When your CPU is motivated and gives more than his 100%

Is java reaching multiple dimension to pull extra cpu power?

CPU abbreviation

CPU is just a Rock.

"The most important skill in life is mitigating frustrations, but please don't get good at it — your suffering is hilarious"

— Girlfriend, while I was trying to fix her CPU cooler.

I realized immediately she just explained why this community exists.

There is. My latest creation. A 8bit microcontroler made in minecraft.
Features:
(1.0 version without control room)
-8bit full adder + overflow flag
-8x8bit RAM
-16x8(4bit instruction, 4bit address)
program memory
-64 possible microinstructions (16 instructions with 4 step each)
-uncondintional and if oveflow jumps
(place determined using address written with instruction)
-1/3Hz clock speed 😨

New working version (2.0) has 1Hz clock and new faster instruction decoder.

In 3.0 in addition to that useless bus was replaced with 16x8bit "hardware" stack that can store adresses and data. The clock is going to be yeeted out because it is unnecesary #clocklessisbetter (WIP tho)

Might add more documentation and post it as learning model for CS wanabees 🤔. What do you think?

Picture: Old working version 1.0
(the only one with fancy diagram)
Newer version screenshots in comments.

Love how a teacher of mine described IO wait for CPUs on a blackboard.
"That's calculation time." *draws three small lines on the blackboard* And this is IO wait. *draws a really long line, goes out of the class, out of the school, comes back* "Yes, this is IO wait. No matter how good and fast your CPU in your gaming PC is, if your hard drive is shit, everything is shit."

Poor little CPU 😁

Just realized I'm using an almost decade old Acer aspire laptop for programming. And its still useful because Linux.

I do push-ups and sit-ups whilst running long running CPU-intensive jobs so that I can feel the burn along with my CPU.

Holy s**t, I was wondering why my fans were noisy and my computer so warm lately. So I checked inside to see this. The CPU fan is fucking resting on the graphics card like Dr House on his stick.

Interesting point of view 🤔

And so I was wondering why is my cpu fan so loud...

Look what my dad just found under his combat boots... *cries in pain*

The Great Escape. by Apple!!

Computer sitting idle, CPU fan is on and my computer is heating up...

".NET optimization service: 20% CPU"

ITS NOT A FUCKING OPTIMIZATION IF IT TAKES 20% OF A FUCKING I7 TO RUN!!!

Thank you Java Visual VM... Apperently my program is so good that I now have 8 times my processing power...
That's very useful

Hollywood be like

"Oh no they shot a hole in my CPU, let me just rewrite the code so that it works again. I'll be 5 minutes."

Who would win?

Does anyone recognise my new gaming PC with 64 KiB RAM and 'blazingly fast' 1MHz CPU ?

Found this at my school in the broadcasting department. It makes me mad on many levels

Look at this! I finally succeeded in running C code on my shitty TI-83 calculator with a Z80 CPU. This is a huge improvement as I made whole games for that thing with assembly before! 😁😍

"The CPU is the brain of the computer" is CompSci's version of "the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell"

I am staring at my PC and now, my heart beats at my CPU's clock...
😂😂

I love the smell of burning cpu

Me: doing light browsing.
CPU Fan: increases frequency like crazy.
Me: opens task manager.
Windows 10: 60% cpu usage.
Me: sort processes by cpu usage; sum does not match.
Me: closes iTunes update window.
CPU usage: drops to less than 10%.

The update had already finished and the CPU usage was 60%!!!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, APPLE?

Sell a 2000€ laptop with all the ram cpu power 4k display you name it.
Throw in a 5400rpm mechanical hdd as standard.

Didn't know I can overclock a VPS

When your program eats RAM or CPU

Finally finished my AMD Watercooled build 🤤
Now my code can run cooler 😂

CPU - Ryzen 3900X - stock

RAM - Corsair Vengeance 32 GB 3600 Mhz

Mobo - Asus ROG Crosshair Formula VIII

GPU - MSI GTX 1080ti 11GB GDDR5

Abstract CPU cooler art. Found this in my school tech room. No idea how it happened

!rant
The first computer I used for serious programming. Z80 CPU, 32kB ROM and 32kB RAM, 5.25" 320kB floppies, and the year was 1982.

This is Beast!

I've always been a tech fan....

I guess cooling down CPUs is just my thing...

"Can I use toothpaste for my CPU cooler? I ran out of thermal paste."

-_-;

My new workstation. i7-4790k, MSI h81m-p33, 16gb DDR3, AORUS RX580, ADATA 128gb SSD, WD 1tb Black Drive, CoolerMaster V1000 1000W PSU.
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and Windows 10 Pro

Just added Kotlin plugin to my new android project and what do you know, CPU went to 100% of usage.
Aaand the winner is: Fucking Android Studio!

**A thief never says that he has stealed**
~You can relate norton AV's warning and this~

The best thing about Java is that you can cook French fries on your CPU while running the JVM

Windows server 2016 it is not so bad, but updating requires 101% of its CPU.

Am I stealing the CPU of my neighbors?

Made a program to list primes until stopped. I got to about 2 billion when it took 8 GB of RAM and I more or less had to stopped it.

Only took 10% of CPU though.

*When your processor is left with no power to create a process to kill the process that's consuming all your processor's processing power.

*Notices that SMPlayer takes a lot of the iGPU and CPU*
*Relaunches SMPlayer to use dedicated Nvidia GPU*

(that last one is an actual log btw)

Alright, got it. I bought this fucking PC just for its fucking "powerful" GPU. It already locked me into using WanBLowS on that piece of garbage. Yet now that NvuDiA piece of garbage is gonna act worse than a fucking paperweight?! Seriously?!!

FUCK YOU NVIDIA!!! Linus Torvalds called your shitty cards shit on Linux.. I call it shit on every fucking OS out there!!! MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

The number of tabs opened in the browser is directly proportional to the completely of the problem! :p

Somebody is very active!

I found this poster in one of my labs at University... Why is he trying to align the CPU with the cooler before the CPU is even in the mother board.
Great play, forgot the thermal paste as well.

It seems I found the reason why our current project loads my CPU 100%

Thats how I roll..

My wife is complaining that am spending too much time on devRant. I just told her, am coming here only when windows is updating :p ;)

I realized this week that my CPU is almost 12 years old!

It's an AMD FX-8150 8core @3.6 (recently overclocked to 4ghz). It's still a good chip for my needs, but eep. I had no idea I bought it that long ago.

I really want to replace it, but that would require a new mobo, too. which I suppose wouldn't be a bad thing...

------

Unpopular onion:
AMD was comparable to (and occasionally better than) Intel before, but now? Ever since they bought ATI, they've just spiraled: virtually everything they've produced has lagged behind.

However: the Ryzen seems to break this trend, so maybe there's hope yet?

I just realized that CPU's are essentially electronic hookers, for processes.

They'll service any process that calls upon them, but keep switching between various processes so that it can spend time fairly with each of its processes. And of course, they'll immediately abandon their current process if one with a higher priority reveals itself and attend to that one instead. Once it is finished, it'll return to its less-important processes.

Kinda sounds like a hooker to me... 🤔

motherf... AGAIN?!?!?

!rant
I'm just amazed what 512MB of RAM can do :O
That's htop from my VPS I feel sorry for the CPU though.

It is running three docker containers:
1. Dotnet Core
2. MySQL
3. OpenVPN

Want to piss off the person reviewing your PR?

don't just return true or false use 1 == 1 for true and 1 == 2 for false.

Watch the glorious rage unfolds 🤘🤘🤘

Every time someone rants about Visual Studio I'm like: WTF are they talking about? it is the best IDE I ever used!!

but now after using VS 2017 I must say:
WHAT THE FUCK MICROSOFT DID TO THIS THING! IT RANDOMLY FREEZE EATS OUT ALL CPU AND NOW USES A GOOD 1.5GB RAM!

my previous experience:
barely 20% of CPU
at max 700MB RAM

Guess those days are over :\

Now Chrome has a new competitor..

How to solve windows Blue Screen Of Death.

Change the color to Green. No more BSOD. :/

Ladies and gentlemen... Can we please have a moment of silence for my PC which seems to be on her last legs...

CPU thermal throttling at 40 degrees celcius (CPU is on it's way out)
RAM is randomly having allocation errors
PSU isn't delivering optimal current
GPU only displays out of 2 DP ports

and for the very first time... Have had an SSD fail...

Pray for me people... Please

Remember, CPU is just a rock tricked to think logically!!

I wish people that made desktop apps would consider cpu and ram usage. "Oh I've just opened... ...let me index your vendor folder and check that I need to update at the same time whilst you only have 20% cpu left and 2GB of RAM remanding :D" no; fuck off. Why don't you wait until there's enough CPU power left to check for your update?

Fuck this shit. Laptop in repair. Using old PC.
Overclocked RAM.
Overclocked CPU
Overclocking GPU right now
Overclocked Monitor to 75Hz.
Fucking hell If this doesnt break it then this is fucking glorious.

My mom's laptop is always on 80-90% CPU even in idle and it is obviously hella slow and I am the one who has to work with it usually (since my mom is too afraid to use any kind of technology and can't remember any of her passwords), I tried to solve it but I came to the conclusion that the problem is probably Windows 10 itself. Okay, the hardware is bad too but still.

I started thinking about installing Linux on it, but It's not my laptop and I do not want to mess it up and I never did it before.

All these new wonderful cpu cores I work on and faster/better compiler techniques, and people use it to watch more cat videos with that power they saved and use more JavaScript per cat video.

Kill me

Go home node.js you're drunk. You don't need 441% CPU just to compile typescript

Never hack a game and change the gold value to 1.0e307.... It takes so long for my CPU to update its value whenever it changes......

This game is over 😢😥

Also always remember to take a backup before making dumb hacks....

I don't know which should make me worry:
1. the fact a gradle build for a new project is taking 90% of CPU
2. The fact CPU Freq isn't going higher than 2.18 when it can go up to 3.1?
3. The fact gradle is always taking 5 minutes to build when it used to take 1 minute for a medium project?

I've put super glue instead of thermal paste on my cpu yesterday when I was drunk... fml....

I think i fried my CPU 😵

Someone remember this little mu**erf**ker?

This happened yesterday. It was a Friday and I didn't have much time to implement something that I was asked.

I was supposed to get the cpu temperature from a host device and send it to the server. Instead I just used random.randint(x,y) (python random function) with x,y linearly dependent on cpu utilisation (cpu utilisation is easy to get).

The ability to generate random numbers on fly has to be on of the coolest things that you can do. You can almost fake anything using them properly 😅

Connect a pen drive, format it successfully. Connect to a new machine to copy data and see the data exists.

Crap! which drive did I formatted :(

For all the "Chrome uses too much RAM"

Recently got an RAM upgrade, now the CPU is too slow.

Also Rant because CPU sucks

Trying to run a process on each CPU thread in our vps only to find that our vps has just one CPU and no multi threading. :/

We need an upgrade.

I now understand why we have multi-core processors. So that a process that dun shit the bed doesn't hog the whole fucking CPU! Of course at the expense of "yeah our shitty software can hog the CPU no problem, there's now several cores anyway". Hardware solving the crap that software presents, yet again.

4x4ghz CPU, 16gb of RAM, 100mbps downstream and 1tb ssd... and it took windows only 2 hours and 4 restarts to install an update...WTF

The weird moment when your bottleneck is not GPU nor CPU but RAM.
CL22 and single channel 8gb (7Gb usable since integrated VEGA8)
Getting CL14 RAM running in dual channel and 16Gb. Fuck this is an update.

An hour before my Mathematical Expression and Reasoning for Computer Science final...

Have reviewed all the material available but past exams are useless because new_prof == new_format.

This is not even a rant, I'm just scared because to get into the major I need an average between this and programming of 82. I fucked up in the second midterm and got a 50/100. Everything was so perfect (at least above 80) and now I need more than 70 in this final. I'm feel I can get more than 70 but I had the same feeling during the midterm I fucked up.

came across this in a python blog!

Ending AMD E3.
Ryzen 9 3950X:
16 cores
32 threads
4.7 Ghz
105W
For 749$ (Intel CPU is like 1,5K$ i think)

Radeon RX 5750XT
RTX2070 + ~10 fps for 459$
Or the 50 aniversary for 499$

Not bad at all.

The driver of my SDCard reader is using over 25% of my cpu

Chrome is getting its ass whooped and then crying like a whiny bitch.
Using 90.1% of CPU.

PS: I have a i7 8th gen processor.

After seeing this "old" picture I want to let know at the guyz who are in love with AMD that before Ryzen(s) I was able to cook my fuckin' breakfast's eggs on their fuckin' CPUs.

Big mistakes brings to great solutions and shut up the fuck up AMD, probably your core code is full of vulnerabilities but no one cares about your ultra threads architecture.

Request: Need stress ball
Reason: Learning JavaScript

Java is frying my CPU right now

Is "++i" more efficient or "i++" ?

P.S. I already wasted more cpu cycles by posting this, than I would ever waste by using either of them....

Damn! Always during deadline!! :/

I fuckin love i3wm.
Especially on laptops. Not having to carry mouse around and being it so light, which saves you a lot of battery alongside with cpu/ram makes me wanna cry out of joy.

Someone once called me a hardware geek.

Uuuups.
Hot-pluged another cpu yesterday.
😎 Third one in total.

Didn't notice that the board turned on and it ran for like 5min without a cooler.😨

Poor 130W tdp Xeon.

Still runs fine in my workstation
😂

When your program works as expected... but used 25% of the CPU 😥

devRant already replace SoundCloud as my orange app in the main screen...

To be fair, SoundCloud was just there to complete the rainbow.

Rant: this app told me that my rant would be safe if I closed the Post Rant window (since I can't post more than one rant per hour or something) but it didn't save my awesome tags! I feel betrayed.

My new motherboard (MSI Z170 GAMING AC) reports temps for the memory, CPU, GPU and hard drive in °C. And the motherboard temp in °F.
Almost had a fucking heart attack the first time I opened Speccy for benchmarking.

Got new hardware for my minecraft server!

Intel I7-8068K 6 Cores 12 Threads 5.1GHz
64GB DDR4 RAM 2666MHz
2x 512GB NVMe (RAID 1)

First time I have ever used a 5GHz CPU I am so excited!

Protip: This can happen even if the socket is locked, apparently.

One of those days...

How to test your cpu cooling system:

Open Firefox
Set option CloseOnLastTab to false
Hit CTRL W and don't let it up

Watch cpu burn.

No CPU case? No problem!

What do ya think

A dashboard for a website
The cpu temp progress bar has jquery/AJAX wich outputs the cpu temperature at every each 3 second of the server wich is on a raspberry pi at the moment.

Does it look good for these days?

I propose a list of interesting readings. Not limited to developing.

Yes, I'm in need of something new to read...

I'll start in the comments, feel free to comment new readings or critique the ones proposed.

I haven't built a new computer in 9 years, but I finally, finally got together enough money to go big.

POWER: Seasonic Focus Plus 850W 80+ Gold

SSD: SAMSUNG 860 EVO 1TB
CPU COOLING: NZXT Kraken X62

I can't fucking wait for it to arrive.

We were having some complications;
Then I said, c'mon baby don't disappoint me.
Thereafter my old Pentium 4 PC booted up with ease.

Okay, so today I've taught a colleague how to use a simple office ruler to measure AWS server's CPU usage :) We needed to figure out whether CPU% spikes correlate with error message in logs an d latency spikes. Once again a ruler was the perfect tool for the job.

P.S. no, CPU% spikes did not correlate to errors in logs

Esc :/

Fuck me sideways
No not @sideways, you're not invited

My CPU is frying at 94 degrees

So I was thinking.
Everybody here knows sites that mine some currency with your PC for the dev without you knowing (Yeah sure 100% CPU).
Its not cool and they still show Ads on the fucking site.
But now imagine this the site you love the most (except devRant) give you this option:
They will clearly say that they are mining but only 20% of your CPU and for return you will not see ads on the page.
What do you think ?
Let the discussion begin !

I regret running apt-get upgrade on this fucking shitty ass laptop with a potato CPU.

Developing on a laptop with a 1.6 GHz Intel pentium with 2 cores... Pls send halp

So i started playing with fire today.
I have ryzen 5 2500U (This is Haxk20 rant if you havent already figured that out by that im playing with fire) and well its fucking 15W CPU.
I mean thats great and all but ffs 15W ?????????
I saw this CPU run with 25W in other laptops.
So i started browsing for answer and what a fucking suprise to nobody somebody already found a way to make it 25W.
The fire in this story is ACPI tables BTW.
So yeah they limit the CPU to 15W in ACPI tables so that it doesnt generate too much heat. But as my laptop can cool this CPU no issue i want to make it 30W.
Why ????
Well this CPU started having a weird issue that it went to 2.9 or even lower on load after few seconds of full load.
Normal user would think its thermal throttling but i know thats not the case as its not hitting 70C.
So whats wrong ?
It doesnt have power needed to run at that speed for long time.
IDK why it had the power before and IDC TBH.
When loading the custom ACPI table via some fucking bootloader the CPU goes to 3.07 and stays there.
AWESOME.
But as i dont want to carry with me boot usb to load the bootloader and boot it from there i want to build the ACPI table into kernel. (Doing that right now)

Ohhhh and dont worry this is temporary only as i want to see how much performance i can get from it. I seen that it could give 50% more FPS on iGPU.

Also i will be getting laptop with Ryzen 5 3550H and RX560X and selling this one. IDK when that will happen but i will surely do it since the new laptop is much better and in the same price range.

When winter comes AMD keeps me warm at night, no heating needed

You have an Intel GPU!

Then how's Ctrl+Alt+ Down Arrow doing for you!

Those mornings when your CPU is working harder than you are.

I am hyped for the upcoming AMD CPU Zen 2. 7nm baby.

1. My DataStructure teacher taught us the whole subject without a single code snippet.
2. I once had to sit and code in front of the teacher to prove that I did write the code this fast.
3. The first lab in CS bachelor's started with "This is monitor, mouse and cpu. The button in cpu switches it on". Some people still stood clueless there.

Customized CPU... ;)

While checking out CPU usage on my android a weird process called dex2oat popped up. Curious about it. I did some research. This is what I found.

Absolutely fascinating stuff

Went to buy a CPU from CeX ... maybe not!

Latest Atom with Electron 1.6 seems to be pegging multiple CPUs and maxing out ram and swap. Looks like I should start trying different editors again. :(

TechSuppDept: There is a critical antivirus upgrade we need to do...

Intellij IDEA, what in the name of fuck have you been "indexing" for more than 24 hours that keeps my CPU at a constant 200%???!

There aren't even enough files on my entire machine to justify this ridiculousness...

Few months ago i built πbook and well now its running arch Linux on btrfs partition with lzo compression and 2gb zram.
Over clocked it to 1200mhz and gave GPU 512mb of my ram.
It have intelligent fan installed so whenever CPU hits 50°C fan turns on until CPU is 40°C.
I love it I just need bigger screen since 7inch is small and well also keyboard and touchpad.

Ok seriously is Microsoft mining Bitcoin on my computer? If I leave it idle for >5 minutes it starts using intense amounts of CPU and I have no clue why (doesn't show up in task manager, all the processes added up in taskmgr are like 15% max). It's super annoying since I have a razer and high cpu turns on BOTH VERY LOUD FANS.

I checked for malware and stopped any update or useless background tasks (cortana, indexing, etc) and it has not helped one bit. If I click the screen or move the mouse it subsides immediately.

(No, I won't get a mac--I have two and they lacks compatibility with the software I need as well as the specs for what I usually work with)

When the New Windows update makes your CPU run 97% in everything...

Got a new laptop, but it was not properly working, so while waiting for it to get replaced, I have to use the old one again.

Feels like the CPU is a freaking potato!

When fixing high CPU load and unresponsive servers is a simple restart. Ugh...

Have you ever heard a CPU run? Because I have, I can hear my phone's cpu and it sounds dope af

FUUCCKKKK!! I need to hit smth. Or rant..

So that flaky ec2 issue.. These ec2s act as a shared environment for multiple apps. Our app is one of them. I have no access to those ec2s at all.

What I have access to is my app and some monitoring. Now the app randomly starts lagging while nearly idling. At the same random times monitoring stops completely and doesn't come back up. This happens to random app instances at random times.

Reached out to infra support, managed to get attention from the big boys [mgmt]. Today we got the fix deployed. I test it out -- problem persists.

I find this behaviour somewhat familiar. Managed to get some server stats from infra folks. Apparently cpu% is high as well as load avg [cpu queue]. Bingo! I know how to fix it!

So I write a long comment w/ all the commands and all the 'if that, do this'. Send it to one of the infra technitians

and I get a reply: 'we will apply cpu usage limitations to fix the issue'

wait... Cpu% limitations will do nothing but highlight the underlying problem...

'no, instances have high cpu utilisation which is causing those lags. We will limit cpu resources and it will be fixed'

oh ffs... Cpu utilization and cpu queue are VERY different things.. I tried explaining that to them like 7-9 times. And all I get is:

'yes, cpu utilization is the problem. We will limit it and solve the problem'

I would surely escalate all of this through higher channels if only I could get my hands on those ec2s and have a proof. But that is not happening and I'm forced to sit back and watch them break things even worse until they are out of options and mark my query as 'wont fix'....

Fuck that's frustrating....

*thinking to myself* so I've read about that new vulnerability 2 days ago that allows one to escape from docker container to the host... What if <...>

Man... NW.js (node-webkit) apps are a piece of garbage on Ubuntu. After wake from sleep every app is using 100% CPU or hangs. Spotify, Slack, Postman, Jetbrains Toolbox.

Hello,

spotify is lagging in ifline mode oO
really cpu at 1% (i5 at 2,5GHz) and ram around 80MB(8GB total)

A really short story (or me being dumb, idk).

Anyways, I drew quads in my native library (realized it was eating half a CPU core).
Switched rendering to OpenGL.
Result: It is so ducking faster.

Is it ethical to charge a client for the runtime of a computation? I.e. cpu time?

I usually don't, since it doesn't cost me anything to leave my machine running overnight. But a few of my friends told me that I should.

More context:
I do sometimes freelance work for professors as an RA. At times you need to leave a script running for like +5 hours. During which I just either procrastinate or go to the gym or sleep. The energy cost for computer running is barely a dollar.

I get charged by the hour per work in my timesheet, or sometime for a negotiate price which is also usually computed by the estimated work time it would take.

After ten years of working sh*t jobs I finally got the chance to study CompSci at a top university... All the kids look at me as if I've been programming for years, truth is I just study a lot because my scholarship requires me to get B+ or above.

So i started up my laptop and i look at battery. 3% oh shit time for charger.
Plugs in charger.
CPU goes on AC only up to 2Ghz and on battery turbo boosts normally. Uhmmmmmm What ?
I grab my Arch usb after a while and almost when i turn off my laptop i notice it boosts on battery again at 25%.
Hmmm this is surely weird.
So well it seems like that the CPU wont boost when battery is low. Most likely some crappy bios limit shit.

I had to disable one BIOS limit before and that was a fucking clock speed limit that limited the CPU to 1.6Ghz on battery. Like what ? Disabled that crap when i knew what was going on.

today my cpu was at 100% (red) ram at 96% (above 95 is memory leak) and disk 95% (almost no space left) bc i ran emulator 2 android studio projects chrome etc all in the same time

Why would anyone use CPU ticks for connection timeouts? Everytime that software is used in a new CPU it gets messed up. Why not just milliseconds?

just found one more *DD
RDD - Readme Driven Development
Its real google around...

:D

What CPU do you have in your computers? How much ram?

(Saturday morning)
Me: I've never been so long without exercising (since before this, my first winter), I should get in shape now that this God forsaken weather is finally reaching livable levels.

(some time later at the gym)
Also me: You've always been in good shape, why stop with just chest, let's do some arms and shoulders.

(48 hours later, Monday morning)
I had to turn my whole torso to look if any car was coming while walking to the library, moved like terminator because of the massive neck muscle pain, suffered through the pain of setting up all my study material to the realize (just now) I can't even fucking look down to my notebook... Can I be more stupid?

Even 12 gigs of ram and a i5 cpu cannot satisfy the greed of google chrome.

Meanwhile my beard is becoming more and more grey

PCB for a CPU Handwarmer

I have a new personal project that I hope I'll share with you guys one day. It just came to me. A fog simulation for a window manager such that it has fog behind the transparent console while you code and the fog goes in front when the terminal is locked. How about it?

Today my friend asked me if his Octa Core Mobile is faster than his quad core CPU...

Got my first job, 3rd year student from my country took me in to help making an app for a company in Texas... All the other guys are from 4th year or graduate school. Feeling nervous, let's hope I don't fuck up.

You know apple has its dick deep inside your ass when you buy a Macbook pro with no discrete gpu for game development(unreal engine) and then shell out $1500 for a fried cpu.

Docker for Mac loves burning my CPU. Even if I delete all images and containers and do a fresh reinstall and JUST have Docker for Mac running, I always see crazy CPU usage on my Late 2016 15" Macbook Pro.

When you want to upgrade your shitty work PC, but the CPU cooler says no.

So just sitting here watching my windows VM's cpu usage to monitor was seems to be causing some stuttering and then out of fucking nowhere the default photo's app pops and and claims 96% of the CPU...

I understand computers are weird but how the hell does an app randomly start and jump to such a high CPU usage?

!Rant
Anyone know good ways to monitor server load (Risk, RAM, CPU, Network) with a GUI?
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

Sometimes I feel like my brain has a really fast CPU. But the RAM frequency really bottlenecks the whole system.
Any suggestions to upgrade the RAM?

How to make a browser hog your CPU:

while(true) { console.log("true"); }

(You will have to close the page to stop that behavior)

I think CPU manufacturers should start using bogomips as their focal point in advertising.

That poor unscientific measurement is neglected.

We should be aiming for Megabogomips by now people. MEGABOGOMIPS.

Not so intelligent...

Just in time for all the news about the Intel exploits

Changed refresh rate of my KDE widgets from 1 to 5 seconds.

No more 12% cpu usage spikes in idle. (Down to 3%)

I think that my battery will thank me

A CPU intensive and pointless program to determine the font of text in a picture.

I didn't get past downloading every single google font. TTF drawing bug crushed my dreams. Will upload files to github if you want to see the mess

PS wanted to write it in Python lol

That price to performance ratio of ryzen.Oh my........................

Anyone else find dropbox to be a massive CPU hog?

Generally takes like 20-40 percent when syncing...

1 tab of a crappy payment site in firefox takes 128% of my CPU ? wtf...

Hey fellow devRanters,

I'm sure some of you have read about the newest vulnerabilities in Intels Management Engine (ME). I feel like ME and similar "features" are unacceptable backdoors into our systems. Unfortunately Intel and AMD do not offer their customers the option to acquire CPUs that lack these backdoors and make disabling them rather impossible 😒

Thus my question: Do you guys know of any 64-bit "open-source" CPU on the market that is production-ready and suitable for high-traffic web applications? Please note that I don't consider FPGAs to be viable options, since I don't trust Xilinx and Altera either.

Htop says that the first three processes together take up more than 200 CPU%

Anyone able to link me to some good reading material on compilers, interpreters, emulation and CPU design?

Keen to actually get some of this knowledge under my belt, don't mind if it requires a little investment as long as it isn't written in (fucking) python, preferably C if anyone knows of anything.

Thanks guys! :-D

OMG... I want to thank my mother for changing my diapers for many years, my brother for all the games he no longer plays, my wife for actually making money, my plant for the awesome smell, God for maybe doing something (I guess), thanks @dfox, @trogus, and each one of you guys that deemed my rants worthy of your ++.

Best thing about adulting, having half a freezer full of ice cream and cones in the pantry...

So I got my sister a new PC and being the thrifty (and masochistic) fuck I am, I thought I'd build it myself. I built the PC yesterday (side note: Stick to backplate coolers, Push-Pin is the bane of my existence, patience and fingers) and wanted to install Windows today.
I shit you not, I ran this godforsaken spawn of Satan of 'Windows Media Creator Tool' no less than 5 times with different USB sticks, different Ports, turned off AV and FW and as Administrator but stuff ain't working. After ~30min of downloading Windows each time, it always told me in usual Windows manner "Something went wrong", because who needs decent error messages anyway...
