it was a lot simpler in capabilities. much of the complexity is because of feature creep.
How much did the engineering time to make this optimization cost?
Just looked and I'm not seeing ANY 55" 8k around right now. All the ones I'm seeing now are 65" at the smallest, and that seems way too big. I've found a 43" 4k is about the right pixel size for me; a 49" 4k was too big…
Part of it is that by 1986, CP/M was dead for new development of anything, and Modula-2 was also on fumes. It would have been business malpractice to spend money on CP/M products at that point.
1998 was a bit early, but I could easily have imagined it any time after 2000. I'm frankly surprised it has taken this long.
Cool! Windows please. Someone. Anyone.
The Selectric keyboard touch and feel was vastly superior to the best mechanical keyboard you can get today. Truly fabulous. I really wish there had been a terminal or keyboard based on that. I like my UNICOMP clacky,…
A better argument than imputed carbon offset is the oil depletion allowance, which is a pretty explicit subsidy for extraction industries.
Could either of them apply topspin or return it?
A reasonable career trajectory is something like doubling the time at each place until you hit the 8-10 year mark, modulo uncontrollable events, like a place shutting down. When you have someone who's been repeatedly…
I've read the report several times (it keeps coming back every 5-7 years or so) since publication, and I've never felt like a reliable solution had wither been found, or was in the offing. There is good thinking, but…
Not many of those have professional careers in STEM, law or medicine, the "highly qualified" potential immigrants in question.
I think the article and much of the discussion misses a larger point -- time is hard, and very very hard when there are multiple systems with different clocks. The APIs are the way they are because there just aren't…
73.6% of statistics are made up. I had to look that up: http://www.businessinsider.com/736-of-all-statistics-are-mad...
Awful. Instead of throttling Netflix at the backbone level, they'll do it in the local loop. A single, neutral regime is the only viable one that doesn't mess things up. The trick is how to NOT turn title II into a…
The generalized form of this would take arbitrary cleanup actions, not just file deletions, and would look a lot like atexit(); In fact, one could put a SIGABORT handler in that would (a) deregister itself and (b) call…
ASN.1/BER is a pain in the ass. I'd rather gzip json. Or poke chopsticks in my eyes. (creds: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1697)
Common CRT capability is also how we got the 320x240 (bad TVs) and 640x480 (better TVs) resolutions.
Boo hoo. If that's what it takes to perform, then it should be done. Ingres had it in the 90's. A win for OLTP, sometimes a lose for DSS queries with scans.
Thanks, I appreciate the answer, and am trying to be more informed. On transaction count, I think "we" /may/ care about transaction count, if the majority of transactions are shams or gaming the trading system. To the…
Jeez, it would be nice if someone, somewhere, would define GAME_JAM for those of us out of that bubble.
Go ahead and poke the beast. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone who knows more about the rot-gut work of displaying 3d spaces in realtime on cheap hardware.
"It seems they often assert controversial opinions as accepted truth." This would be my main content complaint as well. But what I really find objectionable is the non-student subscription price, > $200 for a renewal.
I take this as an overgeneralization from the bugs the original author runs into most often, which may be domain specific -- overflow in signal processing being endemic to the problem. In many other cases, one of the…
