And nobody considers that dishonest? It's cheating in the spirit of the rules if not the letter of the rules.

So what will be the security flaws we will see in Rust-based software in the future? Seems like there are still many kinds of flaws that no language can prevent.

If people keep buying their crap then why would they be motivated to fix it?

Many or most of the competitors would disagree it's not a race until KM 199. Only in boring flat races where the pack stays all together and there are no serious breakaways is that true.

Chris Horner could have been another Lemond or Armstrong if his career had played out better. He did win a grand tour though to prove that ability.

How is this so? I thought RISC-V was fixed length, except for 16 bit compressed instructions. And afaik those aren't identified by a singular particular bit.

Read or write code points quickly, with validation.

Given the current ubiquity of UTF-8, is there value in having native CPU instructions for it? Or do they exist somewhere already?

ARM has all these variations which make it seem as complicated as x86, but they are distict variations and future CPUs can for example drop 16 bit Thumb fairly clearly.

It's just MIPS64 with some additions. They should have used RISC-V instead but they probably had too much technical investment in their MIPS tweak.

If you are talking about Erlang and D etc then your uses are unusual and not typically commercial and so I don't put much value in your response. No offense intended though.

Do these writers realize that multi-millionaires actually often eat at fast food restaurants? I could literally buy a hundred S class Mercedes cars and yet I went to Target a couple days ago to buy a dish scrubber and got a cheeseburger at

Seems like "and so on" implies there are a bunch of places.

Half the outrage is the claim that these companies are paying no U.S. taxes. Is that claim substantially incorrect? There are all these details you mention, but if Google is avoiding paying US taxes on billions in profit then how much detai

FTP is not reliable. It has survived (though it's nearly dead) only due to entrenchment.

Did they have any rationale for that?

My favorite was a record single included with an issue that played a song but played with a differently every time (well up to eight times). Super Spectacular Day.

True, but text processing is still easier with UTF-32, because UTF-8 and UTF-16 strings need to be converted to UTF-32 before you can do anything with them.

Well if memory cost wasn't an issue then UCS-4 would be nicest. But 4x the memory for most strings is currently unacceptable.

Has there ever been a large scale successful rewrite? How much of Netscape/Firefox was rewritten from the ground up?

I maintained a fork of webkit ~12 years ago and it was a nightmare to maintain because every couple months they would massively reengineer systems and result in hundreds of non-trivial file changes. And because webkit had a brain-dead way o

As if other vendors are certainly more secure. Those bans seem more based on media exposure than known technical facts and evaluations.

I don't see how the large majority of security problems could be solved by any OS design. Human failures would just account for 95% of breaches instead of the current 85% (made up numbers). Not saying the OS improvements aren't us

I've read that AV is a dumpster fire on Linux and you're lucky if anything runs and Linux has never solved it and no resolution in sight.

This post is ridiculous. Why does this crap keep making it to the front page?

Isn't imagelib already very good and does a few special things like dynamic downscale?
