I find it somewhat sad that half the time when I see people complain that a machine isn't a "Professional" machine, the complaints are really that it's not a "gaming" machine.
There's always a large contingent of Slashdotters unable to grasp that there are many high performance workloads entirely unlike games.
Ethernet runs the whole world. Fiber is usually Ethernet. ISPs are connected internally by Ethernet. Wifi is just Ethernet projected into the air-waves instead of on a physical wire. Ethernet is hardly a protocol for connecting home offices and printers. Ethernet runs nearly all the "short hops" on the internet and beyond.
That's where you live after all. Maybe this bullshit will fly over there in Jersey, but I doubt it.
Perhaps it should be "Metaverse(TM)" when used so specifically as an old term is being co-opted here...
other people's cars... duh.
Case in point: JIT javascript. Go on, look for a modern browser that doesn't use just in time compilation to make the bunny dance just a little faster. And yet, look up just how many browser and even OS and processor exploits and fixes exist because we didn't keep Javascript (ecmascript) in a tight little wimpy and well controlled VM.
So, bad decision making yes. But apparently the whole industry does it.
Another case in point. HTML and other "active" email. If email were plain ASCII, or possibly even if it were UNICODE there would be little chance of exploits. However, for some reason people just couldn't live without bold and underline so instead we have a world where you can't feel safe opening a simple email. Okay, attachments are binary and could be anything, but that's why you teach users to be CAREFUL opening ATTACHMENTS which today is meaningless. No one can ever follow their own rules so just touch a computer and you're screwed.
Don't you mean how much stack space each thread needs? At best you might double the available memory you can work with. Why is it we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot trying to save something less than 2x constant space or performance when so much more is wasted by the complexity in trying to optimize?
Keep in mind Proprietary Software tends to enforce this mentality since you get "burned" paying for garbage every time you try to use someone else's library.
I can't think of any reason a logger needs to be going to websites and downloading anything. Especially in a dynamic procedure call style that implements an entire language in "remote lookup". This reminds me of HEARTBLEED only so so much worse. Don't add useless unnecessary features or this kind of problem happens.
Don't use software that contains useless unnecessary features for no reason. (which can be pretty hard to achieve at times...)
Yeah. They whine and moan that VP9 has nearly zero industry traction compared to h.264 -- and the traction that exists is a Google Property (YouTube).
Then when the industry decided to move towards AV1, they complain that anybody planning on supporting AV1 should suddenly use VP9 and VP8 too...
Or Claiming that Google AMP is an industry standard (that happens to be almost entirely controlled by Google), and they extorted publishers into adopting it by burying non-amp content
You have to launch at exactly the right time and course, and that course better not involve part of the booster crashing down on a city. Sure, SpaceX is good at landing boosters, but what if something goes wrong and stage 1 ends up coming down in London?
Orbital dynamics being what they are, they launched at a "valid" but not optimal time and course. If you can eliminate the odds the booster will come down on a city, at the expense of a slower docking time⦠it's the right decision.
The Chinese are known for launches where boosters land onto their own villages. They don't appear to care who they kill to get their fast docking time.
Coca-Colaâ(TM)s target market is "Human, thirsty."
It's a bit more easy market to reach than "middle aged women who may be interested in a hobby TIG welder."
I would disagree. Rust is easily more performant than the JVM, and often more performant than C/C++. Go performs roughly similar to the JVM, as is Swift.
In the embedded space, I expect to see Rust to make inroads.
Did they remember to tell you none of the COVID vaccines were ever tested to block transmission. Only reduce likelihood of going to the hospital. Herd-immunity is going to be a hard sell when the medicine won't provide it even at 100% vaccination rate. Maybe that's why they're trying for the boosters. If we get to 130% of people vaccinated maybe we've got a chance!!! Makes about as much sense as vaccinating those who already have natural immunity.
Wait. You're saying billionaires had NOTHING to do with the coronavirus "pandemic"? It immaculately spread via non-lab bats in Wuhan and then the fear and propaganda just magically wound itself across the world without any help from the entrenched media?
Um. OK.
Did you happen to see Bill Gates maniacally drooling about the number of prospective test-subjects back in March 2019 or so?
Function reject.
