that assumes the other compilers aren't compromised. lets say gcc is compromised. if it detects its compiling a compiler it inserts a back door routine, if it detects it's compiling an os, it inserts a backdoor, if it detects its

I don't imagine the world to be a nice place. I think we're coming from different philosophical view points. Murder is going to happen, I would say we should try and prevent it, not just accept that it is going to happen. Yes, tha

Maybe? You still have to trust the original compiler, and you still can't rely on reading the source. You just have to hope that the simple compiler is simple enough to read at the machine code level, and trust your file system /

A shift is basically a rotate and mask. If wonder if they came from a machine where there was no shift instruction?

I was expecting it to be about some weird arm instruction. They like mnemonics like this.

>It could have even been done entirely by a third party which may not even still be in business. That's not really a good basis for defending closed drivers. Yes it happens, but it is a scenario we should be trying to avoid.

Would you say that the cynicism or just you, or a general thing? I stated my hypothesis as 'expecting too much' but I'm not particularly wedded to that specific hypothesis. It's just my observations suggest it isn't

Ah ok. Well the fact remains you have an exhaust with elevated nox. So the 3 options are to stop the nox being created to start with (no nitrogen), convert the nox into something else (nitrous oxide?) or release/store/use the nox

You could argue that an equal retirement age is equality though. Otherwise anyone with a health condition that shortens their life span could argue that they should be able to retire earlier.

by benj111 3y ago
Could you not get it to produce nitrous oxide instead? Or can nox be used as an oxidiser like nitrous oxide? If the byproducts are a liquid an a gas, seems like it would be easy to separate the two. Or is there a cheap source of nitrogen le

Yes, I can sort of understand an existing law staying in place because of inertia, but introducing a new law in this day an age just seems weird. You are literally asking men to pay more towards the state (in time) than women.

I kind of disagree. 1s aren't generally the type to start their own business, 2s are so you aren't going to be competing on technical merits. Yes 3 is always valid. But I don't think you need to be the best individual at anyt

I found my current partner of 2 years on bumble. I was on the site for a month. I sometimes wonder if people just have too higher expectations, waiting for 'the one'. Relationships are hard. You have to work through differences, y

Any idea as to why? A court order or something? Withdrawing cards 'temporarilly' seems like one of the worst things a bank could do. But they're giving notice, so it's not like a technical fault preventing the cards from

Am I weird that my first thought about a 128 core CPU is all the scrolling in htop?

I'm still on Linux. I just use a premade Debian rather that selecting every single tiny piece. If I need to change things I can, I just don't feel I have to change everything.

It isn't (just) a problem of the screen reader. This is hacking unicode to do things that unicode isn't supposed to try to do. <List> <Item> element .... Tells me that this is a list of things. Reusing a unicode thing

My journey into Linux was like this. I decided to install arch once. Didn't have any issues per se, but spent far too much time going through all the window manager options, file browser options etc etc etc. I eventually decided that I

Why didn't they just argue that rather than a name per se it's a unique identifier. It's a bit weird, but presumably you could address someone as Dear 01769357 A photo on a driver's license is inherently lossy, it would

Ok, the designing, and tooling, testing etc. But that just makes it worse. If you have to spend £5million over 5 years to design something, you need to get funding until the point where you're actually selling products. If all the cost

Off the top of my head I don't really know. But then if you had asked me 20 years ago if we'd need multi core multi GHz multi GB computers to display a web page I'd probably have said no. I suppose the os could reserve regist

Absolutely, I'm not saying a 64bit instruction length with 5/6/7/8 bits of registers would be bad per se. In fact I'd be interested to see where it leads. But if you have a processor that also uses 16 bit instructio

Do apple even pay licencing fees? I thought they could basically do whatever they wanted with the instruction set.

I disagree. Manufacturing processors is expensive. You need a big successful company to show that it's possible and profitable to invest. Long term, yes I kind of agree, you run the risk of extend and extinguish if you get one dominant

by benj111 3y ago
Well you can embed longer immediates directly in the opcode. You could have a lot more registers. The first example, I'm not sure you'd want a full 64bit encoding space. You still aren't going to be able to load a 64bit immed

i dont see why having to compete with disney == higher fees (effectively). surely competition 'should' lead to lower fees.
