The whole point of virtualization is you're running as close as possible to directly on native hardware. That's literally what makes virtualization distinct from emulation for VMs. If you're trying to run an x86 client OS you

Any RSA scheme must pad messages, otherwise you can leak huge amounts of information. A high level approximation of what I vaguely recall from back when I worked on crypto (non scam money version) you get stuff along the lines of ((p^m1 mod

Siphoning only works if the destination is lower than the source, otherwise you're looking at free energy, which would definitely be a win for everyone :D Suez is (was? lets ignore geopolitics instead of physics for now) so successful

The problem is not putting bits onto the screen, that's all SDL does. It does not integrate at all with the host platform, to an even greater extent that chrome based crapware. 1. That's an opinion, not a fact, and most "decl

This is part of the problem - people find RSA much easier to "understand" than ECC, and as a result prefer it to ECC, despite RSA being much worse :-/ (I also question "understanding RSA", I think people understand

Yes, the problem is easy crappy apps are cheaper for developers even if they're worse for users. The alternative "single UI framework" is "everyone must run the same OS". As long as people keep buying/using cra

Stop accepting these BS "apps" that are just web pages being loaded in a full copy of chrome. It's mind blowing to me that so many people accept these "cross platform" apps that are just as bad today as java "c

You can write plenty of Mac and iOS programs - and much of the OS, and even XNU are - in C++. You can't use the UI toolkits, because time has shown again and again that C++ is particularly bad at UI toolkits, but also as my other longe

You can create new projects in C++, you can't create new projects using UI Cocoa, UIKit, or SwiftUI in C++ because those APIs are not in C++, because C++ is generally bad as a language for APIs where ABI stability is important, but als

Well that’s a completely false statement. C++ is a first class language, and all C++ APIs and ABIs are stable. It is used extensively across macOS and iOS, and has large amounts of support through out the apple provided dev tools. Significa

How would federation solve this problem? The reason there's anything in the airdrop protocol that can be converted to a person is to allow your device to say who is sending it if you know their identity already, and/or to filter

Aren’t their margins a product of producing better products? Market power implies it’s because nvidia is using methods other than better products to keep its prices high.

As @kevincox says there's a problem where if one browser does it, then users complain a site "works in this-generations-IE" forcing the other browsers to duplicate the behaviour. But one other problem that happens isn't

My first thought was if that hit someone it could kill them, and then i remembered an entire door fell off as well, and all apparently landing in a suburban neighborhood.

Still amazing that MD spent years blaming multiple failures of people working in the ground rather than being dragged on the coals for making an aircraft that could fail catastrophically due to an invisible error made by a single hypothetic

I think g-b-r's point is that their "users" are the product. Google is an advertising company.

yeah, it cannot be emphasized enough the hazards of with() like constructs in languages with dynamic types and dynamic variable lookup are drastically different. That's why it was a mistake for it to be in JS, and why it was deprecated

by olliej 3y ago
The problem with this is it tremendously simplifies the issues of with(), and this simplification makes the semantic and performance impacts of with() seem much less bad that they actually are. For semantic impact: it's not just walkin

I literally worked on the webkit for most of a decade. I also worked on and developed a lot of ITP. ITP is not 3rd party cookie blocking. 3rd party cookie blocking has been the default in safari and webkit since literally the first beta.

Literally from the first beta release of safari more than a decade ago 3rd party cookies were not allowed by default. ITP is not about 3rd party cookies, ITP is first and second party cookies where people use indirect load mechanisms to cir

Just as a reminder to folk, safari never allowed third party cookies by default, and when google made chrome they made the choice to enable third party cookies as the primary purpose of chrome is to support google's ad business. Anythi
