Single precision is a 15-bit fixed point number in the range between -1 and 1. Apparently in most cases this was enough for moon flights. There was also double and triple precision that were used sometimes. Of course, in many places in the

AGC assembler uses unusual mnemonics, so it can be difficult to understand for someone who doesn't know the architecture. The CPU has onle accumulator which instructions act on. The argument is normally an address. The relevant instruc

That's true, and I think FD knows about this. After all, it took many years for them to deliver it, and it's pretty much presented as a hame of its own. But they had to develop this. The fans have been asking for it since forever.

Most VMs in Qubes does not come with a full OS. They're based on templates, which isn't too different from the system packages of Flatpak. Also, Python developers seems to be dealing with this stuff on a daily basis with virtualen

It's been easier to achieve this on mobile platforms due to the fact that it's not dependent on old API's that doesn't take compartmentalisation into consideration. I guess it also helps that mobile users are not general

In fact, the compile is free to assume that the comparison itself will never happen and not emit any of the paths.

I have, and while it's likely that I would be able to use it correctly, it's not something most regular users would be able to configure. And to be honest it seems that to configure firejail to be as secure as possible takes a lot

Doesn't macos give full access to a trusted application? In order words, if I decide to trust a binary I downloaded from the Internet, it will be able to touch all my files? What I want to see if that the files an application can use b

My point is that I work like that with current IDE's when using Qubes OS. What I suggest is that Flatpak could provide something similar, by having a completely separate filesystem used by the tool.

The answers are good, with the exception of one point that I disagree with. In the article, the author states that IDE's obviously need to have full file system access in order to work. This is papering over the fact that development t

This site has been posted here multiple times in the past. I'd still like to know what the author suggests the alternative should be? I'm a Qubes OS user, which indeed is a much better solution in terms of security, but it comes w

Both of these hits home. Working at Sun in the late 90's, Java was a big thing, and while Sun was clearly way too early in their push for a universal virtual machine that could run anything, at the time people were complaining that Jav

Another effort worth mentioning is BQN, which is a really nice solution for anyone that wants to gets started on an APL-like language. It's very much APL, but designed without a lot of the historical limitations. The documentation is r

BQN is really impressive, and implements a language which is similar to APL, but without a lot of the legacy baggage that Dyalog has gathered over the years. For someone that wants to get started with array languages and does not have any n

I'm taking the opportunity to mention my project that implements a language that is inspired by, and is mostly compatible with APL. It has some major differences, such as being lazy evaluated and providing support for first-class funct

If course they do. It's called a dual currency deposit. Suffice it to say that a bank would never accept these, but they can easily convince customers to do it since the published interest is much higher than a regular deposit.

7-segment numbers are available in Unicode now though. Take a look at U+1FBF0 to U+1FBF9. To be fair, they are there for Atari ST character set compatibility, but it may be an interesting fact.

If they need that, they can use Matrix. There is really no reason to move to a closed ecosystem.

Only for applications that are well-behaved. Nixos doesn't enforce any of the isolation, which is something that disappointed me when I tried it the first time. If a program wants to mess up another program's private directory, th

And both Java and Javascript, an thus any language derived from from them. I'd go as far as saying that a majority of the code being written today uses UTF-16. With these languages not even providing alternative API's that are eas
