Yep. Creating YouTube-only accounts was discontinued over 5 years ago, and as of 2011 all such accounts must be merged into a Google account.

At this point, everyone really needs to decide whether all of their usage of Google services will be linked to their real-life identity, or none whatsoever (and migrate all usage of Google services linked to their real-life identity elsew

The point is that there are always going to be people that live outside the city. Period. Banning cars from the city means anyone not living in the city simply won't visit, which for most cities will result in too few people spending

I will say that if the courts uphold that law as applying to Glass, then it also bans a front-seat passenger from operating (or even having visible ) a smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc. Which is silly, but then again CA's vehicles code

How are you measuring filesize? Looking at compression_test.py, it looks like you encode a color image and use that filesize. But chroma takes bits to encode, and if you're only measuring greyscale (which is basically luma depending on

From what I can tell, for Y-SSIM and IW-SSIM they appear to be encoding color images but only measuring the luma component, which is invalid and renders the results meaningless. Unless they're actually encoding greyscale images for tho

Bigger transforms and more intra modes certainly apply to still images. JPEG's 8x8 transform is pretty small given how large images are nowadays, and VP8 only has a 4x4 transform.

You still need OoOe to execute your second example optimally since you didn't schedule the instructions, which points to why OoOe isn't going away - there are going to be code sequences that the compiler cannot schedule optimally,

No one uses more registers just to use more registers - in OoOe designs the main reason to use more registers is to reduce spilling and reloading. So in effect a compiler isn't going to use a register it has to save, unless in doing so

The studies would vary over time because CPU design and bottle necks have changed. Early designs were of course limited by transistor count, now we have OoOe and physical registers are limited by muxers and latency (see the presentations by

Re: 3, have you actually used other government sites? Particularly for tax returns, which approximately the same percentage of people have legally been required to file for decades? Not saying it's great, but when compared to tax retur

It's "required" by Apple's ABI that the frame pointer always point to a valid stack frame; just the same as on armv7. It's for debugging and ensuring backtraces are always valid. Not modifying the current frame poin

The link register isn't reserved in either AAPCS64 or Apple's ABI so it's effectively 29 GPRs. Yes it has a specially-defined purpose at function bounds, but it's perfectly fine to use it for whatever within a function,

I'm curious, what arm cores did TI design? I know Marvell has custom designs, but I always thought TI only did custom DSPs and licensed arm cores.

This actually might be a first for OS X freeware. Certainly I've never seen (or heard of) a 3rd party toolbar/whatever bundled into an OS X package before this.

Note that the panels are very unlikely to be true 10-bit; they're almost certainly 8-bit with temporal dithering. And the cheap panels are 6-bit with temporal dithering to 8-bit.

This has been in the HDMI spec for 7 years already and most high-end TVs support 10-12 bit input. And lower end TVs it doesn't matter anyway. Also TVs often use at least 10 bits between internal processing steps. Anyway, what you want

Well, only 14% of the US's population is in the Pacific time zone [1], so that would imply that about 2/3 of the visitors are non-US, which seems reasonable. And yes, 1080p is still a fairly uncommon resolution in this laptop era.

Link time for shared libraries is run-time, so unless you're advocating everything be JITed the compiler still cannot know in the general case whether an external function modifies random memory. 1. I'm relatively sure that const

Sorry, I should have been more specific. C/C++ const has no effect on optimization, unless it's on a global/static object and the compiler can see the original declaration. I'm not going to look it up in the C++ spec,

Wrong const. He's talking about the gcc function attribute extension, which most of the time is too strict, so recommending its general use isn't a great idea. C++ const has no effect on optimization, since it can be casted away.

Codecs aren't parallel enough to work well on GPUs; parallelism in general hampers compression efficiency. Anyway, audio resolution hasn't increased anywhere near as much as video resolution. 48 kHz sample rate, 16 bit sample dept

15 years ago they were the next big revolution in image coding. Then people made codecs based on them, which never beat DCT codecs perceptually. They did well in PSNR though, since they blurred instead of blocked. Of course, their main prob

It certainly depends on what they tried - Loren Merritt of x264 fame looked at lapped transforms years ago as well, and concluded that they were inferior due to the unfeasibility of spatial prediction. I remember he also concluded that freq
