Probably better hardware support. Also FreeBSD installation has been extremely arcane until recently. I'm a long BSD fan, worked professionally on FreeBSD kernel and used OpenBSD a lot (and still do!). However you can find BSD in many appli

What do you mean by a "less beefy CPU"? Once you've been able to design the new CPU and test it, it doesn't make sense to have an older/slower design. You could reduce the cache, but it would probably more expensive to build. If one of your

It's ok for an user program to "hint" the kernel, but the problem with this approach is that it becomes the solution for many problems the kernel should take care of. After all the purpose of the operating systems is to solve the hard nuts

Yes, however I think you can get a 15-puzzle situation - even if you do this only for waking the process - when you wake a lot of process at the same time on a machine with many cores. I really prefer Linus suggestion, even if it's the hard

I'm very surprised by the hack that reduces the area of possibles for a process to two CPUs. This will cause other problems when 32+ cores computers get more common. I'm even more surprised by "some benchmarks show it's faster, let's merge

You're right to bounce on the "advance the species" part, however I think one way to see it is to keep in mind that governments generally act in the interests of pressure groups, are inefficient and take decisions based on ideology more tha

Capital is what remains after tax. During the life of the company the structure paid social and income tax. Strongly taxing what remains (wealth) is not only unfair (What, how did you manage to produce wealth? Let's tax it!) but results i

The security of the infrastructure lies in the backbone, not the terminals. If you "own" the backbone you can spy and/or paralize the whole country.

It's much better to translate SE into C++ exceptions and handle that gracefully (if possible). See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5z4bw5h5(v=vs.80).as... You can log or report a lot of useful information, such as the stack trace

"Much better unemployment insurance" => I don't follow you, there's already one of the most generous unemployment insurance of the world in France.

Hi, I run a business for a couple of years in France now and you're factually wrong and mixing things up. There's a difference between a lay off for economical reasons by a big company (which can afford it) and a small company trying to get

We don't need more help, we already have a lot of it. We're one of the most generous country of the OECD in terms of help for R&D. If you add more help, companies will stay in France as long as they can benefit them an relocate the minu

You actually need exceptions anywhere you do new, unless you exclusively use new(std::nothrow) (hint: you don’t). On top of that the STL may throw exceptions such as std::out_of_range as I responded in another comment. And again, you have t

by shin_lao 14y ago
I'm afraid you might be confusing a parameter supplied to the memory allocator (e.g. nothrow) and the throwing specifications of the STL. Example: some containers throw std::out_of_range if you access a non-existing element and this has not

by shin_lao 14y ago
If you use C++ without exceptions, it means you cannot use the STL or any library that throws. Pretty weak. Additionally, almost all examples of "exceptions are bad", fall short because of RAII (at least in C++) or finally clauses (in other

Take it is easy, the name of the product/company doesn't matter too much. Our software currently has a crappy name (wrpme) and as it's being successful we're simply in the process of rebranding it. The crappy name didn't prevent us from mak

You might have a bias against WP. I own a Lumia and the experience is good, WP7 is a very decent OS.

They really have good products with the Lumia phones. I think they will make it, however I agree it will probably not as an independant company.

I agree with the "haters gonna hate" part, but he's got a point regarding the price point. It seems a bit high given the CPU power you get.

What the article is saying is that they are either clueless or dishonnest. They will never ship the bulb and you cannot fund such project based on a video.
