Most issues are in old implementations and on Windows, so it's not completely off base.

Companies do not make decisions. People do. So who was criminally negligent?

That's a pretty big claim. It potentially means the theory got close to a unified theory. Can a real physicist chime in?

If it was the topic of the board meeting, definitely not appropriate, but otherwise it's just the conversation was not meant for you. Can you imagine the abuse I'd catch if I complained about overhearing women talk about their per

You'd think so, but what we are wrestling with now is that vendors can create products (microelectronics) that are too difficult to reverse engineer that its operation is effectively a secret to all consumers. We're probably goi

I'm skeptical for a similar reason. This isn't really "crossplatform" it is "capable of running on a very small list of platforms which bundle a web browsing component."

This seems like a really short blog post on the subject. Is there anything that goes into greater detail, esp. with Linux perf tools?

It sticks around forever. I'm not aware of any real expungement that exists anymore, too many people got mad that e.g. repeat DUI offenders would be sentenced as if they'd never had a DUI before. There's also 3rd party databa

In most states the statute of limitations doesn't come into play if you're out of the state, for any reason. If you're inside the state but considered to be hiding, which might be inferred from your sudden failure to renew yo

Why is that? Are you uncomfortable with men expressing their sexuality? Or perhaps you see strippers as abused and taken advantage of? I personally think stripclubs arre a waste of money, but I know femenists that would take exception to ei

Yeah. The usual case is a container type or composing with a container type, but there are many "algebraic" types that you may wish to use if they could accept types to parametrize them over.

WinRT may have been buggy but the mobile OSes were not so bad. They had mobile OS releases mirroring XP, 7, 8/8.1, and 10. The problem is Microsoft made no commitment to non-secureboot hardware on non-Intel devices and all of these dev

Issue exists with instruction sets as well. If Oracle wins everyone who has written a compiler for an instruction set they did not have explicit permission to write one for is in violation.

For many crimes they just don't bother looking for you because you will eventually need to resolve the issue. This makes it seem like it is easier to hide than it is, but you're not really hiding. I guess what I am trying to cap

I think you should look at it in reverse. Why have cash bail? To save money and time. But when the state becomes technologically advanced enough that catching the accused is inevitable cash bail stops being an incentive that benefits the go

Yes, the Raptor Computing POWER systems are almost entirely open. The CPU is entirely open, save the die mask. It's worrying that these vulnerabilities are not disclosed in a way that lets people take control of their devices. That the

> The chipset, NIC, and BIOS/UEFI support matter. True but it has been shown a lot of motherboards that should not support these things do, or at least that they are software enabled features.

Yes. You can do most anything you can do with IPMI which includes loading a CD over the network to reinstall the OS or redirecting the serial port. On newer machines you can set the IME to connect to a IPsec tunnel when some conditions are

I don't think this is entirely true. The fascist† tendencies of those in charge created poverty and crime, but these tendencies are more the natural state of man than any personal moral failing.‡ In the early US it was pretty rare for

This can't be fought at every level but there are PoW schemes that focus on memory capacity, or bandwidth, etc, that are harder to optimize. It turns to problem from "tile these small functional units across silicon" into &qu

Well, the summary of the argument is that the python3 UTF-8 does not actually solve the fundamental problem of multiple encoding formats existing. Think: Do you know that the process actually returns UTF-8, or that the file is actually enco

One could see this as a push to incentivize the development of a very configurable analog front end for device to device communication. If it were intentional, that is.

See, it just broke when UTF-8 was interpreted as ASCII. It's entirely possible to treat bytes as bytes and leave encoding out of it for the vast majority of programs. If you're dealing with text editing and so on, then you know

Due to their high bandwidth I think we should have standardized around display connectors. It actually looks like USB-C "gives up" and just pushes out DP on unused copper? So it's like some super high bandwdith negotiation la

The main change people cite is the UTF-8 "support" but frankly it seems like far more pomp and circumstance than is necessary. Appropriate code point handling could have been provided and everything left as it was. And when you ge

The step from Ryzen to Threadripper is quite a big one. I'd benefit from a Threadripper system, but budget only allows a (top tier) Ryzen for now. I suppose spare money could go towards a Threadripper right now and I wouldn't cons

I see your point, but I think that is because of a lack of commitment to higher integration functional blocks. A lot of work done on a FPGA is very regular. I suppose LUTs could be the best way to do create the glue logic that basically amo

A lot of the inefficiency of FPGAs is signal routing. If you are very likely to implement X, Y, or Z, then it may just be more economical to put those into the FPGA as discrete circuits. At best maybe you can break them apart into common el
