Blender is not actually that bad. No, Blender is not bad, it's terrible. You need a tutorial video to understand how to close a pane, and even then it's hard. That has got nothing to do with 3D modeling being hard. It could&#x27

No, not at all. There's even restrictions on distributing H264/AVC video files themselves.

Are you REALLY SURE you don't want to switch to Edge?

They're (counter)examples. Bad things that won. "Worse is better" etc.

For anyone that thinks Git is too complicated, consider using Mercurial. Anyone that wants to use TYOOL 2016 age DVCS features should also switch. Like changing history yet still keeping a record of the original one (hg evolve). Git compl

Most git users commenting on the other hand seem unable to grasp that partial commits and staging areas are different concepts.

I'm not sure that combining stashes and branches wouldn't be handy for advanced users either.

So you can't selectively stage hunks and discard others? As other people have pointed out, most new version control tools can do this without a staging area. This eliminates the possibility of quickly putting away work in progress

And even with E10s, Firefox uses only one core for all scripts in all tabs. This is "dom.ipc.processCount". My understanding is that it'll be defaulted to >1 in Nightly soonish. For most people it "just works".

Is a logo going to correct this? No. You should file bugs in Bugzilla, in this case with the phone model and which keyboard (3rd party or not), so we can investigate and fix. It obviously isn't supposed to behave that way. That, and

there are a lot of open source projects which do miracles with less than 1% of what Mozilla earns each year There's none maintaining and improving a complete web engine though. I mean if you could do this on 1% of Mozilla's fund

Mozilla's focus and the core of their platform is the open web. The products are tools to get there. Firefox lost the majority of its market-share (and hence, influence of web standardization) to mobile devices, which necessitated Fi

in my comment I assumed that gliding would imply a single engine failure This assumption is the problem and grandparent was very correct to point out the obvious misunderstanding that would result. Maybe this is the typical wording used b

OSSing certain parts is certainly an issue, but what do you mean with "potential coupling" being an issue? That's exactly the advantage, right?

I think you mostly call it a "saner world" because git tooling and performance doesn't work with unified repos, so people avoid it. But it can be fixed, too, which is what Facebook and Google are doing.

Much faster on Windows for large repos. Better extension system. Some like hg evolve are science fiction compared to typical git workflows. Sounds like hg absorb is similar.

Hmm, much better than I remember. I guess this goes a long way to explain why this wasn't always seen in practice: http://danluu.com/assembly-intrinsics/

At least Safari and IE, it seems.

I coded chess algorithm in the past and this was exactly the method top chess open-source engines used. Your statement is rather vague in time, but for example Stockfish did certainly use the hardware intrinsic at some point. Some of the

Your code has 6 shifts, 6 adds/subs and 6 ANDs. You can do it with 4 shifts, 3 adds, 1 MUL and 4 ANDs. Your code is simply suboptimal.

Popcnt isn't particularly well optimized in most micro-architectural implementations.

(Very) embedded developer speaking here. What's this L1 cache you speak of?

Am I right in thinking that it's easier to become a Googler by starting a company that gets acquired than by submitting to such a broken interview process? No, not at all. At least it used to be so that when Google acquired a company

Ah, the appeal to authority. It depends, but generally speaking, you are wrong and OP is right that you'd want to benchmark on the actual architecture. a) First of all, you're probably basing your answer off of experience with 64-

I think Ubuntu 16.04 is on Plasma 5.7 or older. (That's where I experienced this).

Good catch, and a good indication that the author is paraphrasing and not exactly getting all the details right. (I don't doubt this happened, but we're only hearing one side of the story)

Google makes extensive use of third party libraries. Some are in C.

Tell me, why do I need TWO kwallet daemons? Why do I need to disable a filesystem indexer by default that slows the system to a crawl?

Not if they allocated $0 for warranty payments :-)
