  1. That was an obvious sarcasm from him :-)

  2. About queuing in JS: it's not like any other language have ability to spawn a new Thread so you wouldn't have to wait until previous command will finish it's job ;-)

  5. Instructions unclear: I now have a DARPA's robot in my basement!

  6. True!

  7. "and there wasn't any way of emulating the PS3, or Xbox360 yet" - so what about RPCS3 and Xenia?

  8.  @pierrefley5000  Fair point!

  9. Hackers would always be a thing. If you know what I mean ;-)

  10. Of course you will be! Not everyone have to write compilers and drivers in C :-)

  12. It will be created and be accessible in Darknet ;-) How could I know that? Because there are a lot of people that want that to happen xD

  13. Depends on a job :-)

  14. :-)

  15. We can't ;-)

  16. After watching this video, I understand now what "it casts shadow in the Warp" means in Warhammer 40 000 universe. Thanks ))) We have 4 dimensional object. 3 dimensions representing X, Y, and Z values in 3D space. Fourth value represents "shift". In our observable Universe it will be "time".

  17. For Desktop Browsers there is Adblock Plus.

  18. "What if MS-DOS was still alive and Open Source?" Like FreeDOS, right? ;-)

  19. What adverts? - An "Adblock Plus" user

  20. Java is compiled to bytecode than JIT'ed. JavaScript is interpreted and then JIT'ed Python is just interpreted. It can be JIT'ed using PyPy.
    2
  21. Time. That will need MUCH more that 16 ms :-)
    2
  22. It does!
    2
  23. Of course not! :-) Any program can create a few threads. If you have multithreaded CPU it will handle it faster.

  25. In some situations it is. In others - not (if you write a more smart code).

  26. "A JIT executable is not machine code, and it’s not the original script. But it’s been converted to a more optimized code that can be interpreted much faster then traditional" - That's .NET ;-) C# compiles to IL (optimized or not - how you want). Then IL would be JIT'ed at runtime and be optimized even more!

  27.  @bltzcstrnx  And why would corporations to be interested in Open Sourcing it? To give away their advantage for free?
    1
  28.  @bltzcstrnx  100% agree that Internet is one of the biggest inventions! About AI - I think some AI would be Open Sourced, others would be not. There will be even some unrestricted ones, that could do whatever you would ask them to do (some AI on in Darkweb, doing any shady things to make money for their developers). Scary things but very "Cyberpunk" ;-)

  30. True. That's why you shall use Tails OS :-)

  31. Google also uses it and don't have those problems ;-)

  32. Random comment is... random! I see.

  33. This video is from March 3

  34. True. But the process of JIT'ing takes a lot of resources. So JIT is more useful on older CPUs but also "warm up" time is longer.
    1
  35. Only Apple thinks so :-) Swift is a go-to language for Apple products only.
    1
  36. And change it for what? Socialism?
    1
  37. Maybe in Ruby JIT compiler is just bad? So that's not the problem with language itself (most likely).
    1
  38. True.
    1
  39. Thanks!

  40. COBOL and Fortran are efficient too. Most likely it's so popular because of Unix.

  41. TOR uses only 3 layers by default. If you would use 200 layers - delays would be HUUUUGE! Like a minute long delays.
    1
  42. Yep!

  43. Anyone could :-)

  46. Fun fact: humans can't drown in their own blood because they would die from a blood loss much faster than they would drown! ;-)
    1
  47. Yep! ;-)

  48. Not JIT, but some runtime optimizations, as far as I know. PyPy is still WAY faster ;-)
    1
  49. Agree But change to what? Socialism?

  50. In future we could transfer information faster than light :-) There is one little interesting thing - quantum entanglement. Google it.
    1
  51. Nope. It's still in use.

  52. If your program just do one thing and terminates - static compiler ALWAYS would be faster. But if your program is more like a microservice or a game - JIT may make it pretty fast and even faster than static (but NOT faster than static compilation with PGO).

  53. There is a way to make a DNS server from a Raspberry Pi. So yes - it's not that much CPU work :-)

  54. Watch video untill the end :-)

  55. Not :-)

  56. We were scared of steam machines. Then of cars, then of TV, then of Internet, then of smartphones... And we are still alive, because we can adapt.

  57. Random information: C# is not dynamically types by default but you could use type "dynamic" and write something like this: dynamic a = 5; a = "five";
    1
  58. We can't. You may try to protest - the gov would just create a "investigating group" and do nothing. Big money talks ;-) But they are not idiots - they wouldn't give a faulty AI ability to start a nuclear war xD

  59. Visual Code.

  60. March 3

  61. Well... Today prices are bigger. But there are pretty well paid jobs too ;-)
    1
  62.  @StephenGillie  Is it well paid? If no - learn something new and try another job ;-) Life is a constant improving, constant moving forward! (actually, I have to remember that too xD)

  63. He mean that any language could be interpreted, compiled or JIT'ed. To make Python compiled instead of interpreted, you should compile it to binary. You couldn't just keep using *.py source files anymore ;-) To do that use Cython to generate a C source file and then compile it using any C compiler. The easiest way to do that is using Nuitka
    1
  64.  @sainansama  In source code or as user input? I thing - second. So, basically, make a program which could do things like: eval(2 + 2) // that's easy! or eval(new String("I like number 2")) // That's harder but C# could generate code in runtime so I think it's not that impossible But your program would be like an interpreter itself ;-)

  65.  @sainansama  Fair point!

  66. Oversimplification.

  69. Can I work as a discriminator? I have a gun! I mean... a GAN :-)

  70. I think it's static in a way - only developers could actually train it.
    1
  71.  @sergio3674  Agree
    1
  72. You really are :-)

  73. AI model was trained on data not newer than 2021
    1
  74. I know about "ABBYY FineReader PDF" which is not Open Source nor free. Maybe there are others
    1
  75. Google "CPU small techprocess" and you will hear about quantum tunneling. Yep! That's the problem why that will not work :-)

  76. 200 layers would be VERY SLOW. You will wait minutes after every click.
    1
  77. And Julia ;-)

  78. Don't forget to Steve.free() :-)

  79. Maybe task is not intensive enough?
    1
  80.  @hoagy_ytfc  Agree! Maybe drivers are still bad for little/big cores.

  81. Microsoft likes to control - not to let someone/something to express themselves

  82. "I use mine as an add blocker by resolving domain that host advertising to 127.0.0.1 . - "Same (but for blocking unwanted autoupdates) For Windows it's "%windir%\System32\drivers\etc" and you will have to open "hosts"
    1
  83.  @vishesh0512  True but as a developer you know what is expected to be there ;-) Name would be a string and age would be an integer. If it's not - there is a problem already, no matter is your types dynamic or not. In most cases xD

  84. Every technology has a weakness.

  85. Beat it ;-)

  86. And big money ;-)

  87. But how much time those small team needed to create their first working version? ;-)

  88. There will be an input lag if you don't live in the sane city with supercomputer.
