They're not going to be sitting in the board room panicking about the at most few ten thousand sales to DIY enthusiasts they're losing. Especially not with shipments declining by ten or so million per year.

That is true, especially if you're in a position like AMD is where they can sell every single good chip they get into a high margin server part (which is why ryzen can be scarce). But that's pretty rare overall. As a process node

I personally don't think it's particularly rewarding, I hate touching my vim config. But I still use it because, while typing is definitely not a bottleneck, it is still something I'd otherwise need to actively think about. V

Smaller capacitors will keep their charge less long, which makes this more difficult, but I understand that there are no fundamental mitigations.

That's just a measure for backwards compatibility, so python2-only scripts don't cause cryptic errors when they have a `python` shebang. Many distros ship without python2, but will probably still link `python -> python2` for th

I'm not sure why you'd need a VM for this. It should be much easier to implement bridges for major kernel apis like character devices, as I understand some BSDs already do?

In practice that's really not a problem because of rust's great pattern matching that easily lets you extract even deeply nested values.

This outage really doesn't really appear to have anything to do with BGP? As in, it would have happened even if you replaced it with some super shiny modern distributed protocol. Your comment is also strange because especially in netwo

The big problem with the Visa/MC duopoly isn't the lack of regulation or enforcement of antitrust. It's that the US government, unlike many other countries on earth, does not provide adequate and free payment services to citi

Kind of typical. Wouldn't want the government to provide any useful service directly to it's citizens without some corporate middleman. Still a very good step though.

My point was that even without anyone taking that risk, the information will spread. Someone reads the code, mentions it to a friend, who adds it to a blog post, which gets cited in a wiki, which gets read by a developer unaware of the sour

It will be more or less impossible to prove or disprove that anyone obtained some crucial information from there. The info will always somehow make it's way into the places it's needed eventually.

You need to use an external code generator library like llvm or cranelift, just like in any other language.

A completely new solution was inevitable because there was nothing more that could be done with Xorg. All of the complexity that mattered had moved into the WM, Compositor or Client. It wasn't actually doing anything anymore.
321.
by ATsch 6y ago
Yet the people who were working on Xorg decided to write wayland instead. Why? Because there was little more benefit to he had from the previous approach. Xorg had become a slow and bloated synchronous IPC service and replacing it with a UN

by ATsch 6y ago
The things you list have not really been true in the real world for a long time. Modern Xorg uses the same Linux exclusive APIs as Wayland, is not network transparent, relies heavily on window manager and compositor features, etc. Modern Xo

Is that allowed even when sandboxed? Either way, allowing it from applications is a lot different than allowing it from user scripts or accessibility tools in terms of potential for misuse.

You can use positioners to request a location for your popup window relative to your toplevel window: https://wayland-book.com/xdg-shell-in-depth/popups.html You just don't get to set the absolute position of your

Wayland does not allow clients to make decisions such as the precise placement of windows for security and sanity reasons, so I do not think that these will ever be added.

This is why I strongly prefer "Universal Basic Housing" over (or in addition to) UBI. Landlords must be forced to provide a useful service for a good price instead of just freeloading off of the risk of homelessness.

Yes, that work has to be done. I'd just rather we find a way to do it that does not involve a system of glorified slavery where we force people to do it for survival.

Indeed, mitugating DDOS effectively requires frequently making drastic changes to your network on short order.
