A DB that performs no IO? Can you elaborate?

The ram issue was purportedly about battery life. The 2016 mbp uses LPDDR3 ram, which limited the device to 16GB.[0] They couldn't use LPDDR4 ram, even though it was available at the time, because Skylake chipsets didn't support it.

If the rumors are true that this year's model will use Kaby Lake, which will open up for the possibility of LPDDR4 and higher capacities.

Wow, what a great set of tips. This is also a great guide for benchmarking any software, so long as its execution is highly deterministic like compression algorithms are.

This will probably be my goto reference when someone shows me a benchmark with bad methodology. If nothing else it should give him/her an appreciation of the multitude of things that can affect a benchmark result.

Perhaps somewhat, but I think the main factor is that computers change much faster than these people expect. "No [family member], this Bluetooth mouse isn't going to work with your XP era desktop."

> As far as the routers are concerned, there's no difference between maintaining connections to thousands of individual IP addresses or just to thousands of ports on the same IP address.

Has anyone tested this? It makes intuitive sense, but things are often surprising in the performance/optimization world.

They released minimum system requirements specifically so that you wouldn't have to upgrade 9 months down the road.

clang-format uses clang's C++ parser to get a real understanding of the code, even in syntactical edge cases. Because of this, clang-format can provide more specific and contextual style rules that go beyond what astyle can do.

> I could fix it up by re-mapping ‘j’ to ‘gj’ and ‘k’ to gk’ but vim-pencil does all that and probably more for you.

Have you considered just using hard wrapping instead? Sometimes having a problem solving mindset can make one miss the more elegant solution. Since you said you don't have a strong opinion in regards to hard vs. soft wrapping, why go through the trouble of fixing an issue when you could simply make the issue irrelevant?

At this point you've already got it solved so it's a bit of a moot point, but I'm interested in your thought process here.

Indeed, but this study controlled for caloric intake.

"The total monthly calorie intake was the same for the FMD and control diet groups, indicating that the effects were not the result of an overall dietary restriction."

What do you mean? WASD on a Dvorak keyboard is awkward no matter which hand you use.
