From a read of that article, it appears that they are feeding it analog inputs, which would imply that it is producing analog outputs. I don't know if there is a way to evaluate floating point operations on an analog system. That said, my knowledge is very cursory, and someone will surely correct me.

This is actually how I do things when working on remote machines. I have far too many monitors, so dedicating on of them to a handful of btop/nvtop terminals works pretty well.

I admit that it's a less than perfect setup though, and a single program which could handle the remote connections internally and display an aggregate would be nice.

I had that attitude for a while too. Eventually you realise that having to reboot your system for a handful of games isn't worth it. Nowadays I just don't buy games that don't run on Linux.

Eventually we will reach a critical mass where game developers will actively develop for Linux, rather than being reliant on compatibility layers.

Swappable batteries resolve this issue pretty well. The energy density is far from comparable, but if you're already hauling a van or trailer to the job site, then a dozen spare batteries isn't an issue.

Are you sure you're not confusing this with the concept of "binning", which is a pretty standard practice for chips?

You manufacture to a single spec, expecting there to be defects, then you identify the defective units, group them by their maximum usability and sell the "defective" units as lower end chips. IE, everything with 24-31 functional cores gets the "extra" cores disabled and shipped as a 24 core, everything with 16-23 functional cores gets shipped as a 16 core, etc

She's been kidnapped by a wizard holding her is a temporal bubble that is perpetually 30 minutes away from you, regardless of your position or velocity. If you move incredibly slowly you can actually see her.

The bare minimum legally allowable is already the blueprint that landlords use. Have you looked at rentals lately?

Why does anyone care what time you turn up at the office? People have different sleep preferences and family commtiments. Just schedule any all-hands meetings for a mutually agreeable time and let people live their lives.

I trust my people to spend their time wisely and to self direct if we're not online at the same time. Shit gets done. Why would I fuck up someone's sleep in, or put them under unnecessary pressure when they're trying to prep their kids for school, just to have our clock-ins line up on a spreadsheet I'm never going to look at?
