A significant amount of code can be run after a power cord pull is detected but before the big caps discharge on most boxes. But yea no userspace program is going to get those cycles...

China executed scapegoats after huge internal outrage and an attempted coverup. Not the kind of thing that builds trust.

I agree completely. The correct simplification to make is not explaining virtual memory or MMIO. Pretend we have nicely-acting linear address space. The computer is a mail-sorting octopus and when it runs out of hands it only has mailboxes

It is easy to "isolate" wifi module in most smart tv with a screwdriver and about 30 minutes. They use commodity parts so it is normally removable (like in laptops). If it isn't just screw up the antennae so the soc still see

What I see is two types of people, people that understand basic computer architecture and those that don't. The C memory model and pointers come easily to those that understand what a memory address is and how long one is on their favo

I completely agree, and for a good example of "better", I think spotify's discovery algorithms are "pretty alright". It's less likely to get stuck in a rut. Youtube is happy to try to bring you down a rabbit ho

Uh, they don't have view counts, but they certainly tell you when things are popular. These are bad examples because all of these have very public "view counter"-alikes. First-weekend box office for ""popular"&

It is complicated. I think thats a bad solution. I want to see the counts. I feel it is far more transparent to see the counts than for things to just be surfaced or not opaquely. Youtube is not a discussion site and it does not work as one

It's interesting because this is a real answer that will get you hired. It demonstrates knowledge of: the "correct" way to do it, basic asm awareness, programmer culture, and computer architecture. This probably checks off li

HW is a bit like this but with some good internship experience and a bachelors at a (>=good public state tier) school companies are interested. Of 4 HW friends I know just getting their bachelors 2 are going to do verif in industry and 2

Yes, and I'm sure if I could and it would get me a competent ISP I would climb a skyscraper and do headspins on top. Local municipalities have given sweetheart deals to basically everyone that agreed to lay cable. This difference is th

It really isn't a lie. The state of Texas considers a 30 year old man fucking around with a "girl younger than 17 years" to be sexual assault. He has been charged with 4 counts of sexual assault.

I think this is just a personal thing. kinda like some people immediately spill their brain to some cache (whiteboard, pen/paper) and others stare at a wall for minutes then write when they have a fuller thought. If it's a technic

I mean, no armed men come take your taxes (anymore). The threat is ultimately there if you withhold otherwise but it's the same if you smoke in a mcdondalds then refuse to leave. Or if you squat on someone else's land.

I had this problem, but then I just installed foobar2000 and quicksearch plugin, point it at my p2p disk root, exclude video files. Fast start-up and instant tag search through hundreds of gigs of flac. If you're in the Ts of MP3s rang

Chroma subsampling is nice because it lets you "delay" some of the upsampling to later device in the pipeline, like your GPU outputs YUV4:2:0 and your monitor hardware does the chroma upsampling. If you don't want that, use 4

I think they're joking about how the article awkwardly restates the entire name repetitively, not implying people would use it that way in real life. For reference, the entire phrase "Glass Enterprise Edition 2" matches 10 ti

I'm not sure if it is possible to get months of uptime on a Windows 10 box without having pro/enterprise and disabling auto-updates. I have done this on my W10 desktop workstation and agree - literally no downtime/crashes unt

Does this _really_ seem like an odd line to draw? Like, even a multibillion dollar corporation like google, if it wanted to arrest me, it would seek the help of a government. Governments have the police and guns and stuff. I understand corp

I don't like the gate keeping either but so called "entrepreneurs" would just go around washing people. The point is that you have enough money so no-one cares that the space mining company you invested in only hires website

Do you have a link for that? Every time I look into one of these/similar stories it is a shitty insurance company either heavily encouraging or basically forcing the suit if the person wants to be covered for their injuries at all.

You can pre-register with content-id and then aggressively dmca. I'm not saying it's fun or easy just that there are totally songs and artists that are completely scrubbed from youtube.

I think this is just media spin. If you interact with VA much I think you find its staffed by a lot of vets and they try hard to do their best. There are problems of funding and staffing and more, esp in poorer areas, and I have heard some

No, only has 8-bit hw decoder and this thing would prob not be able to software decode 1080p h.265. 1080p h.264 10-bit (also would need to be sw decoded) would be rough.

It really does bring up though questions though, like when you look at the current administration and what they have done with the White House press office. Imagine if there existed a well-respected and trusted national news outfit that was

Video processing is generally a parallel bandwidth-heavy task with predictable memory access patterns whereas compilation is NOT. Thus video processing lends well to hardware implementations. Additionally everything h.265/VP8 or later
