Did not realize I had to do full on research before posting on everything? My point if you had read it would be boot.ini allows multi boot in particular cases. I am not sure on the UEFI bits as I do not really multi…
They sorta did then sorta skipped everyone else. The real requirement was that their bootloader was in the first partition. You can install windows to a different drive/folder. It would probably mess with a lot of…
My point is that it is terribly inconsistent. There are basically 4 ways now. You can see the scroll bar. The scroll bar is borderline invisible color wise to the background. Fade in out, some are over the text (which…
Your perspective is not just 'non-us'. The thing is since the early 80s computers can generate huge swaths of data. ML gives you a way to filter that data in a particular way. The same was true of data warehouses, smart…
I know the Verizon one does. It just is not on their pages. The platform they bought from Qualcomm to do it was in that same space as Twilio. Been a few years though they may have ripped it out by this point. 10 cents…
Building fast applications on most platforms is usually possible. But you must play to those platforms strengths. I used to mess with my fellow devs by making toy vb6 apps that worked very quickly (not my favorite…
Oh absolutely. The bubble sort sort thing usually comes down to the architecture of the machine. One of the things the O notation kind of hand waves away. On paper some things are faster. But put in 3 levels of cache, a…
This may get me some anger but I always found Scrooge to be a very sympathetic character. He starts off as a hopeful boy who just wants to spend some time at Christmas with his family and is shipped off to work as it is…
Also do 1 thing at a time. Do not try to do them all at the same time. That is a fast track to nothing being done. Put them in order highest to lowest pick of an 'easy' win. Make it easy for people to want to do the…
The amount of crazy things people did in win3.x was pretty amazing. MS kind of did it to themselves. Want to know what an HWIN looks like? Right there in the header. No functions to access those items. Now you can not…
Like you say it can be done in a compact way. There are some gotchas with memory though. Like you point out RTTI and exceptions. Another one people forget about is the object overhead themselves. That is not zero cost…
One thing to keep in mind with embedded is size. Some projects you do not get to have std lib. It just does not fit. This is less and less of an issue as time goes on. But a few years ago 2k total memory (flash and RAM)…
I would argue that Rust removes a class of bugs. Not because the language is better, but because the compiler just does not allow it. It will not let you build your executable if that type of bug exists. For example you…
