Absolutely reasonable if your windows box is used for mundane web browsing / programming and the occasional video, but that doesn't fly for a gaming machine; some games will exhibit bad performance or will plain crash with old drivers that don't incorporate the regular fixes/workarounds added by nvidia (and amd does it too).

There's a youtube video I fail to find where a nvidia driver engineer explains how many games are terribly broken, failing to respect OpenGL/DirectX basics. Drivers hand-patch that, just like Microsoft hand-patch Windows for specific games "because compatibility" [1].

Ultimately, the major role of government is to provide structure and order. Sometimes, that means coaxing the marginal elements, relative to your societal norms, to conform. This exists
in every society, and IT/IS and globalization simply have made the means much more effective.
Wouldn't some form of a blockchain be a great way to run an election? (I know, I can dream, right??)
So would it hurt them in some way if they would ask first?
Odd, I always bought AMD and only ever had issues if I overclocked them. The one time I have an Nvidia card, all I have is issues with drivers, both on Windows and Linux. The only thing that impresses me that Nvidia has done is the Nvidia Shield Tablet, and they made it less impressive with their K1 rendition of it. There's also the Nintendo Switch but it's yet to be determined if Nintendo is doing something amazing with it, or losing out on another big opportunity. Nvidia does not impress me. I've had AMD for years, and have had a solid investment every time. Of course this is my experience, other people's may vary. My main complaint against AMD is Linux drivers either exist, or they don't, they either work, or they don't. With Nvidia it's the same, some people / distros keep a specific driver version because Nvidia breaks a previous one with their 'fixes'.
Sadly, not necessarily in any meaningful way. I am working my local precinct. We verify that the count on the machines matches the count in the book at the end of the day, but we have no way to know if the machine flipped votes at all. The machines have a paper receipt, but it is sealed without ever being looked at. Presumably in a contested election they would look at the paper, but there is absolutely no way for an interested party to audit the paper record after the fact to check the machine counts. The legislature declared the paper is to remain sealed and then incinerated after the election is certified.

Well, from a programmer's perspective, a restaurant worker or craftsman has a job that does not scale at all. That's probably what he's referring to.
You can buy the vest type2 deck for maybe $400 a year. If you want a level playing field, you can have it... Not free but neither are most addictions.
Sure, you get the freedom to say and think whatever you want, about whoever you want. So do I.

So go ahead, by all means, have whatever views you want. Espouse whatever views you want.

I don't really care, because I don't know you and will never, ever need to work with you, do business with you, invite you to my wedding or holiday dinner, whatever.

All that said, dog whistle politics is a real thing, even if you or other people here don't know about it. And not knowing about the specific cues just means you're not part of the group that'll respond to that dog whistle.
The bar being set was to "have fun with it," not "to finish top 8 in sanctioned tournaments..."
You're absolutely right, HOWEVER, I would call that the exception rather than the rule, as IIRC it was largely due to AMD supporting some operators in a more native/optimized form than Nvidia did at the time, than any sort of true general purpose superiority. Given how quickly mining moved to ASICS I wouldn't use that as an advocation that they're (ASICS) superior to Nvidia for GPGPU functionality. (Special-purpose specially-designed, no doubt, but that's not really "General")

Edit: read a sister post later article on the breakdown of the perf differences, and it seems to slightly affirm what I'm saying (re: bitcoin aligning with a functionality AMD performed very strongly in), although I'll admit to have only skimmed it.

I will say though, even despite this, it doesn't address the known heat/power issues even the "heyday" amd cards seemed to suffer from and that were still present when I was comparing them while looking at a 1070 recently.

EDIT: since I can't edit my original post any more, I'd note here that I didn't intend to turn this into a NVIDIA/AMD debate, even if we ignore that for a moment and consider it a duopoly situation instead of monoply, I'd ask readers to consider my core point in that light.
Because they are not suitable for many of the tricks used in high-productivity environments. Traditional craftsmen cannot be automated, else they not be traditional craftsmen. Restaurants cannot enjoy the same economies of scale and still provide the same personalized service out of a tiny shop across from a train station.

By another metric, they are low-productivity in that the require many man hours of labor per unit. One can make a carpenter more efficient, but one cannot get away from the need of a person spending hours inside someone's house nailing things together. He;ll never be as productive as an Ikea factory worker churning out flat-pack tables inside a megafactory.
NVIDIA could release documentation on their hardware that would make it easier for Nouveau developers to do their work, but they don't. Nobody is asking for free labor on a low-marketshare OS.
Benchmarking Raspberry Pi GPIO Speed
I've been playing since Ice Age, and my first competitive deck was Enchantress combo, so I totally feel you regarding mourning the relative power decrease of combo (and hard control) as archetypes. But you do spell out the exact reasoning for this, and I'm inclined to agree with Wizard's decision making here. I play mostly Modern and Legacy nowadays, in part because I prefer the older, more complex interaction heavy style of Magic, but even as an old hand I can appreciate how frustrating it is to lose to a hard control lock or a combo with which you have no way to interact. By allowing players to choose that play style, the game designers are basically saying, it's okay if there are (possibly a lot of) games of Magic in which one party has zero fun. Which is fine for some players, and you can still get that experience by playing older formats, but you have to agree that this is an unsaleable philosophy for a modern, mass-market game produced by a public company.
It has been over 15 years since I've heard the term "superfund", and only then because I had a school assignment to debate over the pros and cons.

Is there actually no news about superfund sites or have I been accidentally not paying attention to a profound degree for over a decade and a half?

The carbon fiber and resin are the shell (AKA a straight jacket) over usually a thin titanium vessel.

Carbon fiber alone won't be enough to keep liquid helium at least from precipitating through it, the darn thing can leak through solid glass when it's cold enough.

Not sure about liquid oxygen, but still there is no carbon fiber on the inside of the tank, if nothing else than to ensure that no particulate matter ever gets into the fuel system.

AMD are already doing sneaky things with their driver autoupdate on Windows, they put the checkbox below the "upgrade" button, prechecked and with a large spacing so it is likely you don't see it immediately and click "upgrade" before you realize it, and they also present the checkbox at least twice, rechecking it if you unchecked it previously. So I fear that after that move by Nvidia they'll feel empowered to push more things on the user.

I'm worried about the semiconductor industry in general as well, there is a lot of concentration currently all over the place, not sure where it's going to stop, and at some degree competition is going to become less fierce, you don't need to get to a monopoly but an oligopoly is likely and will lead to tacit agreement on market separation and price fixing as in the telecom industry.
Sonar, or SonarQube as it's called now, does need more initial config than findbugs. To get a liveable configuration anyway.

Bullshit! Socialism is not inherently against transparency nor accountability. There have been some crappy socialistic governments, but there have also been some of the better ones, like the ones here in Scandinavia.
I mean, not really. Lisp isn't "wacky" even if all you know is Java; it's just different. JavaScript is wacky coming from anywhere because there's lots of seemingly illogical or confusing behavior baked into it by design.
Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough, but I’m surprised this and the forced login for GeForce Experience didn’t make a bigger wave amongst gamers, who’ve historically been very vocal about questionable decisions that provide far more value to the business than to the gamers.
Actually, students are often forced to live on campus.
The same is probably true for any other game. I don't think there are any where the input goes to some hidden text field or something like that.

That extension should have an option for disabling shortcuts for the current tab.
Static analysis is not about fixing the "inherent flaws in Java." Findbugs does help mitigate issues from language design, but most things that it does would be silly to try to figure out a way to bake into the language itself.

If the DB vendor is supplying and supporting the images, then that's a different story, of course. The devil is in the details, and the presence of Docker support shouldn't be interpreted to suggest that other aspects of database administration shouldn't be followed.

At any rate, at least MySQL and its Percona variant have native packages for modern mainstream Linux distributions , so as a practical matter you shouldn't need to run them in a container: they've already worked out the dependencies for you. This means you don't need to bother with the overhead of Docker.
I discovered this as a trick when I was a teenager. I realized that when the guy ahead of me in Math class asked me to explain something, even if I wasn't sure my ego kicked in and my brain automatically went in overdrive to try and help him solve the problem, or perform an explanation.

I actually now use this trick: when I am blocked on a hard problem, or I find myself losing motivation, I imagine someone I would want to impress asking me the exact question, and spend 10s visualizing the scenario. It works!
Netrunner is very interactive.
Some people are smitten with the idea of purely proportional representation, so that "all voices" are heard.
I love to solve other people's problems! You can only gain:

- If you succeed, they will be thankful.

- If you fail, well, it's not your problem.

Also, you can let them do the obvious/boring stuff, like bureaucracy.
As a workaround, you can download v2 (and prevent the updates). I think the games data(base) used is the same, so you can obtain the same acceleration, without the hassles of v3.

Ask HN: Dad is 60yo, lost job, needs 2 more years, what to do?
My dad and the entire department he works in got fired. He's 60yo, a test manager and still needs to work for 2 more years before he has enough money to be able to retire. He lives in Switzerland. He's been looking for a job for the past 1-2 months but only gets rejections.

Please help? Sorry if this is the wrong site for things like these but I was hoping someone would have a good idea on what to do. Temp work? Remote work? Leave IT and try something entirely different?

Thank you for your comments.
I guess it depends on the language, or possibly the setup, the python projects I've been part of using SonarQube its reports were worthless busywork (e.g. requirements of docstrings to every method, resolved by adding """ fuck off sonar """ everywhere).
The comment I replied to was not so much a perspective as a 'feel good' comment, because it was mainly rhetorics instead of actual knowledge and insight.
> its generally a very bad idea to automatically update your production software without running it through your own localized battery of tests

To me, this begs the question: How do we enable clients to react quickly to releases?

The most easily available solution would seem to be webhooks. It's standard practice for them to be used to trigger things internally, but is it time to turn them outwards?

Side note: It's always seemed a bit of a waste to me that sites like Github will only allow the owner of a repository to create web hooks. My personal use-case for that is automating Docker builds of various projects, but I'm sure others exist.
I am looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong, I think the stuff you did there is impressive and I can't imaging where it gets when you have a proper source code with people contributing.

I would start with putting header guards in the files and remove the f_xxxx_ from your file (e.g. advanced-renamer can do that for you). Another suggestion would be to put everything the .exe needs into the "bin"-folder, currently your .exe loads some shader from your "src"-folder (or I did something wrong). I would also make a "third-party" folder in "src" and put all third-party stuff in there (also the LodePNG, zlib and bullet stuff in your main.cpp).

It is called workfare, as opposed to welfare. I think we should be doing this now.

In the past people had to do things like dig ditches or build the hoover dam. Today it doesn't have to be physical labor. People can do work on a computer. If you are an out of work project manager you can do project management on the computer from your house. These people would in fact be managing work from the program itself. If you are really unqualified to do anything, worst case you can watch movies and then rate them. There is always more work to do.
Okay, then they will clean and maintain the robots. Those were just simple examples.

The government doesn't create wealth or prosperity and even if robots replaced the majority of jobs, the money to run and maintain the robots would have to come from somewhere.

Billionaires like Musk love the idea of basic income because it puts him in charge (he will never have to get basic income) and makes slaves out of the rest of us (if your only income comes from the government, they get to make most of your life decisions for you).

It's really just communism re-packaged when you think about it. A system where there are really only a couple of people with all of the power (IE: Musk) and they get to set all of the rules for the rest of us.

Many people from the communism days of Soviet Russia loved their life because they didn't actually have to worry about where their next dollar came from and jobs were assigned automatically.
Suppose everything you say is true, and every single supporter of epistocracy is racist. It does not follow that epistocracy is bad. Consider the possibility that epistocracy is racist but it also produces better governance - e.g., perhaps the racial groups being discriminated against vote for bad governance.

(Define "bad" however you like, but strictly in terms of actions taken by the government rather than how those actions were decided on.)

If that were true then the racist epistocracy you discuss would be a good thing, in the sense that governments would provide better services to citizens.

The main argument against this is that voting rights are a way to express respect, membership and status to humans. But the solution to this conundrum is to stop using voting rights as a status symbol.

Here's a nice article that discusses this idea in much greater detail: http://bleedingheartlibertarians.com/2016/09/expressive-mean...
> However, over time, it turned into every single card that would be a great high priced single turns into a mythic rare.

That's just a blatant exaggeration. They do a pretty good job of ensuring that not all the mythics are chase/staple cards in most sets. And there are still plenty of weird/garbage cards in the mythic slot that you definitely don't want in limited.

That said I agree that it was mostly a financial decision, but I can't really fault Wizards for making it. Other successful card games have had more than three rarity tiers for years - Magic just gets additional pushback because it's so old that a segment of the player population has unrealistic/unfair expectations of stability, as if their sentimental attachment to the way things are should outweigh Wizards/Hasbro's financial imperatives.
Then what's the point? What value does that add besides wasting the voter and the vote counter's time?
Likewise. I originally downloaded GeForce experience when I was installing my drivers. When I noticed login was required I uninstalled and downloaded the drivers manually.

I disagree. I've played MtG three times in my life: back in 1997, in 2004, and in 2016. I'm currently in a sealed league at work, and we're finding that Kaladesh is pretty rich with organic complexity. In my experience, it requires a lot more mental effort than I remember using a decade ago, and the people I'm playing with have expressed similar sentiments.

The set seems to be particularly sensitive to issues like timing, the order you play cards in, and the little choices you make. The cards don't have obvious drawbacks like Juzam Djinn or Jackal Pups, but they have lots of tradeoffs with the other cards in your deck. Choices like "what do I spend my energy on?" or "how should I fabricate?" or "do I hold on to the Cataclysmic Gearhulk to try and get more card advantage?" So many cards in the set force you to make little choices that add up to quite a bit of mental work.

That said, I'm only playing a sealed league so I know nothing about the state of the game in other formats.
