Yep. And this is why I play emulated and pirated games. These older games don't use loot boxes, DLC, or the myriad of other tricks and traps to sink more money after the initial purchase.

I'll also play more current games where I actually buy the game outright, although that's changed from computer to board games. I know what I'm getting with a board game. None of that stupid lootbox crap, or the Diablo3 method of forcing people to buy crap on eBay to play "single player game".

The game companies have forced me to migrate to local games. And Emulation serves its purpose very well. It assumes the same hardware, and just works. Yeah, it's breaking copyright, but well - I'd get screwed in buying legit. So well, whatever. Arr.
The parent comment did not bring up their gender. They simply corrected the poster who erroneously thought they were a man. This was an error, and we should hold ourselves to a standard that corrects mistakes. If anyone "brought up their gender" it was the poster that used masculine pronouns as a default for some reason.

Is it possible to start a training run, logout for a month-two and return back once training is complete? Or does it only allow a single browser session?
I respectfully disagree. For most troops, deploying with your personal device is a huge morale boost. Blocking GPS on these devices is not practical, and might actually help when it comes to innovation in the field (helicopter pilots using iPads to innovate routing, for example) - not to mention just basic morale (movies / music / what have you).

These tools also go a long way toward operational readiness / fitness. They incentivize these things and are used for a reason. There are trade-offs with all these things, not to mention the practical issues of blocking them.

I would expect, however, that identifying this as a huge security problem is relatively easy. "HEY DO NOT UPLOAD YOUR RUN WHILE DEPLOYED OR YOU MAY GET MORTARED" is likely a better option here, just below "MAKE SURE YOU WEAR YOUR NEON BELT" on every sign.
Yes and no. OpenBSD always had far fewer exploitable bugs than Windows, so it presents a smaller attack surface. And far fewer people bothered to develop exploits. Windows has always been the big juicy target, with exploits easily available.

In a normal bank run, the problem is that the people want the money back now but the bank has lend most of it and the money is locked in a 20 years mortgage. In some sense all the deposits of the bank are 100% backed. They just can't go immediately and reposes a house and send a bunch of brick to the people that want their deposits.

There are also some cases when the bank has no enough money (bad lenders selection, promised a too high interest rate, fraud, ...). In this case the deposits are not fully backed. But this is not the normal state of a bank.
std::memory_order:relaxed would not cover my use case.
This still requires locking, if we are using atomic<int> on x86 the locking is probably done at an assembly level which is much faster, but it remains locking.

Specifically, that form of locking marks a specific cache line 'locked' and blocks all processors from modifying that cache line.
When you're variable happens to share that cache line with something you want quick access to, this stuf matters.
(there is an exception using 'compare and swap' instructions, but I've only seen ICC emit those, not GCC.)

In general, I would expect data races to only create UB when the behavior they result in happens to be UB.
In my specific example, there is no source of UB except for apparently the data race.

i been coding for over 16 years now and i rarely write unit tests. only time i write them are mission critical functions where i need to easily check across many different situations. these accounts for less than 10% of my code.

however, i do write functional tests for all my api endpoints. this gives me pretty solid coverage and a good balance of not over testing.
Touchscreens are awful on a device that you might want to use in the rain... like a watch.

I have a Garmin sport watch with a touch screen (plus two physical buttons). If you're out in the rain and need to change modes on a run or bike ride, it's nearly impossible, you need to stop, bend over to shield the watch with your body, dry your finger on your shirt (assuming you have a dry spot), then then you can usually use the touchscreen.

Once it's set to the right mode, the 2 physical buttons work well, but anything that requires the touchscreen is nearly impossible without stopping what you're doing.

(at least that's the case with whatever touchscreen technology Garmin uses, maybe there's a better option for use in the rain)

And the preemtible price is only $0.22 per GPU. Not that the GPUs used here seem to be preemtible, but this might give some hint to the baseline cost.
Except their window system rewrite actually slowed everything down. Every single os release has added bugs to the graphics layer. I've been maintaining a simple little screensaver since Mac os beta (almost 20 years old now) and the last 3 or 4 releases there's always something that breaks it. Bug reports go unheeded.
Seems analogous to load testing a physical structure. At first, that probably seemed unnecessarily risky, but in retrospect, you want to build robustly enough that even fairly excessive/destructive loads have no real impact.
On another take, the amount of IKEA furniture I've assembled over the years has instilled some basic sense of design and structure which has aided my in building my own outdoor furniture. IKEA is, effectively, a DIY store and you aren't limited to the pieces they package together. You can really be creative with it.

Of course it's subjective. Not all people have as much to gain from this additional access. There are people close to me that I'm pretty sure would've hung themselves by now without internet communities.

Though for humanity as a whole, obviously access to information is the biggest deal. But why stop at education? People today have more awareness than ever about everything. In some cases, including things that average civilians would never have gotten to see, like government leaks, or videos of executions.

And neither of those things are always positive obviously. Not all educational materials are good, not all communities have a positive effect, and sometimes there's just too much information to find the signal in the noise.

So I think it's fair to argue either really. And, truth be told, it's possible we couldn't have had one without the other, given how much individual people have contributed to the internet knowledge stores.
What I notice with Ikea stuff is that you are more likely just to give it away. I was at a party a few years ago and the host said they were sick of a cheap Ikea table. I consulted the wife and we ended up taking it with us. I notice that people will give away the cheap stuff rather than trying to sell it. Still have the table BTW.

Apparently, they did use recordings and it did have effect on the elephants in Sri Lanka.

> we used a recording of a disturbed hive of cavity-dwelling Asian honey bees (Apis cerana indica) and conducted sound playbacks to 120 wild elephants in 28 different groups resting under trees in Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka. Elephants responded by moving significantly further away from their resting site in bee playback trials compared to controls. Elephants also increased vocalization rates, as well as investigative and reassurance behaviours in response to bee sounds, but did not display dusting or headshaking behaviour

It's perfectly fine that your SO is a non-tech person. It might even be a good thing. If you can't explain in layman's terms why your side project is so fantastic, then you might realize it's just not so wonderful.
In the LLVM case you can see that PGO overrides the inline hint. And if you’re not using PGO you don’t care about performance that much anyway.

The best way to find out if your function was inlined is to build it as if for release and then disassemble and read it.

I wonder how this worked in the past. Were people less "weird" that the people they knew IRL were enough?
I have seen both. I went to a theatre in Miami where you had to pay more for the eat and dine experience and just to be in the lobby.

Where we usually go - Studio Movie Grill - you can usually get a ticket for $5. The prices of the food and the quality is around AppleBeds like you said.

That's true about the silverware, it's never been distracting but another place we go - a small place with about a capacity of 70 that has live music uses paper plates and utensils.

The owner of a safari camp showed me the line of beehives around their property. They were adding a new hive because the gap between two was big enough and elephants got in. Pachyderms also motivated the row of chili peppers around their garden.

At least in the UK each of the big cinema chains runs there own equivalent to this, and they push their staff hard to sell passes because the actual seat costs them a negligible amount of money, and people who “aren’t paying” for the seat are more likely to buy food and drink.
Most of the times when you rent you don't have the actual time to sell the furniture that you bought, because the "finding a new place and moving right in"-period is pretty short. Plus, you kind of need your bed, your chairs and your table until the day when you're actually moving out, so if you were the one who had actually bought them and there's not enough space for them in the new place then your only solution is to leave them behind.
Lots of downvotes, and a couple of replies from people who don't understand what fractional reserve banking is, and that the institutions lend (and trade, which was then more heavily regulated following the last crash, and is in the process of being deregulated again) on many multiples of what they actually have in deposits.

That said, they never claim to be 1:1. They claim to be operating within the legalities requires for fractional reserve banking.

Tether claims to be 1:1.

It's apparently not the ticket price that they care about. They removed support for the River East 21 in Chicago, which has 21 screens and shows a lot of foreign and limited releases. You could probably go there every couple of days and see a new movie you haven't seen before. Ticket prices there are actually cheaper than the 600 N. Michigan AMC which they still support. But that theater only has 9 screens and basically only shows blockbusters.

Likewise, the Webster Regal in Chicago is about $3 more per ticket than theater they dropped support for. But they don't carry all the limited/foreign releases that River East does.
Looks like the US cutting off Wikileaks from the credit card system in late 2010, forcing them to set-up bitcoin very early, and Wikileaks keeping the coin because of fear of bank account seizure, might have netted it $25 million or so[1]. This is really a classic case to point to for the problems(or strengths, if one is in control) of the current banking/fiat system that was part of the claimed reason why Satoshi created Bitcoin.

The real issue with all the pump and dump, fear of missing out, and all the other crazy “mooning” is that it is ruining this whole space. It is creating a reality that all the haters of cryptocurrency have been talking about for a while.

Instead of focusing on building real applications with blockchain, programmable money, and changing the world everyone is focused on trading and get rich quick schemes. This stuff could change the world it is money ripped out of government hands and it could be baked into everything we do on the internet but I am not so sure that will happen anytime soon anymore.

I am very jaded with the whole space because of all this fraud.
So how is it different from Bitcoin? Except for time scale? Is it the dump part?
Yeah but the real one is tangible and not copyable in the same way. Digital copies are exactly the same as each other. The "rarity" is completely artificial and pointless. Everyone has the same desktop picture, but oh boy, I own the digital signature!

The orthogonality is essentially follows from (1) integer frequency complex sinusoids have an average value of zero over [0,2π], and (2) if you multiply two distinct integer frequency complex sinusoids, you get another integer frequency complex sinusoid. I'm not sure that this is any more intuitive.

It worked in the short term since elephants weren't expecting to be fooled. But it is possible that if they hear the sound of buzzing enough times without seeing any bees, they will start to disregard it.

Fear of bees is clearly a learned behavior in elephants.
That's weird — here, the more full-service a theater is, the more expensive it is. Some theaters have more extensive food selections and serve booze, and those are more expensive than normal theaters. Others actually have servers take your order and bring it to you in the theater, and those are more expensive still. I figured it was a sort of price discrimination — the people who want to eat expensive food while watching a movie are less likely to care if the ticket cost an extra $5 because that's a tiny fraction of the evening's total cost.

I guess my point is with this much manipulation and fraud, it is not hard to see market go down big time due to tether.

Gdax volume is inflated aomewhat due to bitfinex' bot that keeps buying and selling/painting tape on gdax.

We saw what happened previously when a large exchange becomes insolvent. Tether will lead to bitfinex being insolvent, or better will lead to government raid or something.

I would also be careful about calling things low info. I have plenty invested in crypto, but unlike many i am not a mooner dreamer. Btc is trying really hard ti stay at its current price and relies on tether printing. I dont think this is hard to see...
I've found that the touchscreen on my vivoactive works perfectly when wet and in light rain (not under the shower).

> I propose we politely point out mistakes and assume the best intentions (even though of course sometimes that assumption will be wrong).

It's possible to politely point out peoples' mistakes while giving them no room to purposely misgender, which is exactly what this thread does. Let's examine the course of this conversation:

"He said..."

"It's a she" (In my opinion a polite response. This is where any discussion should have ended.)

"Why does that matter?"

"You can't let people get away with misgendering a trans person"

If you only respond to the final comment, then your point makes sense. But the the act of politely pointing out the mistake already happened - now we must justify why it matters.
Referring to her with the wrong gender is no different than using the wrong name of an author. She is a woman. Anyone who glanced at the blog would see a giant, honking "JULIA" on top of the blog.

Promoting investment in Bitcoin can (in theory) be legitimate if you sincerely believe that Bitcoin has real value. By contrast, pump and dump schemes involve lying about a security you know to be worthless (or at least worth far less than what you're saying). The fact that you dump it immediately makes it easy to prove this.
