Sounds like a great opportunity for a desktop machine where power usage matters much less.

Why do people allow an app like TikTok to access their location? Is it obligatory?

C is supposed to be reasonably portable so it doesn’t make too much sense to depend on flags that are not available on all platforms.

Even if the statement were true, it’s not like they hired some anonymous guy, they knew what they were getting. Don’t hire a passionate guy like that if you don’t want him to concern himself with your company.

The hard part typically is that you have some kind of outstanding debt and it’s anyone’s guess whether they will ever pay it back. That is why there are these risk valuations of creditworthiness. For instance in the mortgage crisis banks ha

An important argument against third party browsers is the requirement of a third party JIT compiler for Javascript, which means Apple needs to allow a third party app to cause unsigned code to be run from other sources than a signed package

Sorry, trying to insinuate that WebRTC is basic technology just disqualifies your opinion. It has an enormous specification describing a privacy and security snakepit and definitely is not basic technology.

This is just pretty bad design, and it means if char is 16 bits and so is int, which as far as I can tell is allowed, the interface is unusable.

Never set this up, do you need a certificate for the ip address? Or how do you validate the certificate with https?

You don’t need compaction to reuse fixed size structures. I presume their priorities were with creating a working system, not one that answers to the ‘requirements’ of 50 years into the future.

Obviously permanently wasting memory on fragmentation is not an option on a device that typically has 24kb memory. Especially not just so you can specify long filenames for the shell, when the filesystem doesn’t even support those filenames

If you want to use the Microsoft Office suite, it’s available on the Mac, included in Office365.

by tinus_hn 4y ago
A great and easy idea, as long as you never need to release anything. Otherwise you end up with holes in your memory and you need to do compaction, and reserve the memory you need to be able to do that.

Who knows? But will doing nothing result in a disaster 100% of the time? Will the passengers be able to resolve the situation?

Or can anyone sue anyone for anything and will this suit end up in at most a settlement that is just a fraction of the claim?

There should be more severe consequences for unlocking stolen devices, it’s crime on the same level as SIM swapping by phone store employees.

Can anyone stop a bus? Does it stop automatically if the driver has a heart attack? Will all the passengers die? Can anyone land a plane? Does it land automatically if the pilot has a heart attack? Will all the passengers die? The outcomes

For very large values of ‘a little’. Just like that other poster with the ‘easy’ solutions, I challenge you to actually implement a demonstration of those easy ideas. You can actually take some ideas from the Linux kernel if you like becaus

It’s way over the place, sometimes it’s great, sometimes you have to wait in a queue for half an hour, sometimes it’s just a cheap bot shield in front of the customer service representatives.

I never said any of these things, I said it is practically impossible to deal with not getting memory when you need it, which you claim but can’t show is easy. And then there’s a whole lot of rambling about operating systems which has nothi

So, to the surprise of really no-one, you claim programmers have ‘learned helplessness’ because they can’t apply your easy solutions, but back down on the ground when it’s time to demonstrate your superior abilities, it turns out to be all

If it bothers you, you can just turn off overcommit. It’s not hard: $ sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=2 # policy number 2 $ sysctl vm.overcommit_ratio=0 # ratio = 0% So here’s your golden opportunity to show us how easy it is to

I suggest you pick up a project and show us how easily this can be done.

Last time they tried that Apple caused a lot of hoopla and made the case go away. Not easy.

That sounds obvious until you realize that you can’t get away with just fixing the obvious parts of allocating large optional caches, you have to defend for every single allocation you do to fail. In every library you use, for every string

Perhaps the don’t say they care about producing content but surely they care about accepting (voip) phone calls, being able to torrent twice as fast (because they would be able to connect to twice as much peers) and they’d also like all the

Too bad it’s basically impossible to deal with the possibility that you request memory and don’t get it, apart from crashing.

ISPs love NAT because it is an artificial distinction between producers and consumers, which means they can call the producers ‘pro’ of ‘enterprise’ and charge them through the nose while the consumers can’t cause trouble and just pay for d
