Yeah but there will always be crap for Alibaba for anything you can think of. The solution would be banning charging altogether and adopt only proprietary standards.

Yeah agree with you. I don't see what the difficulty is. It is mostly an infrastructure issue and if you're starting from zero you're going cloud anyways

> However the previous cpu emulator apparently emitted .Net byte code and used RyuJIT (the .Net jit) to emit the final native code. This seems like a good use case for using .Net. Why did they move away from it?

Do you have a source for that? I'd like to show it to some mainframe fanboys at work that praise that abomination

It's not dependent on the device. The satellites themselves send their position data but on a very low data rate (I think its just a couple bits per second) so if the device doesn't have the data it does take 15 or so minutes. May

Isn't 5G highly directional? Even if there is some crosstalk isn't it mitigated by the directionality of 5G antennas?

I left Windows Phone several years ago due to lack of apps. Recently I found the old phone in my home and played with it a bit. WP UI was awesome, I miss it. It was so clean, so easy to use, so beautiful. But the lack of apps really killed

As I understand it, in order to interface with a FH-encrypted software the data needs to be encrypted too. So every input needs to be sent to the mothership, encrypted there, downloaded, then computed locally, then the output is sent to the

Websphere MQ has had DB2 as a dependency for ages. Not by accident. OTOH as a sysadmin I hate when developers use queueing systems as databases. It's like keeping full courier vans circling around the city instead of having a warehouse

Man, studied those at the university, those things are very complicated... I mean, simple ones are easily explained, but they sound awful, so to get a usable one it takes lots of theory. Unlike speakers, which you can build at home and can
