They will have to, they cannot stop the industry going to downloads. This is the smartest thing they could do.
It's very interesting that game shops were mostly replaced by video game shops which now need to become game shops again.
I read the GP question as how did apple fuck this up in the first place?
You didn't offer me anything and a comment is not a signature, so no and no.
"Honest question"
You have never in slashdot history asked one of those
Ok bot
If you can waive it, it's not a right.
Wordperfect was fine, and I mean the GUI version. It still lived on for a long time (and may be in use still) because it was FAR better for forms and formatting.
The Linux app for Debian just fails silently for me.
Zoom is shit.
That's the opposite situation.
Python "the language" is interpreted.
And the loop doing the multiplication is a C/C++ routine.
Ooops.
For basic math, C++ is ~10,000% faster than Python.
No.
As the math is not done in Python, but in the c libraries.
Perhaps with some generousity in odd cases factor 10 to 100, see below.
Perhaps if you have some nonsense like:
for (int i; i != 100000; i++) {
var res = random() * random();
}
Where every single statement is interpreted, then it might be a factor of 100 slower. But certainly not 10,000.
However that is not how Python works. The loop above is a C loop, which gets called with a closure.
And many closures are "recognized" by the compiler
Obviously you can construct an arbitrary complex function and call this in a loop and create an example where Python is significantly slower, but not by such an absurd factor.
Anyway. I assume we can agree that the Python program does not need more than a second per multiplication
I am tempted to test it, but I am to lazy to google the correct syntax for such a for loop
Regarding JavaScript: it only has doubles
Dart and a few other languages do "the same trick". Everything is a double. Unless it is a NaN.
Erm, actually everything is a double or an int or a pointer. If it is Not A NaN
NaNs that pop up during floating point operations are never stored in memory
I'm not sure you understand what jailbreaking means in the context of AIs. It means prompts. E.g. asking it things and trying to get it to make inappropriate responses. Trying doesn't require any special skills, just an ability to communicate. Yes, I very much DO think most parents will try and see if they can get the doll to say inappropriate things before giving it to their children, to make sure it's not going to be harmful.
(Now, if Mattel has done their job right, *succeeding* will be difficult)
Stable populations provide growth.
As you can see all over the world as most countries have a stable or shrinking population.
"Growth" is a monetary thing and not a population thing. And has nothing to do with automation either.
Instant apps created a lot of complexity and awkwardness in the Android platform. It has consistently been painful to deal with and work around, and been especially challenging for the security team, for a feature with very little user or developer interest. Killing it is definitely the right call.
At the text size I like I have enough words on a 4.75 inch screen for readability (better than a newspaper).
I'm in my 40s, but I'm pretty near sighted, so I don't use reading glasses yet, but I feel like in a few years I'll want the current sized phones.
But there are a lot of people under 45.
Allowing a customer to service their own stuff while still being responsible for the maintenance contract is a potential nightmare.
No, it is not. You write the contract so that if the customer fucks it up it's their problem, and if you have to undo things that they did when you get there, they have to pay for it.
