Don't take this too serious. If it would stop driving bans for diesels, this government would also consider rainbow unicorns for every school kid. (Hello downvotes? If you are not in tune with German politics: this is the same governme

They are complaining about "toxic content directed at children". We are talking about the worlds biggest ice cream manufacturer, they own brands like Lipton who make billions from sugar water with ads like these Muppet animation

Actually, they are. Arguably it's the cryptominer fools that the part manufacturers want nothing to do with, because chances are you ramp up manufacturing now (so 3-6 months until you actually see higher supply) and by then they are on

This isn't even a UK case. What do they care if Sweden wants to drop it?

A basic lack of fundamental understanding has caused the author to quickly fall into an expertly laid trap by marketers that seek to equate 48 volt systems with some sort of "green, hybrid, clean" spirit, leading to such bizarre s

Eh, not for WebGL it won't. Nobody even implements DX other than high-powered desktop GPUs. Will it live on? Sure, we will still have games and Xboxes. But if you're going to pick a standard that can work on mobile and desktop, th

Today, APIs don't keep working for a month because someone thought replacing careful design with a bad emulation of SQL is the new hotness. They call it GraphQL .

This is a bit of a rambling mess, but to just make one point: the winner has been chosen. Android is implementing Vulkan, and so Vulkan it will be.

Your mistake is in assuming that someone is trying to solve some scholarly distinction between who matches the dictionary definition of either term better. No. It's a tax construct, and that is the only criteria we should use to measur

The poorest inhabitants in London don't live in the kind of home where they can install a wood stove. They rent and likely have central heating.

If it is so trivial, what is the big deal with "Single Page Applications"? Seems like plenty of pain there in the HTML and CSS world.. Meanwhile, there have never been anything but Single Page Applications in the native world. And

It answers the question: you can't just look at gross native memory usage and conclude the Java app is 100x less efficient, that value simply doesn't tell you a lot. Server VMs are commonly configured to use gigabytes of RAM from

by revelation 9y ago
Java has its own heap so the memory usage, certainly for a server VM, doesn't necessarily correspond to actual application memory use. (Also, of course, your main server uses "up to" 5 GiB? That's fucking great. Until it

Yet every run still has many thousands of RNG invocations for that particular metric. To be off by a few percent, safe to say that RNG would fail any randomness test.

They probably turned it off after an increase in support requests when people inevitably at one point don't have the "wallet" around. Of course they don't care for other sites support load enough to look at their 50 entr

I don't think that data is likely to be kept, raw or otherwise, on anything other than a very small rolling window, if even that. What the author of this article missed is the boot full of server racks that have the storage and process

No one is asking for historical location data, but merely what the car recorded as your input and other driving parameters before, during, after a crash. Where exactly is the privacy interest in that?

yocto and buildroot have that market truly locked down because there are a lot of requirements beyond just size.

by revelation 9y ago
Something like OpenWRT or buildroot can fit into 8 MiB easy. These people have an actual reason to make small "containers" because flash is a big part of the BoM cost and adds up when you are shipping many thousands.

I understand it is about containers. But no disk space of the world is worth your container app crashing because someone wanted to save a few megabytes by ditching glibc or otherwise just pushing more work into each and every individual con
