The history of RAD is a history of media read speeds - playing back full-motion video from a CD on a PS2 with its near-zero available CPU resources was a superhuman effort. So low-overhead (fast) decompression is essential for AAA titles. B

Backstory: GnuPG is a program, not a library, and attempts to use it as one involve parsing its stdout (e.g. using GPGME) Thunderbird renders untrusted HTML content and therefore is subject to a steady stream of CVEs and must stay absolutel

There was a massive wave of phones being sold with unlocked bootloaders with preinstalled malware. How do you stop this? Unscrupulous retailers would buy thousands of your latest phone, root it and sell it for $1 less than MSRP, and make mu

Mipmaps aside - I remember texture pop-in being a common complaint for the original RAGE (and being one of the complainers). But i replayed it recently on a regular SSD and the effect was barely noticeable at all. So i'm confident that

It's unlikely this is a "leak" per se - the source code can be straightforwardly recovered from the trial version of Github Enterprise, see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13875993 or (more comments

DX12 and Vulkan are realistically, too low-level for ordinary applications to use - but engines like Unity and UE4 get to implement native multigpu without having to adversarially hack around driver multigpu behavior. Sure it has to be done

(2016) The versioning and slice sorting have since been solved, by go.mod and sort.Slice respectively. The problem with "Make it an error to not initialise a struct field" is you lose source compatibility when adding new struct fi

This is a basic disassembly done with JD, full of obfuscated variable names, not any kind of leaked source.

Precomp works by brute-forcing the zlib/.../ parameters used to get byte-identical input; then decompressing; and (optionally) recompressing with a stronger compressor. It was closed-source for a long time and AntiX was an open so

The 1.0 SDK also (finally!) includes a static .lib version of the WebView2Loader.dll, so you may be able to convert that to a _syso and link it in directly instead of using go-winloader.

Almost everything really big and complicated has been upstreamed by now (binder, ashmem, EAS, many Qualcomm drivers, ...). Some commercial phones can boot Android from a mainline kernel including the Pixel 3 and the Poco F1. https:/&#

The codesigning system for APKs is considered secure, and in fact the Google Apps public key signatures are embedded into Android itself instead of just being the normal TOFU (this is why MicroG requires a whole separate ROM instead of just

It's not true, though, a 64-bit pinball binary is included on the Windows XP 64-bit media. I had posted this on the Old New Thing comments at the time, but comments on all old posts were lost in the blog transition.

Pessimistically for telemetry, but I suspect some of them are Javascript apps in a lightweight shell that have actual technical difficulties making a TCP IMAP connection.

What exactly is shot-based encoding doing here? Even old XviD would reliably always insert a new I-frame / start a new GOP on a scenecut, and perform global rate optimization based on scene complexity within the target ABR parameters.
