How is uboot fundamentally different than BIOS or UEFI/EFI? It's not like all the PC clones through the ages had the same bootup sequence for RAM and peripheral init.

That's because Microsoft is trash. Typing this from an SP3, which I overall like very much. I was given this, so I have no misgivings. But the overall sloppiness of Windows and the years of varying quirky behavior I've…
The difference is they are demonstrating fantasies or idealizations that much of their customer base have or aspire to themselves. Truck commercials are made that way with a large part of their customer base keenly in…

No. Ironically, you're probably not old enough. AIM predated any meaningful adoption of SMS in the US by a long time. In the 90s, I was one of the youngest to carry a cell phone (13) -- I wasn't rich either, just a…
I'm not quite sure I believe that a lot of people use the X primitives. The alternative to Gtk and Qt is most often not raw Xlib. There are alternative toolkits such as Motif, Xt. And then graphics abstractions such as…
Imagine if the creator of the ideal windowing system wasn't aborted in the 1960s.
I'm going to give the article a pass on this. They explain the genesis of the Snapchat dot codes. They don't explicitly say that the FB and snapchat codes are based on QR, they do genericize the term QR a bit, but that…

Why this happens has been explained, but more generally what you posted really doesn't prove anything at hand really. The dictionary created from scratch could be made an updateable view by hooking __setitem__. If you…
