Humans do this too.

I tend to think of this a bit differently, and would say that C is a low-level language, independent of implementation architecture, because it provides a small set of primitives with relatively simple behavior. Reason being, I don't s

No, but some are retrocomputing enthusiasts who might occasionally run vintage browsers on non-Y2K compliant systems. The cert in question has a "not before" date in 1998, and Netscape 4.51 hails from around same time. Probably ze

Or better yet, non- integrated and mandatory, and only accessible with the owner's consent or a court order, connected to the rest of the car's electronics through a strictly one-way pipe.

It's hard for me to imagine desktop-class GPU performance on a mobile power/thermal budget. If true, why aren't they marketing it to datacenters?

Not only are the upgrades free, the full license is still only $295 and can be freely migrated between macOS, Linux, and Windows (unless something has changed, serial numbers can be activated on two systems at a time and transferred freely

VMware was also an early leader in desktop PC virtualization. I don't recall anything comparable in the late '90s. Virtual PC existed, but IIRC it was still a Mac-only emulation product. One of the nice things about vSphere in a l

How does this help with hardware vendor lock-in, unless there's a second source for PowerEdges I'm not aware of?

I suspect the bigger problem is simply the fact that VDDK workflows are already defined and integrated into migration software packages. Otherwise, there are other options to copy virtual disks from ESXi hosts to other destinations that pre

I don't think anyone is denying the value of advertising to Google or its advertisers. But with fewer ads influencing their spending, readers might have more disposible income left over to fund content.

Formally, a function f is a relation between sets A and B such that, for all x in A and u , v in B , f ( x ) = u and f ( x ) = v implies u = v . It's just a definition. Authority is, as the parent suggests, any in

That's straight out of Mad Men , a fair point, and applicable to a much wider variety of consumer goods and services than foods and drugs.

Not so much rose-colored glasses, but in comparison to MS-DOS and 16-bit Windows, 32-bit OS/2 was a dream. Native application support was limited, and it was even less of a pure 32-bit OS than Windows 95, but for about a year it was th

Also on iOS, though I've only done this over Wi-Fi, and have no idea whether telcos expose open ports to the (IPv6) Internet.

You're making a big assumption about how other people use their computers. If you're running mostly desktop applications on Linux, you wouldn't use sudo much either. And if anything, I use sudoish-to-actual-rootlike on Window

UAC is only a sudo equivalent when running under a non-admin user account, at which point it's nearly as convenient to simply run admin commands from a command prompt running as a separate user, or a separate desktop session entirely.

Counterpoint: I've had very few (and always minor) problems upgrading between major Fedora releases over the years with no more effort than following the well-documented steps to do so, including both traditional and atomic variants, t

Note that bsdtar, which, incidentally, is included in modern Windows versions as tar.exe, can extract as many files as are fully present in truncated ZIP files, because it doesn't read the central header (to detect trunctation) until a

On the other hand, this law doesn't require "age verification" beyond requiring users to supply their date of birth, and the Steam application already does this before displaying content only deemed appropriate for those over

That's only the beginning of the lengths modern JITs will go to optimize. Java and .NET JITs, among others I'm sure, will also profile running code and dynamically recompile already JITted code optimized for the specific branches

The Microsoft Detours[1] library does this for arbitrary Windows API calls. I've used it production to fix simple bugs in third-party software no longer supported by vendors. For example, I have a program that opens Adobe Acrobat Reade

Are we talking about gaming or GPGPU? Because AFAIK gaming is more likely to be constrained by SSD performance than GPU memory bandwidth.

For what it's worth, Apple's cheap (<$10) 3.5" adapters tend to have excellent audio quality and should work with Android devices.

So long as f , g : N → M and we have a reasonable definition of the magnitude ‖·‖: M →ℝ, it shouldn't matter what N is, since we can just define O( f ( n )) = O( g ( n )) if and only if sup_ n ∈ N ‖f( n )‖/‖g( n )‖ < ∞.

Maybe not, but as I understand it, languages were one of Gates' key bargaining chips in negotiating the terms of the MS/PC-DOS deal that put Microsoft in a position to start licensing to OEM's on a per-CPU basis in the first

Sure. And you can run ARM workloads under QEMU on s390x Linux.

Surely this is a limitation of the encoder or a configuration problem, as encoding a video with faster motion at equivalent quality ordinarily requires a higher bit rate, and from the standpoint of the encoder, I wouldn't expect there

More like a "canny valley", you're accustomed to movies looking like movies, not windows into reality. You probably don't get the same feeling when watching live events. I have a similar problem with 3D movies, shallow f
