There's a zillion things you can estimate this way. A lot of sites use sequential cookies, user IDs, etc. Until about a decade ago UPS tracking numbers were sequential for each shipper which made it trivial to estimate output for online shops. Apple invoice numbers used to be dense and sequential and you only needed the number to retrieve the invoice. The IMEI is actually just about the worst way to have estimated iPhone sales in 2008; at that time you could literally have crawled Apple's website for every invoice whether sold online or in stores.

It's also pretty similar to `perf timechart`

Seems like for C++ builds you are always going to want the most cores for the money, even if the single core performance is a little worse.

True, Intel's part numbering scheme has passed beyond all reason. Think about the i9-9900K/KF. Existing SKU, in stock at Newegg for $479. You don't get quite as many cores but you get a lower price and higher single-core performance, and it exists right now instead of being unobtainable hypeware.

The 9980XE is just a really large/fast Skylake CPU. Skylake is years old. If you wanted this level of performance from Intel you could have ordered the Xeon Gold 6154 way back in 2017. It seems fair to call this a 2-year-old part.

A more comparable part would be the i9-9980HK.

In the West most "ranchers" are just running herds on BLM leases. It is not "their property" by any definition. By contrast virtually all ranches in Texas are on private holdings.

Article doesn't indicate the road is private. How do you know?

As a backcountry motorcyclist I'm accustomed to coming upon roads that are "private" because some rancher decided to hang a sign but in reality it's a public right-of-way. Also as a backcountry motorcyclist I'm smart enough to not drive a Prius down a mud trail. Not sure what is wrong with people today. We have more information than ever, we should be making better decisions than ever, but the truth is the opposite.

Alternate title: Until recently Brave was orders of magnitude slower than other blockers.

Is that true across the nation? I know California isn't the whole energy market but their renewable energy mix is solar, hydro, fission, wind, geothermal, and biomass in that order. It's true that non-hydro, non-solar sources are larger than hydro+solar, but not by a lot and none of the renewable supplies are carbon-intensive.

Wind, by the way, is growing much faster than solar in California and could be larger than solar within a few years.

Chandler is as related to the person responsible for putting musl in Fuchsia as are any two randomly selected software developers from anywhere in the industry. Having to disqualify someone from moderating a mailing list based on the union of all the conflicts of interest of tens of thousands of unrelated people is very silly.

That can’t really be the reason because SF has approved numerous such mergers and expansion of gigantic single-family structures and they steadfastly forbid subdivision of buildings no matter how large into duplexes in the vast majority of the city. The city’s actions indicate that detached single-family structures are the strongly preferred type.
