In my case the app in question is about ~6MB and an occasionally used utility, I could make a setup version that dynamically loads things... but why? Most users would prefer to just use it, delete it, and if they need it again grab it again

The issue for a lot of devs is if you want to use any of the new stuff you can't ship a single file portable executable. You have to do a packaged installer. So MFC warts and all can still be faster and lighter than other options unfor

So back at one of my first jobs I worked a lot with XML, as a dev you often forget to test some of the odder corner cases but this had come up somewhere and I decided to test it... and lo and behold we failed horribly. Ever since then any t

Not a Windows Kernel Dev. But my understanding is it's more a tripwire than anything else unless virtualization based security is turned on. If that is activated then the Kernel has complete isolation from non-MS drivers and can preven

So parallels can be made to other places to show the danger. It's a slot canyon; only one that's generally constantly full versus empty most the year until the monsoon hits like those here in the US where I am. But the danger rema

Because VGA is fundamentally an analogue standard built around how a CRT works. Each bit of the signal serves a very defined purpose based on how a CRT and thus a vacuum tube works. This is also why VGA is so crazy to do digital capture for

Check your prices, that's more likely to be a bigger determiner than other things. For me it wouldn't make sense just because natural gas is so much cheaper right now. That is however subject to change. That said if I was installi

Current models work down to -10F without going linear. They'll still technically work beneath that but are basically the same as resistive electric at that point.

They appear to be localized to Maine. I'm pretty sure mine is cheaper for natural gas.

The cost is mostly in the installer based on the anecdotes of a well known technology youtuber in illinois. They are scared of installing heat pumps and carrying them allegedly. You may be able to buy compatible hardware on your own and get

Without examining the behavior of the specific wins my guess is memory. The M1 and M2 have amazing memory bandwidth. That's something their design needs as clock for clock they would be massively pipeline starved if they didn't be

I'd compare it to non-encrypted and signed pagestate in ASP.net or JSP, it works but it's completely untrustworthy. IMO this shouldn't be hard for apple to solve either, they can just create a key in keychain and use that to

If you're taking 10k or more in cash out of the country and fail to file a fincen-105 you can have all of the cash sized with no recourse. CBP regularly uses cash sniffing dogs for this purpose. https://www.fincen.gov/s

It's never been sanctioned but it is tracked. Every single time cash (the physical printed bills) flows through a federal reserve branch or even some mainline banks the serial is noted and reported to a database. They do this in case m

This is why I find this policy ironic and silly. MacOS is the largest target of choice for bad actors as late because the ratio of high value/low chance of rejection users have migrated to Mac over the past few years because of the who

Pretty sure a ferrite beads can shut this down anyway. But this seems like a more practical question of "If they can get that close do they really need this?" They've already had USB or software access in some form already.

I looked this up once, LEAVE is fast but ENTER is slower than just doing it by hand. So compilers will use LEAVE under some circumstances but ENTER is a dead instruction AFAIK, just like LOOP and a few others.

The fact this isn't coming from SciFive or Pinebook makes me suspicious as well, as does the massive lack of details. I can't find anything really on this OEM which is not promising. In this case they'd probably have been bet

Windows can also use beginTimePeriod() to set the timer resolution (sadly system wide) so if one needs a 1ms time period that is plausible with defaults. But you do have to set it. Otherwise you have to depend on the variable tick timer to

It's reasons like this that I don't necessarily see LHC or whatever rev of it as a problem per se. If the technologies developed to get there pay back the cost of the collider then it could end up being a very expensive toy and I

Operating systems where you need to be able to atomically insert or remove from a list. Because the links are just pointers and the memory can be managed after the swap you can use atomics to compare and swap pointers. This allows for the R

That might even be ideal insofar as the chipset is driver compatible with equivalent from the time. Via wasn't anything special but they were super common and thus decently supported IIRC.

I recall awhile back Linus Tech Tips pointed out that the primary failure point for old machines wasn't the CPUs which tend to be piling up cheaply (I can't say how true this is for pre PIII parts) but instead the motherboards. I
