If you ask them for a reason, they'll just say they're following the market. We're doing what the rest of the industry is doing! We're copycats! We're part of the big hump right at the top of the bell curve! We're normal!
Well, that makes perfect sense when you think about it. See, here's how it goes (and this is really simple): Get all the CEOs of the big Fortune 500 companies together at a vacation resort. Come up with numbers for cutting everyone's pay (all the staff, that is).
Then you have one "maverick" company "adventurously" decide to implement the new numbers. Whoa, look at them! They're doing something weird! ... But then, a few weeks later, 10 of their competitors follow along. Now it's a trend!
Once you have a trend, the rest is history. The companies merely following the trend will not raise suspicion in the slightest, and the one that started the trend will be given an extra bonus for his foresight.
They probably have a lottery to decide who gets to be the maverick.
He gets an extra $5 mil from his company for starting the trend.
This is what happens when you have virtually no regulation over business. Business becomes the government. Business becomes peoples' lives, and completely controls all aspects of it. The ways and means of business eventually devolve to pure, unadulterated fascism.
puts me in mind of the 5th Element: "Sir, the politicians are worried about the economy warming up. They want us to fire 500,000 people, maybe from one of the taxi companies"
I feel like something bad is happening on my server, but I cannot tell nothing in the logs, I am clueless Does anyone know about this site senderbase.org
@meda "logs" (assuming they are on the same server) are not an actual problem for someone with sufficient access to the system and knowledge. They can just clear out their activity and restore the log file's timestamp.
What does it mean when a mail server has bad reputation, I have patched it and made sure it is not compromised. Using cisco reporting tools it shows that the server is sending out mails in high volume
they intentionally exploit a bug in a library that prevents you from debugging it
oreans.com/themida.php (though I wouldn't advise that you click on this, given the level of sophistication demonstrated by these guys; they might well install a rootkit on your system just by visiting their site)
oddly, their technology is incredibly cheap -- it's not a "Call for Sales" thing -- their most expensive license is only about 600 USD, and some of their stuff is as cheap as a little over $100.
I was expecting a $2000+ slap just to get in the door
