Probably. It's possible that solving this problem in a satisfactory way would teach us something useful about number theory, that's useful in real world practical stuff. Andrew Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is ba

Ok I agree with you. Fine great. What are those numbers? The "drive it home" point of this article is a picture of a grieving mother flipping through a scrapbook looking at pictures of her dead kid. One of ten dead people caused b

Fixing this would be like eight steps forward: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 The annoying part is that hardware acceleration works on chrome OS, so we know the support is buried

Queue it. It's not particularly urgent that push notifications go out instantaneously. A 99th percentile latency of 5 minutes is fine.

Modern c++ makes lifetimes pretty implicit. Default assumption: all data lives in a value type, or an STL container. The destructor/copy constructors will automatically deal with lifetimes for you. Fallback #1: the remainder lives in a

False. AMD supported VP9 decoding as of UVD6. Their APUs got UVD6 in Carrizo, released in June 2015. Some Volcanic Islands GPUs (June 2015) had UVD6, with a full rollout of UVD6 in all Arctic Islands GPUs. (June 2016) Note that AMD didn&#x2

The former. iPhones and Intel CPUs have hardware that decodes many different codecs, including vp9 and h264. iOS and OSX have drivers that make hardware decoding available for h264, however they do not make available vp9 decoding, despite t

No, that's not the problem. Here is the problem. I make a widget. It costs me $10 US to manufacture. I go to the post office, and ship it to an address directly across the street. They charge $7. I go on AliExpress. I buy a similar wid

I've heard that angle, but it doesn't really make any sense. Samsung is also on that list, and all their SoCs since 2014 have had vp9 support. They've had vp9 support longer than HEVC. The MPEG-LA isn't so much a busines

No. Virtually all devices since 2015 have hardware accelerated vp9 decoding. iPhones have had it going back to the iPhone 6. Apple is refusing to enable it in software because... TBH I don't know why. It's royalty free. I literall

Yeah it really doesn't make any sense that it's not that way. I'd very much like to add the fcpca cert for .gov addresses and dod cert for .mil addresses, as I sometimes use these TLDs for work, but it doesn't make any s

Sort of. Wine impersonates OS calls, (including syscalls) but does not perform emulation on the binary itself. Wine can only run windows applications written for x86, but not windows applications written for itanium. This appears to be runn
