In my experience, the issue with tablets running GNU/Linux is not so much hardware driver support, but that the usual desktop just does not support touch input very well. For example, last time I tried, Debian does not build Firefox in

Prototypes did not exist in original K&R. Even function declarations (without prototypes/parameter lists) were still optional in C89 (“ANSI C”), only C99 disallowed calling undeclared functions. To this day, GCC accepts call to und

It's going to get interesting once Slack (or a partner) starts offering access to models which have been trained on conversations, either from your workspace or globally across all workspaces. Or maybe a combination of both (say, an in

Apparently, there was a Java port for Windows NT running on the DEC Alpha: https://archive.org/details/jdk-v1-alpha_nt It's unclear whether it's actually a 64-bit build. Did Windows even have a 64-bit userspa

Most binaries were still 32-bit for performance reason, and I don't think that Java 1.2 had a 64-bit port yet, not even on Solaris/SPARC. The situation that an x86-64 build is faster than an i386 build of most applications (except

The example I had in mind was for an S-Bahn in Karlsruhe (operated by AVG, using the S-Bahn trademark under license, but otherwise unaffiliated with Deutsche Bahn) which was considered a tram, not a regular regional train while it traveled

Where is the human in the loop for typical mine deployments? We already have autonomous killing machines, it's just that they are not very sophisticated, often having trouble to tell children from tanks. I'd expect that mine manuf

Or worse, you can still buy the ticket, but it's not valid for any trains actually in service. This stuff is really non-obvious. For example, train operators can license certain Deutsche Bahn trademarks without accepting Deutsche Bahn

Literally, it's about preventing taking a second, paid job during vacation from your first employer. So it's not entirely clear whether this is about protecting employers or employees. As far as I know, non-competes for blue colla

It's not a criminal matter. The employer might bring it up if there is an employment dispute. An employee who regularly comes back from vacation injured or sick is likely to raise some eyebrows (similarly for coming to work every Monda

It's hard to translate. The law speaks of Erholungsurlaub, which could be translated as “recuperation vacation“. That already sets a clear purpose. There is also a clause that prevents us from working during vacation if that work endan

The reference to C++03 having all you need is kind of odd because C++03 did not have variadic templates. Instead, you had to use typelists to abstract over tuple-like types. But typelists are available in Rust as well. Instead of (T, U, V),

You can add enough swap space that fork+execve always works in practice (although vfork or vfork-style clone is obviously better if the goal is to execve pretty much immediately anyway). Linux allows reserving address space with PROT_NONE,

I still hope we can revert that once we have complete, CPU-verified backtraces. As a linked list, frame pointers are still somewhat slow. Just copying the hardware address stack should be quite a bit faster, and more importantly, the CPU wi

I understood the comment to be more about some way to parameterize allocators on a per-type basis for standard library types, and not a specific mechanism. C++ nowadays has stateful allocators (e.g., allocate in this specific pool please

The difference is that the average distro user cannot just push a new ISO image to the mirror network, say after changing some installer defaults (or more realistically, push a new QCOW2 image). There's also a substantial delay between

Yes, some jurisdictions already recognize such rights as some form of copyright for databases (collections of data): https://intellectual-property-helpdesk.ec.europa.eu/regional... I believe the U.S. is a bit of an outlier

Yeah, it seems that would require a fairly fundamental shift in how copyright is understood in the U.S. Not something that should happen during routine processing of DMCA notices. The EU is different, it recognizes copyright-like rights in

I'm not sure if such a promise ever existed. After all, before CentOS Stream, all security fixes went out with RHEL first and were imported into CentOS (non-Stream) only afterwards. And under the Stream development process, the fixes h

My one gripe is that many systems do not provide a writable XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in all cases because the requirements in the specification are impossible to meet at the same time (the specification does not acknowledge the existence of “su --lo
