At the extreme, a program could have a single lock that protects all memory that is reachable from more than one thread. This design would work quite well for the request-processing example if a thread can process a request without needing to access shared data. If processing a request requi...
but quantum computers haven’t suddenly turned into computing colossi that will leave conventional machines trailing in the dust. Nor will they be laying waste to conventional cryptography in the near future—though in the longer term, they could pose a threat we need to start preparing for now...

but it was always a nice sneakyred teamway to persist that few people (including malware authors, it seems!) were aware of, but no longer. Likeemondbefore it, Apple is slowly whittling out these arcane bits of code that are of little relevance now but could still be abused by threat...

(2004), features a future where robots serve humanity, a detective suspects a robot of murder, and there is widespread exploitation, robot servitude, disregard for their assumed autonomy or emerging self-awareness. Could repeated abuse of human-like machines lead to desensitization and more cruelty...
APIs really took off, however, once data networking and, later, transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) and the internet arrived and became ubiquitous. Universal any-to-any connectivity meant that any network-connected machine could contact any other machine. Today, this inclu...
However, you will still be able to play games on your Chromebook, but you’ll be limited to thetitles available in the Chrome Web Store. Casual games like Arcane Legends, and Polycraft are available right now, but due to the specification limitations, you won’t have access to the game ...
in the process, he figured out how cryptography could produce an electronic version of the dollar bill. in order to appreciate this, you have to consider the apparent obstacles to such a task. the most immediate concern of anyone attempting to produce a digital form of currency is copying. ...
She learned much from the master engineers among her people, but theirs were simple meals that could not sate her hunger. Ceara decided to strike out into the world to find something that could. Her first stop was the smiths of Hoelbrak: if she wanted to make machines, she needed to unde...
