I posted the arstechnica [0] article but I think this one has more architectural detail. I am actually surprised since I stopped visiting Tomshardware a while ago due to lacking such detail. Has the quality improved lately? The memory, IO s

Fiction writing on touch screen keyboard is as good as your laptop's keyboard? I can sort of understand the painting/video creation even though I don't do either. But I would guess you would be a special minority in the writi

Thats what I'm thinking too. And the infection rate of 165K isn't too low either for something that will 1/10. I know there are lots of thing killing a lot more people but this one doesn't look trivial specially if someh

Me too. While I'm still not using the mobile app I use their desktop one. Would prefer to know if there were any overall security audit of Enpass or some expert has some thought. But if their android app is good it would at least give

I was weird out by some of those figure too. I thought Ryzen floating point units were smaller than intel so how come its so better in the floating point benchmark. The SSE performance being so out there compared to anyone also looks very i

I can agree on lighter, cooler or even smaller (in length/width) but really slimmer? As I said in another thread, what does a slimmer laptop gives you in present day.

by tmd83 10y ago
Honest question what do you enjoy about the super slim phone? In the last years have you seen any phone thats too thick to hold or hard to put in pocket or just about don't fit in any place? Why slimmer, I honestly don't understan

Its not just about plain text vs. content. Its about doing things at least reasonably efficiently. I commented about gmail taking 500MB on Chrome in another comment. I just checked Mail.app it started with 200MB. I wonder whats the energy b

Even beyond the privacy implications, what about the security implications. This basically means 10s of people would know my account password and whats stopping any of them from abusing it, posting things that would implicate me when I myse

There can be whole lot of reason for this and it kind of make sense. What doesn't make sense is that for such a big company, such a big product thats the best Google/gmail can do. I can understand if scaling the gmail backend can

Does anyone know what happens after the query plan is generated in most database? I'm assuming individual step, like index scan, hashjoin are coded already and the plan steps are iterated and respective methods are called? So the execu

This actually looks good. Wondering why I haven't heard of this before. Anyone has thoughts/knowledge on its security, on SQLCipher?

I assume they use this excuse to show the price as the lowest possible and its not the actual reason any more.

16% is small? what would be considered big?

by tmd83 10y ago
No this is really not the case of thinking we have enough memory. This is the realization that the static source code of a page is a percentage error compared to the memory overhead of a rendered page. The modern browser are memory hog I wo

The article was very confusing to me. Does it really mean if I get the standard download that might have some licensed components (Flight recorder for example) I'm on the hook even if I don't enable/use those features? The VM

I will actually take this. If you are talking about useless information for most users what about the battery percentage? What does that 45% gives a layman user? They basically will try to estimate in their head how long until they need to

by tmd83 10y ago
Its not what people look at first glance. You get the battery percentage as default. You get this when you actually want an estimate. The wrong thing apple did was calling it 'Time remaining' and not calling it in an estimate. If

by tmd83 10y ago
I think the apple bashing was sarcasm and your comment is sillier than the article. It wasn't the primary UI, the primary UI just shows the percentage. Its useful for a lot of user to know some expected runtime given their current usag

Yeah have thought about this a few times myself. Maybe missing something that makes it impossible/risky? Or maybe its just the tendency to ignore simple solutions. This not only solves the CDN issue but it also solve the issue of havin

Ah missed this comment. I think I just explained this above much less elegantly.

For some situations a discussion can actually make explaining a complex problem much easier. But for the most part I think phone support is a less efficient way to work and actually waste a lot of time both for the customer (waiting in line

What kind of strength does one have to have on the finger to be able to hold himself with just the tip? I have always wondered. I only saw climbing scenes in movies and have always wondered if people actually are able to work with such litt

Browsers and web is frankly getting ridiculous. The modern web has a lot going for it but when moving the web forward people seem to completely forget about the efficiency argument. I wonder how much of the worlds power we waste casually li

by tmd83 10y ago
Yes that is and has been the way of the world. But we at least like to pretend or want that to be not the case. Also legal system was suppose to be the place to go when in other system (administration and such) fails to protect the poor and

And do you think it would still provide a tangible disadvantage to the user apart from maybe a style statement? The only relevant change I feel would be that it might get easier to keep in your hand.
