Is that so? Or isn't it that being the CEO of such a large and well-known company is basically always career enhancing? In my experience, with companies hiring for high-level positions, former job titles are valued often more than actu

Right. But as long as touch is the main interface to you tablet, at least the desktop UI should be designed for that. So in my eyes it totally makes sense not just to use plain MacOS for the iPad. Another item is that so far they resist gi

Yes and no. What they are currently doing, and it is working out greatly, is having a single hardware platform and a common code base on all devices. They still have branches of the main OS body for each device with the device specific cust

Reading this makes me so happy! Even if it by itself might not be the biggest science news, we know about antimatter for a long time and we are still talking about a few atoms only, but the news that people are actually handling antimatter

That is exactly how it is and it makes the whole article completely pointless. Especially as the article in the second sentence correctly writes "1920 pixels wide".

If a camera company sells me a camera, I consider it a definite disadvantage, if I cannot open the Raw files until the software companies have updated their products. This is also a great way of forcing customers into the subscription model

The ironic part is, that basically all the closed-source photo-editing software (and of course all open-source) are just using the open source LibRaw. Any special features as color profiles comes on top of that. So yes, the camera manufactu

Well, it is obvious that between a RAW file and the final image there are a lot of complex processing steps. But that is independent of the file format used. DNG isn't so much different, just documented. And while the manufacturers con

Not forever. But 75 years after the death of the creator by current international agreement. I definitely think that the exact terms of copyright should be revisited - a lot of usages should be allowed like 50 years of publishing a piece of

I think it is already as narrow as you can put 2 seats side by side. But then indeed it becomes a tradeoff between size and efficiency. They went for maximum efficiency. And it is still 26cm shorter than a Model 3. So while not an compact c

Because it needs to be that long to have a low air resistance. There are two determining factors for air resistance. First, the cross section A, which determines the amount of air to be moved and second the drag coefficient c, which describ

It is the only sane way to handle things like this and I think it is the reason air travel is so secure that most regulations and practices make sense. You want the crew to be fully in charge of security. If they think the plane should turn

Why would you want to store enough energy to supply for a whole winter? Wind energy delivers most power during the winter and even solar contributes a bit. The actual amounts to store would be a fraction of that. Of course, that might be th

While having to declare the interfaces a type implements can increase the readability, it comes with a huge drawback: you are limited to implementing the interfaces considered when writing the code. In my eyes it is a fascinating and import

Ok, thanks, finally found the source of transpose. That uses unsafe. Which of course means, all guarantees of safety are off. I am not sure why the usage of unsafe is necessary here, but one way or the other, safety now is in the hand of th

Do you have a link to the code with the error? Following your link I didn't see it.

by _ph_ 2y ago
It is trivial to audit the usage of "unsafe". Grep does this. Of course auditing the unsafe functions is another thing. But you can have large codebases without unsafe and consequently a lot of less work with auditing your code.

Is that so? How large parts of the Rust kernel drivers in existence are inside unsafe blocks? Yes, unsafe, as the name says, allows unsafe parts. But it is trivial to audit code for the usage of unsafe. Which means, everything else isn&#x27

Not everything might be better, but most things would be more secure and stable in shorter time for sure, when using Rust or any other suitable language which e.g. guarantees memory safety and general correctness. It just looks as Rust is t

Or worse: Linux is so widespread and managed to practically kill most Unix alternatives, that progress in OS development is slowed down globally. I would strongly prefer Linux being an OS with a lot of progress to stagnation and possible no

I think initially Linus stance of encouraging Rust drivers as an experiment to see how they turn out was a right decisions. There should be some experience before doing long term commitments to a new technology. But since then a lot of expe

That is a fallacy. No one has claimed that Rust magically prevents you from getting owned. Quite to the contrary: there is no magic in preventing most, if not all memory handling errors. Which are the most common reason for security problem

Well, while Hector had a long history of frustrations with working with kernel development, the project of integrating rust drivers in the kernel has reached a cross-roads. Either to take the next steps or effectively close the door of the

Have you seen the "Ultra" versions of the Apple Silicon? They are gigantic chips. And many other competitors make server-class ARM based processors, so having a chiplet architecture as part of the ecosystem makes a lot of sense.

And I was trying to make the point that it already is a pressing problem for any woman living in those states and of course any male who feels attached to them. Because medical support for women of any age is strongly decreasing.

by _ph_ 2y ago
The problem is, even when there is never the plan of having an abortion, healthcare support for women suffers greatly from the abortion plans. Because it gets legally problematic for doctors to provide healthcare for women. Sooner or later

I can't say it from first hand experience, but usually that are just example stats. The limit usually is pixels/sec for the bandwidth, so any configuration which requires less bandwidth should work too.

Yeah, I got myself Stanley beer mugs and "glasses" and they are a game changer for keeping your beverages cold. This is extremely useful on hot days but even on not so hot days it is outright amazing how cold the beer stays. If y
