> It admittedly gets a bit more difficult when these hacks and quirks are part of what create the unique feel of your game engine

Oh, the memories! I was so upset when bunny-hoping was mostly removed when CS:GO was released. I played the HNS (hide-n-seek) mode in CS 1.6 more than the normal game-mode. Most of the HNS mechanics were based on game bugs: bunny-hopping, long-jump (sync mouse movement with player movement), edge-bug (not dying if you fall from any distance on a 90degree edge at a specific distance), jump-bug (not dying if you fall from any distance if you jump exactly before you hit the ground), surfing (gaining almost infinite speed when sliding horizontally across a tilted surface).

I actually stopped playing CS entirely because this mode could not be accurately reproduced with the new CS:GO physics engine.
After watching this all the way through my mind wanted to push my screen around after I closed the tab. Almost like Hacker News was going away from me or something. It was a bit trippy. Just me?
Mikrotik fan checking in here - my "cheap" recommendation to anyone is the current hAP lite - USB powered, sub $30 shipped to your door. Web fig is as simple as can be; the most basic model still has all the features in 'Advanced' mode though.

Wow, Looks like the head of Global Security for Apple was caught bribing local officials with Apple merchandise to get them to issue concealed carry weapons permits to Apple employees.
Sharing resources from web applications securely is hard work. It doesn’t surprise me at all that they end up having to lock down some forms of access from time to time. Most likely they found a vulnerability and this was a side effect of mitigating it.
Freedom trancends brand names. You don't need facebook to create an encrypted communications channel. You don't need facebook to reach a wide audience either. Honestly, these days it's better not to fly under recognizable brand names or logos because your movement can be easily hijacked by anyone downloading those symbols and reproducing them in different contexts.

It seems the way moving forward will be "crypto-activism" where key individuals distribute information through end-to-end encrypted messaging channels; when they act in the public eye, it will not be obvious that they are affiliated with an organized group. In this way their actions will appear to represent "the will of the people" rather than the agenda of a single organization and it will also shield the organization itself from misinformation.

Just my two cents based on what I observed this year.
I'd probably state it this way.

It's one thing if someone makes an offhand comment like "Oh yeah, Hitler wanted to be an artist!"

You'd be like "Ok, interesting tidbit but whatever".

It'd be a whole 'nother thing if one multiple different occasions you start talking about positive hilter attributes.

I think it's reasonable for people to be pretty uncomfortable with the number of times and frequency that RMS seems to want to talk about underage sex. That certainly does not make him a pedophile. It is, however, pretty off putting.

All this makes me feel very much like the Hans Reiser case. I was internet active at the time and remember all of his fans swear up and down about how innocent he was and how much he was a victim of the corrupt judicial system. Then that fateful day happened when Reiser was convicted and basically said "Ok, if you'll give me a lighter sentence I'll show you where the body is".

Stallman did a lot of good for the opensource community, which makes him a hero to many. I think, however, it's unhealthy to try and justify his statements on pedophilia. It's ok to talk about the nuance of the laws (Certainly there are major issues with the way CP laws work. It's a bit crazy that teens are getting convicted of it over normal teen behavior). Stallman has been really icky here. He talks not about age difference but instead how "voluntary" the acts are. Trying to read in "Romeo and Juliet" scenarios when he himself doesn't even mention that is trying to paint a more rosy picture of what stallman wrote.

All of this, frankly, can also be cleared up by clarifications from Stallman (which he's not published). He could say pretty much exactly what you've said here "When I was talking about X, this is what I meant". He's not done that and I think that's really telling. Maybe someone told him to STFU, but then again, he's not really been silent on his positions on sex throughout the years, so why start now?

I tried a blind test some time ago, 5 generated, 5 real faces, and was 100% correct.

How? The generated faces have too perfect teetch, sometimes illogical changes in skin texture and hairiness,... But one thing really stands out on its own and I think I could be just as correct if I only relied on it.

See how all these pictures are propely lit and exposed and seem like they were taken with a decent camera? Now notice how this isn't the case with hair, especially transparent parts of loose long hair, where you see individual hairs. These parts look like they have way more noise and like they've been taken in low light with high ISO, somewhat like in a bad HDR composite. This may not work for slicked hair or bald people, yet it's pretty evident in almost all other cases.
The articles that I read on this 5 years ago stated that a sub-recreational dose was sufficient to reduce or eliminate cluster headaches for 6 months.

The patient doesn't need to take an amount that would get them "high" and the drug is still effective at keeping migraines at bay.
The metric system, since it's all based around base-10 counting, tends to operate in decimals. So you wouldn't normally talk about for example a quarter cm; rather you'd have 25mm. In the imperial system working in fractions is much more common, so you have quarter inches, eighth inches, etc. Halving is more intuitive using fractions since it amounts to multiplying the denominator, rather than dividing.

Anyway, I'm not really arguing for the imperial system, just saying that aside from legacy use, that's the one advantage I see for it vs metric. But a metric system based on base-eight... that would be beautiful.

Monetary impact is serving as a proxy and metric for the scope of the problem.

As others have pointed out, not all burglary and larceny is necessarily violent. But you're also missing the point that wage theft is not always a dispassionate contract dispute between equal parties. Especially for those most vulnerable (minimum wage workers, people with medical conditions, people with dependents, the food and housing insecure) there is a massive level of coercion going on as well. These individuals often cannot afford to risk a legal fight to assert their claims to what they're fairly owed.

I have friends who knew their employer was stealing from them and had to forgo things like medications because they couldn't make ends meet that month. Friends in the restaurant industry who've had to skips meals and go hungry while their manager skimmed from the tip pool. It may not meet the Oxford English Dictionary definition of "violence" but it sure seemed like violence to me.

Why must we be so quick to discredit placebos? If a certain set of stimuli (someone in a medically authoritative position saying "this thing will help you", followed by you taking it), can be shown to work well at reducing symptoms in clinical studies, why not embrace it?
And, of course, you carefully documented the reason for the larger buffer and encoded the value into a constant or other documentable source. One hopes you didn't hardcode '5 bytes' with a comment that says 'more bytes safer' and nothing else :-).
Looks to be iOS jailbreak for any device on a version of iOS 13.

Some quick searching indicates previous most popular tool unc0ver only went up to iOS 13.5 (vs newest 13.7 that this tool jailbreaks).

Not for me. It's the opposite. The first two hours after I take it are a come up. My symptoms are different each time I take it: Sometimes I'm half cognizant at that time, sometimes normal. Sometimes I get very sleepy and want to take a nap. Sometimes it makes me feel like I have low blood sugar during the come up and I start mildly shaking needing to eat something. Sometimes an arm or my arms will go to sleep during the come up, which happens to me on lsd (but not mushrooms) as well. But once the come up is over, usually within an hour and a half, I feel completely normal like I took nothing.

I'm probably abnormal. I imagine if you take it while you do not have a migraine you'll get a mild heightened experience that may or may not be noticeable. It is, after all, a triptan.

Oddly, 4-aco always made my mind feel clear the way you're describing. A bit more awareness, a bit more clarity. On 4-aco I wouldn't notice much or any come up. It was just the effects from the drug getting stronger over the first hour.

That would make sense if ISPs' costs veried per GB like a power suppliers costs vary per kWh. But they don't really. 99% of the cost of them is running the initial fibre/copper and then maintaining it. Until you reach the limit of the infrastructure, the cost per extra GB is basucally nothing.
Well, the study wasn't very well blinded.

"Psychedelic Effects Subjects scored the 5D-ASC scale at the
end of each experimental session. The percent possible score
for the total scale was significantly higher after psilocybin
(19.35% (7.55)) as compared to placebo (3.08% (1.80); p =
0.026, t(9) = 2.65)"

So, the placebo effect could have caused the reduction in migraines.
Nothing wrong with that, but it may be testing something different. Worth testing, but it's a different concern.
The original comment referenced Trump's anti-mask attitude. His position was never just that you shouldn't be forced into wearing a mask; he was against masks period. He refused to wear one publicly while mocking others for wearing them. He explicitly turned masks into a political issue claiming that people wore them just to express their disapproval of him. He even refused to wear a mask while touring a mask factory.

So again, this _clearly_ had nothing to do with freedom or totalitarianism.

Raising taxes in a downturn is a ridiculous idea and we should pay everyone to stay shut until the virus is under control.

You could also ask why Californians should pay the Medicare taxes associated with Florida's much higher rate of COVID infection due to their opening of restaurants and the state's higher elderly population.. We're all in this together, the economy won't be back to normal until Covid is gone and all of these ridiculous states flaunting obvious public health rules are costing everyone much more than it would take to just pay restaurant employees and everyone else to stay home for a few more months.

My understanding is a work for hire contract entitles the writer to royalties if the contract says it does.

Unless you can show a court case where the contract said a work-for-hire author is entitled to royalties and the court threw out that contract provision as "illegal" or "not royalties" then I'm skeptical what you wrote here is correct.

Heroku is a god send for getting off the ground, however the biggest issue for us hasn’t been cost (it’s high, but worth every cent) it’s been server location.

We’re an Aussie company, and a large percentage of our customers are in Australia. Having servers only in the US and Europe mean that Australian customers speeds are slower than they should be, and private spaces are far too expensive to warrant it.
I suspect you're playing with terms from an academic sense here and we're speaking in a different sense, so you're talking past each other.

Remember how ignorant the average American is when it comes to current events, then realize that they're an order of magnitude more ignorant when it comes to history.
What happened was that purchasing value separated from currency numbers. That was enabled by the moving away from the gold standard, but was not the abandonment of the gold standard per se.

It allowed the wage numbers to increase, but not sufficiently to keep up with inflation. In other words, where before there was one rate of change, there were now two different rates of change.

A concrete example: before 1970 a blue-collar worker had a big enough wage that enabled him to buy a house, car, and good standard of living while his wife was able to stay home and look after the house. Today his wage needs to be supplemented by his wife's wage, and they do not have sufficient to have a house, car and good standard of living. In fact they struggle to make ends meet.

If wages had kept in line with cost of living rises, that blue-collar worker would be making over $2000 per week.

Stallman chooses his words precisely. An 18 year old dating a 17 year old isn't a pedophile formally or informally. The article he shared is about a campaign to make 12 the age of consent among other things.

Please note that for the purposes of determining statutory rape, a person under the age of consent is not mature enough to give consent, so there cannot be "voluntary pedophilia."

In "Part 2: The Calculus Definition", f and g switch roles a couple times. Before the colorized formula, "f" is described as "the plan to use", and "g" as "the list of inputs"; and after the colorized formula, the plan is referred to as a "kernel"; but in the formula itself, "g" is the inputs and "f" is the kernel.

Fairly sure the point about not understanding how a car works when you turn the key is meant to represent increasingly complex systems - and for sure knowing “every single bit” is a tall order... but that expression (using a car engine as an example of an unknowably complex system) always struck me as odd: is the author unaware of how internal combustion works?

With the clear intelligence of the writing one has to guess that getting a cursory knowledge of how a gasoline motor, clutch, transmission and differential works would take far less time than this article took to write!

Maybe I’m being pedantic here but if you can make sense of Kafka - turning a car key shouldn’t be much of a mystery!

I believe masks are important. They are essential. But that's no justification for unnecessary masks. In fact, we should be conserving masks. Not wearing them when they're not necessary.
