Having compiled the same code for ARM, x86 and x86-64, with the same compiler, I dare saying that the ARM code is much smaller.
Compiles using -Os and GCC for all cores.
Embedded has code size as a limiting factor for quite some time now...
P.S. before saying that a sample size of one isn't evidence, I develop firmware for ARM and some other arch e frequently compile it on the PC for testing purposes.
So far the problem only got worse, so all of these could very well be right on the supposition that it's now irreversible.
No, they are not.
Means for implementation by an expert should be provided. The C++ code would be just an example of implementation. Try coding a MPEG encoder in Lisp and see if you can patent it.
Indeed. Since FF4 I can't use online banking with FF. Now with FF5 Acrobat Reader locks and fails every now and then. Befor you put the fault at adobe, it doesn't on FF3 or IE. Basically FF is becoming useless for me very, very fast. And I'm the ordinary user. On the enterprise level here it's already forbidden.
You're always limiting the rights of other people, including their right to live, by asserting your rights. The problem is where to draw the line.
I disagree with that thesis entirely.
Their right to live does not mean in any way that I'm required to surrender mine. Just because you might need an organ donation, doesn't confer an obligation upon me to give it to you. The same as the "right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" doesn't actually guarantee you a job or to be happy
I'd say you just confirmed my point. You don't have to surrender your right simply because the papers would be reversed then. Someone shouting that this or that genre of art is disgusting and should be forbidden is attacking a basic right (free speech) of someone else is just like someone shouting that organ donation should be compulsory is attacking a basic right (physical integrity or even your right to live).
Also, you can give someone the right to look for a job or happiness with no feasible way to achieve the goal.
Because, as soon as you start doing the calculus of whose life is more valuable
Sure. Don't we kinda do that already, in economic terms? (poor people's work pays rich people's health care while having (almost) none themselves)
In my opinion, both of your examples are nonsensical and contrived. That isn't about 'offending someone else's sensibilities'
You may redefine the security of your own person to include quite a lot.
It's amazing how vocal people can be about making sure that the rights of other people are limited so as not to offend their own sensibilities.
Very true... Suppose there's a hungry vampire just in front of you, about to die if not by your blood. Which right to live is bigger? (from a book I read a long time ago). Let's get a not so hypothetical and fantastic case, let's say you're in front of a severe renal patient and known to be a compatible donor. You don't want to live with a single kidney, which right is more important, his right to live or your right not to have your organs harvested?
You're always limiting the rights of other people, including their right to live, by asserting your rights. The problem is where to draw the line.
No, the problem is not money. The problem is bureaucracy, unwillingness to help and the arrogance, usually all present on TI departments.
Or simply things like:
ME: I need dotProject installed for use within my department. Could you deploy that? How should we proceed?
IT: dotProject isn't in the list of allowed softwares, MS Project is on the list, you should use it.
ME: 100 licenses of MS Project is too expensive, I need a simple service added to the linux box you already manage and have integrated with our domain.
IT: Sorry, you must use MS project.
He owl'n an own.
