Please oh wise devout spiritual leader, explain how porn has warped my mind.

When you think of sex, do you think of those innocent portrayals in movies where people save themselves until marriage and then whenever they have sex it is the most gentle (and boring) experience where they slowly move until they are done and then have a magical baby?

Yeah, that's not natural. That is how religions have wanted you to think about sex because they barely even approve of it except to create a baby.

If anything most porn is more realistic of our animalistic wants than the bs we have been fed on tv.

So please, tell me what you mean by "porn" doesn't represent sex. Because I have to say, for all the porn I have watched my wife and I have enjoyed most of it.
How does cycle counting interact with CPU frequency scaling? Do you just assume that the CPU is at a fixed frequency for performance comparisons & analysis? (I suppose this is accurate for short lived benchmarks.)

I imagine you'd see some weird effects if the CPU changed its frequency during a benchmark, or if the process moved between cores since (as I understand it) the RAM would get faster relative to the CPU when the CPU is clocked lower. So some operations would take fewer cycles when the CPU is running slower.

Or am I misunderstanding what this is measuring?
For starters, make sure nobody under 18 can watch porn and figure out regulations that hold the companies accountable. If a 13 year old can be kept from online gambling, they can be kept from online porn. It doesn't have to be 100% effective, just start trying. It shouldn't be that hard to make a lot of improvement. I'm actually sort of disturbed that this hasn't already happened and that the current state of things isn't seen as a problem.
It's a gradual shift that's no so gradual when looking at the block of population. Gen X are those that didn't have any digital connectivity while growing up. Millennials grew up connected through text/chat/email/very early social media, but without being constantly connected to the internet. Gen Z has grown up being connected and with information and entertainment available the time.

Generations share a "core" of experiences that happen during some of the most impactful years of their lives. First geopolitical event I remember was 9/11. For some it was the Great Recession or COVID. Those big events end up exerting a lot of influence on age groups.

I think Generations can be overused in the sense that it's used like a monolith when it's not. The clickbaity "Generation Z doesn't want to work" is actually the less clickbaity "Many in Generation Z find working a less attractive option because of these specific shared experience/values..."

It was common advice for maybe a 5-year span in the 00s. It was born and died pretty quickly, but did more than a little harm in that time. Trouble was, it was kinda true when people started saying it, but wasn't true anymore by the time the people who receive that advice were graduating.

The OGL was always, always, always a trap, and it's sad to see it snap shut. The time for Paizo and such to move on from it was with Pathfinder 2E, but they didn't, and now the depressing part happens.

The other shoe to drop is the actual play community. Critical Role is all but in-house already and probably won't be affected, but smaller creators trying to monetize their 5E content are going to start feeling the noose tighten.

> The original OGL granted “perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license” to the Open Game Content (commonly called the System Resource Document) and directed that licensees “may use any authorized version of this License to copy, modify and distribute any Open Game Content originally distributed under any version of this License.” But the updated OGL says that “this agreement is…an update to the previously available OGL 1.0(a), which is no longer an authorized license agreement.”

> The new document clarifies further in the “Warranties” section that “this agreement governs Your use of the Licensed Content and, unless otherwise stated in this agreement, any prior agreements between Us and You are no longer in force.”

The hinge of the trap in OGL 1.0a is the "any authorized version" part, here in its more full context:[1]

Hasbro has the money to make legal challenges to that prohibitive, and no other company in the space has remotely similar resources. Good luck, suckers!

For Java, I used to write `list = yourFunctionReturningThatSet();` and then have the IDE fill in the type when it complains about the undefined variable.
You could also use CScope or grep for the constant's variable name. I don't consider an IDE to be particularly specialized, but you do you, I hate it when people tell me I'm using the wrong IDE, so I'm not going to tell you to use an IDE.

To be clear, I grep for things all the time, even though I use an IDE.

Imagining movie style capers like this is emotionally engaging but pretty distant from the reality of these situations. Assuming you can put lightning into a bottle is extremely dangerous. Most police work involves a lot of methodical boring stuff, not a brilliant technical deception.

> As an educator in today's world, you go there in your mind. You think, 'What if? What am I going to do if that becomes reality?'

Continuing to engage with the memetic virus in such a way will all but guarantee it becomes reality. Not only do I think technological solutions won't really be much of a solution, I worry that engaging like that only makes it more likely. As a thought experiment, I wonder what would happen if we just collectively more-or-less ignored such events, as a society. Two line sanitized blurb in the papers. Detached 30 second report on the news. Never talk about the accused in detail. If their motive is some twisted sense of revenge or attention, and I think it often is, wouldn't that be a major deterrent? A big collective shrug. Like a train derailment. Awful, but also emotionally flat, really. Sorrow, yes, but rarely anger or particularized fear. The way we do it now? Enact your revenge on society and your face will be everywhere, the most hated man in the country, for a few minutes anyway. Changing policy in fear? Continually accommodating it as if they are a force of nature we must structure society around? It's practically a reward.
You can petition the court once every 3 years or so, and they look at your average income over the previous 3.

I am not a lawyer but I think you would have to get the version of the agreements you had to click through in order to create an account and let a lawyer review them to see what you may have waived or what promises they made. After that your lawyer would have to prove damages and get a court to hear the case.

I wish we lived in a world where it was possible not to care about what billionaires like Musk did, but capitalism has placed civilization at their feet to dispose of as they will, and Musk in particular controls a primary engine of political communication, propaganda and discourse shaping for the Western world, so the rest of us should care at least a little.

After Sim established Creative Technology as a computer repair shop back in 1981, the company has then developed a series of PCs called Cubic between 1984 to 1986. However, things only picked up a few years later with the introduction of the Sound Blaster sound card in 1989.
I'm mostly using small companies where it's the owner and maybe his son or 1-2 employees doing the work. Likewise my BIL has his own company that's just him and his best friend.

when I buy alcohol they look at my id but they don't take down my name. same with a strip club, bar

There is no record of if I'm in to whisky or vodka, whether I bought $2 wine or $75 wine. Whether I had one drink at the bar or 6 drinks. Whether I looked at blondes, brunettes, men or women.

but all of that is recorded online.

In otherwords it's different online because the situation is different. I'd prefer there be no record of if I watched straight or gay, white, black, asian, women only, men only, group, single, or couples, etc....
> This type of behavior is consistent with numerous projects, including Firefox, the Linux kernel, KDE and many, many others.

No, it's not. KDE will work with you to add any reasonable feature that most people would find useful, even at risk of introducing a few bugs here and there. (Gnome ends up having a similar amount of bugs anyway). You can very easily turn KDE into any other desktop you want, even gnome or windows. It provides one preferred oob experience however
I used to do this all the time as a kid! I was way more interested in the scifi/fantasy aspect and the social sciences aspect, and I really didn't want to get into tech at all. Either way, the sad truth is that for most of us language nuts it will always be a hobby. The real linguistics related careers are more about analyzing current active languages, or social sciencey things about language.

I guess the only lucrative thing I can think of would be marketing, but getting high enough on the marketing ladder to be in charge of naming stuff and making choices about how to describe products is a career nightmare imo.

I agree with the potential for programming research stuff, but if he's like me he probably won't really feel like learning enough programming to make it useful until he's like 30. I think a big thing for me was thinking about all the different interests I have, and the fact that my biggest interests aren't going to be my career... and then learning that my career is only part of my identity, and it's actually ok to identify more strongly with your hobbies (I'm a guitarist/writer/conlanger) than your career. Growing up academically gifted and then putting so much into college really pushes people into making their career their whole personality, and I think that's something that stresses a lot of people in education and entry-level situations.

A masterpiece of consumer behavior change in three acts:

Act 1: Introduce EarPods that look just like AirPods will but with a cord.

Act 2: Remove the headphone plug from iPhone (pre-packaging new and maligned lightning-based EarPods and adapters - all at decent margins).

Final (Act 3): Finally, introduce AirPods to a receptive audience - which is not only wireless (no cord to get tied up with your keys/hands) but looks just like the EarPods and doesn't require a damn adapter.

Let's all evaluate trades people based on this one anecdote!
Does the US speaker of the House need to be in Congress?
Laptops use lpddr, which uses much less power than a desktop dimm. That said they’re also saying in standby which represents and massive power reduction as clocks are dropped to minimum and the OS can shutdown unused banks.

So available battery/desktop dimm power usage is not the right maths to be using here.

I’m not saying they aren’t exaggerating or anything, but in general marketing information is always technically correct, even if you would not get that perf in real life so outright falsehood should indicate your base assumptions can be wrong
It's not about searching for specific values either. Sometimes you find some unknown value that's not reflected in the out of date or simply wrong datasheet. What does it do? Well, it's quite likely it does something related to other values that use the same mask, so you can try to figure out the mask by searching for lexical subsets of the value, which because of the magic of base 16 is an extremely effective strategy in finding related things. Much harder now with underscores.

And it's also about being able to search Google for a found constant, which indexes other people's code. There have been plenty of occasions where I found newer version of proprietary driver code that the hardware manufacturer claimed it either lost or doesn't exist and won't provide to us by simple searching for constants on Google...

But more often is to just find drivers from other operating systems that already support that device, or mailing lists or forums where other people try to reverse engineer the device.
It's not unheard of either and likely makes very little difference in the actual discoverability of the document.

As I see it, the problem is that those companies are effectively monopolies in fields most of us depend on. If Apple or Google refuses service to someone previously reliant on their services, they could be locked out of accounts on a plethora of other services, have their payments to third parties disabled, lose access to major means of communication, and more.

The last generation of big tech monopoly never had that kind of power. Microsoft couldn't even do much to block someone from using its products as most of them were sold through third parties and didn't require network services to operate.
A nice alternative I've seen is that negative index is an error, but there is special syntax for indexing from the back like array[end], array[end-1], array[end-n], where n is a (positive) variable. Likewise, end can be used in range definitions like array[5:end]. Julia and Matlab both have this.

huh well. stuff like this just makes me very insecure at times.

My partner is Swedish but she was born in Hungary I'm currently a resident of Australia but originally from India and plan to move to Sweden sometime later. Both of us speak Swedish are fairly integrated into the culture.

Maybe you're implying that only x% of the population must be born outside, non-ethnical Swedes.
It was a complete waste of time, an overtly politicised act which bore no relationship to either popular sentiment, industry needs or even revenue outcome to the state.

In every sense, a stupid plan. About the only more stupid one would be to try and sell the BBC, even as a shadow of its former glory still a bastion of popular sentiment. Yes, there are now hoards of cordcutters who resent the licence fee. No, it does not translate to a vote winner. Just imagine every BBC icon (overpaid or not) queueing up behind David Attenborough to sell why it's a bad idea.

The Tory government needed a distraction. Within limits it worked, much as hitting yourself in the face does to hide away your footwork. Massive own goal stuff.

I agree that kebab variables aren't to my taste either, but I am partial to the notion of kebab-case keywords that I encountered in a JEP draft [0]. It suggests expanding the keyword vocabulary with a form that is otherwise invalid syntax, similar to how java treats module-info.java and package-info.java as valid files, but rejects any other hyphenated java class filename.

> And my point is that this is way, way harder

That is the point I am trying to get to without giving away specifics. The reason you see homegrown communications networks in Mexico is because it is trivial for the DEA to identify members of smuggling operations by way of cell phone TTPs. DEA obtains both explicit and unauthorized access to cellular networks in foreign countries. At that point it is a pretty trivial pattern matching problem which allows you to identify persons of interest and track them going forward.

They do use large scale "direction finding" to identify radios used by smuggling operations, but that is primarily targeted at boats with higher power transmitters.
wonderful to hear! So any word on correctness or nah?

Right, the calling code needs to handle its own integer overflows, of course. And if your circular array has a size other than a power of 2 you can get only a partial enumeration in the cycle that includes overflow. Sure. But are you really indexing an array of unknown size with a uint8? It's really impossible that there might be more than 255 things you ever care about? No. Everyone who is using a uint8 to index arrays is either doing something extremely low-level and fiddly where abstractions like this simply don't apply, or they're idiots who are doing cargo-cult shotgun "optimization" because they don't know how to write code that works.

If you're indexing with a [u]int32 you need to worry about this once every 4 billion increments, and if an incomplete cycle is a show-stopper for you, you can compute a safe modulo yourself based on the size(s) of your circular array(s), but more likely you just need something else. But really, you don't care if your cache hiccups a little once every 4 billion caches.

You make a good point, of course, I'm just allergic to people poking holes in back-of-the-napkin explanations of things with the trite "but integers can overflow!" It's one of those most common well actuallys written on this site. Of course integers can overflow. They almost never do though, do they? And if they do, a test fails and you add a single line somewhere to fix it.

I really think the vast majority of programmers are too often thinking about bits when they should be thinking about math.
