My suggestion is aim for compatibility with cppwinrt, but not anything else. That way devs can freely intermix and get the best of the utilities of both.

Looks like a good start. I'm not actually sure I'd use it on windows however. CPPWinrt has a really decent coroutine support library with tools like winrt::resume_background() [1], I use it extensively even in desktop apps because

Can they be cleaned up? Yes. Is it economical? Probably not. But, in theory one could bring them up in a sealed box, then incinerate them on the ship. This would require literally building a ship for that one purpose with very specialized e

I can't speak for others but HSTS is a major reason. Not everybody wants to deal with setting up certs for every single application on a network but they want HSTS preload externally. I get why for AWS the solution of having everything

Is this the same software Curious Marc is using to emulate a DSKY/AGC for their apollo comms project? Or are they using something custom spun up to support the hardware they are working on?

The pedant in me wants to point out that most 486s couldn't play MP3s (they just don't have the horsepower, an AM-586 or a DX4 maybe) and you'd need a Pentium. /pedant OK now to my real point. Vista is actually a really

Interesting, very interesting. Curious that the PI spec doesn't include update dates on the versions. The MP spec was introduced in 1.5 and I have no idea when that was released.

This is fine if you're only running on a single core, however if you're a multiprocessor OS you still need to deal with legacy when bringing up the other cores. Intel and AMD should consider a mode that disables that and brings up

It depends. Fully soaked ground will actually preserve wooden piles (wood decay is aerobic and requires oxygen). This is why Venice and New Orleans are both built on them (sinking issues aside because they have other issues). The piles in b

Allegedly there are already off list SKUs from both AMD and Intel that don't support 16/32bit code and boot up without the legacy bits. How far they went in that? I don't know. I'd hope they removed LDT etc. and reduced

Oh it doesn't, AMD and Intel gave up on that awhile back. v8086 mode might... but I'd guess it has quite a bit of errata. Everything else has most certainly changed. CPUs don't support the A20 gate for example. Nor do they tr

If that's the case I'd encourage you to take away a few lessons from Salesforce: 1. IT is not your customer. The business is, and they don't know how to write code. Based on what I saw thus far; this is your biggest weakness.

I wish them the best, but I think they would have been best not drawing the comparison to Salesforce. IME people buy Salesforce not for the CRM but for the force.com platform. The ability to seamlessly build business logic over the entire f

They are however (by dropping the 32bit versions of Windows) dropping 16bit support. Which still exists in 32bit Windows 10 along with NTVDM (AKA DOS emulation). So I guess it's the end of the line for MSDOS?

It's a complicated issue. Part of the problem is nobody really wants to fix it because the costs will be enormous. When and if the regime falls it's going to take tens of billions of dollars in aid to keep it from destabilizing So
