Well it should be a dictionary lookup, it should be pretty fast and predictable. And for freeing it up, it should be a good candidate for reference counting.

Sqlite format is smaller than the original format only because xml is super verbose, so any uncompressed binary format ends up being less than lightly zipped xml. But sqlite files aren't small. One thing I don't understand is why

At this stage it shouldn't require much money to integrate ipv6. Your network equipment needs to be really old to not support v6 natively. Though granted, there is support and support. I use hyperoptic in the UK as an ISP. I replaced t

One thing I noticed looking at my logs is that there is almost no unsolicited traffic (i.e. failed authentication attempts, exploits of various worldpress bugs, etc) through ipv6. I think it's a function of 1) those coming from network

In fact my suspicion is that they would also cheat by looking into the dns cache of the current machine.

On the opposite side I remember that researchers were (cautiously) harvesting the original strain of the spanish flu and performing a modern autopsy on its victims by opening lead coffins which preserved well enough the body after a century

Popes are also burried in multiple coffins, including a metal one. Probably at the request of their successors, just to be safe if they ever resuscitate.

not just 32bit. No more powerpc (and soon x86), no more system 7/8/9 apps, etc. It's now a long tradition.

There is also the fact that this particular software is running on a platform that seems to wear breaking changes and backward incompatibility as a badge of honour.

Likewise, I am not too concerned about the NSA breaking into my laptop. I just want that if some kid finds it and tries to plug the SSD into his computer, my files aren't all there to be read.

I wonder why nvidia doesn't do a pure nvenc card (with several chips on it). In these days of GPU shortage, it feels wasteful to have to buy a full blown gpu of all you plan to use is the nvenc chip.

Is there a consensus on whether av1 will become a mainstream codec with broad adoption? As far as I know Apple still doesn't provide hardware acceleration, nvidia only just started (and I don't find their encoding to add much to h

All the analysis I have seen comparing the vaccinated and unvaccinated population suggest they reduce the risk of getting infected by 20-30% in the short term, which for a virus that infectious doesn't really change anything. At the ti

I understand some vaccines provide sterilizing immunity, others do not. Which is what is causing so much confusion as people are lazily refering to the vaccine "working" or "not working" without specifying what they mean

by cm2187 3y ago
During the vaccine trials, the test population was never tested for covid unless they developped symptoms. So you can't infer any information on whether the vaccine provided immunity against the virus (as in you won't get infected

Paradoxically I did the opposite move at the time, I was a teenager who grew up with MacOS and knew it inside out. All my knowledge was basically voided with MacOS X, so if I had to start from scratch anyway, I might as well switch to Windo

Climate change can hardly be called a science by the way. To be a science you need to make falsifiable claims. Without the ability to experiment, all you are doing is fitting some gigantic models to some historical data, and we all know how

Though a lot more people can read software than can write software. All kids are exposed to programming at school these days. They may not get proficient enough to write code or a query but will probably be able to read and adapt code.

I think it's great at simple technical questions, like "how do I do x in python". Hallucinations isn't really a problem since I am about to check if the solution works anyway.
