Facebook’s metaverse vision, as shown in its PR videos, already will extremely difficult to implement. Adding interoperability on top of this feels like a bridge too far. Do experienced MMO engineers think this is achievable?
You can vouch for flagged stories if you don’t think they deserved the flag. Still, they’re not likely to succeed if they were flagged in the first place.
Hmm. This isn't really much to do with a GPU, it's more of a very, very 101 intro to OpenGL. It takes me back to grade 8 or 9 when I was originally learning this stuff! Very nostalgic. But very little todo with GPU instructions themselves.
Or even a Kobo (at least my old one) where the light is under the frame at the top, and projects down onto the screen so you're getting reflected light similar to an external source.

The UK Conservatives are currently enjoying the largest majority of seats in the house of commons they have had since Thatcher.

This puts them in a predicament...

They won this majority primarily because of their tough bullsh^W stance on Brexit, and (not so implicitly) on immigration (spoiler: "stopping it".)

If they were to open our borders to allow UKR refugees in, they probably think they would instantly lose a huge chunk of their support.
Some anime company just got a premise for their next hit show.
In no state can a tipped employee be paid below minimum wage. If their base wage plus tips received over hours worked are below the minimum, then the employer is obligated to make up the difference. Of course, not everyone knows this, and I'm sure there are a lot of employers taking advantage of the situation.
It's just YouTube for me. But it sucks most of my time :(

> Even with $23 per license, after taxes I barely make half of what I made at my previous job where I worked less hours.
I don’t understand how you can dismiss this so simply.

Seeing the odd numbered price of $23, I presume you have tried different pricing tiers and options, since pricing is a matter of elasticity and finding the right price point to maximize your revenue would require some effort.

> the people pirating your software probably wouldn't have paid for it anyhow
I heard this argument so many times.. it's like saying to someone who just got their bike stolen while they were trying to sell it
| the thief would have probably never bought it

Actually, that saying about piracy is true many a times. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t work in your favor either way. Anecdotally, I decide what I’m willing to pay for something and what I’m not willing to pay for something. Have I pirated software? Yes, I have in the distant past. And during those times, I wouldn’t have bought them at those prices either.

Maybe you need to change your website messaging to encourage those who cannot or will not pay to use the Lite version and encourage those who want the Pro version to pay. Pricing doesn’t have to be static all the time.

I hope you find the best options that work well for you and your customers.

Pre-loaded machines work, but I imagine you would have to move away from that once you support enough games, but it should be "easy" to just resume a machine to different games start states from disk. Afaik games are mostly using lots of CPU when starting so youre basically pre-computing all that and using the disk as a look-up table.

I like mine (2013 Automatic). A family of 3 would be great in it since you can fold down half the back seat for more trunk space. In addition they make aftermarket hitches so you can add cargo platforms or bicycle racks on the back if you need even more stuff. It may be a bit smallish if you are used to a minivan but it makes up for it with excellent fuel economy and reliability.

The only thing I would recommend is to get a manual and not the automatic. They switched to Continuously Variable Transmissions around 2015 and they have a really bad reputation so far. Pretty much disposable, barely-servicable, and unreliable. If you replace your car every 5 years then no big deal but I usually drive cars for 15+.

Edit: Also the dashboard tends to glare off the aggressively slanted windshield so getting a black dash mat helps a lot. But that is a lot of cars since the Prius popularized the windshield thing. Left quarter visibility sucks so you have to bob your head in parking lots to see around the A-pillar to see pedestrians on your left.

Their claim is "you should be able to compile git linux git with gcc 4.7.4" which is a completely arbitrary requirement.
There's a difference between "support" and "willing to fight and die".

I take your argument seriously. To a large extent it's simply a fact that a country populated by people willing to die on its behalf will outlast a country whose citizens lack that quality.

My point is that that's not a moral observation. It has nothing to do with "deserve". We can imagine a pacifistic country focused on art and technology that is conquered by a country of brutal philistine knuckle-draggers focused on war. Does the latter country "deserve" to conquer the former?
I'm going to first answer this question ignoring the fact that you joined Oracle. I'll address my feelings about Oracle later.

I would posit that in high functioning engineering organizations ever dev should get experience and in fact target a minumum of 1/3rd of their time be spent on operations work. Ignoring the way your application get's deployed, the environment it has to run in, the systems it needs to integrate with is a great way to build terrible software. Knowing all of that detail makes you a better developer and helps you develop better software. So I don't find it necessarily bad for your career if you end up doing some operations work as a developer. That said you do still want some level of actual development work present so if you don't have any of that then it's a sign of an unhealthy engineering organization.

Now to address the elephant in your comment. Since you mentioned you joined Oracle my advice is to get out as soon as you can. That company is toxic. It's a toxic presence in the database marketplace regardless of how good the database itself is. I've heard it's also a toxic place to work. No idea how much of the workplace stuff is true as opposed to just rumor but it's enough to convince me never to work there.
Property is about the boundaries of what one can control, not about physical stuff and land. What makes property property is not physical boundaries and the tangible nature of a thing, but the fact that you can control who gets to use what you possess and under what conditions, backed by the power of the state. In states with copyright laws, this applies equally to land and widgets as it does things you write.

Property being about land and geographical boundaries is one of the most common misconceptions that gets shattered in the first few weeks of a first-year course on the subject in law school.
Talking about OpenGL feels very regressive - the 'G' in GPU is hardly "graphics" any more, so presenting through the lens of rendering is backwards. These days, GPU is more like "General (data parallel) Processing Unit", and rendering is just a relatively uninteresting special case.

Think of it this way: wouldn't the world be a better place if Linux provided a way to create a GPU process without reference to displays?

It's not quite the same thing, but retaliation against people who don't tip well is very much a thing. Since tipping is at the end of the interaction, it doesn't really come up except for repeat customers.. but not tipping when you're a regular is a good way to get your food spat in.

I'm American, I grudgingly accept that tipping is how things are done and not tipping would be unfair to wait staff, but even before COVID I was mostly choosing restaurants that don't have table service just to avoid the 20% tip tax.
There seems to be a lively debate across the internet on this one. I've always preferred the "action" button to be on the right like this example:

https://miro.medium.com/max/1838/1*RSGWrWvqA0ubbg7BW8rz8w.pn...

I've noticed a lot of webpages recently (eg government sign ups, "confirm payment" screens) are putting the action button on the left which mildly irritates me, maybe they're considering that people read left-to-right and aren't total degenerate computer users like I am.

Disagree all you want. This is why certain ideologies that tend to be rule-following and cast aspersion on the spoils system often have trouble holding power. Such as centrists, libertarians and greens.
In my experience, code review often becomes a rubber stamping exercise. Reviewers only add trivial feedback and stop short of adding actual constructive criticism or feedback, either because they don't want to look like an arsehole, or because they don't have time.

That said, it's not an intrinsic problem with code review, but a team culture problem.
Sigh. Can't blame them, but Europe needs an EU Army so working with the US is a matter of choice, not necessity.
I think all 3 Baltic countries get wiped out overnight if Russia decides to press the issue.

Disclaimer: I was born in one of those countries. No, I wouldn't fly back home to go to war. My country is run by crooks like any other, and I am not about to go die like some dumbass. Assuming that it escalates that far.

Also population would play a big role here. The combined population of all three Baltic countries is around 5-6 million. In Ukraine it is 40+ million. Over the last 20 years, a large number of outskirt cities have been left deserted because people went on to find better life elsewhere.

Border cities in particular aren't protected because nobody cares to live there.

I think I am being pretty fair in my assessment, though.
First of all, whataboutism.

Second, we can learn about russian propaganda stories without allowing enemy propaganda to poison gullible part of population uncontested.
Yeah I linked it last because it's fairly weak. The CDC page I think shows the most solid evidence, consolidating a large number of different studies with different methodologies.

You mention:

> Empirical, observable direct evidence from countries where masks are mandatory, from Germany (N95! is mandatory) to South Korea, Hong Kong etc makes it evident that masks have no effect on the spread of this particular disease.

Seems South Korea's infections per million is 90 000, Hong Kong's is 63 000, Germany's infections per million is around 190 000, compared to countries with no mask mandate, these numbers seem relatively low.

Could you share specifically what data you're looking at that contradicts what I'm saying?

> Dogma is the bane of software-development, be it abstraction at all cost, immutability at all cost, or performance at all cost, etc.

You seem very sure of that.
The statement "Not that you asked my opinion, but $23/year for screendimming software--its no wonder people crack this." does not make any sense. If this is an application that only dimms the screen (which you can do multiple ways without any application) why would anyone make an effort of creating and distributing it and why would anyone make an effort on searching for a cracked version of given application? Surely there is some added value to it.

Also "if you can detect that someone is cracking your software or doesn't have a valid license, put a donation link in the shape of a coffee cup in the corner of your software. At least people have the option to support you." I have no data to back this up, but I really doubt that the people that are money-limited or just don't want to pay 20$ for an application will suddenly support a developer voluntarily.
Just an English clarification. The wording "the road indicated to them was actually mined" would typically be interpreted as 'They were pointed to a road which happened to be mined'. The interpretation of "indicated" in this case is referring to the fact that someone "indicated" the road to them, not that the road somehow "indicated" it was mined (e.g. with signs).

The sentence as worded _could_ be interpreted that way but that would not be the typical interpretation and was almost assuredly not the intention from the article.
Out of all coincidences, this one is now my favorite.

Well, because this was a press conference with the US Secretary of State. I'm sure he's going around various other NATO countries as well.
As much as any culture takes its system of beliefs and underlayment of culture seriously.
Working together with the US will always be a necessity, as will working with other allies, no country can really handle these situations alone very well.

We already have armies at the country level, plus NATO, creating an EU army seems like a way of saying "yeah this EU army here is totally different from NATO" which I doubt Russia will really be swayed by.
Interesting compiler feature to work around (unknown) vulnerabilities similar to this one. However in this case, it wouldn't help; the initial allocation is with explicit zero-initialization, but this is a circular buffer, and the problem occurs when slots get reused (which is the basic idea of a circular buffer).

The term red pill comes from The Matrix where the non-subtle metaphor is "want to know the truth? Take the red pill". There was no need to censor the term if that was the meaning.

A group of people, often considered misogynists or anti-feminists, who think they have a secret truth about dating women, also use the term.

There is also the subtle metaphor of The Matrix, that the redpill actual refers to transitioning into women. The color was choosen because in the 90s estrogen hormone therapy were literally red pills in the 90s.
If CNN participated in a blatant propaganda - i would want to hold them accountable. I don't believe they did during Iraq war, primarily because CNN is not government owned media and they don't know what is true or not. You can blame them for not verifying stories (and there should be responsibility for that as well), but RT absolutely knows what things they report are propaganda lies and what aren't.
If I understand that announcement correctly, most of the performance benefit comes from cutting down the number of kernel-to-userspace transitions, similar to userspace networking on Linux.

Another possibility is that DirectStorage requires use of raw NVMe devices or at least raw partitions to achieve top performance... basically cutting out the NTFS filesystem too from the code path. NTFS is extremely old and complex to implement, meaning that a "tiny" file system e.g. without journalling, permissions, ACLs and the likes makes more sense.
I suppose everything is weird to a North Korea sympathizer. See, two can play this childish name-calling, accusation game.
This kind of argument is hypocritical: You want to use newer versions of the Linux kernel yourself (otherwise you could just stick to whatever builds with your toolchain!), but say that the Linux kernel must not use newer versions of things.

The GCC version requirement is 5.1 (which is 7 years old). Before that, it was 4.9, 4.8, 4.6 and 3.2. It has never been 4.7.

Use of newer versions of C than C89 which provides solutions to actual issues is perfectly fine. C11 was picked because it does not require an increase in minimum GCC version to use it, making your entire argument pointless.

The Linux kernel is already pretty lenient, as many alternatives have their a compiler on the tree and target only that.
