I have been using a 64-bit Linux distro since I bought my first Athlon 64 almost 14 years ago. Why some software is still distributed as 32-bit mystifyies me. I'm looking at you Steam, I hate having to install a crapton of libraries just for a single program.
I recently watched a movie in Cantonese. The children would call their parents "mama" and "papa". So yes, it's used in way more languages than Indoeuropean ones.
I think one of the reasons is that, due the multiresolution nature of wavelets, JPEG 2000 allows decompressing an image at a fraction of the original size without having to decompress and then downsample unnecessary data. So an older projector can directly extract a 2K video from a 4K or 8K stream.
Ask any photographer, or just anybody with an interest in photography with a decent camera and a sizable photo collection. When you have thousand of photos you don't want each one taking 30 or 40 megs. On the other hand, JPEG is really limited in terms of color gamut, that's my number one reason for wanting a new format.
Most of the planet is exposed to American propaganda 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (mostly thanks to Hollywood and other forms of American media), and we don't cry like little babies. So much for American exceptionalism...
Actually, the words most similar across all the language in the world are those for "mother" and "father", and for a good reason. Most use the sounds M and P, which are among the easiest for a baby to learn, and of course parents want to be the first word their baby says.
RISC-V is pretty much a modern day MIPS, and its fully open source and patent free. I really hope any of the big manufacturers makes a high performance core and it becomes the next standard.
What you describe is known as the analog hole (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_hole), and it's why watermarking algorithms were invented. Some devices will refuse to play the resulting video if they detect a watermark and the video doesn't come from a reliable source.
I fail to see how registering some famous person name who is not related to your company is even possible. We are not talking about someone who has been dead for so long there are not any living relatives, Steve Jobs died a few years ago. So now any company in the world will have to register all its famous members names, lest someone register it first? Ridiculous.
And for the record, I strongly dislike Apple, and I'm European myself, but I think in this case they were right.
Storing small integers is exactly as efficient on 32-bit systems as 64-bit systems, asuming you declare your structs properly so the compiler doesn't add unnecesary padding.
Do you know what is really stupid? Not asking the user to confirm the password. Who of us has never mistyped a password, only to find they couldn't login later?
Come on, it's not that difficult to understand it. A researcher in New Zealand may have to pay to access a paper written by an US researcher, who in turn will have to pay to read a paper written be someone in Germany, who will have to pay to... do you get the idea?
The writer talks about NZ because that's where he works, but the same happens in every country around the world. In the end, every university in every country is wasting taxpayer money to benefit a few corporations.
The EU too? I didn't heard anything about it, if it's true, as an European citizen I'm very interested about it.
Anyway, I have been using Kaspersky for years, and I just installed it on my uncle's computer...
The millenials were born between the early 80's and the late 90's, so many of us already played the SNES and the Megadrive back when they were the hottest thing on the streets.

The Linux Steam client is 32 bit too. In fact, I think it's the only 32 bit program I have installed.
No, they haven't, any other site supports Unicode.

We are talking about teenagers, they seek popularity and social approval as part of their growing up process, just as we did when we were their age.

More like the country of Tabarnia /troll-mode-off
(or if we go back several centuries, the county of Barcelona)

You know, it would be awesome if Slashdot would be updated to support Unicode like almost any other fucking website out there.

Erlang syntax derives from Prolog. Other than that, they don't have much in common.

No wormhole? I'm dissapointed.
Yeah, that's why Steam supports Linux, as we all know Valve is a tiny company made of losers...
We can wait forever, it seems Blizzard doesn't have any interest in supporting Linux :(
Give it to them, but don't punish their relatives, they are not at fault.
If I'm not mistaken, the Scorpio will have a Ryzen CPU and a Vega GPU.
