Most mental health workers know that the popular conceptions about what schizophrenia is and how its managed are wrong.

Please explain why half of optimizing java involves statically pre-allocating memory and trying to avoid the automatic memory management then

if you have a decade of C then you know its not slower unless mistakes are made

oooo manual memory management scary. the absolute state of web programmers today
246.
by soup10 7y ago
true but it could also be very efficient, especially in cases where you have the exact hardware to test on like a game console

yea its a lot of "guesswork" and trial and error trying to optimize cache usage though
248.
by soup10 7y ago
more of a hardware problem... if CPU's let you directly address and manage L1, L2, L3 cache memory high performance programmers would love it and languages like C++ would immediately add support.

i'm sure they've cracked some of them and can brute force others faster than anyone realizes. but they also are probably very good at targeting specific people/machines and getting the encryption keys they want, especially if

you think that the thousands of NSA employees whose mission it is to collect and analyze that data just sat around and declared defeat after they started encrypting it? lol

Its amazing how quickly sites can fall when management makes a bonehead move and the community turns against it, reminds me of Digg.

yes.. they split fiber pipes, if encrypted they use undisclosed zero days to steal encryption keys or try to break the encryption with super computers. these tactics are are all well known.

I believe you, but I also believe the NSA and others siphon that data and archive it so it's kind of a minor point if google keeps it or not, privacy is a relative term these days. We can be fairly confident since the Snowden revelat

Kind of a weird acquisition if they don't want them for Fortnite dev, why not just make a publishing deal.

Realistically they've run out of blockbuster new products and are just hoping high-end phone and tablet sales will keep growing enough to keep their stock from cratering. Acquiring Disney makes no sense since they are completely diffe

I don't visit facebook anymore, its just filled with low quality content from people I barely know, nothing to do with propaganda.

Overyhped stock market cap aside, their annual revenue(not profit mind you) in 2018 was 50B, a fine of 10% of yearly revenue is a huge hit for any company, another 0 would of put them out of business.

by soup10 7y ago
Not a fan of facebook but $5B is a big fine, NYTimes hosting multiple OP EDs claiming its not is disingenuous shilling more about them seeing FB as a competitor for advertising dollars and news.

It's strange that ms got busted partly for their handling of internet explorer, but at least on windows there was never any restrictions on what 3rd party software was allowed and no obligation to pay Microsoft a 30% tax on sales. Mea

True but its a bit of a problem when your hegemony keeps getting threatened by the latest flavor of the month social network and quarter after quarter your getting pressured by shareholders to keep increasing advertising revenue.

They would be in much worse shape if they hadn't acquired Instagram at a good price.

They are rightly called major tranquilizers, "antipsychotics" is relatively new marketing that oversells them as a cure rather than a bandaid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipsychotic

Google's reputation is cratering along with most of big tech. Ya hate to see it.

In my 20 years of programming i've never heard of a well architectured codebase that is cleanly written, problem free, future proof and a joy to maintain.
