I wonder, do they sell retail licence or re-sell OEM licence at retail price? Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone really buys Windows at retail prices. Enterprise (subscription) and OEM costs are much lower, and for personal use you can buy

Then why original Yandex founder is under EU sanctions? Spoiler: because until June 22 (effectively until the sanctions hit) he was a Yandex CEO and owner of 8% shares (45% voting shares). There is no "almighty Kremlin" that owns

There is an interesting take that Russian part of the Yandex group opensources as much as possible, in order for the overseas companies of the group to leverage technologies without legal or financial ties with Russia. For me this seems ver

Sure, the point is that semver cares only about the API. Thus it's not really applicable to anything but userland libraries.

If Linux used semver, it'd never go past 1.x. Public kernel API never breaks, ever. So what's the point for semver?..

I think it was somewhat common trope in sci-fi novels of 80s and 90s to justify virtual commute as a camouflage for loading time. Back when fastest Internet was 56k, it made sense.

When I first saw the new design, I thought something in the lines of "oh, again, changing what wasn't broken for no good reason". Then I started to get used to it... and realized it _is_ better than the old one. First of all,

I'd argue that's a myth. If you use peripherals from 2012, and do simple office tasks, maybe. Try watching 4K (or FHD 50 fps) video on a 4K display on Sandy Bridge with a GPU from that era. Try editing iPhone video and raw photos.

The mere existence of Widevine is a mystery for me. How sensible for Netflix is to invest into DRM at all? It's not a gamedev situation, where DRM lasts long enough to make impact on initial sales. Pirated Netflix shows appear on the t

It isn't a solved problem because standards are evolving. The most noticeable ones are related to encryption, but there are also HTTP2, WebSockets, QUIC and other protocols you need to speak on the web.

They're solid, but they're not the best. Top x86 CPUs are twice as fast. And power consumption just doesn't matter that much for a high-end desktop anyway.

by reisse 4y ago
I wonder how much performance is really "despite" x86, and how much is thanks to it. To this day, x86 CPUs absolutely dominate everything in compute power. Sure, ARMs are better in performance-per-watt game, but the question of ho

Yes, on the scale of FAANG, the "I won't be in this position after a year" attitude shifts from C-level down to upper and middle management. I think it's because when you're a CEO of any of top-10 S&P500 compani
