Unless there exists a way to peel back that layer it is immaterial. Asking for something that doesn't exist is different than asking to have access to a layer that does exist.

In theory if you could place a second bank of receivers behind your head and had an accurate distance between the two you could simply the problem to just requiring line of sight. It also sounds like they have a multiple device fix availabl

Unless you have all of the optimizations available to the lowest level you are restricted which is why people complain about "only JS". There are no optimizations missing from x86 so complaining about it is pointless. Especially g

I would agree that root being an option is a huge win for consumers but I still believe that root not being the default is good for computing as a whole.

Unfortunately the update reboot cycle is incredibly reliable, which is why it has persisted. Can't beat "millions of machines have taken these steps". Thoroughly agree that a more simplified method would be awesome though.

I think the huge ecosystem of apps out there thoroughly disproves your point. Honestly I love the permission scheme of the app stores compared to my desktop. Being able to control what the app can do is massively better than the desktop sys

You don't need to run both if you don't want to. People would be fine with the phone turning off its display if that were necessary. The real problem is USB-C which would be necessary to both charge your phone and have it connect

It depends how you want the hardware to work. If you want people to bring their own monitors then you need to support HDMI. I would expect a docking station that charged the phone and had a built in USB port. Said docking station could hook

Their comment wasn't based on using it but simply based on "Visual Studio on something other than Windows" more than likely. Registration walls are only a bad idea when you care that a product reaches as far as possible. Give

0.4Wh would equate to 17 m with 1 kg weight attached assuming perfect efficiency if my math is right. I would be surprised if it could do much more than 3 m.

So you mean like Haskell's `.`? That would be interesting.

I would naively assume that the market forces of high unemployment would be more powerful than over-qualified employees would account for unless they sought them specifically. Given all the mechanisms they already have in place to control t

Currying is weird, it completely changes how you handle functions. It allows some incredibly powerful concepts to be expressed unambiguously with little syntax. However I certainly agree that the lack of obvious markers for what a function

IIRC without patents you have trade secrets, patents ensure the details are more widely known (in theory).

While your point isn't invalid it is important to keep in mind that popularity is not a valid proxy for quality. Also he is focusing on large companies who have huge reasons they can't use Haskell, mostly related to internal resou

There has been talk of using superoptimizers in larger compilers however it is usually not worth the effort unless you know a problem case in particular. Especially since these kinds of transformations could slow down your code if the branc

Given that the proposal specifically mentions using struct instead of class it isn't just C#'s handling that makes it difficult to leverage System.Tuple.

This is about watercraft, not consumer devices. These kinds of things are managed automatically for you in your phone, tablet, or even PC.

by Guvante 12y ago
All of these things are built into consumer devices already. 0% maps to about 5%, 100% maps to 90-100% depending on where in the charge cycle the device is (it will stop charging for a while to discharge some of the battery before starting

F# allows you to break up the tuple immediately, this tremendously aids readability as it avoids introducing confusing names. let (a, b) = Foo() Compared to var tuple = Foo(); var a = tuple.Item1; var b = tuple.Item2;

Not charging sales tax is technically legal but certainly a grey area. Since almost every state that has a sales tax has a use tax you are just shifting the burden of reporting onto your consumer. The reality is most people don't repor

Microsoft is certainly not the only one who did this. Many business to business deals involve read only access to source code (usually by platform providers).

It looks like they may be putting the container in a Hyper-V VM while allowing it callbacks to the underlying OS. Done correctly this allows the hardware level protections to apply to the code running in the container, assuming the penalty
