Windows has support to remap keys built in, there's just no UI for it oddly. I think it was added in 2000? https://www.ghacks.net/2010/06/06/the-ultimate-guide-to-keyb...

Americas anual GDP was $21t in 2020. Federal COVID relief funds were 4.6t over the span of 2 years according to https://www.usaspending.gov/disaster/covid-19?publicLaw=all That's just over 10% of the GDP. Not a sm

Apple makes money off the interchange fee. It might be "free" to the end user, but the corporate motivation is the same as Prime's -- money. And please don't ad hominem attack people you're responding to.

It was also a massive usability boost. The process of "insert installation CD" then "nothing happens" was a bad experience for an extreme segment of the user base. In 1995 the idea of commercial products being adversaria

There's no merit of what should be a project wide function being a single line instead of 3 to avoid "hard to grok" syntax.

$250 is several hours of most developers pay. If it saves them any amount of time it's incredibly easy to justify. It's also rare to need what Enterprise has that Professional does not.

I wonder how the thieves knew it was a tracker and the author knows it was ditched because of it's discovery. I do believe it's a contrived story as an attempt at "viral" marketing.

What a jarring read. After 20 paragraphs and the 3 ads that made it past ublock, the article comes to it's titular point that Google bought a company in 2010 which had designed a UI based on a physical desk. The video of the UI is incr

Thank you for the write up. I'll be reading up on this more. Do you know if it models the target arch, too? Like, can it account for different architectures having different instruction reordering rules?

Oh this is true. Rereading your point that an error should be present is something I agree with. It feels more domain to the browser. Have some sort of required flag.

It depends on how many times removed it is. Lets say it's 4 8bit ints. It can be sequentially and directly in memory like: stack: [0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x03] Each int is directly next to each other in memory. But it could instead b

At the machine level there is absolutely a difference. one means your data is right here, the other means the data is elsewhere. That poor data locality can cause cache misses and always consumes extra cycles.

That seems strange because you'd think you may need the guarantee the pointer remains a pointer for an ABI? Or does it only do this in very limited circumstances? Do you know the term I can use to Google more info about this?

If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying a compiler will optimize out "void*" to instead be the value put into it, so theres no pointer dereference to get to it? That's what I am talking about. I don't kno

by joe_guy 5y ago
Void pointers also add an unfortunate layer of dereferencing. In C# for example, generics are important to keep values on the stack instead of the heap, not only avoiding garbage collection but improving data locality.
