They are in the same "larger family" in the sense they even use mostly the same structure and alphabet. Compare with Korean, which will surely require more than a couple of months. The CEFR/EU consider you only need around 80

There is definitely enough time to master a new programming language in a a year. This is not rocket science, programming languages are purposely designed to be easy to grasp. I'd say less than a month for most languages, perhaps only

By the same logic that there's mandated compression when you are forced to encode your stream as PCM. Bluetooth mandates compression, sure, but it's been repeatedly proven to be transparent at the bitrates used by even crappy hard

Are you literally arguing that both the Spanish native speaker who made the translation as well as the Spanish native speaker who wrote the "explanatory letter" got the meaning of a Spanish word wrong? :/

There is basically no way to parse that as "preserve" without the rest of the document stopping to make sense: E.g > judicial authorities are responsible for the supervision and control of websites in order to prevent the disse

Phones affecting airplanes is already not that much of a risk (even if indeed existing), and besides, as the article claims, the phone might still just sent a periodic ping, which is going to be practicable unnoticeable for any equipment.

If that was true, perhaps economists should put the "economics may be scientific, just not as reliable as you might expect" disclaimer in bolder letters.

That is correct yet the compilers definition of what is trivially copyable might be more strict than what you expect. For example, objects that are trivially relocatable can also be memcpy'd for reserve/realloc, but the compiler w

The article is just doing a generic cargo cult warning there. Not bad as a general C++ gotcha warning, but definitely incorrect in this specific case. As per the author's constraints these are "POD types that are trivially memcpy-

I don't disagree, but the point is that you can. With closed source, it's not about convoluted or not. There's a point in which you just cannot proceed debugging.

The thing is that indeed one of the very valid benefits is that with open source the solution is almost never "just reinstall". Because at least you have the tools to investigate and fix the problem right to the deepest level. E.g

The entire article can be summarized in this paragraph: The problem with Verilog as an ISA is that it is too far removed from the hardware. The abstraction gap between RTL and FPGA hardware is enormous: it traditionally contains at leas

So you just batch the keepalives, like the old Nokias were doing. Reaching 1 month long battery lifes with Jabber on. Absolutely no difference 1 having to send 1 keepalive every 5 minutes than 30. This is just a subversion of basic networki

I would really appreciate it if you were to release your DAL and "runner". I would really enjoy having a workable way to emulate PalmOS on top of Linux/Android. StyleTap is just too pricey and almost abandoned at this point (

There were already some reimplementations of PalmOS on top of other operating systems. e.g. PalmOS's own "Simulator" was a reimplentation of PalmOS on Windows. It would contain a x86 ROM that would "thunk out" for s
