I still use mumble with friends for general voice chat.

I really wish more games implemented its MumbleLink API for positional audio between clients. https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Link

For example, GW2 implements so people sound relative to where your characters are if they are on the same map. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/API:MumbleLink

The API has also allowed for other tools such at GW2 Tactical Overlay (http://www.gw2taco.com/) to present additional positional information.

We spend so much space on parking. Our local hospitals most recent achievement is a new parking lot. More floor-space than the rest of hospital, and bigger in footprint than all the rest of the campus. Future archaeologists will probably think we were a society of sentient cars that kept people as pets.

"This animated short proposes what many earthlings have long feared -- that the automobile has inherited the planet. When life on Earth is portrayed as one long, unending conga-line of cars, a crew of extra-terrestrial visitors understandably assume they are the dominant race. While humans, on the other hand, are merely parasites. An Oscar® nominee, this film serves as an entertaining case study."

I think it's just as much Intel just not having competition/incentive to improve as it is Moore's Law.

Until Ryzen forced Intel to get off their asses there was very little performance improvement generation by generation in intel processors.

For example: Over 2011 - 2017 there was a ~18% (userbenchmark) improvement in the *700 i7 model.

But then Ryzen came out and the very next model (released in the same year) was already a ~23% improvement.

The "Ryzen forced Intel to get off their asses" portion is definitely in full effect here. It got Intel to move from 4 to 6 cores on the *700 i7 part.

However, both in the SC Mixed results on the benchmarks you linked, and in individual benchmarks at Anandtech ( https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2255?vs=2127), the single threaded results track previous generations.

Intel still had to go wide to increase performance due to competition from AMD. They didn't increase generational improvement on their individual cores.

Where in the world do you live that you still have data caps?
ethebubbeth · 8 years ago
Cox Communications added a 1TB cap on all service tiers, including gigabit, four months ago here in Arizona.

It's $10 per 50 gb beyond that, or $50 for supposedly unlimited that I used to get in the base price.

Really love the site and bookmarked. For an anime movie fan it's tough to find a nice place that does all the things you guys do in a user-friendly way, so this is epic.

Highest audience rated animation from Japan between 2000 and 2014? Bam, there you go. That's how you help people. :)

So thank you for making this. If you need any extra help / feedback in return, lemme know.

Checkout http://hummingbird.me/ for anime reccomendations. It's a similar idea.
