The grandparent is saying that if you run plain Ubuntu directly on a device, Ubuntu (or really, the Linux kernel) might not have drivers that work reasonably well for some hardware on that device, while Windows most certainly does have dece

At least with GNAT, it isn't that bad - you don't have to port support for tasking when targeting an architecture or OS - e.g. there's it supports bare-metal on many ARM boards, the runtime+glue needed is not much more than f

Those are quite old concepts - I would imagine any patent to have expired by now. They are also available in almost all embedded/rtos ecosystems.

ICE cars in Norway enjoy a 25% sales tax and quite a lot of taxes for the co2 emisions, engine size etc. Most low end cars end up just short of 100% in taxes, high end cars up to 200%, and luxury cars are a lot more. Electric cars would not

Paypal can't know that you're not doing money laundry even if they have the bank info on both sides. Paypal will err on the side of caution and will often block your transfers, no matter how many documents you can produce that cla

Note that you can certainly express "An Electric Car, is a kind of Car, which is a kind of Vehicle" in Go by using interfaces - albeit such kinds of relations are rarely needed in business logic in my experience.

Most of the time, runtime speed is far, far less important than developer speed.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to convey. If you send 100 packets with 10 bytes payload(or TCP segments if you will), I hope it is obvious that there are more overhead (Ethernet/IP/TCP header of 100 packets) com

Most (at least most non consumer devices) supports ethernet frames of up to about 9000 bytes - aka Jumbo Frames.

This is not how an assembly programmer sees this problem. (memcpy is often hand coded in assembly). This means the code takes advantage of CPU pipelines and branch predictions, which means the source/destination pointer might be de-re

It's not that black and white. When someone has IP that is included in an international standard, there are room for debate.

It's just a very loaded opinion, while you pretend it's a universal fact. I have never heard, nor experienced, any seasoned C++ developer claiming that smart pointers is a substitute for garbage collection. Yes, smart pointers are

ASCII very much exists - but what you describe is an entierly different thing. Sure - if the change is from default-user-locale to UTF-8, things would break. But if the changelog is truthful, and the change is from ASCII to UTF-8, things sh
