That layout is reasonable common in at least one scenario: A list of tags with wrapping. If something supports a large number of tags and the textual content of tags can vary significantly in length, then thewy will usually be sized to fit.

They absolutely do have standing. 15 U.S.C. §15 allows for injured parties of anti-trust violation to sue for treble damages. This is separate to and beyond any criminal charges the DOJ can bring. If courts determine that Apples behavior vi

Honestly for a laptop I'd prefer the following setup: An E-GPU enclosure, which is also the power supply, has an ethernet port, and provides some USB ports for any devices you always leave at the desk. You connect it to the laptop with

It does normally work because they apply a luminosity matrix to make a "greyscale" version. The actual greyscale value being the sum of the three components, after applying this matrix. (Yeah, I know, the sane way is to use the ma

If i had to guess: No relevant catch in the right place. Perhaps there is no catch at all, so the systemUI process crashes. Since that process is critical, and responsible for things like the status bar, some supervisory process panics, and

GDPR is poorly designed. It deliberately uses super vauge and imprecise wording. That is bad enough when operating in a common-law legal system where that is the norm. It is inexcusable in the Civil Law system that much of Europe operates i

Honestly I think the biggest issues are: Unlike hyper-V itself, where some VM exits that return to the host are implemented (for speed reasons) in kernel drivers using undocumented APIs, the supported Windows Hypervisor Platform API is 100%

The biggest issues are the public API surface. If the library were being designed from scratch today, pretty much every method on the model would be Async. After all, if it leads to any network I/O of any kind, that can block. Working

That proof is utter nonsense. Sure Nintendo might have just downloaded the rom, but they may have: 1) just concatenated the prg and chr roms and added an iNES header so they could validate in third party emulators. (Likely extra helpful for

MSSQL does this with a two pronged approach. If a dead record is encountered in a scan, it is queued up to cleaned up by a background task, that runs every 5 seconds. This typically happens soon enough that the record is still cached, so no
641.
by jsmith45 6y ago
Actually MSSQL still has a vacuum system under the hood ("ghost record cleanup task") that is needed even if you have disabled all MVCC features. It is not as critical as in PostgreSQL, since there will be fewer rows to clean up.

I'm not clear on how this will make things easier. The default "environments" are just docker container defined in this repo: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/ except that you can

this is not even just replacing your local vs code. This is a minor variation of the existing Visual Studio Online (now renamed Visual Studio Codespace) product. The core of it is running an automatically created azure hosted docker contain

Interestingly even though MSSQL server uses an extremely different implementation of MVCC, it internally has a vacuum equivalent. (Which is required even when all MVCC support is disabled! It is used to enable efficient implementation of de

Home screen installed PWAs are treated as a separate web browser. For all web browsers, content is only deleted after 7 days in which you use that browser. So if you shut for phone off for a month, and then turn it on, and open safari, that

For some scenarios, most (all?) of them have write-an-image-but-you-can’t-run-it-locally semantics. My build server is x64, but target output is ARM. Can't exactly just run that locally super easily. Perhaps somebody has created a cont

In many ways the real peer review comes after publication, when more people have seen the work, and can react to it. In some fields it is not terribly rare for flaws in the work get discovered at that point, and rebuttals get written and ci

Neither of those make much sense as the cause anyway. Both sacrifice database consistency if the hosting process crashes or os crashes or reboots due to power failure, but with something like a coverage database, neither is particularly wor

I was not aware of any mechanism that would cause windows to allow overcommits. The main allocation APIs allow for a "reservation" type of allocation, which reserves some of the virtual address space in the process, without actual

I suspect it is very deliberate. Their normal cores are so shitty that there is a reasonable chance that the wrong key will work to open the lock, especially if somebody is trying to open it quickly. With LOTO locks, Bob could die if Alice&

Actually, I suspect it is very deliberate. For normal master lock key padlocks, it is not a big deal if it accidentally unlocks with somebody else's key. Their normal cores are shitty enough that even a regular key has a reasonable cha

Has anybody yet made a GPU and monitor that use a type-c alternate mode (whether it be display-port or something else) plus power delivery, such that your monitor does not need a separate power cable? I would love to reach the point where a
