They are different issues: Windows and Mac OS users using 21:9 monitors will have aspect ratio / black bars problems, Linux users with standard 16:9, 16:10 monitors will have problems with full hd and 4k resolutions.
And even if these are two small user bases please consider the efforts required in order to fix the problems we are talking about. What could possibly take to lift the block on full hd as I am already doing with some browser extension? How hard could it be to copy the crop detection algorithm from mpc?
A simpler solution would be to use the same CPU done with a slightly newer process to allow a higher clock rate. That would ease the recertification process.

If you think they are at best 40 MHz 286 parts, the best that was available by then, running software derived from previous releases that ran on slower chips, there is plenty of room for improvement.

IIRC, you can get a modern 65816 (the 16-bit descendant of the 6502) in 300+ MHz. And I wouldn't expect it to be on a cutting edge process.

That considered, it's entirely possible most of the time is being consumed by reading the sensors. In that case, the sensor communication would need to be upgraded and recertified.
Source quality and video codecs are so good these days that those "inferior" rips will be much higher quality than, say, DVDs. It's all about "good enough".

China Will Explore Mars in 2020
When my kids were about the age of yours, I did the bulk of my learning during the weekends; there was always at least half a day's worth of 'free' time distributed throughout those two days. I can't remember if it was Trello or Basecamp, but I used one of the online project/todo/card management sites to maintain a list of ideas/links/bookmarks etc., during the week (this is a lot of fun in itself, it's like filling a shopping cart!), and then worked off the board over the weekend. I found this helped me to appreciate the progress I was making -- it can feel quite slow-going in the beginning -- half a day a week amounts to 2 days over 4 weeks. Inevitably, as you progress (as you start to gain some proficiency in your new skill) you'll find yourself putting a few more hours in during the week; excitement and creativity being the greatest motivators! Good luck! It's not easy, but it's eminently do-able.

S9+ owner. Yeah, Bixby button is very annoying. The worst is that you have to register to their service in order to tone the button down a bit.

After toning it down, a single press doesn't do anything, but sometimes I do accidentally long press while trying to adjust volume or grabbing the phone. The Bixby update screen that pops up doesn't respect back button at all, need to click cancel.

Samsung should instead make it freely configurable button, including ability to completely disable it.
Physical access road wireless keyboard, even if the system is physically secured is different. Typing some characters and recording the traffic, on a logged out computer, that totally possible and a lot less suspicious.
I agree with you. The title is misleading. I thought this was about frying the device. When people say the raspberry pi is design not to be bricked, they are referring to not fucking the circuitry beyond use without physical repair, not some user process stuck in an infinite loop.

It is possible to cross the equator twice without following a great circle, but it's not possible to follow a great circle without crossing the equator twice; perhaps this is the source of the confusion. In other words, you can reasonably say that crossing the equator is a necessary, but not sufficient, criterion for circumnavigation (it is of course not possible to cross the equator only once and return to your starting point).

A good additional stipulation might be that the equatorial crossings must be separated by 180 degrees of longitude, plus or minus however tolerant you're willing to be.
Yeah, but people in the scene are good. Like, world class good.

Even now, I don't think any of macOS's recent failings are as bad as the Windows 10 update that deleted user documents [0], or all the official spyware and adware in the only operating system where you have to pay to even customize your wallpaper.

As for mobile, does anybody remember hearing of any iOS cross-app malware ("viruses") in the decade since it launched? I think that's pretty amazing.

This is actually interesting from the perspective of fairness in e-sports. It's been rumoured that professional players could "cheat on LAN" by side-loading cheat software through modified hardware supplying custom 'drivers'.

If the hardware itself has vulnerabilities it could be used to mask the cheat loading and make it harder for the host PCs to detect if any of that side-loading is happening.
Thank you for the pointers. Good point about "Zoko not using Zoko" :-) Will change that before teh end of the month.

The stat is from a widely quoted Forrester study.

Interestingly the website was built in a day using a free service called WIX. We dont have much difficulty convincing clients. Our paying clients may have actually seen our website in passing. Most of the selling is by getting clients via facebok and linkedin ads and demos scheduled via Skype/hangouts/anydesk/zoom etc.

Probably had 4 people reach out to us by the website in 4 months. its been kind of ignored till now.

Of all problems Thunderbird has, the look and feel of the UI is the least of my problems actually. Maybe it's just how I use mail, but probably like 90% of interaction with the UI is that white space where I read and type email text. I don't really care, or even notice, what's shown around that white space.

I looked at the T495(s) and all the best AMD-based laptops recently. They aren't that good, certainly not better than Intel-based offerings, except for the improved integrated graphics. notebookcheck.net has some decent comparisons.

But the laptop parts (3700U) are still old-gen CPUs, not the ones everybody is happy about this year. Hopefully in 2020 we get some decent 7nm options with Thunderbolt, HiDPI screens and LPDDR4.

I would put C++ also as sometimes.

RC is part of the standard library, although optional, strings and vectors might use COW and since C++11 there is a tracing GC API, Windows COM/UWP relies on RC, and Unreal uses a C++ tracing GC on Blueprint integration components.
The Lounge (https://thelounge.chat/) would be a good choice
It is sad to read these comments by people believing POSIX is something relevant today. My advice is to give up on false hope that POSIX will solve portability problems. POSIX ideas of shell are 30 years old and refusing to use anything newer alone won't make your script work correctly on all systems. If feasible, install bash, which has become the standard de facto. Or just write your script to test for the shell version and then launch appropriate code path.
If they choose to import some code from elsewhere sure. They could run their own advert by hosting "advert.jpg" on their server and wrapping it in an anchor tag.

You mean MS historically has 100% more security issues. Also IE alone competes with entire OSes in that top 10.

That proves the other comment right, but surely you can spin it other ways. Anyone who has switched from old windows to Mac doesn’t need numbers to tell how wild it was.
The problem with workplace bonding over drug use is that it either causes people with substance abuse problems to either self-select out of participating, or abusing substances, or being stressed out by them being consumed in the workplace.

I say this, as a drinker, who does not have a substance problem.

It's one thing if the team occasionally goes out for an activity, which culminates in drinks. It's another thing when the thing people do every Friday afternoon is drink.

It's important to know that there were once many implementations of X11. Xorg is the only one that hasn't failed. Everything else is unmaintained now.

This may be a matter of different perspective, but from my point of view the Xorg maintainers did a monumental work modularizing and cleaning up the codebase. They kept integrating modern extensions and have kept X11 relevant all this time. Try something pre-Xorg to compare.

This is interesting, but as someone who has formed a UK limited company (and yes, it is as easy as the article claims), they've missed that the tricky part is getting a bank account. The onus is on the banks to carry out checks under "Know your Client", not Companies House. Registering a company in the UK doesn't really get you anything, other than a thin veneer of authenticity among people who don't understand how easy it is.

Not saying it's not a problem, but they should have looked into how easy it is to get banking for these "novelty" businesses.

That requires Dbus, LOL.

Also, the API is not part of the Wayland protocol. In other words, not every compositor will implement it, and if they do, it will have its costs.
I think patching is firmly in your hands now, and this data may help you choose to upgrade if you were holding off for some reason. Imagine your favorite iOS game was broken by the release that fixes this, so you've been ignoring the update. Now that you know your phone can be bricked by a malicious text message, you may decide "I guess I won't be playing that game for a while" and upgrade. The point is, pretty much everyone that applies every update (which is automatic) has the update now. The last few stragglers are probably waiting for information exactly like this. Now they have it.
As a techy person in their mid twenties, I've used irc extensively over the years and I miss it quite a bit. It doesn't have all the fancy features of modern messaging solutions because it was focused on the thing that actually mattered: conversations with others.
These days when I look at the discord servers I'm in, a lot of it is just sharing images, spamming emotes and other silly things. Actual conversations are fairly rare.
We had used irc at work as well for internal chatting. But after a while we switched to a paid, proprietary solution and the experience with that was honestly a lot worse. It seemed more businessy and that had an effect on how people used the service as well. There was a lot of informal, fun talk on irc but it turned fairly serious when we switched.
I kind of hope that irc will somehow see a resurrection of sorts. It's not dead, but it's slowly fading for sure.

Black bars are not a problem. It's simply the result of another aspect ratio. It shouldn't be fixed.
I wonder if it would be possible to do a GUI mostly-drop-in replacement for ncurses.

Immediate advantages, at least for me:

- a possibility to use proportional fonts, it's more pleasant for me and increases content density

- borders and other decorations could be smaller, increasing density

- smooth scrolling could be implemented, which is nice

- it could better integrate with desktop environment

Possible and very much desired extensions:

- basic image and video support

- possibility to use different font sizes

It would still be limited to a coarse grid, but that's what makes development easy.

I never looked beyond superficial it's possible or easy enough to do. I also don't have much experience, beyond basics with ncurses.

The airline "needs" to know who you are because they're trying to maintain their business model - capturing as much ticket value as possible - this would be impossible of airline tickets could be sold on a secondary market. Or they might have an obligation to a destination country to provide a passenger manifest.

Immigration might need a record of who you are because they're presumably trying to enforce immigration controls.

The airport doesn't need to know who you are. They are providing a building with some ancillary services like shopping and dining.

If the airport needs to have a record of you being there. What's next? Does the train to the airport need a record? What about the taxi you took to get to the train station. What about the 3 block walk you took to get to the bus stop?
I find myself watching less and less content, which is not available on Netflix. I even gradually dropped some tv-series I liked, because they were not on Netflix. Everything else (pirated or not) just seems so clumsy in comparison.
I want something simpler: to pay for a movie or show when I want to watch it. From the one spot (e.g. Google Play movies and it's ilk). Shouldn't be too hard. I don't understand why studios don't licence things to get a direct payment for them, instead forcing a subscription that I don't want and won't use.
You can see why Nouveau devs are having difficulties with Nvidia in a Xorg developer confereence talk[1].

* Most important requests left unanswered...

* ... until more complete code than wanted lands publicly innvgpuweeks later

BA has becoming a low cost carrier over the last 10-15 years and make a large profit from it. They're trading on their past glories and failing to innovate.

Last time I traveled BA in first it was shocking, rude crew, dirty seats. FinnAir in Business on the other had is a joy to behold.

I used to hit 2500 tier points a year on BA metal, I barely make 300 now, just occasional short flights in europe, but they've doubled-down on the 737 max, so I guess that will end soon too.

Excellent. Now I wish they pick another big corporation (just pick one) and hand them a similar fine for using a standard GDPR opt-in-by-default popup.

They need to make it clear through action, not just vague wording, that having a default of allowing all tracking is not ok.

Pop ups should say “hi and welcome to site X. Click the yelliow button to enter with tracking/personalization and the blue button to enter without”.
I was more hoping to have a discussion about it.

> That's clearly primitive and makes it hard to find the original context.

Maybe. I am positive I miss 99% of replies (in "threads") in Slack. I always felt like the feature is designed for the case where you've already decided something, but people want to show up and bikeshed it, so they get a little area that nobody can see where they do that. Maybe that's not what it's meant for. But when I want to reply to someone, I say "@whoever, regarding foo that you were talking about earlier..." I think this is the IRC way of handling that and it seems correct to me. The reality is, sometimes you've missed your window to contribute to a conversation. No tool is going to change that.
I worked for a hosting company for 10ish years, and they started out their hosting by providing people with UML-based virtual machines for £10/month.

In terms of isolation it is "pretty good". The guest has their own kernel, and you can run it as an ordinary user. Add a chroot jail and you can have 50-150 different UML instances running on a single host, each under their own UID. They can't talk to each other, and if they do manage to exploit the kernel they're only gonna get the access to the host which you restrict with chroot, and standard things.

It's less of a risk to run isolated things than this than have lots of containers share the same kernel. An escape there means container-A can view/poke container-B AND the host.

Of course there is overhead, and most people moved on from UML to Xen/KVM when they became available - both have better performance thanks to virtio, and both have more flexibility for networking, block devices & etc.

Im my experience, you DO have time still. It is more of a question of WHAT STATE you are in when this time is there.

After having the baby and changing job, I found it VERY hard to find time to learn new stuff or work on my side projects.
The main issue was not time itself, but the fact that I was exhausted, so used this time for brainless activities like gaming or watching TV.

Reading `deep work` helped me a lot realize this and I am now doing better at it. The first step is to recognize that you still have this time :)
The point I was trying to make is that your end users are fundamentally the ones suffering. You are not suffering, because you avoid the problem by throwing money at it. Nvidia is not suffering, because you as a community don't matter to their wallet.

The only people who suffer are the people we write software for. Maybe that doesn't matter to you, because you write software only for people like you. That's fair. It matters to me though.
Thanks for calling me paranoid! That's a compliment!
