That is a strength, not a weakness. It allows for things like 64-bit immediate loads, 32-bit branch offsets, and nearly unlimited future extensibility. With RISC-V, multiple instruction workarounds are needed for all of the above, and those

People are no longer buying internet to use google, nor buying gas for cars? The others I understand, I'm cutting back on them too.

Depends on your financial situation, but $10 is nothing these days. That's the price of a bougie coffee, half the price of going out to eat, half the price of a movie ticket, or less than 2 gallons of gas in some states. For most peopl

Lua basically already has ternary operators anyway since "and" and "or" short circuit. I also don't see the need of adding additional syntax for it. local x = condition ? value_a : value b local x = condition

I cannot think of a legitimate purpose for residential proxies existing. They take advantage of people who don't understand what they're being asked to give "consent" to, and then offer up those people's internet co

There's a part of the .so ELF file (the Global Offset Table aka GOT) that has to be modified with all the addresses of the functions being imported, which of course vary from process to process. If not patching, what exactly would you
16.
by 201984 3mo ago
How do you think position independent code can call functions from other .so's without being patched with their addresses? They can't, so even PIC code still has to have a relocation table that gets patched. It's in a differe

Shared libraries (and mmapped files in general) are deduplicated; it's nowhere near as bad as you think. The kernel loads a .so into memory once and then maps that memory into every process that mmaps it. Editing to add: this deduplica

I just don't get why an image format needs the ceremony from being an international standard accepted by governments. It's just an image format; governments shouldn't be involved in this at all. What did ISO give the JPEG XL

Does anyone know why the JPEG XL team went through ISO instead of publishing it themselves?

by 201984 4mo ago
Seems "closed but royalty free" would be a more accurate description then.
21.
by 201984 4mo ago
Mostly off topic, but why is the spec for JPEG and JPEG XL paywalled? I wouldn't call them open standards if they're not available free-of-charge to the public.

This is false. Evaporative cooling systems consume significant amounts of water and do not reuse it. They can't anyway, recondensing the water would release all the heat they removed by evaporating it.

How are kids supposed to have a safe space "to be curious, build autonomy, and feel free" if they can't get out from the authoritarian hands of their parents or their government?

So you'd switch USA for China, and still have a foreign dependency embedded into the very fabric of your society. Do you not see a problem with this?

What, like electronic payments using phones running American operating systems? With the bonus that you have two new gatekeepers that can lock your citizens out (Apple and Google).
