These sentences make me say a big YES. It is imperative to replace current CPUs with something open source, peer reviewed by many eyes and understandable, even if it is slower, less power efficient and bigger.

ban conventional cigarettes which are a public health danger.

Does it mean that they have ported Gnome on Mir?

"Concepts are already available in GNU C Compiler 6.2," So, it is a standard :-)

So , the idea is that after all gravity can be an entropic force? I thought there was a no-go theorem for this. In any case, the microscopic mechanism could be quantized?

Throw away proprietary FPGA implementations, Google makes the real stuff Free and Open Source, software/hardware. I would never ever attempt to use x265 proprietary cruft. It is time every one make VP9 available in hardware by default.

Where is the Eve encoder comparison?

and on windows, check the binaries that exists, peruse,rkward, labplot, umbrello, krita, digikam among others. I use them daily without issue, hope someday calligra is back with windows binaries, sniff-sniff.

FOSS drivers is the problem, not the OS. They should sit with all HW makers and find a way to release FOSS drivers for everything while protecting their IP and even standardize interfaces. This problem is what impedes OS research and new OSes. Nothing else.

it is a pitty that they didn't go with full JFS support but prefered NTFS. There is a lot of open source knowledge from OS/2 croud.

and it is a shame. But, can they just use ReactOS USB driver and contribute together?

and a reason for me to stay away from NVIDIA blobs (unless they fully document their hardware).

I have seen terrible C++ code and it takes long to get correct. The arrogance of "C++ code is fast" is well known. With Golang they could have written the whole thing faster with similar speed. But even then, I am also suspicious of the C++ is 10x faster than Java for this kind of task. The frameworks or the quality of java code make a huge difference. I am even tempted to take a look in the Cassandra codebase to see what went wrong. Maybe the problem is that they have not updated to Java 7 or 8 practices which in my opinion is half of performance lost. The other half is that people try to have something working correctly and optimise later. But even in that case, I could still try C or D before delving into C++. I really don't buy the whole argument.

While the intended workflow for data crunching on the desktop is typically served by R/Python/Julia among others, there are times you have to do some processing for a huge amount of data for a spreadsheet you have open in front of you. This is where AMD/LibreOffice will shine and this is a good motive to buy AMD and LibreOffice.

Hi, I have used Axis 213PTZ and 207W and they are through VAPIX API (actually mjpeg -> mime multipart jpeg) open source friendly. You definitely do not need DirectX. I have used it through C++/Golang and VLC. For the cheaper models I do not know though.
