One can generalize this joke and use mathematical Induction to tell infinite jokes.

If you are running a Linux distribution that uses systemd, you can check how long it takes to boot with

  $ systemd-analyze
  # if you prefer a nice diagram:
  $ systemd-analyze plot > boot-sequence.svg

My 6-year old laptop takes 7 seconds to boot (dual core i5, 8GB DDR3, SSD, ArchLinux). My previous computer used to take ~10 seconds do boot. If you don't have a bloated OS, there's no need for sleep/hibernate.

I guess Kernel/driver developers have a computer that boots fast as well, so they don't care about optimizing sleep/hibernate functionality?

That's very interesting. Thanks!

I'm curious about the Neural Engine cores. What software use this? Why would I want to buy a Neural Network coprocessor in my machine, instead of using that money for a better cpu/ram/ssd?

I'm a Physicist and open-source enthusiast from Brazil. Currently I'm finishing my Master's in Physics at University of São Paulo and working as a Python Engineer at startup in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

My Master's studies are almost done (I'm finishing the last chapters of my thesis) and I am looking for the next steps of my career. The simulations I'm writing for my Masters' are written in C++17, with Python for plotting the results. I am evaluating a Random Walk based solver for the Boolean Satisfiability Problem and studying the phase transition of random Boolean formulas.

Do you have a stash of cool magnets and shiny disks? I use dead HDD's disks as drink coasters. It's pretty cool.

I've heard a lot about Rust's "safety" things. But what are they? How does it compare with modern C++?
