I think SB might've upped the bid a bit extra with Oracle as the other suitor. With Graviton and Ampere processors owned by hyperscalers it would've been a very unfortunate time for the ARM server market to become stagnant. Right

It kinda makes sense though, ARM has been creeping upwards over the years and yet afaik outside of Ampere no ARM server supplier has become serious (outside of inhouse variants such as Amazon Graviton). So combining ARM and Ampere operation

That perspective is blown to those that see beyond themselves. Or can admit themselves as fallible. Or realize that even if they are near-infallible, that unless they've studied the C _and_ C++ standards to the finest detail they will

The SAML people aren't the most crazy ones though, the entire XML signature stuff is the insane part (You find it in other places such as xADES,SOAP,etc as well). In some misguided effort to avoid a inner-platform effect they made the

Maui seems to have been a certain kind of clusterf. As for MonoDevelop/XamStudio/VS4Mac that mostly seems to have become a casualty of the general VSCode bandwagon that was probably hard to foresee at the time they bought it.

Did any of those apart from the Unity runtime ever gain any significant traction? (Iirc they've had some idea of porting to mainline .NET but weaning a sloppy codebase off Boehm is probably easier said than done). Any particular reason

Even if it appears confusing to people (there is .NET Core, Standard and Framework) it can be summarized fairly easily. The original .NET variations up until 4.8 are called Framework, built into Windows with quite a bit of Windows-dependenc

IF the Maga types would be buying electric cars it'd probably be a Dodge with horns or something alike. Sleek/futuristic was never their thing to begin with.

Neither the competition or the antics are the cause. The combination however has been highly toxic for Tesla, like Apple it had an initial lead and a high trust factor due to size, experience and perceived tech lead. This also allowed them

I think a little more detail is that for a company to succeed to grow, the cowboys needs to _want to phase themselves out_ and figure out how processes should be from the in-house learned pains. More often however, cowboy entrepreneurs are

I think a bigger business case is virtual machine hosting, say one of these is maxed out (8 Xeons with 56 cores ie 448 cores and 32tb of memory), say it's divided into a 1000 machines you can run each VM with 40% cpu utilization and 3g

That's the point, a _website_ should mostly be text,css and images and that works 100% fine with NoScript out of the box. My pattern is basically browsing the wild net with FF/Noscript and use Chrome for "apps" (gmail,sh

In 2025 the question isn't "will it run crysis", it's "will it run a simple CRUD app".

Could simply be that a bunch of invoices/billing are connected to months and they don't want to pay beyond the current month (to make sure they get their money for the domains).

Price, drivers and/or recognizability? There's a reason that the usually technically inferior Raspberry PI still probably outsells all the bananas,etc.

We just had the leader of a Swedish party saying that non-US nuclear armament plans are needed, this is very significant since it's been basically unthinkable to say as far back as the 1960s or so when our own nuclear program was disma

Large functions is a particular breeding ground. Ages ago working on PS2 games one of our guys had a particularly huge "do-animations-and-interpolations-and-state-and-everything-for-the-hero-in-one-huge-switch" thingy (not uncommo

I suspect that LaLiga lawyers and lawyer-techs aren't perhaps the most technical so when they learned to figure out IP's they made it their go-to way of working without even considering that they might need to contact CF (or Githu

Annotations were adopted to cut down on the massive amounts of XML that was used to configure everything beforehand, still a lot was loosely wired for "extensibility" and people have learned that it was 99% overengineering so that

It wouldn't happen that this feature was released around early/mid 2020? Windows sleep used to be semi-reliable but one it's been shit for a couple of years. (Any link to the video/docs for turning it off?)

Yeah, the C++/Java/C# family of type systems have obvious holes in them. There are various hacks/implementations for them but since they're not in the core they're not really expected to be supported by random tools

This is where OpenAPI/Swagger shines, we use C# backends and with NSwag (built in now also I think) you get an online API-spec directly from the controller (and types) of the C# code. Only extra step is running a tool to download the s

In Java if you hold an reference to an "old" object then that will be kept alive until all references are exhausted, thus an identity comparison comparing pointers will never succeed as long as someone holds an reference (that is

Virtual DOM or not doesn't matter, even Svelte has the potential to be disrupted by these Google translate shenanigans since it manipulates the DOM. Actually it seems they got hit also, https://github.com/sveltejs/

Can't remember exactly what one but I remember reading an article about some VM that added interruption checks not at block boundaries, but rather only at _backwards_ branches and call-sites, so "safe" forward jumps (if/

Mainly it points to a non-scientific "bigger is better" mentality, and the researchers probably didn't mind playing around with the power because "scale" is "cool". Remember that the Lisp AI-labs people we

One tip for the author from another one, the spec-test contains various weird forms of textual wasm that isn't obvious how to compile but the wast2json converter can produce a simpler JSON desc accompanies by regular binary wasm files.
