Honestly the concept here is not new, and the more I think about it the more likely I see levels of storage from fastest to slowest (and capacity in the same vein) ranging from batteries/capacitors to pumped storage systems. Between al

I think it's worth noting that in kernel-land most things have fixed maximum sizes anyway. So while a VLA may seem like it's saving time it is probably cheaper to just use a fixed size array in most situations. In the cases where

IIRC google and the like solve this using a special time routine in their kernels that literally just spread the second out across the day. It's close enough.. and legal will still accept it for auditing requirements.

We used to have separate stream recycling here... it was actually easier, you put glass and metal in one bin, I believe 1&2s in the next and 3s in the third, everything else was tossed.

I dealt with it peripherally in my last job. Apparently the only reason Office has a 64bit version at all is Oil and Gas was causing Excel to run out of ram and demanded it. We were developing a COM addin, and we had clients complain that w

As much as I can imagine MS would love to kill VBA it would be a major loss of business if they did. Oil and Gas lives in the stuff and would probably even sue MS if VBA died. That said could it be getting a much needed fixup... probably. I

I'm saddened to say I didn't gasp, I was more saddened that his demons had finally claimed him. Bourdain struggled with addiction in the past and stated flat out when talking about it the reasons he got into drugs in the first pla

I think the biggest issue would be the audit. Recall that NT started out as part of OS/2 which is owned by IBM. I suspect that Edge/IE has similar issues, because it was evolved from NCSA Mosaic it probably has legal issues preven

Courts have a tendency to look on this as criminal contempt and refer the lawyer and the client to the various AGs when this happens.

Reviews are protected speech, this has been litigated multiple times and has precedent in the US. If you live in an area with a SLAPP law I would suggest getting an attorney to file a SLAPP motion for you. The onus is then on the plaintiff

Lower network traffic (No DHCP and associated overhead), simpler routing (IPv6 is only CIDR). That may not seem like much but that's actually pretty huge to mobile carriers where that can translate into hours of battery life on the dev

Not in the US Navy. Part of the reason the US Navy standardized on PWR is that while it's not the most efficient it is something you can restart at depth if necessary. The lesson of how much that matters was driven home by the loss of

Can you explain why this would be the case? In theory this shouldn't be an issue because any ShiftJIS conversion to Unicode should be reversible.

This is actually kinda painful with NTFS as NTFS doesn't really care what's in a path other than the directory separators it's all binary. This means that different applications using different Unicode normalization will resu

Given what I've seen of his code, I'm not surprised. When I mentioned the stdlib I wasn't joking. His code is unable to use modern compiler optimizations such as move, RVO, and constexpr because he's using idioms that pr

If you can convince him to use Control Flow Guard, Stack Canaries, and HE-ALSR then you should be nominated for for whatever the security community has as an equivalent to a Nobel prize. If you can convince him to get rid of his custom garb

Technically that depends on the agreements with IANA. If IANA could say "HEY YOU if you're not using 80% of your space actively, by January after next then we'll charge you a an exponentially increasing fee" I suspect th

Yes, but not that's not the whole problem. There are plenty of special interests that want their carve out. But honestly that's not even the major source of cost. The major source of cost is processing returns at all. If the IRS w

Maybe, large pages are such a specialty feature on windows that generally speaking this use case was never supported. I'm not saying the crashes shouldn't be fixed. But VirtualAlloc should fail much faster because there are no lar

In reading the article it's clear this is not a bug, it's API abuse. The documentation for VirtualAlloc is very clear that Large Pages should be a one time allocation thing are not intended for general malloc replacement.

I'm not surprised at Igor's response, it's in keeping with his refusal to use modern compilers, security features, sign his code, or support ALSR properly.

Forced labor is slavery, no matter how you put it. The fact of the matter is the 13th amendment needs to be fixed.

This is actually weirder than that. Most MS Office programs are still MDI, but emulate being SDI. If you open up two different Excel files there is still only one copy of Excel actually running. This can cause all sorts of headaches for som

Generally I'd stick to C++14 features but test and consider C++17 library features as those are usually much more stable. Around the C++20 timeframe C++17 should be fully stable.
