Cadence for example, the software that the engineers design and run simulations of the latest and greatest ICs with, from HN's favorite RISC Vs to Nvidia's 4090, only runs on SLES and RHEL. ANSYS fluid dynamics simulator is anothe

Their rendering engines choose the OS native one. They have abstractions over that. For example they'll use DirectWrite on Windows. Implementing a partial GUI toolkit is just another thing in the list of extremely hard problems in brow

OS level includes the core system libraries in the userspace. Of course you can argue no such thing exist in Linux. It is the odd one among all OSes, both major and minor, in not providing any stable and well-defined system layer. The lack

Do you know which continent invented and the sole seller of the most precise litography machines? How about lenses? How about the best electrical infrastructure products with even IoT?

Why should they be thicker? Metals are resilient and strong. That's why we use them to build all sorts of stuff. I expect metal bodies to be thinner not thicker.

Since Electron can be considered the browser chrome itself, the developer can access to its lower level API to customize those things. You can also set the dark mode in CSS.

This is a non-answer though. Most of the web is in HTTP nobody can change that.

I wonder if there is a way to override the entire web with a custom stylesheet plugin like Stylus for Firefox.

But you do know that the original one is the one in Louvre and saw a least a detailed photo of it, maybe even the real thing. Racist, misogynist or whatever, the art in its original form is still there. When the books are censored the oppos

TBH their appliances were never good quality compared to locally European or American manufactured ones. They always bet on tech enthusiasm and the short term wooing of the users. Their software is almost always short-term supported and deg

Iran's centrifuges weren't connected either. However Stuxnet was indeed successful.

You're mixing implementations and the ISA. A RISC-V chip can be as daunting as any other x86 and I can assure you they will be. Those modes are one of the ways to enforce export controls. Any competitive chip has something similar, say
795.
by okanat 4y ago
No. RISC-V is just the ISA spec. It doesn't give you an actual chip. Producing an actual reasonably fast CPU is much much more challenging. So RISC-V can be as modular as it can be, it is up to the manufacturers to create chips using i

You're comparing system call interfaces to higher level standard API defaults. Not really an apples to apples comparison. System calls are special low-level interfaces. The requirement for reading their docs carefully and general care

MS is almost perfect in this matter. You can still run Win 2k binaries. Most proper Windows applications do ship many libraries but they are often really special purpose or actually part of the application via plugin interfaces. On Windows

Nope. They depend on fuse2 which isn't shipped with Opensuse which ships fuse3.

I am one of the developers who maintain our embedded Linux distro. I use WSL2 to compile it. I used Linux desktops for 15 years as my primary desktop previously and I will never go back to Linux desktop. I spend less to no time on Windows f

System programming doesn't mean kernel and embedded only. The huge portion of C++ programs are running in the user space because one may still want performance benefits, direct access to memory via well-defined struct layout and direct

Unlocking will resolve the issue by definitely destroying all your data forever since it is designed to be a destructive process. You cannot save your data from a locked and encrypted phone after it is broken in a way that prevents it from

Company size is not directly relevant. Lastpass had multiple and quite bad breaches in the last couple of years. They grew bigger but their tech didn't catch up with the modern standards. The origin of biggest leaked password databases

Yes and no. While verifying you should benchmark too. Maybe the inline option is slower! Don't try to outclever or force compiler to do weird things and be knowledgeable about limitations due to compilation steps and the ABI limitation

I wouldn't want to work for some company whose founder can be openly toxic against a project that solves an actual problem.
