That is probably regional. Here they are most commonly connected to the cold water line.

Yeah, that was despicable. As a user trying to debug commands suggested on internet didn't work because your version of ffmpeg wasn't actually ffmpeg was kind of insane. And that might be because other applications assumed that &q

Automatic detection of default and supported resolutions and information about DPI? Or is it not the same?

One caveat here is the note: > (Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline.) This means that it is easy to pick up a habit to smash the enter-button a few times before doing this dance, and as noted on a nordic lay

There seems to be some serious misunderstanding here. For one, why do you think this is about cookies at all? This is not something that can be solved client-side other than obfuscation etc. They can track you with other means than cookies.

They are not GDPR compliant anyway, they just try to fight it by making GDPR look bad. Look for alternatives for such pathetic sites. Even Google of all places "respects" it now (after pressure). It becomes noticeably better every

GDPR is a huge step in the right direction and has made a big difference. But yes, it needs much more time.

Hope not, that means you'd only get mainstream hardware. Incredibly limiting and boring.

For a long time on windows the official MS recommendations was to use the c++ compiler for c projects. Which was exerbated by an obsolete c compiler that only supported c89.

VLAs are barely used and frowned upon by most. It is not relevant enough to discuss. Yes, mallocs in standard library is a problem. But this is rather the result of a mindset where over provision exist than anything else.
822.
by tjoff 4y ago
That is a very weak argument. Also, why would you bother to handle it gracefully when the OS won't allow you to do it? Also, outright impossible in some languages? Just don't use VLAs if then? "Problem" solved.

Listening on inaudible words surely are not on purpose? Listening in on a frequency to disable word detection is a whole other thing...

Isn't that a byte? So rather, a byte is 16 bits.

I must be missing something, everytime I try to do something I end up wasting a day to get something to work unreliably. Seemingly simple apps that ought to only require the most common dependencies (such as dotnet/ie) are a nightmare

"Cheap knockoff" might be good enough for many usecases, but they are not near equal quality. I'd guess the printer farm is paramount to prusas reliability. Don't know if anyone else runs something similar? If not for pr

They are novel from a end-users perspective and that they can trivially applied to most stuff that the end-user might be doing otherwise. That the idea and execution existed before doesn't detract at all from that. Something "triv

Prusa was the first proper printer with bed levelling in its class? 32 bit isn't really a feature in this context. Wifi, sure. Not for me but I get that some would want it. Not sure what keeping up means here, prusa is killing it and i

Is someone buying a cheap knockoff really a lost sale for prusa? Rather than a prusa my guess would be that they would buy some other cheap printer instead. Then after a while they might appreciate what prusa is offering and potentially bec

I would have thought the browser was the most important thing. Do you have any examples to share? Particularly and genuinely curious about how variable length instructions have affected browser security. "not too difficult", I gue

There are so many more low hanging fruits that makes the architecture (in relation to arm vs. x86) completely irrelevant to the equation. When we get to those kind of details, maybe you shouldn't rely on drivers that were written witho

by tjoff 4y ago
Which runs just fine on x86 as well... My point was that the intersection between the low level programming where you do care about which architecture you are running on and phones is very very slim. Not saying that shouldn't be the ca

by tjoff 4y ago
Most phones barely run anything but bytecode anyway. Iphones do, but the biggest advantage of an M1 in that case the advantage by far ought to be "runs macos" and not, "is arm". x86 rapidly losing in serverspace? No. If

Much more secure? Really? And you think it is relevant for a laptop?

by tjoff 4y ago
"being an arm device" is not an advantage though. Being on a less used architecture, in the PC context, has its downsides.

That is much better than expected, depending on how easy it is to setup it is very much worthwhile if you don't have access to a decent GPU.

Oh god, electron apps have terrible performance. The apps do not run smooth by any metric. Even static pages over the internet is faster than spotify/slack locally.

Because the cloud remains the same? All of what you mention is something you consider during install. Which arguably makes the install take most of its time. Same should be true for the cloud. Because you surely are not just jumping into so

Rust was just one suggestion.... Modern C++ is another. Swift is another, etc.
