If work activities is about titles, I hope yours is multiple lines long. We are talking about what is the most efficient. One of the point of Agile was to attempt to lower the division of tasks (and I'm saying that even if I don't

There is probably some truth in all of that (although I strongly disagree in some specific points), but also consider that if "management" is incapable to convey their own value, and to cooperate with "engineers" in

Part of the rationale of Apple for disallowing emulators is really concerning: > allows for downloading of content without licensing.

Well they do not really share that much given none of the OS/2 that shipped were based on NT, although that was the plan at the beginning of the dev of NT, and first versions of NT had a (quite limited) OS/2 subsystem. So there ma

I've never heard it referring to all pseudo-medicines. Wikipedia seems to agree on a narrow definition about just heavily diluted shits.

Lol this is getting ridiculous. I don't know why they stopped working on their Defender architecture, the sandbox seemed a good idea. Maybe they have been told to work on Win11 VBS processor requirement wankery instead, leaving that cl

Why even running a Windows 10 instance in that case? Esp. if it's for backward compat with old crap; run a Win 2k, it will be lighter. And only marginally less maintained, which does not even matter if you isolate like that anyway.

They are not too complex for "languages intended for dilettante developers": they can (and should) use sequential consistency or locks everywhere.

It is probably more about a v2 vs v3 debate in the case of Linux. He really likes copyleft GPLv2-style and really thinks it has been a net-positive if not one of the key things for the success of the project.

And to be fair, he even concluded with "I'm still supportive of lots of GPL work, but I don't think the restrictions helped in this particular case. "

It usually better to migrate git repositories with git clone --mirror than attempting to not forget refs with ad-hoc commands. For simple repositories their methods will probably work anyway, but it is still harder to do.

That's not what I meant. I simply disagree with the position that it is better to not have the tools integrated for "history" rewriting in a version control system, esp. when that position is presented quite aggressively agai

They quite misdirect on what the problem actually is. Verbatim or quasi-verbatim recitations are not the only things copyright protects.
296.
by temac 5y ago
There is a huge problem for them to concentrate so much on verbatim recitations. That's not the criteria used for copyright... see for example Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison tests.

There still are (and probably will always be) some workloads where using HT makes the whole task take longer, but unless you only run that kind of loads, optimizing is simply a matter of e.g. loading up to core numbers instead of threads

by temac 5y ago
It only makes sense to report e.g. 50% in case of throttling if you also report e.g. 130% in case of boosting (on a single core). Which could be useful. Now throw HT in the mix and loose your mind. I'm not sure there is a really better

Not really unless you force the source code of proprietary software to be published. If you don't, copyleft has a role to play.
