  18. WTF? on Open Source Self-Healing Software For Virtual Machines · · Score: 2

    The author seems completely non-technical. He probably wants to explain things simple to people, but such article is worthless as it says basically nothing but bullshit.

    What exactly is stackable debuggers? There are experimental projects detecting malware from outside of VM, but information from that couldn't be too high-level (probably involves re-assembling memory pages and monitoring of key kernel-space tables/code) or stretched into pure user-space attack like Shellshock. I doubt it could be low-cost enough to monitor real-world applications.

    It fails to clarify several key things:

    - What exactly is "operation that is not correct"? How do they identify it?
    - "stop the virus"? What's the "virus" sending rm -fr / via Shellshock? bash itself?
    - Approximate a repair for the damaged...? What's the damage in bash to allow remote command?

    Unless they probe the contents sent/received via HTTP, looking for pattern of shell commands. But that'd be too cheap!

  19. Re: We all dance in the streets on Visual Studio 2015 Supports CLANG and Android (Emulator Included) · · Score: 1

    No they don't, not for C#. It's nearly exclusively provided by plugins such as resharper.

    VS actually has some of analysis for C++ now as evident by inclusion of semantic highlighting recently, ahead of their C# support. Perhaps C# isn't their #1 language anymore. But C#/VB.NET with Resharper still beats everything else - they even marked nullability/non-nullability of most parts of .NET Framework API, something that Java guys could have done years ago but never did, and thanks to (lack of) that, their nullability analysis although implemented well is practically useless.

    Analysis for C++ code must be much more difficult, however, due to massive use of and the infinite flexibility of C macros. I didn't expect that kind of tool even coming to C/C++.

  20. Re:We all dance in the streets on Visual Studio 2015 Supports CLANG and Android (Emulator Included) · · Score: 1

    That's NOT enough.

    IntelliJ/Resharper/NetBeans/Eclipse do much more, though none of them are for C++. They actually check the logic/flow of data inside a function (not spanning across the boundary yet) and also guess/test nullability of local variables and method arguments.

    And they do that in real-time, while you're editing code. Eclipse utilizes their IDE-integrated incremental compiler while IntelliJ/Resharper has their own analyzer which can do relatively well even with broken syntax (missing/extra braces). Resharper's code validation is especially critical on XAML, without which you wouldn't have any idea whether your data-binding paths are wrongly-typed and targeted to wrong types, and there is no way to debug that.

  21. Are they now offering frameworks on top of Android and iOS?

  22. Re:A highly relevant comment from the previous pos on Ubisoft Points Finger At AMD For Assassin's Creed Unity Poor Performance · · Score: 1

    On laptops, where? I don't seen them on Clevo (high, mid, thin models), Dell Alienware or MSI gaming laptops, or any ultrabooks. Not since last year. They were there, but not anymore.

    AMD A10 manufacturing still uses 28 nm while the rest of Intel CPUs have 22 nm and going to change to 14 nm next year.

    The performance/power from their best CPU, A10-7850K is 6.92 pt/W, compared to i7 i4770K's 12.9 pt/W on cpuboss. And their single-core performance couldn't even match i5.

    On GPU side they offered better cost/power/performance until nVIDIA puts Maxwell into new laptops this year and desktops next year. They currently don't have anything to match 860M/970M/980M on mobile or 750/970/980 on desktop, and no plan of next generation GPUs we can see so far. NO PLAN.

    For most tasks it stays close to idle and uses almost no power.

    You do realize that's just fine-grained throttling? When I mean double performance/power, I mean it could run at full speed while generating 50% of heat and consuming 50% of power compared to previous generations. That's critical to laptops and small form computers unless you just want a fancy cripple which have great specs but overheat and die whenever you do real work.

  23. Re:A highly relevant comment from the previous pos on Ubisoft Points Finger At AMD For Assassin's Creed Unity Poor Performance · · Score: 1

    nVIDIA doesn't provide SMAA. SMAA and FXAA implementations are freely available to developers and might be injected into some of existing games from outside. They're basically extremely low-cost approximation to real AA and good enough for many applications.

    The blame nVIDIA doesn't make sense. Since AMD has stopped evolving their CPU and GPU for some time (several years on CPU and at least 2 years on GPU). They have nothing even to remotely match the Maxwell chips for its high-performance/low-power-consumption ratio. All they have now are very old designs, combining more cores and requiring several times of power.

    That's why you don't see AMD chips on laptop anymore. Soon they'll be out of PC market too.

  24. Re:Too little, too late on Microsoft To Open Source .NET and Take It Cross-Platform · · Score: 1

    WinForm is stone-aged junk, even worse than GTK, QT and Swing. Even M$ doesn't use it anymore as all recent products ranging from Visual Studio to Office migrated to WPF.

    Mono needs WPF, its renderer, template engine and data-binding mechanism which don't have direct alternative on the open-source side (JavaFX has only partial functionality and quite immature, lacks even dialog until next version). However, It probably wouldn't mean anything to M$, since all benefits WPF provides are exclusive to the developers, not the users.
