Is there really a need? Most serial protocols can really be considered 'open'. For low bandwidth there is RS232/UART/JTAG. Then there is I²C/SPI for networked. I²C ranges from 100kbit/s to 2.3Mbit/s. And S

You can put the other people in the VR experience too. Google at IO/2016 showed some experiment with schools using cardboard where they raytraced where each student in a classroom was looking at. https://www.youtube.com&#x2F

That is just how chip manufacturing works. In theory you make 1 model of chip. You manufacture them. You test them. What clock speeds are they stable at. Are any of the cores faulty. Many (probably most) will have defects. Some of them will

I'm not an expert but in the gamedev domain, control over memory is fairly vital. It seems like it would be for lots of the other stuff C++ is used with too. In C++ I can allocate all my memory upfront in a pool since I know the exact

That might be fine for a carton of eggs or milk but most things now days have heaps of ingredients in them. The problem with this is you have to know enough to be able to make that determination. How long does a ingredient last, when in a s

Moore's law only states that the number of transistors doubles for a specific size of silicon every 1.5 years. When it does end, we will move onto other forms of computing, memristor based, graphene, photonic/optical, quantum (onl

Have a look at MusicBrainz Picard. They have a massive community database with audio fingerprinting. It's not %100 though so you do have to do a quick verification that it got the right one (some tracks can end up on compilation discs)

I could see it being potentially being much worse. Some could buy a phone for every tower, set them up to wait for a trigger call that when received will cause then block every call in the country simultaneously. There are probably close to

Charging for encryption now days is horrible. We should be encouraging devs to put encryption everywhere. It should be the default. Personally I don't like it when projects mix money with opensource.

I think a worse programming example is when inheritance is taught. It's always Car>Vehicle>Entity kind of structures, which actually sucks and in most cases composition should be done.

Except if /dev/urandom is using a hardware based random number generator, then you have to trust that the hardware hasn't received some NSA alterations at some point during the design. The NSA did design a random number gene

'Quantum communications' isn't a real thing outside of scifi (and generally the crappier kind). It's sometimes (inaccurately) used to describe quantum entanglement (or quantum encryption) but it doesn't actually all

It has been possible to produce dupes of keys for ages now the old fashioned way. 'Printable' keys is just adding novelty. More of a concern is bump keys and the fact that Lockwood dominate the industry when they can be opened wit

That one probably took a lot longer as it was a complete rewrite to deal with the core profile. 4.3->4.4 would only have to add the 4.4 stuff in. 4.4 doesn't seem to be a major change. Only adding some buffer stuff, DX10 compatibili

Cygwins not bad if you just want a shell. It does Xorg too, but it's not fantastic. The main problem is not all programs will work on it (no tmux, but screen is ok), or be in the repos (I actually made an attempt to get Arch's mak

I'm running into issues. After a while it starts tearing holes in the sphere. Also the performance seems to die off. But I don't know much about 3D sculpting so maybe I'm abusing it. Running on Chrome under Arch.
