Played this a bit, and the dynamic is good, there's an excellent mechanic here.

In fact, it's very similar to and old X11 game named "XBattle" I used to play. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/x11/x.org/R5contrib/xbattle-4.0.README

XBattle has many, many parameters you can tune (growth rate of "armies", decay rates, as well as persistent movement on production, etc.) All of these can be combined in different ways to get some really great game variants.
foobar2000 was written by a former Winamp/Nullsoft contractor and the initial version was jokingly called "notepad" to emphasize functionality over skinning.

It's safe to say it has exactly nothing whatsoever to do with Amarok.

I watched the video and it is still completely obvious he was mocking that person's disability. perhaps you've never been mocked before but exaggeration is part of it.
How does the fact that he mocked a disabled person inaccurately absolve him? You've simultaneously said that he did it (and that he does it commonly) and that it's implausible that he did so?
Surprised to see this here :) I'm the author of the PEP, feel free to ask questions.
> In my college, we had regular dorm events and I knew everyone on my floor, and was friends with many.

I'm sure dorms are great if all you want to do is party all the time. However given that people working at Foxconn/Amazon are probably working 8-16 hours every day, I'm doubtful that they'd really be in a partying mood after working that long.

Hence, when everyone is finished working their shift and just wants to sleep, and you don't, it's a bit hard to be social without pissing off people around you.

> Also, I thought warehouses were the trendy places to live now.

You're talking about old warehouses which have been converted into trendy apartments. This is gentrification. No one actually wants to live in a functional warehouse.
While I agree with the rest of the features missing (folders vs. tags, basically), can you name these characters for me?

I would expect that most operating systems can accept most characters. Right, path separators are out, there are binary characters that aren't allowed (but then again - you have a hard time printing those on your CD booklet), so I'm genuinely curious where this falls short.
For me, they required me to send it in (and pay for shipping), then refused to fix it, required me to pay for them to send it back, and when it came back, it was entirely broken (motherboard was snapped in half, before the screen had only a few stuck pixels).

I still bought a few Google devices later on, but I won't let their customer support handle anything ever again. Fuck Google.
Useful feature.

If you want to look in the scientific literature, then you'll want to use : "Tabata", taken from the first author's name that originally discovered and researched this method of exercise.
This term is a generic concept that has to do with the idea that it just doesn't make sense at a very basic level. No need to get into advanced scientific analysis to figure this out, the "physics" of the thing makes no sense without having to do a single calculation.

For example, compare these two options:

Option 1: Take 10 or 20 bus routes. Each being 5 to 10 miles long. Convert all buses to electric power.

Option 2: Take the same routes. Rip-up 200 miles of sidewalk (yeah, they'll be some overlap, this is just a quick mental exercise). Develop new technology. Install 400 miles of it (you need two directions of travel). Staff for installation, support, etc.

The first passes "physics" in that asking "does it make sense given all we know?" test results in a pretty quick "yes!". The second is such an obscene deviation from what would make sense from almost any perspective that it is surprising anyone would consider discussing it at all.

Take, for example, having 400 miles of active sidewalks. You just replaced a few buses with 400 miles of sidewalk moving most of the time. Why would anyone wait if the sidewalk is right there. Whereas before people would wait a few minutes for a ride now you are going to have dozens of miles of expensive power-consuming active sidewalks moving all the time simply to carry a single person 100 meters to then have them cross the street and get on the next active sidewalk. And, if it snows, now you are carrying tons of snow until you devote a small army of trucks to go clean the snow. I mean, the more you think about the reality of this utopic concept the stupider it sounds.

It'd probably make far more sense to have a small fleet of electric scooters available for rent and use only along a predetermined route. If you get off that route they turn off. So now, you'd have small one or two person clean scooters distributed along a 5 to 10 mile route for anyone to hop on and off as needed. At most you might have to walk a block or two to get one. This isn't an idea that I thought through. I'm just pulling it out of a hat to illustrate that the "physics" of this off-the-cuff concept would make far more sense than ripping-up hundreds of miles of sidewalk to install a monster of a system that makes less than zero sense.

The "does it pass physics" test refers to stuff that just doesn't make sense. Like a miracle, or the earth being 6,000 years old, or buying a supercomputer to do basic math or commuting in a Humvee. In other words, there are things that defy reasonable reality to such an extent that they simply don't make sense.
plenty of companies do, they just don't get any press coverage because they don't have a PR budget, or much of a marketing budget at all.

I see the author is attacking people for selling their startups. But I dont think he has considered that, people do have alot of ideas in their head. And when one idea gets traction does that mean you should forget all the other ideas you had and focus rest of your life on the one?

> gcc -O1 -o fft-test fft-test.c fft-portable.c -lm

-O1 instructs the compiler to leave some optimizations on the table. If you want the fastest code the compiler can generate, you want -O2 or -O3.

This is true for clang and gcc.
I prefer to see it as an idealistic definition, albeit one that most people wouldn't tolerate in practice. But as a philosophical point of reference, I think it's useful because it's absolute - other definitions of of free speech depend on a particular framework of law or cultural referents that not everyone agrees on.

And the prize for the worst analogy goes to...

Linux doesn't have anything like foobar2000. Note even close. The feeble attempts to name alternatives in this thread are evidence of it. You need to compose several other tools to get the major functions and you'll still end up with half the functionality (and 10 times the bloat!).

As far as authoritarianism goes, hopefully no-one would seriously claim that France or, say, the UK or US, is a similar living environment in practice to somewhere like various Arab states or Russia. However, it is still worrying that so many legal principles and government powers are being set up in disturbingly similar ways in the West lately, even if the current administrations are only using those powers in a small number of cases. There's definitely an element of the general population who aren't in certain demographic groups assuming that "it will never happen to me" and so condoning official powers or behaviour towards other people that they would never accept if they thought there was a significant chance that they or their own loved ones would be on the receiving end. I don't believe that is healthy for important issues like civil rights and government accountability.

As for the right to be forgotten itself, I personally have no problem with the basic principle that the CJEU seems to have established in the original case, and as it's an EU wide issue, I'm not sure how France's advocacy is any sort of threat to any cross-border provisions that come along with the EU. I don't see why France can or should be able to compel people in other jurisdictions to follow the same rules, absent some proper agreement with the other jurisdiction that those same rules will apply there, though.

Unfortunately, the logical conclusion if everyone sticks to their positions would be that the EU really might start trying to block traffic to and from sites hosted elsewhere that don't respect the same principles when it comes to issues like privacy. If you think about it, it's actually quite remarkable that the Internet has remained as open as it has for so long, but that same openness has also created a kind of lawlessness online that increasingly has negative and sometimes serious consequences in the real world, and sooner or later something has to give. Personally, I hope it won't come to anything as dramatic as a Great Firewall of Europe or the like, but it's a fine line that a large, international organisation like Google is being asked to walk here.

The page doesn't mention compiling code with -O2 or -O3. Does anyone know the reason for this? In particular -O3 is meant to enable vectorisation optimisations, which seems like it might subsume the author's hand optimisations.

Also I believe Intel C Compiler is better at optimising numerical code, so results with that would also be illuminating.
Imzy sounds interesting. The questions is how well the rules are written and enforced. If the rules are just "be nice," then the community may be pleasant, but it will be rife for censorship of any sort of dispute, establishment of "safe spaces," etc.

I've been through reddit, usenet, and the chans, and I'm part of the programming culture (one perhaps more acidic than most), so I do detest censorship. (ie, you can't say that sort of thing/express that sort of opinion here). But that doesn't seem to be where Imzy is coming from. The use of a chan/usenet style most recent system as opposed to reddit-style voting also shows that Imzy seems to have a good understanding of how corrosive "internet points" can be.

Community moderation can be a good thing. HN and 4chan are living proof. And if your criticism is "but my freedom of speech," xkcd.com/1357/ gives the explanation for why that's wrong.

Basically, I think that if Imzy is well-run, it could be a very good site (just like the good parts of reddit). However, if it's poorly run, it will end up as an endless cycle of agreement, with any dissent leading to an immidiate ban. Time will tell.

There are plenty of sites out there for those who wish to express themselves freely. Well-moderated sites are considerably rarer, and we could use another one.

But hey, maybe I'm crazy.
The name seems to come from Latin and courtesy to my native Romanian aka "Slavicized Latin", it should be pronounced: reh-teh, short sounds for both syllables.

Of course, since now it's a loanword in English, you could also just use English rules for pronouncing it (whichever those are :) ).
> So I hope "Python 2.8" gets a cool name, perhaps even some funding from a company who wants to keep their Py2.7 code alive and invigorated, and the community part as friends.

It has already been explained elsewhere in this discussion by other people, I would strongly advise against that. If you for whatever reason have to stay on 2.7, then make sure your new code is 2.7 only (and best if it works with 3 without changes if you decide to change your mind later).

Consider what's more likely in the far future (after PSF will give up on 2.7 support in 2020). That somebody will support 2.7 as it is, or that this guy will support his Python 2.8 hybrid?

Also consider what happens (in the far future) when some library you use will drop Python 2 support. It's not likely it will be easy to run on this Python 2.8 hybrid, either.

And if you for any reason must use Python 3 features in your code base, just bite the bullet and port it.

A few questions:

Is this just vectorization? Because FFT libraries often implement this using either asm or intrinsics.

Why compile with -O1? Why not let the gcc optimize with -O2 or -O3? In recent versions I believe this enables vectorization attempts which could produce similar speedups to your handwritten asm.

I wonder how Bitcoin-based scammers launder their money.

Bitcoin addresses are anonymous, but all transactions are public, right? So while it's hard to find out who's behind an address, it's publicly visible if they spend money, and where it goes. Thus, they're only able to spend it on "trusted" peers to not jeopardize their own anonymosity.

For example, if they buy something from an online shop, this transaction will be visible for all Bitcoin users. And if that shop publicly shows its Bitcoin address, authorities might track down that shop and force it to give away their shipment address.

Or am I missing something?
It's not evident from the short article, but was this a one time payment or monthly allowance? I would imagine that one time or non regular payment would work better than monthly so people don't start to rely on it too much and become lazy.
yes, the style in which he mocked the disabled reporter was completely different and is consistent with what I would observe while growing up in 1970s suburban Long Island (close to where Trump grew up in Queens). Maybe you're just not from New York. The Ted Cruz motions were not at all the same thing.

Not to mention, being a decent human being would mean that even if you do have the same "mockery" routine for everyone, you'd hold off doing it towards someone where your routine clearly is going to be interpreted that way. As we're talking about a site that bans people who don't treat each other decently.

"why does the FBI, NSA, CIA, or any cyber security agency exist? They should not exist.

SECONDLY, why aren't they actively targeting those criminals?"

I think it's important to remember that those agencies shouldn't even exist, before asking why they're not doing something. Don't quietly justify them.

Eh, Hex-Rays eased up on the licensing a lot in the past few years, IIRC, and it's much more tolerable for individuals. These days, from what I understand, as long as you basically email them from your corporate, work email address -- they'll let you purchase a permanent, individual license that way, even with their digital downloads. So you don't need physical shipment or anything like that, they just need to make sure they aren't sending it to a rando email address.

In the past it was a lot more difficult since as an individual they'd want to physically ship you the software on disk, so they'd only send it to offices, trusted addresses, etc which complicated it a lot. I never really had to deal with this since I think their strategies changed a bit by the time I got licenses at my last job.

Of course, just emailing them from your work addr won't totally cut it -- you also have to pony up the few thousand USD to get IDA, and near $10k if you want all the decompiler tools, as well... IDA Pro itself is relatively 'cheap' by itself if you just want disassembly, though, and you actually do it for a job.

Hmm, perhaps the intent is noble (or not, depending on your perspective), but historically products like this have failed in the past (and I am not trying to be needlessly critical, but just provide some feedback and perhaps a warning). "I want to make product X, but with different ethical standards" is not enough of a selling point for most people. It is hard enough to entice people away from a popular platform even when you are adding new, desired features. Happy to be proven wrong here.

As I have said many times before, I have found EVERY form of feedback to be valuable, even the most seemingly poisonous feedback. A simple 3 line response to any of your harshest critics will often turn them in to fans, or at least neutral, if you approach them with humility and respect (i.e. admit that their criticism has some degree of truth, and try to explain to them how you are attempting to work around the problem).

The internet is not a good place to be emotionally fragile, especially when you are willingly putting yourself out there. I am not expecting human behavior to change any time soon so I'd rather help people understand that they are talking to real people on the internet, instead of just filtering them out. Of course, that is strictly a personal preference, I would not blame others for thinking differently. :)

As for all the trolls and nasty internet content, I have no problem with it to be honest. It will exist somewhere if not on Reddit, and I never encounter it on Reddit anyhow (within my subreddits at least). Moderators tend to do a pretty good job of keeping their respective communities clean. On the rare occasion where I do encounter it somewhere, I just ignore it. Why waste my mental energy?
