It'd be quite possible for a JIT to have the memory first writable but not executable when creating the code, then the other way around when running it. No need to be both at the same time.

“If they got unlucky and started testing for primes at the beginning of a huge gap, the algorithm would take a very long time to run.” Wouldn't it also mean that the first prime after such gaps will be selected more often, assuming a r

Using un-paired BLE devices you can do things such as adhoc mesh networking, which isn't possible with "old" Bluetooth. That's kind of cool, and possibly useful. I agree that general Bluetooth usability could be improved

by m_eiman 12y ago
despite the hype BLE turns out to be a niche technology with poor capabilities and questionable benefits. While I agree that beacons are over-hyped, I think it's worth pointing out that BLE does other things that I think are more use

It seems like a strange match to use LwIP (which is optimzed for small size to run on embedded systems) with a kernel optimized for speed. I'm guessing that a different IP stack would perform better, given the different constraints on

With iOS, Apple provides a service that event sources push their messages to, and a single TCP connection is maintained with the device regardless of the number of event sources. Google has something similar, if not identical.
578.
by m_eiman 12y ago
Yes, and it has to maintain TCP connections with every push source you've registered, including re-connecting whenever your network situation changes. IMHO, this will lead to a lot of wasted bandwidth. Might not be a problem on desktop

If you out your videos in a Quicktime .MOV file, you can put the intro in a separate file too, which can be placed anywhere (I think relative paths work too), you can even put a URL in there to load it from a server somewhere. Alternately,

There have been investigations and video inspection of the wreck. "Everyone" agrees that the official explanation is correct. The reason for covering the wreck is that the disaster was a major national catastrophe; if 800+ hadn&#x

Given a release announcement and an article citing multiple independent sources, I'd guess the article is more likely to give a balanced view of reality…

At least in Sweden, robot vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers have been mainstream tech for years. It's not just some enthusiast thing, a large portion of house owners have these things.

Not unique for a vacuum; Samsung have been selling SLAM-ing bots for four years, at least: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/samsung-navibot-sr8845-sr...

I'm really not sure why robots aren't already vacuuming our floors, raking the leaves and mowing our lawns by now. Eh, they are? It's not like this is the first of its kind. As far as I can see its claim to fame is a more p

I recently read that the start of the experiment had been postponed for a while because they hadn't managed to find a suitable researcher to follow it. Maybe they've found one now..?

If you think I’m exaggerating… just ask yourself… what other Apple API’s or Microsoft API’s get their own brand logo? For Apple, pretty much all of them. SceneKit, SpriteKit, HealthKit, CloudKit, … The list is long.

I don't get this "it makes things easier for a select few, so everyone else just has to suffer an over complicated system" thing. We should make the few suffer instead of the masses; optimize to lower global suffering. It sho

Same here; I stopped using ad blockers a long time ago since click-to-plugin performs the essential function they were providing for me. Perhaps I'll reconsider when "HTML5" ads get more annoying/use more resources.

Doesn't Word store old data in the .docx, for things like revision diffs and to make saving quicker? Unless the filesize is really small, there might be a way to extract the previous data... Maybe that was only in the old .doc format,

It references her blog post; this is just bullying and should be flagged as such.

Extrapolating a bit, the numbers for 8kb keys should be about 5 sign/sec, 500 verify/sec.
