Why are said people using a 64-bit CPU in the first place, then? Let them use a 32-bit ARM CPU or something, and stop gimping the x86_64 architecture.

Let me start playing the worlds smallest violin.

Of course, because it couldn't be some naive, young, female programmers. Girls can't do anything wrong, after all.

Autocompletion I can do without (or with, it doesn't really matter to me). But I must have syntax colouring; it makes it so much easier to scan code looking for a certain pattern, that it's now painful if I look at code without it.

I actually have a specific interest in this topic, since I'm an instructor in Computer Science, and we are currently comtemplating just such a move. Similar to you, I'm always amazed at the number of students that are completely lost without the IDE. They want to load up this huge, multi-gigabyte monstrosity of a program (Eclipse, etc) to write a 50 line Java program. Just boggles the mind.

You don't mean 'decimate' either, as that simply reduces by 10%. I think he meant 'annihilate'.

No, they didn't make it up. Just because you don't agree with an opinion, you can't say it is made up. I've also tried compilation in Linux in Windows, and it is much slower. I've determined it's at least related to the abysmal disk I/O speed in Windows compared to Linux. But it _is_ a real problem, and isn't just 'made up'.

But as capacities increase, we want to create higher and higher resolution videos, so we need the capacity back again.

Pretty sure there's a law or something about that ...

What about you have analytics turned off, and don't own a cellphone, and have never had their picture online. Yes, I know it's considered odd nowadays, but I don't (and won't ever) have a cellphone.

Except in the case of Quebec and Canada, French is mandated in all English-primary provinces, but English doesn't enjoy the same privilege in Quebec. So Quebec'ers, special snowflakes that they are, require French in schools, signage, etc everywhere in the country, even in the smallest town/village that has probably never (and probably *will never*) see a French person. Meanwhile, if you try to even speak English in Quebec, they will ignore you. And if you suggest that all signage also include English (as they require for their language in the rest of the ENTIRE country), it amounts to sacrilege.

Personally, I don't think even the French themselves (ie, people actually from France) are as conceited and stuck-up and the French in Quebec.

I had to add "rcu_nocbs=0-15" to the grub kernel arguments. I'm running an 1800x and RX480, so not too different from yours. Previously it was locking up at least twice a day, now it hasn't had one lockup in over a month.

The "point" is that Intel, Microsoft, and many large 'technical' corporations are apparently more concerned with marketing than technical prowess. Consider that Intel spends more on marketing each year than AMDs entire R&D budget.

Maybe if they spent half the time, energy and money on technical stuff as they do on slimy marketing, this issue wouldn't have happened in the first place.

But 4.14.11 doesn't include the fix that disables slowing down AMD processors. That one has been committed for 4.15, but there should also be a 4.14.12 to fix it there too.

This is probably a waste of time, but ... When you're typing a message and say "see the p.s. below", it means you _know_ at that point that you will be having a p.s. But in that case you could just place the text where you are, and not _need_ a p.s.
