Adding the escape sequence is the expansion. In the unlikely case where no data can be compressed the escape sequence in itself will make the "compressed" data larger than the uncompressed data (by at least one bit).
...until the augmented-reality gets completely overrun by ads. I imagine Zuckerberg doesn't want it to happen too soon but play the long game. Perhaps something like this:
1. Just like some crucial information is only available on Facebook, some information is made available only through the AR metaverse. Such as menus in some restaurants for example.
2. Some nice and useful features such as being able to decorate your environment with custom virtual art. You can exchange your big screen TV for an even bigger one consisting of only cardbord, for just half the price.
3. Introduce physical products with only AR interfaces. Such as wasing machines and smart locks.
4. Then enough people depend on AR it's time to stop the charity work and turn it into profit.
5. Every surface in the AR metaverse is sold for ads. To not have the walls of your home (including the digital art you bought) all covered in ads you have to buy the ad spots yourself. But you will never get away from the constant overlay popups with ads based on everything you ever looked at.
6. Profit.
This means everybody else has to make real keyboards for their laptops. Right?
Apple has said it will refuse requests from governments to use the system to check phones for anything other than illegal child sexual abuse material.
The way this is supposef to work is that Apple get a set of image hashes to search for from the govermentent in each country. What is Apple supposed to do if they get a match? They cannot collect and examine the images themselves since it would make themselfes guilty of the exact same crime they want to fight. The law doesn't distinguish between good guys and bad guys possessing child sex abuse images. If you collect and/or view them you simply are the bad guy. So the only option Apple has is to let the government examime the images and trust the government. So how can Apple possibly know if it's child sex abuse material they search for to begin with (without being criminals themselves)? It seems Apple is saying the solution is to simply trust every government out there not to lie about their requests.
The reason for the download to be available over FTP was to let you download it without a browser. You could simpy use any FTP client. Still a good feature perhaps, but not a reason to have FTP support in the browser.
I don't use FTP much since SFTP is superior in every way. But then I use FTP, Firefox (or any other browser) is not among my favorite clients anyway. The idea of serving HTML over FTP was stupid to begin with. And even for that odd use case there are FTP -> HTTP gateways (or you could probably download the whole thing and view it locally). Anyone who will miss FTP support in Firefox is doing it wrong.
We should urge countries to oppose everything illigal then we're at it.
Why is it still okay to illigally rob a bank for example? Or illigally beat children?
The whole world should be more like Sweden where it's forbidden to be criminal: https://farm9.static.flickr.co...
You can keep it simple with Grub if you want to maintain the config file manually. All you really need is a menuentry statement (with just the title, no options required) containing one line for loading the Linux kernel (and possibly another line for initrd). With the bonus that you don't have to reinstall Grub each time you change the config file. It only gets more complicated if you need it to do stuff that Lilo is not capable of.
Hongmeng is not an Android version.
An API to gain root access?
It would require replicating the old internets host by host, since DNS directs trafic on the IP level. A quite ambitious project. For just HTTP this can be achieved in an easirer way by using a proxy such as Wayback Proxy Server or WARC viewer.
There is an alternative ABI called x32 (currently only supported by Linux) to solve this issue. It allows programs to take advantage of the benefits of x86-64 instruction set but uses 32-bit pointers. However, in reality, this turned out to be of very little benefit (except in a small number of corner cases). The performance is significantly improved compared to using the 32-bit ABI, but the theoretical improvements to memory usage compared to the 64-bit ABI were quite insignificant. So (almost) nobody uses x32 but opts for the 64-bit ABI instead. It makes sense that Microsoft don't even bother to implement it.
Installing an OS yourself will always require a little more tweaking than using the one preintalled. Any Linux distro you can download will always loose to Windows/MacOS in this regard. So buy a computer with Linux preinstalled and the tweaking needed to get the hardware working will already be done.
But to be honest, don't we all do the tweaking mostly because it's allowed, not so much because it's required. So a distro that forbids tweaking might be required to really compete with Windows and MacOS. So, ChromeOS maybe. Otherwise you might be doomed to tweaking hell.
Are people seriously advocating for systemd to be a babysitter for the root user? I would definitely be more upset if systemd posed restrictions upon what I was allowed to do (as root). But, sure, I understand the problem (which Etcetera seems to be the only one to touch upon) that systemd makes it harder to strengthen the security by generally limiting the possibilities to customize your system.
People who come from a DOS/Windows background also seem to think that "rm -rf
If anyone is to blame here it's the BIOS developer I think. A more robust implementation would have some fallback code in ROM that lets you at least install a new flash image. But while PCs have generally been quite robust (until now), where have been other more easily bricked systems. Sometimes you can remove the flash IC and rewrite it. Sometimes you just have to toss the hardware. It's annoying but it doesn't make me blame the software for not preventing me from doing the mistakes I did (which wasn't simply running "rm -rf
SystemBSD sounds like a cool project. When will it be ported to Linux?
The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.
