LOL, C++11 has made said made C++ "much simpler, safer and more expressive." That's got to be one of the most bizarre statements I've ever read.
More like template meta-programming has increased the language complexity by several orders of magnitude. At least you could step through pre-templatized C++ and understand control flow. With these template meta-programming, the language is completely and utterly incomprehensible, they've truly made it a "write only" language. Case in point, take a look at Eigen.
No, C++ just needs to die, the standards committee just can't seem to figure out how to simply the language, and please the meta programming language geeks. C++ needs to die and get replaced by something like Go or Rust.
What is all this uproar over 3D printed plastic toys. A 3D printed plastic gun is a complete and total joke, they last for what, 3 or 4 shots, then it breaks. Plus, 3D printers are expensive.
On the other hand, I can can go to Home Depot, and for a few hundred dollars, I can buy all the tools and material I need to build a REAL usable gun, that lasts more that 3-4 shots, and actually has some accuracy. Literally all you need is a cheap drill press, drill bits, files, some steel, piece of pipe, springs, piece of wood and you've got a usable gun. It's not hard, it's not rocket science, and I'd say it's a lot easier than fiddling with an stupid plastic 3D printer. Literally, about the only use I've found for these plastic 3D printers is to print trinkets and bobbles. The plastic is too soft for anything useful.
But give me a piece of steel, and I can build you something useful.
I couldâ(TM)nt care less if a page takes a microsecond longer to load. What I care about is not chewing up all the memory on my machine because of sloppy coding and memory leaks.
Seriously, it's that freaking simple. Just use a different browser when surfing for porn. All you have to do is never sign in with your main user id in the alt browser, just make up an alt id for your porn sites. It's that freaking simple.
I thought those ran on a virtual machine.
Even if NT4, if I remember right, DOS/16 bit apps did not have direct hardware access and ran in some sort of virtual machine enviornmnet.
Does this mean x86 no longer has to support 16 bit mode?
My understanding is that with EFI, the processor never enters real mode, and initializes directly in protected mode.
Let's go muzzle to muzzle against Android and iOS with OpenMoko, yeah, good luck with that.
Openmoku was a joke 10 years ago, don't see why it's any different this time.
What's the point, Android is open source, don't like it, fork and change it.
Instead, they're trying thus again

Seriously, WTF do you need to download and install a fucking THIRD PARTY PROGRAM to do something as ludicrously simple and common as changing window colors, fonts, size, etc...
Windows control panel let you do this is Windows 1.0!!!!
It's absolute madness that you can't change the window color by default. How come Windows figured out how to add a control panel almost 30 years ago, but Gnome still can't include a built-in control panel that lets you change window color. It's an absolute embarrassment that you need a THIRD PARTY program to do something this basic and common.
The 350z is a great car, everyone is saying that it's destined to become a future classic, unlike the 370. The 350 has nice, clean, conservative lines as opposed to the tacky, gaudy 370. Nissan really started hitting the crack coccaine prety hard in their styling dept around 2009.
I'm just hoping Nissan will get over their current styling fugue state and get back to something decent before they roll out the next Z car.
It's an absolute blast to drive, those triple dual throat carburetors just freaking scream, it actually feels alive. Unlike to soulless crap that's sold today that's all larded up with electronics crap.
Say it isn't so, multiple process, constant IPC messages, massive amounts of wasted memory in multiple processes consume more energy. Nahh, really, say it isn't so.
Energy usage is directly related to memory usage: more memory used means more energy required to access it.
We need to get back to writing efficient code again. By that, code that minimized memory and CPU usage, and is not a bloated multi-process pig like Chrome.
This multi-process crap is the biggest pile of crap, it increases complexity by SEVERAL ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, it takes something that used to be a clean elegant design like WebKit and makes it into the multi-process monster that is completely and totally unintelligible to anyone other that a few core devs. It wasted a massive amount of memory, wastes CPU and wastes energy.
Memory usage, not speed is the killer in modern web browsers. People often have many windows open, and each page could suck up a gig of memory, the system rapidly becomes unstable. Let's see some tests about memory and stability with large numbers of open pages.
Where I used to work, we first had normal cubicles. Then management had this brilliant idea to go with open offices, but where everyone sat looking at other people's screens. This was to encourage people to spy and report coworkers.
It was a disaster because no one got work done, constant chatting and distractions.
I do use AdBlock, in fact, I would say that today's internet is literally unusable without AdBlock. Go to a page like cnn or nbcnews without AdBlock and about 500,000 adware, crapware loading scripts are running killing you with this taboola revcontent garbage. Ads have become so incredibly obtrusive that browsing without an adblocker is next to impossible, especially on a tablet with limited memory and processor power.
Huge memory usage brings with it a range of problems. Instead of the browser itself choking on a page (rarely happens), now the entire operating system chokes because the browser gobbles up all the available memory. I have a bad habit of keeping lots of tabs open, and over time, each of them consumes more memory. I've fairly regularly have a 8GB 2015 iMac completely lock up because the browser used up all the available memory.
Its just plain sloppy careless coding. If you're not paying attention to how much memory a systems level component (like browsers are becoming), then you have no business writing systems software.
So, I say, lets have a memory usage shootout, and try it on different operating systems.
All browsers are fast, OK we get it. Now what about the real issue, MEMORY USAGE!!!
Memory consumption is the big problem with modern browsers, how inefficient are they, how much memory do they consume over time, how often do you need to restart them because they consume all the memory on your machines. I don't use Windows, but I can say on OS X, Chrome is probably about the absolute worst with memory usage, it will typically hog about 200-500 MB per freaking web page. Yes, half a freaking gig just for a damned web page, thats utterly ridiculous.
Nitro is cool, you run at crazy high stoichiometric ratios. But it's EXPENSIVE, and nitro engines don't last long. Nitro produces nitric acid as part of combustion, this would rapidly eat away engine components. That's why nitro is pretty much only used in drag racing where an engine only needs to last a few seconds.
For longevity, reliability and power, E85 is a really the best way to go.
Other people with similar setups are putting down almost 700HP at the wheels on E85.
I've detonate numerous engines on pure gas, but I've never grenaded an engine on E85. E85 is the way to safe, reliable horsepower.
What are you talking about, E85 is awesome.
I have a boosted S2000, with an AEM ecu, and ethanol sensor.
On E85, it cranks the stoichiometric ratio up 30%, and it know E85 has about a 115 octane rating. That means I can safely run at 30 lbs of boost, and I've put down over 500hp at the wheels out of a 2 liter engine.
E85 also caries significant amount of heat away, so your heads and valves run much cooler.
This is an extremely poorly written abstract and so completely full of buzzwords.
WebP is a freaking image file format, its that freaking simple. I mean 500 words of bullshit about "technology from Google that allows developers to create smaller, richer images that make the web faster.",
Literally all they had to say was WebP is like JPG except it compresses more. Thats it, no need to say anything else.
We run SUSE SLES 12 with systemd on our 1020 node Cray XE6 and it works just perfectly. What a joke, "veteran unix administrators", it doesn't get much more complex than a 1020 node, 21,824 processor Cray XE6 with Nvidia Tesla on each compute node. Node management and integration with the job scheduler is significantly simpler than older versions. The older system was a mess of shell scripts, perl scripts, and who knows what else, the new system is all streamlined in a simple config file and few modules.
