I think you forgot what the "H" in "HN" means.

This is often said but if you want to "diagnose" something then the terribly limited Android shell is about the last place you want to be, and a sandboxed one on top of it is worse…

I now realize how hypocritical it is for Spain to ask about Gibraltar to the UK while they still are keeping Ceuta in Morocco.

In addition, when we usually say that triggering undefined behavior on C can start a game of Tetris or format your hard disk we're usually joking (or at least exaggerating), i.e. t…

I am quite sure AMD is already using a fork of the Linux amdgpu KMD for their proprietary driver on Windows (which in part explains why a project like this can even be done) Portin…

And SPF doesn't?

But there is no evidence whatsoever for what you are saying (in fact the nvidia drivers are portable and may perform comparably or even better than the free ones). On the other han…

See the first message of TFA. The author complains that amdgpu has way too many linuxisms that make it impractical to port it to non-Linux ( unless you are already emulating Linux)…

They are literally the only one who has managed to do it,, and they do so by having a huge layer of compatibility that takes years to update to new versions and support newer gener…

What I find depressing is because of idiotic Linux policies, it turns out nvidia hardware is easier to run on a 3rd party OS than hardware with otherwise fully open source drivers …

Even big US companies today are full of "Is this good for the company?", "Our company values" and other cringe-inducing loyalty/ethics-related propaganda, about as much as 30 years…

I always found it relevant that in Spanish-dubs they translate the name of Homer to "Homero" which would be basically how you would refer to the classic author rather than to some …

I remember implementing the paper at some point, and though it was fun enough that it would make for a slightly less boring programming project for students.

I think the name is meaningless to the average layman, therefore useless. Something like "(private) chat police" would probably transmit what this is about but is not as catchy.

You are generalizing. The design may very well be simpler, just more expensive.

Glad to hear, because that's how much a battery will degrade by itself in 1 to 2 years if you're average lucky.

More like just 1 year later even if you just store it unused, considering typical battery degradation.

That's almost like saying that with 2 registers you can only do additions with 2 operands. True, but missing the picture. The number of segments is not limited by the number of seg…

I think you are missing the entire point of the article (which I kinda agree with), and just repeating the popular wisdom. In the era a machine with "object addressing" sounded lik…

I'll note that OpenSuse also has Packman which a shitton of people enable (for codecs), has also 'one namespace only' an looser policies than the main distro. I do not think this s…

What native apps is Microsoft developing as of lately?

I am using 10G over an ~15m 4 twisted pair phone cable (PTT, common in France even decades ago for ISDN, but no cat cable at all) and don't remember seeing a frame lost in quite so…

No, the transceivers get hot. This is because of plenty of small metal surfaces, so even if they do not consume too much they will immediately get warm to the touch.
