I'm having a hard time understanding what roblox is, even when looking for a gameplay video.

For an older analogy, would it be fair to compare it to something like TinyMUCK with graphics?
No worries! Great to hear your perspective.
I don't understand. Are you suggesting that another branch of government is therefor able to restrict that freedom? That would fundamentally challenge the co-equality of the branches.

GP's point is that the constitution serves not to grant the freedom of speech, but to restrict the government from curtailing it.
> After about 100 meters towards the center of the exclusion zone, you need to store enough radioactive material, preferably near Geiger obelisks, that going there will kill you _very_ quickly, for 1000's of years. Quicker the better. People need to associate the deaths with the area!

Interesting idea, but people will gather radioactive material to prepare the suicidal attack. The cursed area therefore needs to be able to kill people without an ability to move the curse out of it by itself.
Moscow is quite large, and it is unlikely that your job will be nearby. You should consider yourself lucky if you have only a 10 minute commute, few people are lucky like that. Just getting to the city center (where the job is likely to be) from the periphery (where one is likely to live) can easily take: 10 minutes walking, 5 or so minutes waiting for the right bus to get to the nearest subway station, 5-7 minutes of riding the bus, 15-20 minutes riding the subway (more if there are transfers), etc. That's one way. And it assumes you don't have to ride the bus or walk much on the other end (which is often not the case). In the winter the above ground part of the journey implies -30C weather conditions, slippery sidewalks, and other "fun" challenges.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Besides games, using CUDA on Linux has been the de facto OS for anything serious for almost as long as CUDA has existed. What exactly is the problem with it?
But most people don’t drive off-road vehicles anyway, so redesigning cities to prioritize trains over minivans does nothing to increase the population’s dependence on government infrastructure. The minivans won’t work without the roads the government built either.

For one thing, the SIM swap attack [1]

In general, relying on a second factor whose security practices aren't the best, could actually compromise security compared to having a strong and unique password.

I personally wish that more banks would support 2FA authentication using a username/password in combination witH TLS client side certificates.
Characters in fiction regularly behave sub-optimally even if they're set up as geniuses, for the most mundane meta reason: It's a work of entertainment, and the plot wouldn't get interesting otherwise! We should always be very aware that any fiction, even ones that attempt speculative simulations, is always shackled by the need to keep being entertaining and interesting -- there are craptons of concepts and possibilities that _can_ occur or _will_ become deeply relevant to humanity but hardly ever gets explored in fiction because they're boring to read or write about.
I use the Kinesis Freestyle Pro with Cherry MX Brown switches.

It's great ergonomically speaking. The hand position is very comfortable, the keys are top quality, and I don't have to move the hand too much to use the mouse.

Also, very little re-learning required since the keys are in pretty standard positions. I highly recommend it.
I especially like debuggex for debugging/teaching purposes, here's an example: https://www.debuggex.com/r/SMLRfiyt0Ag2hXu5
TBH i'm missing ISDN a little, though i still don't need it ;-> The dialing was instant, which isn't the case with VOIP or mobile, at least i haven't seen better ones so far. The quality of voice was also good, which isn't always the case with VOIP or mobile either. Then there is the aspect of resilience, you could have a simple ISDN phone powered over the line from the exchange, which was protected against loss of power. Good for emergencies. All this is being built back, which seems like loss of quality to me, because mobile base stations aren't that well protected either. And even if, in case of larger emergencies often overloaded? I guess you understand "Dienstgüte und Verfügbarkeit"?

As to the thing with the schools, that depends? There are (even public) schools where laptops or tablets are mandatory, which lead to discussions how kids with not so rich parents could afford them. In the 90ies i tought some interestd teachers how to network, installing and administering gateways, proxies, and so on. So don't overgeneralize this, please. I bet it's not evenly distributed in the whole of CA either. Furthermore, what educational use do cell phones have for teens, when they are distracted by viral videos of degrading nature, or texting while not following the teacher? You could call me a luddite in parts, while i would answer with anti-consumerism. It all depends... HTH
I'm a novice in my IT career. If you're able and willing, would you mind explaining to me how software (spun as it may be) for disaster relief, could be used for data collection outside the scope of the objectives you had in the name of disaster relief? If this question misses the mark you're welcome to ignore it. Thanks!

You definitely do not want to use opencl for matrix multiplies on Nvidia cards. That's the most highly optimized task on GPUs, so much so that they have dedicated hardware units for it. Opencl cannot take advantage of those.
Houston is indeed utopia (at least for some), there are not enough resources on this planet to get a large house with pool to 7 billion people.
That's a very good point indeed. Java edition is not easy on hardware.
I spent years homeless.

A. Most services aimed at the homeless would be sued out of existence if they were intended for middle class clientele. They are frequently quite terrible.

For example: At a free meal from the Salvation Army, an older woman sitting next to me who had just gotten out of the hospital for a heart condition had all her stuff stolen for complying with their crappy policy of leaving her stuff in the unguarded designated area. It was cold and rainy that night and she had just lost all her extra clothes and bedding.

They were giving away bedding and clothes after the meal. No one walked her to the front of the line and said "Make sure she gets what she needs to make it safely through the night."

B. I'm mostly not interested in seeing more homeless services. They are mostly a "fuck you" solution.

If we actually cared about people in the US, we would have free national health care and an appropriate housing supply. We have neither, then we blame poor people as being crazies and junkies when they end up homeless.

Then we add insult to injury by giving them terrible food with long lines and similar "services" for which we expect them to be ever so grateful.

I'm wholly unimpressed with the entire thing. The system is quite broken.
Why? The situation in which it occurs is unambiguous. Allocate more memory than is available and watch it fail less than gracefully. What you're suggesting is merely technical gatekeeping; there is nothing to gain from writing a special purpose OOM-causer, no less specifying that it must be written in C.
Don't let be fooled by the "tourist impression".
Staying for some days isn't the same as living in a place, involving commuting to work, bringing children to school, etc

Same here. I generally am fairly well versed in games and tech, even the more obscure stuff, but I'm surprised about how little I've seen about this game over the years. I've heard the name here and there but never really looked into it.

So far, it looks close to VR chat? I'd also like if someone could explain:

1. What the appeal is (I'm guessing mostly community?)

2. How do they monetize (purchasable cosmetic content?)

3. Where most of the demographic is (country, age, gender)
> I wonder if it wouldn't be more helpful to try and design a Geiger counter that could last 10,000 years.

You'd also need to design signage/language to last and transcend those same 10K years to indicate what that constant "blip blip blip" means.
There are lots of new cities, or at least cities that were founded or built substantially after the invention of the car. Irvine, CA, for example began construction in the 60s and incorporated in the 70s. The town I grew up in only incorporated in 1982 (and most every house was built in the 70s to 90s.
I'm really puzzled by absence of public restrooms in US.
Accept status quo and prepare for those hacker rank style interviews. Companies have money that you need.

If you are experienced, you will have more say. But for a fresher, you don't have much choice.

That said, I do think hacker rank sucks. The companies never explain why and where you screw up, if they don't like your coding style, your speed etc
It's not just memory discipline that is pretty bad (and not just in the OSS world). I've recently seen several newer languages refuse to deal elegantly with low-level errors.

For example, in a Java server application, if one request encounters some buggy code that tries to read past the end of an array, that request will fail, but all others will succeed - this will give a good chance for the system to be usable, and getting a good bug request, with system-generated diagnostics, for the buggy requests.

However, in Go or Rust, the same scenario panics and kills the entire process by default - turning a potentially minor bug in some obscure part of the system into a system-wide crash.

OOM is obviously harder to deal with (e.g. if one request is using too much memory, there's no guarantee that it won't be other requests actually seeing the OOM errors first), so if we don't even want to deal with the easy stuff, how can we hope to deal gracefully with the hard ones?

Yes, it has been bugging me a lot. My SWAP space remains empty, and my RAM runs out of space. And that situation is frustrating because I can't close my applications or even restart display server to clean up memory.

Something needs to be done here for real, otherwise Linux is a nice software
The problem is people feel trapped into buying Apple only because they got used to MacOS. I'm sure not many would bother to keep using these outdated 2015 MBP if they could simply install MacOS on a Thinkpad X1 like you do Linux, for instance.
It's the case not just in Korea and Japan but in most cities outside of America. It's one of American peculiarities, like checks or no public health care.

China has a fantastic subway system in most big cities, for example. I once took a subway ride from the Shenzhen airport to the Hong Kong border, crossed the border, switched to another subway and arrived in downtown Hong Kong. That's around 65km (40 miles) by public subway!

Hostile architecture is usually focused on the local/micro, the area of influence of the builder/owner.

Solving the actual problems in society that lead to hostile architecture is a harder problem and the builder doesn't have complete control of that. A builder can choose to donate to a charity that assists the homeless but that doesn't mean people will stop peeing in their property.

Does anyone know of an organization that could collect money from lots of builders/owners, apply some root cause analysis and try to solve the real problems so private owners don't need to resort to hostile architecture? Preferably a public one.
There are lots of new cities, or at least cities that were founded or built substantially after the invention of the car. Irvine, CA, for example began construction in the 60s and incorporated in the 70s (and now has more than 250K people making it a top 100 city by population). The town I grew up in only incorporated in 1982 (and most every house was built in the 70s to 90s).

Do we need something other than medium.com?
I think world needs a website that allows you to write and read for free, but works like medium.

Medium is awesome because of

It allows us to write efficiently

It allows us to create new publications. (This is the power of it)

It allows us to customize publications and make the page a little bit our-like.

But, it is paid. (Until you use some illegal softwares like browser extensions to bypass)

So, I checked the internet whether there's some alternatives to medium and found this out. https://beebom.com/medium-alternatives/ But, any of this doesn't do the job clean as medium does.

So, Is it the time to create an open-source publications website? Or is there really one?

Happy to discuss>>>

I've always disliked the Verge and this article reminds me of why.

> Internet hate forum 8chan [..]

Indifference to what is perceived as good or evil is not good or evil within itself. There's objectively a lot of hate in those forums, but there's also a lot of good. 4chan for example came up with a solution to an unsolved mathematics problem [1].

> [..] following the latest of at least three mass shootings linked to 8chan.

I think far many more terrorists have had social media platforms on services such as Twitter or Facebook. As I've also said before, the reason they are here is because they kicked them out of everywhere else - of course they will now concentrate on these platforms. Beforehand there may have been a chance to de-radicalize these people with exposure to everyday persons, but when you isolate them this is what you get. The fact of the matter is, these people exist whether you like it or not and they will find somewhere to talk.

> [..] when Voxility discovered the content, it cut ties with Epik almost immediately.

I remember also that Cloudflare gave 8chan 24 hours notice. Also look at how internet services have treated the people of Iran, blocking them from basic resources without warning. In some ways I am glad to see this, as I now know which providers to avoid - I don't want any service provider I use to take a political stance and give me 24 hours or less to rethink my platform strategy.

> Over the past year, Epik has raised its profile by working with far-right-friendly sites (like Gab) that have been banned by other web service companies.

Disingenuous, Gab is free-speech-friendly, not "far-right-friendly". But even if it was far-right friendly by definition, so what? People with a different political stance have a shared platform, just look at Bread Tube for the far-left [2]. Neither are evil by default and both have their share of shitheads.

So it's a browser based gaming 'portal', that includes chat, profiles, cosmetic items etc and which allows users to create their own basic games. The appeal is that the games are fairly simple, often social and don't require a ton of investment (i.e. casual). They make money on in game currency which can upgrade both cosmetic and non-cosmetic items in both a users profile and in-games. Demographic is probably pre-teen, both genders.
In what way they were not clear cut back then? It is not like people at the time were confused over meaning of rape or confuscation of property and so on.

These were debated as issues from the first moment. You had those who push for these kill all policies and those who oppose them. Sometimes one side win, other times the other and result is controversial from start for years.

There is this idea that "judging by the time" means judging by the perspective of worst person available, but that is not how history happened.
Well it pretty much always was a part of the eco system it just was not open source. We have been contributors to rapids for a while. And yes, we are betting on Nvidia for sure.

For most people building GP GPU solutions they are going to have to make a decision when it comes to which hardware they want to support. After that decision is made it really isn't something you can revisit without copious amounts of money.
Well, years ago, when Amazon wasn't a monopoly, who had the choice to make it one?

The final user.

Personally, I've never used Amazon before seeing a friend ordering a fairly huge amount of stuff from there. Prior to that, I was a not-so-obsessed-from-ecommerce eBay user, where I placed an order maybe every 4-5 months.
I've started using Amazon because of its returning policy, which is better that eBay's, but by doing so, i've also increased the amount of stuff bought on the platform, because of time. Getting older and having more responsibilities, you've to save some time, then Amazon comes to rescue when it comes to generic stuff.

I guess now it's really late to blame Amazon for the monopoly, as well as Microsoft did in 90s with PCs and Google is doing nowadays with Android+Chrome.

Sure, there are alternatives, but the final decision on who gets the monopoly is the user

The idea that this ugly primitive person can be a president despite everything known so far, is beyond belief.
> ... discrimination and cruelty against each other's followers.

A belief system is--by definition--discrimination against contrary beliefs, and therefore, followers of those contrary beliefs. And one definition of "cruelty" (e.g. to women - by denying full and free access to abortions) might be the inverse of someone else's definition of "cruelty" (e.g. to unborn children - by aborting them).

Someone can presume that they hold the absolute claim to the "truth" of which side is cruel, and which side is intolerant, but as human beings we simply do not and cannot know the truth of the matter.

So the problem I have is, when faced with such a dilemma, calling for violence against someone in the name of being "intolerant to intolerance".
The US can import stuff from any number of other countries at higher prices. Who is China going to send its manufactured goods to?

I think you're confused; there certainly are public restrooms in our large cities. But even there, it just doesn't stop late-night drunks and the homeless from peeing on buildings.
I posted my full Amazon contract in this thread, with highlights on the key parts. I was an SDE-3 (Level 6), hired in Dublin, and then moved to Seattle after 2 years: https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1157698145632976896

AFAIK, software engineers don't get the 18-month non-compete clause that triggered the cited lawsuit. There's a less harsh clause of 18-months that prohibits working with Amazon customers and vendors. And, there's also a 12-month period where you can't work with any ex-employee who worked at Amazon in the past 12 years. More details in the thread.
> In Washington state non-competes are ubiquitous, and hair-stylists and estheticians have been sued over them.

They are no longer enforceable for employees earning less than $100k, or contractors earning under $250k.
Defense can afford to do that since the profit margin is higher and the risks much higher as well.

I'm not saying Amazon can't treat their workers as decent human beings, just that on the benefits/compensation front they have different constraints.
It’s funny - there was a time when Apple had petty great hardware and woefully inadequate software (after Steve’s return, before Mac OS X was released). Now it seems they’ve switched to being the other way around.
