Right, I should clarify. PG&E absolutely should have known about, and prevented, the specific situation that caused this fire, and the fact they didn't do so is a huge problem. However, the surrounding area is such a high fire risk

by 43920 6y ago
This is definitely a failure on PG&E's part, but I'm still not sure how much sense it makes to assign them blame for this fire. The environment they're operating in is somewhat ridiculous - the forest is so dry and overgr

It's decent from an economic standpoint, but it's still environmentally wasteful, and among people buying a $300 laptop, there's probably a decent number who would have a difficult time paying to replace it. Also, the actual

For some reason, Chrome keeps the previous version around after you update it, so you always have two different versions installed (which doubles the space used). If you go to contents/frameworks/Google Chrome Framework.framework&

All iOS jailbreaks are a result of security vulnerabilities, which Apple tends to fix almost as soon as they're discovered - and ultimately, it's Apple's responsibility to make their sandbox secure, regardless of what's

I would argue that the technical limitations of iOS are what accomplishes this, rather than app review. For a malicious actor, sneaking prohibited behavior past app review is incredibly easy - look at what Fortnite just did! The reason that

Most of this is based on the IIHS data; 2012 is the last time a new type of test was added (small overlap), so it's what's being used to make this comparison. Almost all the cars mentioned in the article have likely improved since

I agree battery life for casual workloads will probably stay the same. However, if CPU power consumption decreases relative to other components, battery life on heavy workloads should go up.

The fact that most mobile platforms are sandboxed would help a lot to mitigate this - even if you do install a malicious app, the damage it can do is going to be fairly limited in most cases. (And the platforms that don't have effectiv

I guess I'm using a different definition of "general purpose computer" - IMO, it's defined not so much by the device design, but rather what people do with it. It's possible to do almost everything you can do with a

I don't think the car analogy really applies, for the reason that there aren't very many third-party services in a car, and not much demand by customers to install software in their car. Cars are essentially a single piece of equi

Web workers launched from the renderer work fairly well if you just need compute. I think I've also seen some apps add an additional BrowserWindow that's never displayed onscreen, although that will increase your memory overhead.

Electron supports multiple windows, but it ends up being annoying to do because each window runs in its own process. If your app has any kind of central state that's shared between windows, you end up copying data between processes fre
