It's worse than that, just because a charger can support 60W doesn't mean it supports every standard combination of volts and amps below that level and just because a device can charge at 60W doesn't mean it uses the same com

The key here though is that your server keeps the last N ticks of state (probably around 20) and calculates the diff for each player based on the last id they reported seeing. This way missing an update doesn't get you completely out o

Kyro started as custom but flopped in the Snapdragon 820 so they moved to a "semi-custom" design, it's unclear how different it really is from the stock Cortex designs.

Pretty sure on both of those /sbin is just a symlink to /usr/sbin. If the static thing was ever true I suppose once you've moved everything in to /usr you wouldn't bother anymore.

In theory async/await can be compiled to something as efficient as if you wrote all the non-blocking logic by hand so yeah, it's a "zero cost" abstraction. For green threads the stdlib would have to be designed around th

Direct Rendering Manager has been a part of the kernel since 1999, before the 2.4 release. At that time the term Digital Rights Management as a catch-all for CSS, dongles, etc wasn't widespread.

If that's true they've already been wrong in recent history. The US changed when they do DST in 2007 and I believe other countries have moved it around recently as well. If you're dealing with timezones (which DST is) you eit

You either feed them junk so they waste time filtering out the good intel from the bad, use them as a communications backchannel, or both.

The gist seems to be from 2017 so it wouldn't have been able to reference that paper.

This isn't the case, webview uses WebKitGTK on Linux, WkWebView on macOS, and either Edge/Chromium or EdgeHTML on Windows.

With F# or TypeScript or similar things you can compile down to a common bytecode or to the base language and use the result. Unless you were writing an OCaml to Go transpiler you'd need to ship a copy of the Go source code alongside a

Docker Desktop installs dockerd in a WSL2 instance these days instead of using VirtualBox so I'd assume it works pretty well now.

I think you're seeing this case from the article: > So when you see Trump or other conservatives calling for a Section 230 repeal, sometimes it is just an effort to inflict pain to try and get the platforms to do what they want.

Last time I looked in to it this is true for at least Servo though. DOM objects use the SpiderMonkey GC for memory management since that makes them easier to work with from JS and means they didn't have to write a separate graph manage

C99 ensures it can be used with basically every other language and can be compiled for almost every platform. Bindings on top of that for other languages would be nice but can be provided by the community too. If it was C++, Rust, Nim, etc

GlobalFoundries is a US company, no extra leverage needed to block them from doing business with Huawei.

The extensibility of emacs is insane is why, it really is more like an OS that happens to have editor functionality. I think the only thing that even gets close is Eclipse which has a ton of performance issues which I'm convinced are d

I imagine the answer is going to be that it doesn't. Stuff using Accelerate will probably see the biggest performance hit because it _doesn't_ use the arm64 version and the emulator translates those instructions poorly. However, s

The page we're discussing here actually says you can't mix arm64 and amd64 code in a single process, if your binary is amd64 all your libraries will be too. I'd be surprised if they put in the work to generate thunks for all

I'm not sure why they're making a big deal about this, couldn't the original Rosetta do this too? QEMU has been doing this since (I think) even before the original Rosetta, they call it user mode emulation. You run as if it w

I believe macOS/iOS is the only major OS with MPTCP right now. Some others have patches available or are in the process of landing their own implementations but that'll likely take a bit and still doesn't include Windows. SCT

This is a relatively new feature and there have been one or two ABI breaks since they thought it was done that required recompiling half the world. I think it's been solid for at least most of the last decade though so... stable enough

The allocator API hands out `*mut u8` so... not really. If you changed the allocator API and everything that uses it and makes assumptions about how it works then sure, you could make it hand out a pointer to a pointer so you could come in

That only works if your API access is all or nothing. The existing authorization tooling will just see everything as requests to `/graphql`. If you want per-query or even per-field permissions you need to do something inside the GraphQ

I think the most similar thing to WinRT on Linux would be GObject Introspection since the main point appears to be a way to somewhat automatically surface the platform API in multiple languages using language-specific idioms. D-Bus is inste

The sluggishness with video streaming in Firefox on macOS might be because Firefox supports VP9 so those services will use it to save bandwidth but macOS doesn't provide an API for hardware decoding of VP9 so it happens in software. Sa

What's actually happening, if I understand it correctly, is that when you setup Apple Pay you essentially get a _second_ card issued to you for that account that otherwise works just like a normal card but is only used by Apple Pay. It
