No, cynical is what we should be about capitalism.

I think you can totally start a .NET Runtime for a plugin. There are windows explorer plugins written in .NET - I know because Raymond Chen analyzed how they broke things :) If you have freedom then you have the the freedom to make mistakes

You assume I know anything about SOM. Everything uses the bare bones vtbl. That's how there can be so many things, they're all using the bare bones vtbl. Obviously there's application specific stuff as well because a bare bon

But it should. If you can get energy to flow one way between things at the same physical temperature that seems to violate thermodynamics and allow for perpetual motion.

Italy tried to get the path from complaint to takedown to under 30 minutes which necessarily involves absolutely no judicial oversight. This resulted in them taking down things like Cloudflare, Google Drive, and the Italian government.

It's still the same object pointer. The GC can't force close a channel when it has no readable references left.

Mostly because the Gameboy doesn't have any IO register to reformat your hard disk. If the emulator interpreted some instruction as reformatting your hard disk, that would be a bug because it's not interpreting it as whatever it a

What do you think an emulator is?

Because it only matters whether people actually switch away from them.

They're scanning all IPs all the time. If your home router has a public IP and a firewall log, check it

Weird hill to die on. My understanding is they refused to 100% ban it just because it's AI, but quality standards still apply so there won't be much. We need to differentiate "no AI because it's slop" and "no A

If you are writing to it before reading from it then it's not uninitialised, and in 99% of cases the compiler can see that and will not set it to 0 at its declaration because that's a dead store.

You might ask why it's important that the first loop terminates since in this case the extra side effect would just be a dead store - but if the first loop doesn't terminate then it's possible B is an invalid pointer and then

This is about market share of a nonprofit - it's users.

Ooh, I think you're right. Even better if it can bypass more annoyances, cookie popups, captchas and (if legal) paywalls. Maybe it should have Libredirect built in. It could be a user agent, instead of a site owner agent.

How much do you know about Graphene? It literally disables JavaScript JIT for security.

Has transformed. Landlords are literally feudalism, and so is the mobile phone duopoly now that mobile phones aren't optional. So are the banks now that banks aren't optional.

Xiaomi claims to provide unlocking, but doesn't actually. I don't know about Oppo.

Because it's a totalitarian state that does not tolerate dissent? It's the same reason North Korea requires all devices to be bootloader locked to RedStarOS, but weaker.

Notice that I said "consumer". You have listed server features, developer features and nerd features.

On Windows those libraries are part of the application package. On Linux they're supposedly part of the OS, they're designed to be part of the OS and the loader is trying to get them from the OS, but is redirected to get them from

Fault isolation is good, but are the fault isolation benefits worth everything else though? Windows COM does have a way to run the server out-of-process with a performance cost, and this fact is transparent to the client (if it only uses CO

But it doesn't have to, because you call AboutToUpdateCode and the LSP doesn't return until it's safe, and then you update code and call DoneUpdatingCode.

Classes and metaclasses sound like architecture astronomy here. COM is fundamentally just a standard ABI and a way to look up DLL paths in the registry. There are more layers on top of that, but that's the basics and all you need for a

Big assumption that the editor, which is required to make calls synchronously, would make them on a different thread. Isn't correctness more important than avoiding plugin calls in the UI thread? The good thing about having an actual f

There are different types of piracy sites. The public ones have a short shelf-life. It's more difficult for the government to prove that a site that requires invites to access actually exists, and the extremely closed sites last until

This is extremely strange. Shouldn't this be impossible by the second law of thermodynamics? Receiving more energy when a resistor in thermal equilibrium is connected to an antenna seemingly implies that energy gets transferred from an

A screen pattern is a different way to enter a PIN with no duplicate digits. Both PINs and patterns rely upon the security processor to resist bruteforces.
