If this is so desirable, why haven't people been shipping open source C and C++ software this way? It's not like Go invented static linking. Not just C and C++, either -- Python, Ruby etc software could be shipped as statically li

Does anyone really care about IE 9 any more, though?

If you're not comfortable answering that, perhaps it's a sign that you should be keeping them somewhere more secure.

I guess they don't understand how search engines work, like that dumb company that created the unsearchable programming language Go.

> `push` decrements the stack pointer on x86 architecture, unlike on ARM. Why do you say "unlike on ARM"? In 25 years I've never seen anything but a full, descending stack used as the program stack. You can have ascendin

Does the Java support mean that this will work with any JVM language supported by IntelliJ? (Specifically Scala in my case.)

Doesn't seem out of the question, but it would require a very good type system. I think out of these languages, only Haskell is at that level.

I have LIFX bulbs in my home office. This has inspired me to try something a little more dramatic.

I think his point is that if someone writes something, he's entitled to be able to use it on his preferred platform. Or, at least, that's how it comes across.

Seems counterproductive, even. I would expect a request that causes a 400 response to be rejected early, whereas a request with a valid payload would go through more processing and be more expensive.

How do you get to "almost certainly"? What makes you think people want to wear a VR headset to get real work done? It's not even established what the effects of long-term VR usage are.

They said laptops wouldn't be as necessary. They were right. Lots of people who needed a laptop now only need a tablet or a phone. The laptop and the desktop were never in danger of going away, though, even in 2012.

They made two languages. That doesn't seem a lot for a technology company as large as Google. Nobody looks at Visual Basic, C#, F#, etc and says, "Why does one company need so many languages?"

When was that? Dart started out generating massive JavaScript files, but the output has been significantly reduced in the past couple of years (something to do with using transformers to replace some of the reflection at transpilation tim

Some of Google's databases are just more functionality on top of an existing one, though, rather than being created from scratch. Spanner is built on top of BigTable, and F1 is built on top of Spanner, for example.

That kind of inflexibility seems like a good signal that you might not want to work there anyway.

How much security do you lose if you encrypt each frame individually?

I've only skimmed the article (it's in my Pocket for later), but I think the author gives the answer: embedded programming. You can make your environment as constrained as you want then.

Taking your IP addresses somewhere means you need PI space, no? How common is it for people to have that?

Ah, yes, you're right, of course. I don't know why I was thinking of the phone side. (You can use two HackRFs, though.)

I've only worked with GSM, not anything newer, but the phone is assigned a timeslot in a repeating frame, and the uplink and downlink timeslots are offset so that the phone doesn't have to transmit and receive at the same time. As

Cellphones are only half duplex too, though.

I worked for a picocell/femtocell company a few years ago, and when I started I had to get up to speed on GSM protocols. I remember thinking at the time something along the lines of, "Connecting the call and telling your phone to
