They’re a publicly traded company, this is readily available information. Sure the growth is not a hockey stick, but they’re not exactly dying either. The way people talk on here you’d think they’re filing for bankruptcy tomorrow.

For one, it does things that the competition is not capable of or just inferior -- and despite the bias on this site, the major consumers of RDBMSes are not price sensitive scrappy startups. There is no comparison between the HA offerings i

Windows and Mac OS are not on the list either. Haiku is, so this is not a Linux list. Pretty much arbitrary.

That's not really true. The guide seems to be javascript centric. The slash and flags is not part of the regex, it's a delimiter. In certain contexts like sed, perl, php, an arbitrary delimiter can be used to avoid needing to esca

The other advantage other than greppabilty/documentation is that the compiler will limit what the static_cast does. Since a c style cast can be a reinterpret cast or a const cast you do lose some compiler provided protection.

I've run CPUs at 100 C. It's not like they melt at that temperature or something.

Indeed most handsets including the old iPhones and all pre iPhone pocketpc used SoCs of some sort. In fact the original iPhone had a part with stacked SDRAM. ARM and MIPS SoCs have been a staple of consumer devices for at least 20 years.

Citrix imploded? That’s news to me. It’s pretty much an industry standard in US healthcare.

Do you think a generalization like this is in any way constructive? Also I don’t see any reply that I thought demonstrated “offense”. Perhaps it was deleted.

In most servers you carry like two or three grenades though, usually not reloadable. It’s doesn’t imbalance that much.

This was always cool. Wasn’t it released shortly before TF2 and pretty much steamrolled into obscurity after that?

Most modern computers can software/CPU blit to a 4K screen at multiple frames per second. So this explanation doesn’t make much sense as is.

I think you may have had something, and then oversold it. The only thing “by far” about Windows 10 is the distance it should be defenestrated. In other news... look up Surface Pro “hot bag”. The chucklefucks at Microsoft couldn’t get relia

You misunderstood. It’s for small businesses to stock up on items they need for their place of business, not for resale. Countless small offices in the US may need a lot more TP than a 3 person family but doesn’t need enough to justify a di
