I would expect them to simply limit streaming quality without having an account to their standards. They tried locking 4K video behind a paywall before and people were upset, but locking it behind an account (plus WEI, but 99% of users won't know the difference) seems like it wouldn't cause outrage.
I conversely think it's much better that it's made by just one very opinionated person. Sure, one could argue that some stuff is "wrong" but does it really matter when it's all so arbitrary anyway? I'm more interested in Ishkur's take on things than 100% correctness.

FWIW I also don't think artists themselves should be some kind of final arbiters on what genre their music is; "death of the author" and all that. Early italo disco musicians would probably not "correctly" categorize their music as something new and separate from the disco they were trying to emulate, for example.
Woof. What an alternate universe you occupy.
Modifying the game code is a red line, too. I don't think that VAC allows this at all, and for good reason.
You didn't do any IT work in the late 90s I guess? During the dotcom boom and Y2K hype it was major money. I was only starting so I didn't make a lot but every job came with a company car. They were screaming for people.

There was a bit of a lull pre crisis but even in 2008 I wrote custom callcenter integrations and it was really good money. About 50k euro plus car. And this was in Holland, nothing like London kind of money.
I think you are underestimating the difference being in range of German bombing has made to our respective countries attitude to urban resilience, and to the other commenter, our attitude to real ruins. Detroit has but a flesh wound.

It’s quite hard with such low quality footage. I think could be done is use some sort of algorithm to stop that sort of wavy chemical look that might be beyond me anyway that video did clean up a bit!

Assuming you're talking about engineering tasks, here is some miscellaneous advice to help you work more efficiently[^1]:

- Develop mental models. Build heuristics. They allow you to recognize common scenarios more quickly and iterate on known solutions, instead of starting from scratch.

- Write down high-level lessons from a project. Focus on generalizing the lessons.

- Figure out how many "fucks to give" you have in a given time period. If one can complete 1 unit of work per day, then they can probably exceed that amount by 50% periodically, but will need an equal or greater amount of time to recover for the next few days. This also applies to weeks, months, and the year.

- Take extended breaks from programming and computer science. Think about other things. Hopefully you have some unrelated hobbies, if not spend some time developing them.

Programming is a marathon, not a sprint. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Lastly, not to plug my website[^2], but hopefully this is relevant: https://ashwinsundar.com/blog/compiled/learning-hard-things....

For Von Neumann, the inspiration for game theory was poker, a game he played occasionally and not terribly well. Von Neumann realized that poker was not guided by probability theory alone, as an unfortunate player who would use only probability theory would find out. Von Neumann wanted to formalize the idea of "bluffing," a strategy that is meant to deceive the other players and hide information from them.

https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/soco/project...

I learned about Von Neumann and poker from the book "Thinking in Bets" by Annie Duke.

You have to have been raised pretty sweetly to not have known this kind of racketeering was a 'thing' for a very long time. Pressure to hire cops is rampant. 'rent-a-cop' is not aimed at the fact that security companies apply aggressive mimicry to their people, but that these people are themselves often off-duty cops. Security companies are strongly "encouraged" to hire off-duty cops, and find themselves left out to dry or otherwise 'convinced' if they try to resist.

Before you add 'Why don't [you|they] do...' responses, recognize for a moment that the police in the U.S. are largely out of control, have undue control of local government and politics, and have an ideology that enforces self-righteousness and an 'enemy at the gates' siege mentality, and oh yeah, are able to apply violence at a level unmatched in society. These are not polite people, and the way one 'deals' with them has far more in common with radical militias rather than state bureaucrats. If you haven't encountered that, you're just lucky enough to have never threatened their interests.

Old school comment... back in the day, there were computers on which dereferencing the null pointer would in fact return zero. And given that a typical linked list is terminated by a null, mistakes could creep in where "points to a 0" was checked when "pointer is 0" should have been. Needless to say, code like this would crash in mysterious ways when compiled on a machine where location 0, while readable, had nonzero contents. The alternative, getting a segfault because 0 wasn't mapped, is preferable because then you see the problem right away.

Anyhow it's just barely possible that this assignment was a hack to make this sort of code work on a machine where address 0 is (uninitialized) nonzero and can be harmlessly made zero.
Kind of reminds me of the guy who owned graphics.com who would get requests from people who wrote //graphics/foo.gif instead of /graphics/foo.gif (Netscape and/or IE would, in those days, transform graphics into graphics.com when it couldn’t find the domain graphics). He set it up so that he would serve up an image informing the consumer that they had a malformed link and would get angry emails from webmasters (remember that term?) claiming he had hacked their sites.
None of these seem particularly horrifying?

Well wrong twice over. Direct "gasoline" tax is $0.77 in California. Further there's an excise tax, a greenhouse gas tax and so on. So $1.18 per gallon directly for gas...

But hold on, California also taxes underground storage tanks, the transportation of gasoline, and so on.

It doesn't cost $4/gal to transport gas from Texas to California. Your gas station owners aren't making that much profit.
You chose to come into a thread about MariaDB, you wrote some verifiably factually incorrect statements about MySQL, and then you complain about not having the energy to discuss further?

I took time out of my Sunday to write a fact-based rebuttal to your false claims in this thread. The dates in my comment are all verifiable on Wikipedia, among other places. And yet your response is childish repetition, followed by a citationless comment claiming that my own comment was misinformation.

Since you're a Golang enthusiast (as am I), perhaps I can reframe this in a more relatable way. Imagine that it's the year 2035, and there's an HN thread about Golang. Some Go-hater chimes in that no one should ever trust Go because of decades of misleading marketing ("no one needs generics!"), GOPATH being stupid, and lack of a module dependency system. What would your response to this be in 2035, knowing full well that these issues were far in the past and that the claim of "decades" is at best an extreme exaggeration?
I wonder if 'hostile' is the right word, but I certainly agree that very functional things felt oddly missing.

Not directly, but COPRA which they compare to (and show about 3% more theorems proved than) is based on GPT-4 using an agent framework. And in the COPRA paper, they compare to using GPT-4 directly as a one-shot, and find it can only get 10% of theorems in miniF2F, as opposed to 23% with their agent based approach. So if the eval line up correctly, we would see GPT-4 one-shot proving 10.6% of theorems in miniF2F, as opposed to Llemma-7b proving 26.23%, a pretty significant improvement. Still not as good as other specialized tools though, especially when you look at tools in other theorem proving languages (see my other comment for more detail about a cross-language comparison).

It's only impractical if you actually require end users to understand and apply all of these technologies. It's a lot more tractable if they're abstracted away.

The fact is that developers very (very) rarely have to interface directly with TLS or the Signal protocol, yet billions of non-technical users implicitly use them in our browsers and via Signal or WhatsApp.

In my view, the challenge in the adoption of secure/private-by-design tech is the simplicity and usability of the interfaces and the capabilities these tools provide.

We need secure tools to compete on capability in order to garner mass usage. Without (significant) feature superiority there's little reason for users to make the switch. I'm actively trying to solve some of these problems at Backbone [0]; aiming to build a usable, secure experience for end users and a simple, robust end-to-end-encryption interface for developers.

And i have to say it has made me feel rage , sometimes I have to make a transaction and this requires authorization. I have had multiple instances where when i switch to the bank app to authorize a transaction and switch back the app I was paying for refreshes and forgets I made the transaction.

And it only seems to get worse with each update as devs add more things underneath apps for collecting marketing data, error data etc.

If I go deep into the app settings and remove consent for various trackers the apps run noticeably faster.

The worst I seen was dating app that had a dropdown with hundreds of different 3rd party trackers.

Huh? You have to pay property taxes now and those could end up being too high for subsequent generations to afford. That happens all the time and is a common reason why property gets subdivided. This is simply a question of whether the value of structures on that land should be included.

If anything a pure land value tax should be more predictable than a property tax, I got hit with a major property tax increase and looked into it, the town had calculated the new property tax based on an incorrect square footage and number of bedrooms for my house. After filing an appeal and going to court I got it fixed, but that was a more capricious process than if it was simply based on the value of the land under the house.

It’s true and it’s sad.

California just passed a law that I think should be nationalized to address this issue.

Combined with earlier laws that give you the legal right to build a jadu and an ADU on your property (provided they fit) I genuinely see it as a common sense approach we can do now to lowering the cost of housing.

If we have a downturn it’s going to go from the current unacceptable level to completely terrible and it’s honestly already a serious crisis.

> Why does Pendulum (a band) get a node on here? There is no such genre as Pendulum.

The guide actually explains that if you click on the dot:

"Pendulum is not the name of this genre. It's technically called Nu Jumpup or Nu Skool Jumpup but I call it Pendulum because Pendulum is more than just an artist or a genre.

It is an event.

It is one of those events that is so monumental that when people talk about history, they unconsciously draw a line between stuff that happened before the event and stuff that happened after (ie: "we are living in a post X world", where X is something earth-shattering like the atomic bomb or 9/11). We are witness to one of these life-changing events in Drum n Bass. Welcome to the Pendulum Age."

Yeah, it's hard to test psychological theories. But all we really have to do is watch out for people who make dire predictions about the environment without substantial evidence. Sure, that's not perfect but it'll catch most of the offenders.

Doesn't every reasonable person "value ecology above economy"? Choose between A. rich + living in a desolate hellscape with no plants/animals and B. not rich + living in a nice green area with lots of nature nearby. Everyone is going with B! As soon as hunger and cold are no longer serious problems, every reasonable person starts to prioritize nature.

Between the 5.5 Komi vs 6.5 Komi debate, its not very clear if Go has a 1st-player advantage or a 2nd-player advantage.

Superhuman strength AI-Go has given us more data on this subject (suggesting 6.5 Komi is balanced). Since both players are balanced as far as we can tell (first turn starts off with a 6.5 point disadvantage, and the half-point difference forces a winner. No draws), it doesn't really matter who goes first.

If in the future, a super-super AI performs deeper analysis and determines say... 7.5 Komi is the best, I'm sure that Go players all around would update the game rules as appropriate to the new understanding of what a balanced game is. (After all, 6.5 Komi itself is an experiment, albeit the most successful experiment, for balancing the game).

Why not just "out" them and provide a link to the original domain?

"To play Sqword, please visit <domain> directly. You are currently visiting a site that has put ads around the original game without the game creator's consent."

To be fair, that has a twisted logic to it. Videos you have no interest in watching definitely qualify as "something different" compared to ones you do watch.
In the event that the CPU is faster than the GPU, the CPU run ahead of the GPU and queue multiple frames to render, regardless of adaptive sync or not. This adds lag. Adaptive sync or high Hz only gets rid of up to one frame of delay from vsync timing, not delay from excess frame queuing.

What Anti-Lag does is throttle the CPU work to reduce this delay to as low as sub-frame, so it doesn't process input and begin frame processing until closer to display time -- so the game starts frame updates with fresher input and gets those frames out with less delay. Graphics APIs often only allow setting the frame queue length in an integer number of frames and it can be difficult to reliably tell when frames present and control frame queuing, especially with a compositor involved. This has the graphics driver involved, so it knows the absolute truth of when frames hit the output.
I understand what the parent is saying.

But if you can execute on an idea then yes, you probably do have broad intelligence. You can manage people, file paperwork, perform your core business, strategize about the future, handle setbacks and so on.

It's not like uber execs are only skilled in driving cars back and forth. They have and use all the required skills to successfully execute on an idea - which is a lot of skills!

And yes, timidity is a strike against broad skills and capabilities because you grow skills by using them. If you're an armchair general then you've never actually grown your skills, you've only ever roleplayed. Actual engagement has costs and comes with losses, recovering from losses and trying new strategies.

So selling GPL software is unethical, but selling proprietary software is? That's an unusual point of view!

I don't have WP experience and don't understand what "splits up the repos which messes with the upgrade structure" means. I can sort of understand the argument that not buying a new license can prevent upgrades, but, I still think it's within the spirit of the GPL. As a user of said plugin, you can choose to make the necessary changes yourself (or hire someone for it). Or look for a gratis alternative.

To me it sounds like the GPL is doing exactly what it was designed for.

While I normatively agree with you that that’s the way it should work, that isn’t how these things go. This kind of pseudo corruption is extremely common because it’s easy to make shitty arguments that pass first inspection (oh we need the police there for public safety, think of the children, oh a bird! look over there!). They drag it out into a years long appeals process where they grind the plaintiff down and eventually they settle for no wrongdoing and attorneys fees and change, and now you get your business license back and have a hostile local PD.
