> We do not sell your data -> But we do “share” it. Likely true that it's not sold. They want to retain ownership. Like all modern items, they LICENSE your data to others.

I thought a big part of the opposition to data centers was due to the massive spike in electricity costs, or even loss of availability in getting power, for regular people while the data center gets a deal. If they actually paid for the ne

Based on the ~10x performance gain from disabling access timestamps in VxWorks' HRFS, I'd guess it does. I have no idea if that's common or rare.

You'd need your OS to support, and be configured to use, a disk mounting option that disables file access timestamps, otherwise reads ARE writes.

Exactly. Sony/Playstation can lose their right to issue further licenses, but the existing licenses should be honoured. As that's apparently not baked into the existing contracts, someone needs to legislate that such basic consu

On desktop it keeps adding forced pauses to scrolling, of varying sizes, and you need to scroll down a between 1 and 10 pages worth to begin scrolling again. It might "work" just fine on mobile (or not) but you may have stopped tr

I compile and run utilities on my Mac all the time, and I've never spent a penny on dev tools or unlocks. Yes, there's a fee to get access to the App Store, but almost nobody on the Mac uses the App Store... the fee is mainly for

I'd argue that 68K is simpler to learn and use. You get a similar instruction set, but 32-bit registers, many of them. It's even got a relocatable stack so it can handle threading when you get to that point.

Just noticed you also support scroll to zoom, and it works at a decent speed.

Pinch zoom is the preferred method, it just needs to zoom at a usable (much faster) pace. I have no idea what input events zooming generates. Perhaps an option in the URL could be used to turn on a log of input events that people can copy&

Neat project. Minor usability note, zooming by pinch on a MacBook trackpad is painfully slow.

Perhaps someone at Microsoft threatened physical harm to a Google engineer if they didn't remove the videos... and they caved into their demands rather than reporting the threat, or perhaps did both.

Typically "Cost Of Living" increases target roughly inflation. They don't really keep up though, due to taxes. If you've got a decent tech job in Canada your marginal tax rate will be near 50%. Any new income is taxed

I got stuck on Catan for a while too, as I assumed it was like most games and didn't use names. At some point I just moved on, and solved the next word, Chess, in like 2 seconds. The results claimed I spent a whole pile of time on Che

Paper and paper-like writing surfaces were non-white for a long time before we got bleached white paper. We haven't yet had a glowing-white paper. Traditional-normal for computing was a dark background. There was likely a technological

Mac likely did use this scheme, and yes, copied it from Xerox. However neither Macs nor Xerox had mainstream use. I'd only actually seen 3 Macs in the wild before their switch to Intel, over 20 years later. Windows adopting the &quot

I'm not the original poster, but I ran into something similar late in Win 7 (Win 8 was in beta at the time). We had some painting software, and we used open-MP to work on each scan-line of a brush in parallel. It worked fine on Mac.

To add to this, I'll try to give an idea of how much zoom (or focal length really) you'd need to get a picture with detail. I took photos of both Jupiter and Saturn w/ a Canon R7 and the RF 100-500mm lens, with a 1.4x extende

Not the strongest on C++ myself, but the new[] will attempt to run constructors on each element after calling the new operator to get the RAM. The delete[] will attempt to run destructors for each element before calling operator delete[] to
