When looking at a comparison of an Intel i3-4370, and an Intel i7-4790k (coincedentally, the score difference is about double...), you'll notice that the 4790k actually gets about double performance at 88W, in comparison to half the performance of the 4370 at 54W. This shows that the efficiency of a 4790k is actually greater than a 4370. Part of the reasoning behind that is because while the cores and the threads double (As well as the Smart Cache), the GHz ratio lowers overall, even though the 4790k has a higher clock rate. This makes the efficiency of the CPU much better than the i3 being compared.

So realistically, the i7 is actually a better option when using CPU intensive tasks, while the i3 is preferable when doing simple tasks such as browsing online. So while the maximum watt draw of the i3 is a flat amount, the i7 can potentially draw 30W more, which could cause a significant drop in battery life.

Another issue with watt usage could be because of the extra 2 cores. The i7 would basically be keeping both cores powered and ready, which could cause some extra watt usage even when not needed.

Look into Power Options, as well as CPU throttling and turning off cores if the extra Watt usage is that much of a bother.


Summarization of Article: A person writing about a professional, the professional who, based on this article, lacks emotional empathy because: Let's face it. Companies will ruin your life if you trust them with your time, energy, and interest. They are only looking out for themselves, and by the looks of things this specific company decided to write and Article just to make themselves look better.

Management's skill levels are typically lower than expected, and beyond disappointing. The person who was hired clearly took the direct approach, and is now moving on to a different job.

The sad part of this story is the "Resume" or Curriculum Vitae only shows the negative part of the situation, and not the positive part, such as a great individual leaving what seems to be an amateur company/business.

This is just some random person being, as usual, disappointed by the actions of the generation that should be labeled as child-like.


I choose not to click or work with anything Apple related. Ignores Apple url. The previous sentence leads to a much more positive outlook of the future of Technology.

At least this "Buggy, Half-Built Game" will allow for more than 30fps.


Just to summarize the article:

People doing a "non physical" experiment, while using physical proof methods.

This is scientific comedy at its finest, people.


Yeah, because professors of philosophy and epistemologists toil for years about the subject, but some 2-minute comment shows it for what it is...

You even got the facts wrong. They are not doing a "non physical experiment". They are proposing a thought experiment -- you know, the kind lots of scientists did, Einstein and Shroedigger among them.

The "non physical" part is just that it tries to establish that there is "non physical" knowledge (qualia). That is, nothing about the experiment as a process (as opposed to the output) is necessary to be "non physical"...


> They are proposing a thought experiment -- you know, the kind lots of scientists did, Einstein and Shroedigger among them.

Neither Einstein nor Schrodinger "did" thought experiments. They used thought experiments (which is a really terrible name for imaginary scenarios) to motivate arguments and guide thinking, not to demonstrate anything.

No one who has been paying attention to the history of knowledge uses thought experiments for anything other than illustrative, explanatory or motivational purposes. In particular, the conceit that imaginary scenarios can teach us anything about the way reality actually is long outdated, as no such imaginary scenario has ever done any such thing.

Relativity was motivated by thought experiments, but so too have been numerous false ideas. Therefore thought experiments can do nothing to distinguish false ideas from true ones, so anyone who uses them for that purpose is doing them wrong.


"we just can't memorize unique, strong passwords, for every single on-line service out there"

... right. Apparently we don't speak in a language with an absurd amount of subtle differences that need to be remembered (one example is punctuation, and all the subtle rules with punctuation as well). We also apparently don't memorize other things such as face recognition, navigation, mathematics, physics, x amount of movies, actors, actresses, favourite foods.

Unfortunately, according to the article, we can't remember around 50 to 100 twenty digit passwords with pieces of singular information we already have memorized.

The article looked promising, oh well.

Also, the article is supporting password managers. Which is the equivalent of thinking that a smart idea would be to basically archive all of the password information into one tiny little hackable program.

Yeah, great plan. Is this really coming from someone with these kind of credentials?

Do you tell this to people in an interview? [sarcasm] I bet they'd hire you on the spot if they heard/read this [/sarcasm]

Do tell, please. Not sure if a troll or just really ignorant with the uses of OOP and "clean code". Original Poster probably also doesn't leave documentation in his code.


Decided to stop/stuck too long (around 5 minutes) at Level 21, which is pretty disappointing for me.


I believe in knowledge, does that count? Seems to be quite the rarity around these parts called... "Earth"


This feels, and looks, like all of the... unusual 'preferred' taste/quality music videos mixed in a blender and then slathered all over a woman with a typical figure for these types of videos.
