As in many large projects, even more so with a large company, the point is not to react when the problems are happening, it is to preempt these problems, foresee them and prevent t…

Not even. Zstd offers the best decompression times using just one single core. Multi-threading is a feature for the compression side.

Wow, LZ4 high compression mode has become really fast, at least on my system. I don't need to settle on some lower compression setting now. That's -9 all the way.

The probability is much lower than that. To begin with, it requires the distance between 2 consecutive matches to be exactly 65536. This is extremely rare. Mountains of files never…

Interesting, nVidia selected to go with zstd instead: https://developer.nvidia.com/nvcomp

This guy has no idea what he's talking about. Yet again another click-baity title, followed by an angry rant, the topic of which has nothing to do with C after all (but readers hav…

Quite the reverse actually, the btrfs estimator is way worse than the zstd one. By using the btrfs estimator, you leave a ton of compression ratio on the table, for no good reason.…

Finally, someone dares to talk. My own experience with this group has been remarkably similar. Oversized ego, dismissive of others, overtly aggressive to competing ideas and techno…

Well, indeed, there are limits to copyrights that are supposed to be applicable when using trivial common names. But ever since a certain company decided to call itself "fruit", an…

Or maybe this is a classical troll scheme, like we have seen a hundred times, black money used to confiscate a public good (a common name) and ransom it to highest bidder, all this…

I think the pb is that it's so barebone that pretty much nothing works out of the box. One has to add a few more components, depending on which application needs to run (as an OS a…

Well, maybe you have to remember the capacities of these days. If my memory serves me right, a "good" computer for win98se was 64 MB of RAM. But of course, there were plenty of "le…

Why does it sound so much like a scam ?

Interestingly, the author manages to spend the entire blog entry without even mentioning Apple's own Ad Network. If there is a single example where you pay (the devices, the apps) …

The part where he is wrong is the premisses that every new computer must more or less gives up all the software of the previous one in order to reach a new trajectory. This used to…

You obviously haven't lived a single of these "trainings". Once they are in place, it's part of a broader culture. People receiving these mandatory trainings are afraid. During the…

That's not the reality. Once they arrive, these kind of trainings become Compulsory for everybody. Those who refused are fired, with cause. Well, everybody "white", of course, thus…

> I’m buying an iPhone because Apple curates the App Store Ahah, Ahahah.... AhaHAHAHAHAHAH Sure, the App Store is just full of Scam Applications that are "so hard to detect" that t…

What @shkkmo said is right : the problem is the total absence of consumer choice. It's strange that he got downvoted for telling something so obvious.

> in the aggregate Apple does do more for privacy than Facebook Then you are extremely naive. Apple takes away from you as much private data as it can. It's just very bad at exploi…

Ever heard of the concept of "selling your business" ? On what ground is it valued, at sell time, if not based on the promise of future equivalent revenues ? This is hard, concrete…

The problem is about ATT being only triggered for _all other_ Ad networks, but _not_ for Apple's own Ad network, which is sneakily enabled by default. Sounds like an obvious monopo…

How come no one complains against CC companies about this obvious sell off of our privacy ? How come they are not targeted, neither by NGO nor government agencies ?
