I may be totally off-base here, but can't the SHA256 CPU instructions be used for this? Then it'd just be 1 (? Or is it more) instruction to perform?

Yup, I run IoT Core in my Raspberry Pi 2, and run a C# UWP app on it to dynamically update my DNS settings. The UI is lovely, and the UWP API in general, too. Both JIT and native modes of operation work. Hell, I can also build it for my des

Maw, the emulation is for binary-only apps. .NET can already be built to ARM CLR bytecode, or to ARM native/machine code. This is for apps where you don't, and quite possibly never did, have the source.

by xorxornop 10y ago
And it is also why it will continue to be marginalised, and have generally shit, inconsistent UI.

It probably doesn't require the chip... I'm thinking they are using some form of hardware accelerated binary translation. Re: Windows on ARM, I run Windows IoT on a Raspberry Pi. Shows they have a good lot of it running, eg the fu

It has been, I'm running one such example on my Raspberry Pi 2 right now. It's just a DynDNS updater. Written in UWP. I have tried it in CLR and native (machine code via .NET Native) modes. Both work great. I'm pretty sure my

How the hell does this happen. Seriously, I've ran Windows for like over 10 years now. It's happened a grand total of 3 times, ever, and 2 of those were back in the Windows 9x days, and the last one was between W8 and 8.1 (a major

Maybe, though their partnering with Qualcomm is suggestive: perhaps they're doing hardware-accelerated binary translation? That _might_ be fast and power efficient, who knows... In any case, many users may just be wanting to run older

by xorxornop 10y ago
And this is exactly how it works with Windows Store apps. You upload .NET bytecode, and the Store delivers the correct compiled-to-native code for the user's architecture. You can also make fat packages, if you don't wanna distrib

Yes, for precisely the reason that he did not want to be the arbiter of what is released. That's probably why he's still alive. It was a good decision
71.
by xorxornop 10y ago
Yup, it all depends on which level of abstraction you choose to operate in. I could describe throwing a ball to you into terms of how the quantum wavefunction evolves over time to produce the end state from the start state, and it would be

This strikes me as an entirely superfluous distinction. "just" random noise? What other kind of life is there..? Why can't life be that? Why the "just"? Needless romanticism

I don't know for sure, of course, since I don't know him - but, from all the interviews I've seen of him where the conversations were variable and unscripted, he has a very broad but also deep knowledge. I'm convinced th

Naw, at least with me I seem to be able to by treating the tab ordering as a conceptual discovery ordering. That is, I remember what things I learned / researched prior to and following each tab. It's lossy, but because each has

It's almost always motherboard hex spacers. Source: have had multiple computers with such problem. All were due to surplus spacers having been put in which subsequently contacted solder pads on the board underside. The worse version is

by xorxornop 10y ago
Yeah, and integer division behaves approximately to real division, too.
77.
by xorxornop 10y ago
Well, yeah, but then you'd basically - eventually - end up with Rust... not C!
78.
by xorxornop 10y ago
C and Rust compile to native code. Python doesn't. It's either interpreted, or run in an abstract machine (VM). Python was never really intended to interact with the actual hardware directly. I mean, you could, there's no rea

Stellarator designs already use superconducting electromagnets. The newer kind are just a lot more powerful and versatile.

by xorxornop 10y ago
Yes, exactly. If we're going to talk proportions, then both "sides" need surfacing. If you're on lower income, otherwise "minor" fines, fees, surcharges etc can become life threatening or at least highly disrup

Yup - it's hard to imagine a more out of touch viewpoint. Straight out of "talking heads present one type of franchise blockbuster reality fiction that manipulates you into betraying your fellow humans and yourself" land.

by xorxornop 10y ago
Oh boy, I couldn't agree more... I, too, feel rage at this state of things. What makes it particularly awful is I just don't see any way out of it. People are pathetically easy to manipulate for the most part. The poor are the dem

As an alternative to ear plugs, perhaps also consider noise _replacement_ instead (eg. vs. noise _elimination). I use an app that plays various rain sounds. I have it linked to speakers via Bluetooth (and I have a 3.5mm headphone-jack-type

by xorxornop 10y ago
Huh? But you can use C# on a Mac... I should know, I just came home from doing that all day at work. .NET Core works great on Mac, and imports many dlls just fine. That being said if it was quite an old dll, and never compiled under PCL or

Yup, it's so superior that it seems ludicrous that others are considered comparable. The taste of it isn't quite like sugar, but it's close, and it's WAY better than any of the non-polyalcohol-sugar artificial sweeteners
86.
by xorxornop 10y ago
Yep. Adding another lower/zero-calorific sugar but with a positive heat of dissolution (to counter the negative one of isomalt) can really help here. Similarly, you can choose sugar pairs to promote or suppress crystallisation, as the

by xorxornop 10y ago
Why not erythritol? Isomalt can cause some pretty severe gut issues (to which I can personally attest, unfortunately!). It's also still quite calorific (that is, it is metabolised) - erythritol isn't. I can eat it in high quantit

Except that most people have repeatedly shown they're not capable of making sensible choices. Although that's possibly a secondary/tertiary effect, seeing as how it's so hugely variable over different regions of the worl

Well, what if it's done randomly? (like, by software that controls the machine that grows it) Or, modify the growing process so that it has a greater element of chance to it? (this is likely multi-dimensional)

by xorxornop 10y ago
Is it? I suspect the thinking is along these lines: "this shit is already really bad! And that's with a kinda - or at least, publicly - sympathetic government..... and the new guy has openly said he'd like to massively expand
