Can and have seen agile teams just create user stories for this. With estimates and acceptance criteria (yes having your people pass a quiz can be acceptance criteria). They even did an end of sprint demo where they had to present (without

Doesn't matter IIRC, most employers requires their employees to sign an agreement saying that anything they come up with during the term of their employment is owned by the employer unless the employer gives up rights explicitly. This

IANAL but my reading of the situation would be that apple has a better claim on his IP than the tactic they're taking. All they'd have to do is prove that the idea was formulated at apple and they never signed it over to him. My u

As much as Microsoft would love to kill 32bit windows, 16bit line of business apps are sadly still a thing in some large companies. Companies that may not have the source of or cannot for a variety of reasons port the code to 32bit or 64bit

As best I can tell Intel kinda painted themselves into a corner with their 14nm+++ process. It produces really high quality parts (no surprise) but that also means that there is now an expectation of super high clocks on the intel side. Tha

Good to know I was assuming they'd run a bit hotter. That will actually make the memory situation worse though in many regards.

So at a 225w TDP I'd guess that part is going to be clocked in the 1.2 -1.5GHz range. Definitely a specialist part IMO because with only 8 channels of memory that's 1 channel per eight cores which is not a ton of bandwidth. So for

I believe they tried, but it basically never made it out of committee as it's basically the same as banning people from using a highlighter on a book. It became very very clear that not only was it not enforceable but trying to go afte

AFAIK every browser but IE11 supports the modern basic grid syntax. Edge has supported the new syntax since Edge 16 which is old enough to be widely deployed in enterprise now. So as far as I'm concerned that's the "Vast majo

I updated my post with their comment, they may not be directly going through SEDE as there is an API that can be used. I know there is a bot called charcoal that sniffs out bad posts etc and auto reports them for example that uses the API.

My guess? Because they aren't linking to it. Longer guess: I suspect they are doing some fancy virtualization tricks here to service calls directly like they would a VM but in a VERY lightweight manner similar to containers. This fits

Depends on a lot of things including bloatware and anti-virus in particular which can slow a machine to an absolute crawl. In theory windows can be faster than Linux in some cases; but usually isn't because most developers don't a

I have a sneaky suspicion you're right, windows generally assumes any 'shared' code will be in DLLs and is optimized around ensuring they are shared as much as possible in memory. It's likely that if the tests were in a

Virtualization does, most virtualization platforms require dedicated lanes for each VM and devices assigned to the VM for dedicated situations.

Short answer: it depends. Long answer: Intel and AMD loooove length prefixes that basically move the base instruction into a new space. Because x86/x86-64 is a variable length ISA they can get away with this. When people like to talk I

So what I'm somewhat curious about is if this isn't an argument for heterogeneous GPU usage. Schedule this on an iGPU while the main GPU is busy. The main downside, as I alluded to above, would be memory bandwidth unless there is

A few thoughts: * This might be a good candidate for a compute shader, the swizzle abilities of shaders make quite a few of the things they are doing much easier as does the faster memory connections GPUs (usually) have. * The committee is

It has always amused me that NTFS and NT Kernel are both case sensitive when it comes to filenames. But WIN32 emulates the case insensitive legacy behavior because people won't fix, or can't fix legacy code. That said applications
