Actually EGLstream is the standard (albeit proposed by nVidia) while gbm is an API specific to some Linux drivers.

What about a simple software dynamic control system with an accelerometer then? Basically you apply some thrust to the engine and look at the resulting acceleration with an accelerometer. Knowing the remaining length of the runway one can c

Why don't they automatically measure the actual airplane weight with sensors instead of doing this weird estimation? Based on the article, it seems like they only use that to determine how much engine thrust is needed for takeoff, so i

In most cases there are multiple employers for any job who pay similar wages so one can go work for some other employer if one fires them. But in the Twitch, YouTube, Amazon, etc. cases there is no other platform that pays the same.

How bad is this result and the similar result on the AstraZeneca vaccine? Does it mean that the South African variant will almost certainly cause another pandemic in countries vaccinated with those (thus requiring a revaccination with an mR

Of course it doesn't. It merely shows an image that resembles a mouse cursor.

Why are multiple lists needed instead of a single list where pages that are found to be accessed are put in the front and reclaim acts on the back?

Back in the GNOME 3 debut days, the joke was that GNOME 4 would be just a black screen, the ultimate result of removing superfluous options and features and making a system that is as easy to use as possible.

If your data cap lasts for a week, buy 4-8 SIMs and rotate them. If you need a stable phone number, either buy a dual SIM smartphone or buy two smartphones.

Dynamic allocations don't cause any issues with hard realtime, as long as you don't run out of memory.

Definitely not the "absolute worst", they merely lost all DNS records.

Wouldn't a software defined radio transceiver be more effective for this task? (so you can eavesdrop and interfere with any radio system) Or are they too bulky/expensive to fit in a portable device?

Pretty sure there is normal software for those uses, and you can get free/open source apps with no ads from F-Droid for all basic needs (such as a "torch").

Why not just do the usual dd if=/dev/zero of=<disk> bs=1M count=1024 instead of using those weird proprietary tools?

Isn't this severely biased by the fact that autopsies are only carried on people who are dead, most likely due to COVID? In other words, it seems possible that the brain damage happens mostly in people who end up dying from the disease

Looks like you can achieve an equivalent effect with service workers, like this: 1. If no cookie is set, the server inlines all resources in the initial HTML, along with the original URL in a data attribute if not content-hashed, and sets a

Only if the lottery works as advertised. Such a sequence, assuming a low total number of draws, is pretty strong evidence in favor of the theory that the balls were put in sequentially and were supposed to be randomized but the randomizatio

Are there CPU manuals from Apple that explain how to optimize assembly code for their CPU and document any deviations from the ARM reference architecture?

The Linux kernel keeps full backward compatibility and you can run old distributions in a container, while Windows dropped 16-bit support on 64-bit and doesn't let you run old userlands on new kernels.

It's impossible to prevent Bob from publishing all Alice's messages (barring tech that can forcibly erase them from Bob's brain). The best you can do is not make it possible for Bob to prove that the messages were not forged

That's the minimum CPU for Debian. The Linux kernel supports the 486 CPU (also used to support the 386, but it was dropped, although it's probably possible to restore it with some work - the 286 can't be easily supported beca

by devit 6y ago
Current Linux kernels support the 486 CPU from 1989, and I think you can reasonably run a current distribution and web browser on a PC from around year 2000, and you probably can't distinguish a 2005-2010 system from a current one usin

I fail to see how they can possibly do this in a way that isn't trivially worked around by just embedding the same code as the full browser. I guess their best bets are detecting non-fullscreen screen sizes on mobile, requiring Widevin

The actual advantage of working on something like WSL1 is that it would ensure that the NT kernel is as capable as the Linux kernel (Linux is of course the best designed and implemented among the non-realtime, not provably correct and not s
