Forget containers, where can I get a commandline monitoring tool this slick for regular processes? I feel like we skipped a step here.

Not that it's likely to matter for these systems but there has been some recent work on using ECC to recover from errors caused by refreshing less often. This would use less power so I suspect we'll see someone try it in phones or

I'm pretty sure that paper is talking about an earlier version of this same work targeting Python instead of Ruby.

Minecraft "works" over TCP but I wouldn't call it great. TCP works great for things like block data since keeping those ordered makes it easy to send changes instead of resending whole chunks. On the other hand, entity moveme

> If the thread pool is not limited in size, you avoid this problem, but you lose all the benefits of async. You can't have both: either you have a limited pool and can block it on long running tasks or you don't and can wind u

3 seconds is 2900ms too long, a game would typically rather lose the packet rather than have it delay all transmission for that long. World of Warcraft is a relatively simple game that as far as I know is heavily client authoritative so the

Their stock configuration doesn't even have root available unless you enable it in the hidden developer settings menu. Even then it works like SuperSU and such, non-root by default and popups to prompt for root access when an app reque

I don't know if they'd actually target personal users/growers but Wickard v. Filburn would seem to give them the power to do so.

I think if you could say that about any language it'd be Kotlin. It seems to take all of the best practices guidelines from Java and just bake them in to the language.

There is already PyPy.js using asm.js, doppiojvm which is written in JavaScript, and some effort on getting OpenJDK and/or JamVM to work on asm.js. I don't think you'll have to wait 5 years.

I remember the hype around LZMA2 and xz being that, because it uses blocks, you can do the compression and decompression on multiple threads. LZMA was generally considered too slow to use for regular usage (only for archival, basically) and

The x86-64 chip in question is AMD's Jaguar design which was meant to be used in tablets. The only reason the consoles had more power than you'd get in a tablet at launch is because they had 8 cores at high clock speeds while an a

RHEL 6 only supported using upstart in sysvinit compatibility mode, I believe. They didn't actually use any upstart jobs.

If you're in the US I imagine you'd talk to the EPA. Anything you might do that could potentially harm others or their property has to get approved by one government agency or another. Heck, most things that wouldn't have to

No one has such an API, as far as I can tell. You think drivers aren't activating special code paths and replacing shader code for games that use Direct3D? I suspect we'll have a short time period where drivers don't do this

Moore's law is about transistor counts and DRAM is made of transistors so it really does.

Netflix isn't downloading anything and neither would any other site. The option is whether or not Firefox itself is allowed to download the Adobe CDM when it encounters a site that requires it.

But those have almost nothing to do with using a VM. You can achieve them with your compiler by emitting overflow checks and fences where appropriate to match the defined model.

You clear the snow off before opening the back doors. You should be clearing it off before you drive anyway so it's not much of a difference.

They've already tried to land the code to add brotli support but had to back it out because of an Android build failure. They're moving pretty quick on this. It helps that they already had brotli for WOFF so there is less review r

Samsung's 14nm isn't as dense as Intel's because it's sort of a hybrid of a 20nm process and a 14nm one. TSMC's 16nm is apparently just their 20nm process but with FinFETs so will be the least dense of the three. I

Process shrinks are giving diminishing returns as well, due to dark silicon [1]. We can fit more transistors in the same area which gives the possibility for more functionality but if we power them all at the same time we'll just melt

Don't a lot of those benchmarks end up only measuring how fast your language can call out to GMP to do the real work? And regex-dna ends up measuring your regex implementation which for a lot of them is again just going to be measuring

That's not an option here though because of the poor performance of Go's C FFI infrastructure. It's like Java in this regard, unless you're handing off large batches of work to the C level all at once it's more effi

I suspect their sandbox doesn't allow code generation since they statically verify you aren't using instructions they can't protect against and that would break it. That means that while you could probably get a Firefox runni
