You forgot the stage light effect. Mysteriously Apple give a free fix/service program for the 13" models but not the 15" models. Kind of sucks if you had a 15" model that started to go bad.

If you consider that Facebook bans around 5B accounts per year ( https://www.forbes.com/sites/melissaholzberg/2021/03/22/face... ). At this point that's more noise than signal. Not ideal for you

True, and I think Quarterdeck (and Pharlap, Rational, etc.) developed the VCPI specification that allowed those DOS extenders to work cooperatively. Some of the early DOS extenders took over the entire machine and did not allow that.

Around that time DOS programs were still being written to fit within 640KB of memory. However PC's were starting to be shipped with 2, 4 or even 8MB of RAM - memory really was a solution in search of a problem at that point. Windows 3.

Vaguely related: there's Firecracker which boots in 125ms on x86 but that's as a VM, so it's an apples to oranges comparison. From what I recall Firecracker powers AWS Lambda so it's an interesting project in that respec

Not the OP and I wouldn't say I'm a fan but I've made some peace with it by putting a membrane cover over the top and so far: (a) not one dust related casualty in the past 18 months and (b) it subdues the clackety-clack of th

I expect they correlated logs from several sources, maybe the guy connected via ssh to Apple's servers at the same time his mac accessed software update or something. If he sent all traffic down the VPN it'd show the same IP addr

Don't do this to the space bar! I used the same trick as the video to fix/clean several keys out and had a pretty good feel for what I was doing. However the stress/weak points on the spacebar are quite different and you&#x27

That's not a fair comment and you know it. Yes, instrumentation adds overhead. The absolute numbers cannot be used to determine peak performance but that's never the intention when profiling code. Instrumentation rarely modifies

Only played with it a bit so far but it seems to me that the call and flame charts are now missing any timing information. Unless I've overlooked it you can't actually see how long a function takes to execute - defeats the purpose

Actually, Nintendo were releasing 3D games even before the PS1. Starfox was the first poly 3D game from Nintendo and was released in 1992, at least a year, maybe more, before the PS1.

I think it would be a lot more palettable if Nim enforced one of those coding conventions per module, while letting users of that module reference it any way they liked. e.g. my team could exclusively use camelCase and the compiler enfor

It is not other vendors that you need to be worried about. For example, when joining Khronos (OpenGL, GLES and others) you get royalty free permission to use any technology in Khronos' specifications and you, as a vendor, have to offe

Stop pulling numbers out your ass. The specs for the MBA are online and it draws 6.5W with the display on.

Oh, I'm not dismissing Rust. I think my overall point is that nothing is ever going to perfect. Plan for imperfection.

Sorry, I'm not limiting the discussion to SSL vulnerabilities. A remote code exploit is as bad as a memory leak. I posted these two: CVE-2013-1493 and CVE-2013-0809 in another reply. These 2 were memorable to me just because visiting a

That is true, but I don't think this invalidates my central point that the rational response to heartbleed is to update your contigency plans. The irrational response is to plan the perfect world. After 20 years of Java we still don&#x

1. I think a lot of people believe Rust will just type-check any old program and tell you when it has faults. So you can start with a bit of Ruby/C/Python, translate it to Rust and presto, all your bugs are exposed for the world

by eatfish 12y ago
But even 'safe' languages have unsafe VMs. There is no question that over the years these VMs (or the runtimes) have had equally severe vulnerabilities. The thing that really sets heartbleed apart is not the details of the bug, it

I thought it was neat that they let me email myself with a reminder. This is an MVP, it's just the right response.

by eatfish 13y ago
Agreed. My experiments with rust have been uphill because I've been fighting with lifetimes, ownership and borrowing. For the most part I failed to see that I -needed- unsafe code in some situations. Instead I was trying (failing) to a

Yes, played entire Portal/Portal2 on it. It was fine. Maybe you should be railing at game developers that port to the Mac but then don’t update their acceleration curves to fit the platform. That’s the problem, when games are deve

In your opinion. Your opinion is obviously in conflict with 3 million other people last weekend. Perhaps you're wrong.
