US spends more time in the car because of lower population density than Europe. UK is the size of Colorado yet has 10x the population, so of course they will drive less.
Well I'm done with Chrome then, Firefox it is.
It does not :(
I hope they release more information soon, like latency and throughput for all these avx512 instructions on ice lake.

No 2nd FMA really sucks, hope they add it when they do desktop-

I can't tell from the micro architecture slide if the yellow box labeled "ALU" that is found on port 0 and 5 refers to only integer ops, or if that includes float(add/mul).

I have a 4k monitor, and to me games look much better running in 4k than 1080p or 1440p..

Particularly 1080p just looks like blurry ass, the textures have no detail, objects in the distance are harder to identify--

Even 4k still looks blurry compared to the real world..so I think we need 8k :)

Why do they benchmark at 1080p, can't every card under the sun run games at 60fps with such a low resolution.

And no 4k ? Wtf? Shouldn't that be the standard now.

Safe to say, Trump supporters aren't traveling to europe.

Yes 3mph is the pace for slightly rough trail. On flat/smooth ground it is slightly faster. Up at altitude & scrambling the pace will drop, but the CT doesn't have much of that. The CT is high altitude but overall fairly easy grade(the CDT has much more challenging sections).

8 hrs is nothing, once you have trail legs many thru hikers will basically walk the entire day. 3*15 = 45 miles per day give or take. In CO it will be slower generally as CO is not the easiest hiking, but still 18 miles/day is very chill pace.

The CT is also only 450 miles, so when they finished, they were just starting to get in shape really. On a longer trail is it generally considered that around 500 miles is where people start to observe really obvious improvements.

I'm a thru-hiker. I'm done PCT/CDT & others.

8 hrs & 18 miles/day is pretty slow and short day. This is a novice thru hiker pace, but I doubt they were trying to set any records--

Why would an american waste time on these things? I don't know anyone that cares about these competitions or whatever they are.

That article does not convince me, scope guard + lambda appears to work just as well as finally, and is actually shorter(see tianyuzhu's comment)

I do not know if anyone has proposed it for C++, but I would be surprised if it passed given that it doesn't accomplish much.

It is fairly up to date actually

Nobody uses straight VS C++, they use pluggins such as Visual Assist.
Re:In Defense of C++ on Tuesday February 07, 2017 @02:20AM (#13587734)
C++ does not need finally, so it would not make much sense to add it. RAII is superior and is what is used instead.

Finally would likely just encourage people to write really awful C++ code.

The things you are complaining about are what make the language worth using-
LoL if Facebook's app takes 15 minutes to compile a minor change, it is because facebook has some n00bs writing that shit.
