Doesn't surprise me that a developer from Microsoft doesn't understand this. To this day, when I select "Update and Shut Down" in Windows, it only actually shuts the computer down about half the time.

There are some tasks that only can be done when the majority of the system is not in use. Windows prepares the files, reboots, does its thing in a preboot environment, then it actually shuts down.

The forced day-night cycle timer perhaps?

Better still they had actually taken it and put in into production in place of the code that CTO had written, and which was the basis of the “correct” solution.

The test was just a set-up for free work.

From the description he put on the per track pages he just added a bunch of equalizers, compressors, stereo imaging shapers and increased the BPM because why not. Oh and also he added "audiophile grade" to the title for good measure.

I'm tempted to flood our Kconfig files with tabs just to prove a point, but let's not make a mess where it's not needed. However, if this idiocy persists, don't be surprised if I start tabbing everything in sight.

This is genius.

My server is from 2012 but it’s got dual hexacore Xeons

So it idles with a 250W power consumption?

announcement of a complete rewrite, which means we’ll never hear of the project again

A complete rewrite/redesign actually happens but with half of the original app's features missing

Windows has been doing prefetching and caching all the way from 7 but even more so since 10. Also since 10 it does memory compression too.

So, to anyone who doesn't know, Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it. More info in the thread. Please share to other VAs.
