   Those who were there at the beginning of the Valve Linux Offensive (circa 2012) will remember Gabe Newell stating that the main driver for investing in Linux is their dependency on Windows as a platform. I see a problem that is just as bi

   They've got a serious design issue on mobile. Compare the two screenshots below: https://twitter.com/m_eiman/status/913863382364770304 Which one is using text that is somewhat on the small side, and which one

   Seems like a way to fail safe, which is what you should want.

   If you order through a service like Postmates, be generous with your workers. We scraped together only about $9.00 per hr for our eight hours of work, even before accounting for the cost of gas and the time we saved by working as a group.

   I have something similar on my MBP late 2012, running latest OS. I've switched to Safari on that machine to avoid running out of battery and maxing the fans.

   Couldn’t they do this with a copy-on-write initial heap that all the engine instances clone?

   Required maintenance for a simple, static http site: none. Required maintenance for a simple, static https site: configure let’s encrypt and keep the cron job running. Big difference? Not for some, but it sure is something that offers very

    Metal release date: 2014 Vulkan release date: 2016 (announced 2015) So since somebody made a non-compatible clone a couple of years later, Apple should have ditched their work and lost the power to make decisions as they see fit in the proc

    This is like the web variant of Vulcan/Metal/etc, isn't it? Lower level API than GL.

    One case where it might help is shared hosting: you don't know which of the domains hosted on that IP you're accessing. Narrows it down to just a few though, so IMHO not a big improvement.

    As a reply to other threads that ask if this means Apple will switch to AV1: encoding speed is the number one reason presented as a benefit of HEVC in one of the WWDC talks on HTTP streaming. So... I'd guess they'll still record t

    Untrusted code within the same process seems like it'd be harder for the CPU do something about, since it can't know what portions of the address space are trusted and not.

    I’m wondering if the Mill would evade Spectre 1 and 2, have they said enough yet to speculate about that?

    "the Product will substantially conform to Intel’s publicly available specifications" They're saying that it should work as specified for the most part. And apparently the CPUs do, since they've been in continuous use fo

    What they're saying is that they'll replace your chip if it behaves differently from all the other chips of the same model, not if ALL the chips are broken by design.

    I've read somewhere, that I can't find at the moment, that Apple expects/promises that Mac batteries will retain 80% capacity after 1000 cycles, and iOS devices will retain 80% after 500 cycles. The lower cycle number for iOS

    Indeed. I’m just a bit fed up with all the low signal-to-noise ratio comments on stories about Apple and Google (not to mention Bitcoin, ugh), sorry about that. The Pro looks like something I wouldn’t mind using, but there’s no way I could
