(This is written as a thought exercise) Should it actually be anti-trust to bundle various office applications together? Are they actually related enough that they can only be sold as a bundle? Or have we just gotten used to the concept of

Unfortunately because you're not a customer, they'll never stop. Often times they won't stop even if you are a customer as in the case of Microsoft insisting that I backup all my files to their OneDrive that came bundled with

I liken current LLMs to that one uncle that can answer and has an opinion on everything even though he has actually no knowledge of the thing in question. Never says "I don't know", and never learns anything for more than a f

Is there a good reference available that describes what happened with expert systems in the 80's? I'm only vaguely aware about such things but in my mind they seem to have some utility.

This will never happen in reality, but one way to make sure a bill like this doesn't get through is to not allow for any exceptions to being surveiled. So politicians and security people will be treated just like the population at larg

On some level I can see it being a benefit to the big providers to only accept email from other big providers, as it would incentivise people to buy email services from them, because only email sent from the big providers would "work&q

With an unchanging system you could sit on the beach collecting the recurring revenue, or build new products and look for more customers. It's not as glamorous as trying to get a hyperscaling startup but there's a lot of money to

My assumption is that the counting of companies valued over 1 billion is due to the mentality of the USA where companies need to always grow, capital needs to accumulate, that bigger is better, and everything must go towards that growth. Th

Some games are built the way you've described with job threads and queues, but regrettably most are built with a main thread, a render thread, and sometimes use other threads for some compute.

You own stock so you can tell the organisation what you want it to do, after all you are an owner of the organisation if you own stock. Same goes for regular companies as well, the stock holders can tell the company what they want done, it

Probably also because Game Developers had to deal with the MS STL implementation which for many years both the compiler and standard library were behind the times and not that optimal. Case in point when using a std::deque with MS STL it&#x

Not only for training their models on any content opened by Adobe products, but it would also cover any content generated by their models, since the models would implicitly have a licence to use the content they were trained with.

From what I read somewhere it's because the cheaper plan where you pay by the month is actually an annual plan where you pay in installments. So technically speaking you're not paying a monthly subscription, you're paying off

This doesn't really matter on which world-wide stock exchange companies end up listing. There are many companies which list on the NASDAQ rather than in their home exchanges, or on a more theme appropriate exchange rather than one clos

Unless you specifically want a compiling and running version of FizzBuzz you don't actually need to use or know about the mod operator. At least for me it would be sufficient if the person used a function like IsMultipleOf(x, m), or Re

Wouldn't you want to go all the way with a 7990X (64 cores) ? I know the 7970X is more affordable but this is for a benchmark!

In this case it's not complexity but a useful abstraction. It abstracts the void_buffer into its own type with proper correct functions for creating, (maybe copying), moving, and destructing the buffer. With that you get a simple type

So the simplest case for not providing a language specification for dereferencing a null pointer is that it requires putting in checks everywhere to detect the condition and then do something in the case where the pointer is null. So what s

I can understand switching from Wifi to (5G) Cellular in a factory setting as I heard on a podcast that 5G has features built into it for verious different circumstances. I can't fathom switching from Ethernet though, as that has diffe

I wish Windows 11 would be like that but it doesn't seem to be this way with the big AI and Azure push.

Well Windows 7 users converted to Windows 10 users as it was released before the end of support for Windows 7. The same thing could reasonably happen if a good Windows 12 gets released before the end of support for Windows 10. Though I have

You can still use Windows 10 after that date, it's not like it will uninstall itself and shutdown right then and there. If you felt so inclined you can also pay Microsoft for support after that date. Or Microsoft might also extend supp

I would say that if you ever take your company public that you don't own it anymore, it is now owned by the whims of the marketplace as a whole.

Realistically for using Windows there will be three scenarios: 1) You like all of this "AI" "stuff" and you use the newest version of the Windows Operating System. 2) You just want an Operating System that works so you c

I've recently dug up some of my first "larger" scale projects that I implemented in the early 2000's, including compiled executables, which managed to run unmodified on modern Windows. That is an achievement in compatibi

I'm afraid to burst your bubble but assets are definitely part of that 450GB as they are routinely stored in Perforce. They are considered part of the source of the game.

How do you handle the fact that Windows 11 is a desktop OS and it tends to want to do whatever it feels like restarting for updates and such. I would imagine it's a bit of a pain to have the system reboot at random, killing your VMs et

Increasingly in this modern world, no, you are not the owner of the device. You're more like purchasing the right to use it for a time, in the way that the makers want you to use it. This applies across PCs, Macs, and Phones where Micr
