Go is very nice and should be considered. It is a very terse, non-expressive language much like C is, but it was born with concurrency in mind and produces fast, small binaries. The problem is that is not available on such a wide number of architectures as C is.
JavaScript is just too abstracted from hardware to be an efficient IoT language, IMHO. It is impossible to fine-tune memory management, implement threading or properly access I/O.
Agreed on all items. Another big selling point for C is that your code will likely run on all computer architectures out there with minimum modifications, and it is pretty much guaranteed to do so if you plan in advance about things like endianness.
The nice thing about C is that is as close to portable assembler as a language can get. It forces you to understand how computers and OSs work in order to become proficient, and in time your code will become better because of it - even when using other languages.
Of course, the ugly thing about C is that is as close to portable assembler as a language can get.
It had a number of options where you could set up the number of global connections and per page. And yes, it was useful during the early days of dialup.
But anyway, most of the web sucks in this regard. Period. Sites are horribly designed these days - a gazillion JS dependencies, unnecessarily large images which get scaled, zero concern for mobile devices, etc.
Gotta think outside of the "one person" scenario and think of how the exploit could be scaled up by a more devious company.
Sorry, but that's a problem for nVidia, not me. If you sell me a product you cannot expect me to do whatever the hell i please with it - including reselling it.
They didn't actually "give" you anything. Welcome to the joys of the era of clouds and downloadable content, where convenience matters more than the first sale doctrine.
From what i gathered from the obscurely worded article, it seems that they tried to restore data from their staging server after their five backup systems failed. Staging servers require production-like data so it is common to keep them somehow synchronized with prod data (a database copy, for example), but it is kinda sad that's the only thing they had left by then.
It's a server (or set of servers) where you stage a new release of your site/software before an actual production release - it provides an environment as similar to prod as possible, and the idea is to help test test your release before unleashing it to the world.
"Carefree"? Jesus. Not on the US anymore it seems, but in the rest of the civilized world the chances of being denied access to a country with a valid resident visa are the same chances of being hit by lightning. In a submarine.
I honestly can't believe you're arguing this visa cancellations are normal, nor that travelling "is risky".
However, the simple fact is that as a non-citizen, travel is and always has been risky.
Sorry, that's bullshit. I've been (and am) an immigrant on a number of countries and never had any issues travelling, nor worried about being unable to return.
Don't be dense. Of course visas and permits can be revoked; the entire issue here is that it happened without any justifiable reason. "Hey, it can happen" is a poor argument.
You forgot the words "bigoted", "misogynist", and "Hitler".
Laugh it up, but Trump just ordered a weekly publication of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Hitler did the same back in the 40's. Google up "The Criminal Jew".

Ahh, the Presto days. I wish they opensource that engine someday...
A shitload of sites simply stop working if you disable JS. We're long past the days of content + presentation.

I honestly wonder who they expect to buy/use this.
Only because people don't quite give a shit. I'm pretty sure someone could file a successful lawsuit out of this.

"GFE's hardware check is based only on the wider product range, and not on a specific serial number."
You guys are magnanimous.

Yeah. I think i'll stay stupid on this matter.
I'd say "slow news days" but it's not like nothing is happening in the world right now.

WTF are you talking about? I am an immigrant and travel quite often, both for business and leisure.
Lovely. Not a week in and this is already somehow fault of Obama.

Bush (either of them) is Winston Churchill compared to Trump.
