The SSD in these macs are soldered. So its not like you can just swap out the drive like other solid state drives. I think thats also part of the problem. You have a device that wears out, but basically is unserviceable.

While pricing power based off the market rate does not seem like a bad idea. The problem I see is that you don't see the price till you have used it. I don't see how you could let consumers quickly know of large price changes so t

Your average anime does not profit as much as these games from established game studios. At least when I last looked at the numbers for anime.

Uhhh, there are dozens of phthalates. Each with a different chemical structure. They are not all going to follow the same metabolic pathway. This article just calls out all phthalates. Would be better to specify which. Also some phthalates

Sad news, honestly wish more states would or even countries would do something along the lines of this bill. It's not apples phone after they sell. The user should be able to side load and use it as they see fit. Even if that means ins

My gut would be yes. Note: be careful the lasers in disc drives can be quite powerful. So protect your eyes.

Also plastics scratch more easily. Something like plexy glass also breaks pretty easily similar to normal glass. Poly carbonate is much stronger but also quite expensive even when compared to normal glass. It also scratches easily.

Except unlike glass this will scratch quite easily. It's why things like plexy glass and polycarbonate have more niche uses.

Gradients in photographs or video rarely have a perfect linear progression like you can generate in an image editor. (Sensor noise and other natural phenomena) There basically already is some natural dithering. If your software is not dithe

8 bit per channel is already enough to avoid banding. However, if you are editing content with 8 bits per channel its pretty easy to reach a situation when mixing colors or applying numerous effects will create banding. So ideally you conve

I would say it's more accurate to call an HTTP request or a JSON object a subset of the set of all strings. If step out the realm of sets and into programing languages types are very similar to sets. Heck there is type theory which als

I don't think it has anything todo with vectors. Sure general vector art tends to be simpler. What I see is mostly people complaining about empty space, that can be used, and have to access common actions through a menu, also a lot of

adding more cores requires moores law. When we hit the end the only to get more cores will be either larger dies or more dies. Moore's law does help with efficiency to some degree, small transistors generally require less power to swit

by anfilt 6y ago
Moore's laws has nothing to do with how fast a chip is. It deals with how many transistors you can fit in a given area. This can equate to a faster chip because you now can do more at once. However, we hit the frequency limits a while

System programs can be in user space for instance a run time for another language. As for a compiler ideally its easy to port as its kinda of the bed rock to get any other system going. Although a compiler for some architecture or use cases

I disagree with the idea of using C++. Even with some of its more modern features. If I was choosing a compiled language for system development right now I would choose C or Rust. For starters C++ does not have a stable ABI. Rust plans too
