What is that? Googling ersatz gcj gives your comment as the only relevant result. Also GCJ is/was a Java compiler as far as I am aware.

Having difficulty getting back on track after an interruption is part of ADHD (well, more difficulty than the average person, interruptions disrupts everybody's concentration to some degree). There is a high level of comorbidity betwee

Well, sounds like the only people you know to be autistic are low functional... Traits that may be beneficial in milder versions can often be detrimental if too expressed. If you are working with software developers then there's a good

I don't think Intel wants to waste resources (and get bad PR) if it isn't a significant threat to their bottom line. Microsoft saying they are going to emulate x86 on ARM with low overhead (and thus making it possible to switch to

It's a long answer that completely fails to address the possibility of validating ownership of the domain itself by e.g. adding a TXT record, which the ACME protocol already supports.

Is it actually possible to check the billing address? Because most places won't even accept my name as it is written on my card. So usually I just put something fake since they won't let me put the real information anyways. I have

It's second nature to anyone with knowledge of signal processing. Sure Fourier transforms are very useful, but let's not be led to think that there was anything novel in the design of the MP3 format.

Didn't think about this when I wrote the comment above, but the IoT import libs are of course 32 bit, and the new Windows for ARM here is 64 bit, so I guess it's not actually very useful. Still you can easily make your own inmport

by poizan42 9y ago
The import libs for Windows IoT seems to contain the full api surface, so we already have those - it's just that a lot of the functions are stubbed out in the actual dlls on the system.

For any Microsoft insiders with knowledge about this, a few questions: 1. In the talk they claim that they get "near native" speed from the translation. Can we have some real number of what can be expected? What about warm up time

A qualified guess would be that you can just install it, because the bootloader is Microsoft signed so it would pass the secure boot check. Edit: Apparently Surface 2 isn't AArch64, so probably not.

They say that it's a dynamic translation layer, so presumably it doesn't make a distinction about where the code came for (except maybe you'll lose some performance optimization if they are caching translated code)

Doesn't matter, the administrator can just enable their SeBackupPrivilege and SeRestorePrivilege and ignore those ACLs.

I just checked, and on my system without having changed anything, administrators (i.e. users in the Administrators group, including Administrator) are granted SeBackupPrivilege and SeRestorePrivilege, which are the "ignore access contr

C# can't because .NET has outright banned the usage. But now the length restriction has been lifted, at least in .NET Core. I think you still need Windows 10 with path length limitation disabled for the full .NET Framework. It's a

People could also stop using CreateFile without a \\? prefix and all the problems would go away. There's not even a MAX_PATH limit on any NT based Windows version if you do that.

But can you disable secure boot / add your own keys? I haven't seen that discussed anywhere.

[1996]. Are we to assume that this was in relation to early work on what became google? Was the GoogleBot originally written in Java? It could have been early research in relation to that, or it could have been some unrelated project Larry

So the Tunequest[0] article referenced got it wrong on the last two? I have a hard time figuring out what applies and does not apply to patents filed between 1995 and 1999 [0]: http://www.tunequest.org/a-big-list-of-mp3-pate

It probably hasn't been updated within the last two weeks... Edit: The wiki page[0] links to the Fraunhofer page[1] saying that the licensing program has been terminated... [0]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Multi

by poizan42 9y ago
The licensing money have probably helped the Fraunhofer Society do more research. Now whether that is the way you think research should be founded, and whether the net cost to society has been larger than the gain is another question.

The last known decoding patent expired in 2015. That last known patent covering mp3 at all expired two weeks ago. Edit: apparently there are two patents left in relations to encoder optimizations[0] not mentioned on the wikipedia pages. Tho

The very last patent expired 16 April 2017, so there wouldn't be any point in licensing expired patents.

I feel like that is missing the point. You need social engineering (and probably not an easy case) to get people to change the keys. Using a pre-made image that allows you to bypass secure boot by way of a windows driver with a known vuln i

Secure Boot is utterly broken (for general purpose pcs at least) anyways. I can just take an old windows kernel and boot with a configuration that loads a driver with a known vulnerability (a certain gpu manufacturer might be a good place t
