Well, I wouldn't trust a screwdriver to plant a nail. Not because the screwdriver is "untrustworthy", but because it's the wrong tool for the job.
Same here. If you don't want buffer overflows and threading issues, C++ is a pretty poor choice for the job. Rust was designed to address precisely these kinds of problems.
But (a) it's written in Rust because Mozilla didn't trust C++
It was not that they did not trust C++ (itself) but it is easier to verify the rust implementation (because rust does a lot of the memory safety checks at compile time), and there is a long long long history of codecs having memory safety issues. One less potential future exploit is always a good thing (one should note that rust does not protect against logic errors, so the code may still be wrong, just potentially less wrong).
So... they didn't trust C++ for this job.
and even then they didn't replace JPEG
I'm using webp for all my images needs these days.
My point being that when you wrote "There's no GPS in my PC, idiots", the fact that there are no GPS does not mean your PC cannot locate you, and thus the popup could still be relevant.
Now is it annoying like hell? Heck yes. Not my point at all.
Regarding location data, even on a laptop or a desktop, an imprecise location can be deducted from wifi triangulation. You still need wifi though which is present on all laptops and many desktops sold these days. Or can be added with a USB wifi adapter.
The president has immunity. And he can (probably) pardon himself. We'll see what happens after his second term.
There are moving parts in all the cameras, you know, for being abot to focus.
AI cannot extrapolate, per construction. They can interpolate better than anyone, but as soon as you leave its dataset, it has no clue anymore.
You can feed the best AI a trillion photos of cats, if none of them included a black cat, it will be fundamentally unable to tell you that a picture of a black cat contains a cat.
The illusion that it can extrapolate comes from the fact that these models are fed with humongous amounts of data, so even just interpolating is still mostly good enough as you won't go near the edge of the dataset.
Religion? Rust? What are you talking about.
Rust is a programming language. It is groundbreaking in that it offers one feature that no other language has: It can guarantee thread safety.
In thew modern world of multi core everything, even on phones, it it a pretty big deal.
There is no religion involved.
Servo was meant to be groundbreaking. It builds a rendering engine which is multithreaded.
None of the competition have that. And since virtually all clients have many many cores, this holds the promise of being many times faster than anything existing right now.
Mozilla invented Rust specifically for this. They started rewriting Gecko in Rust and alas, pursuing bells ans whistles, they ended up dumping the project.
What a bunch of morons.
who cares if you have excedent
Well, you have to get rid of the extra electricity. That's one more problem to handle.
What about a lawyer who won their first case and then immediately changed profession — would that qualify?
..who are legally forced to contribute back any changes they've made to the code in source form.
No they are not, please read the GPL again and don't spread misinformation about how open source licenses works. Rockship doesn't have to contribute jack sh** (irrelavant of the fact that they changed the license, which is blatant violation of GPL).
"However, any developer who modifies an LGPL-covered component is required to make their modified version available under the same LGPL license."
Still no. They are required to make their modified version available under the same LGPL license to the people they distribute their product to
If you use it for internal purposes to your company, you are not required to do anything.
If you're going to allow Unicode, should you arbitrarily disallow certain ranges/glyphs because they're in a list of those assigned to emojis?
Well, that's already the case. You cannot start an identifer with a "number" in many languages (C included). A "number" is an arbitrarily defined subset of all glyphs. Also, one might not use a "whitespace" in an identifier. Guess what a "whitespace" is? An arbitrarily defined subset of all glyphs.
So what you are describing as utter nonsense is exactly what is going on under the scene right now with pretty much all languages.
Wow. The day your bubble burst is going to be hard for you.
Some people pray for more than they are willing to work for.
