The question you need to ask, how would this profit Google? It's an advanced setting that would need user interaction, a fraction of them would do this. This "Enhanced Confirmation" is also about automatic restriction.
Isn't there an obfuscated C or Perl competition program that also estimates pi by measuring its own code in some way?

What Is FlatBuffers? – That One Game Dev

Many flats here in Europe have windows that don't open. Don't tell me I can open the windows in a NYC skyscraper
Yup. And I think I have. :-)
Reasonable, but I can't help thinking that the expectation here is that most users won't do anything about the restriction - the net effect is to discourage developers from sideloading altogether.
Here is what you said:

"Anyone who talks about class traitors, or almost any sort of traitor, outside of a real war, is deeply misguided on this point."

This is where you appear to imply you're ignorant of class traitorship. If you truly knew what it was - which you claim elsewhere to know - then you would know it doesn't require a war. Class traitors are non-capitalists who collaborate with capitalists against workers. They can do that during peace.

Now forgive me if the following explanation is unnecessary:

When someone uses a term in a misguided way we can say they made a faux pas. When you claim the author is misguided for talking about class traitors outside of war, you're implying they have made a faux pas.

But the author is making no mistake. Class traitors exist in peace time as well, as I mentioned.

So if you know what a class traitor is, then admit the author is not misguided. If you can't make that admission, you have misunderstood the nature of class traitorship.
I'm a big fan of how iOS lets you decide which images are available from the camera roll. So the app can have "access" to the camera roll but there is that intermediate stage where I can scope down which images are in it.
Why a flag? In what case would you turn that analysis off separately from other optimizations?
> Let's turn the question around: why would car makers want to...

The tech giants are not component suppliers you can symbiotically partner with to add value to your product. They are predatory and parasitic goliaths. They are wolves more powerful than governments with designs on your hen-house. It is frankly insane to let them own the primary interface to your customer and auto will likely regret letting them get this far.

Google/Apple infotainment ventures cannot even be called trojan horses given how open they are in their investments and desires to seize the auto industry the moment tech/profit makes it feasible. Unattractive low-margin manufacturing keeps them at bay but they are gambling on "software eats the world" long-term. For now, they will drain every available high margin service for themselves.

Nice project! You state that your looking for someone to opensource it. Whats keeping you from just gitlab pushing your stuff? :) Would possibly be interested in recreating this.
I think compilers should be smart enough to substitute group-shared atomics with horizontal ops. If it's not already doing it, it should be!

But anyways, Histogram Pyramids is a more efficient algorithm for implementing parallel scan anyways. It essentially builds a series of 3D buffers, each having half the dimension of the previous level, and each value containing the sum of the amounts in each underlying cells, with the top cube being just a single value, the total amount of cells.

Then instead of doing the second pass where you figure out what index thread is supposed to write to, and writing it to a buffer, you just simply drill down into said cubes and figure out the index at the invocation of the meshing part by looking at your thread index (lets say 1526), and looking at the 8 smaller cubes (okay, cube 1 has 516 entries, so 1100 to go, cube 2 has 1031 entries, so 69 to go, cube 3 has 225 entries, so we go to cube 3), and recursively repeat until you find the index. Since all threads in a group tend go into the same cubes, all threads tend to read the same bits of memory until getting down to the bottom levels, making it very GPU cache friendly (divergent reads kill GPGPU perf).

Forgive me if I got the technical terminology wrong, I haven't actually worked on GPGPU in more than a decade, but it's fun to not that something that I did cca 2011 as an undergrad is suddenly relevant again (in which I implemented HistoPyramids from a 2007ish paper, and Marching Cubes, an 1980s algorithm). Everything old is new again.

Another is to watch a streamer on Twitch and try to get that you would like to do.
Indeed, but I think even that advice, with context, is pretty debatable. Obviously one should prioritize critical sections, but completely ignoring those "small efficiencies" is certainly a big part of how we got to where we are today in software performance. A 10% jump in performance is huge; whether that comes from a single 10% jump, or a hundred 0.1% jumps - it's exactly the same!

So referencing something in particular from Unreal Engine, they actually created a caching system for converting between a quaternion and a rotator (euler rotation)! Obviously that sort of conversion isn't going to, in a million years, be even close to a bottleneck. That conversion is quite cheap on modern hardware, and so that caching system probably only gives the engine one of those 0.1% boosts in performance. But there are literally thousands of these "small efficiencies" spread all throughout the code. And it yields a final product that runs dramatically better than comparable engines.
Does that make any sense?

If unemployment is people looking divided by people available and you remove people available, you're increasing unemployment.

Regardless. Don't be shocked. Changing the definition over time isnt in itself a problem - in all aspects of life we have to adapt as we go. What would be a problem is if the government is changing the definition in order to give a certain appearance. Let me know if you think you have evidence of that.

This post is garbage. It's written in order to suggest something nefarious, though no such evidence is present. As an example, look at this:

> The payroll numbers released by the BLS also show a similar story. Overall, there appears to be job growth on the surface, but when we look under the hood, part time workers are increasing, while full-time employment keeps falling.

The author's looks at aggregates and when he breaks it down it looks different. Whose fault is it for the initial erroneous interpretation of the data? But all through out he presents it as deception.

Depends where in Europe; high speed rail having a bunch of stops in a single city is a _little_ unusual, I think. However, the station would likely at least be linked into the local transport system in most countries.
It's the car I'm pretty sure. If anyone has another take I'd love to hear what they think, but I've used many implementations of CarPlay and have never encountered what you're describing.
As somebody who doesn't live in the US and only has the (likely very distorted) view of US schools we get from your series/movies, I would say doing things against bullying is a good thing. I always find revolting to watch how "normalized" seems to be the school bully form the football team. But again: this is what Hollywood is projecting... I hope to be very wrong on it.
> Absolutely don't tolerate abuse and set out your stall early on but I don't think the response is to fire the first volley, but to shutdown an abuser quickly.

Well, by "abuse the crap out of abusers" I certainly didn't mean you should "fire the first volley". You can't know that someone is an abuser before they have fired the first volley. Then you fire the second one, to shut them down.

> don't direct your product at programmers / hackers / geeks

On the contrary! My users are programmers/hackers/geeks. The difference is that they use my software to create (experimental) art. Many have a non-technical background, though. I guess that creates (or requires?) a whole different mindset. These people are genuinely happy that the software exists because it helps them to be creative and express themselves.

> So you, as opposed to your customers, are just as grumpy and rude as the rest of us...? ;-)

My background is in music, so I am not really a typical tech guy (although I've been programming since I was a kid). I might be a bit grumpy at times, but that's because I am from Austria :p
I've tried a few times to get into this but honestly it's very very difficult. You pretty much need to have a degree in formal verification to be able to actually verify anything except toy examples. I kept hitting cases where things wouldn't verify, and the reason is due to something deep in the implementation that really only the authors would know about.

Also the language is huge, and while it's quite well documented, the level of documentation you want for this is far more than for a normal language.

On the plus side, the authors are really helpful on Github, and the IDE support in VSCode is great.
> Class traitors are non-capitalists who collaborate with capitalists against workers. They can do that during peace.

I think this is deeply misguided.
We absolutely know how to do megaprojects, but unless you _really_ have to, you don't want to do a megaproject. They've _always_ been a bit fraught; it's not like there was a golden age where they were easy and had a low failure rate.

The mistake Adobe made was in canceling Flash instead of open sourcing it. Publish a spec and the let browsers implement the client side, then you can keep selling tools to make animations without everyone having to deal with the bug-riddled proprietary player Adobe clearly had no interest in properly maintaining to begin with.

It's kind of astonishing that all these years later we still don't have something equivalent in browsers. In theory they're Turing-complete and you can do whatever you want, but where's the thing that makes it that easy?

Yes, if you're willing to jump through scare dialogs and search for where in the UI to find "hidden" settings, you can manually override it per app as before.
One of the heaviest rail, if not the heaviest rail in Europe, is a 500km combined freight and passenger rail that goes between Sweden and Norway (The Iron Ore Line). It alone carries more than the combined weight of all rail freight transportation in Norway, and close to 50% of all rail freight transportation in Sweden. It also happens to be one of the worlds oldest railways, built in 1888.

The biggest issue is speed. The maximum speed is just slightly above that of maximum highway speed, with freight speed limited to less than half of that.
I got a sleeper from Chicago to California (but not between Chicago and Massachusetts) more than 20 years ago and I thought the experience was nice.

That's all of 30km of maglev track. It opened over 20 years ago, and there doesn't seem to be much interest in doing any more. By contrast, there's about _60,000km_ of 'normal' (~300km/h max) high-speed rail. It would really be pretty _weird_ for the US to try beyond-cutting-edge for its first attempt at a real high-speed rail system, and would probably end badly.
Why can't we have a car that only has:

(a) a standardized mechanism for attaching and powering your phone on its dashboard (think a "mini VESA mount" with options for USB/wireless charging)

(b) bluetooth HID-compatible physical controls on the steering wheel and/or center console so you don't have to reach for your device

(c) a minified car "radio" that only offers AM/FM radio and bluetooth audio connectivity

All other controls should be physical, copied straight out of a 90s/00s car.

GraphenOS offers that, since the Playstore/Google Applications are non privileged applications.

In France, it depends a lot on the lines : Paris-Lyon has average of 270 km/h (167 mph); Paris-Bordeaux clock at around 300 km/h (186 mph) while Paris-Brest is more at 200 (124 mph).
It is interesting to note that it often seems ti correlate to the age of the line, with Paris-Bordeaux being the most recent.

Some linkers can be instructed to leave the relocation sections in the output (-q/--emit-relocs for gold/mold), but it's extremely unlikely that an artifact you would care about was built with this obscure option.

I'm mostly using this delinking technique on PlayStation video games, Linux programs from the 90s and my own test programs, so I'm not that worried about security implications in my case. If you're stuffing bits and pieces taken from artifacts with questionable origins into programs and then execute them without due diligence, that's another story.

In 2023 the revenues of Google Cloud, Youtube Ads and "Google Other" and Google Network Members Ads were 130B combined.

If they could reduce headcount and operating expenditures to 2019 levels without losing that, they would be roughly breaking even without any search. They also have 280B$ in equity to tide them over.

Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. It often shows you the graph and then you try to show the link to someone else and it tries to get them to swipe their card as if anybody is going to do that. Meanwhile it ranks highly in Google search results instead of some other site that contains the same information without the bait and switch, because Google has completely lost the ability to produce quality search results.

Maybe it's time to switch to a competitor.

Dummy/empty data is already a thing in Android if I'm not mistaken. It just needs ADB/App Ops to activate it.

There's three states of permissions in android land from a permission request perspective:

* Granted. Just full access to all things behind the permission, no questions asked.

* Ignore. Returns no rejection, but all permission-restricted functions will return no/default data. This can technically be checked for by the app but usually isn't.

* Deny. No data, return an explicit error to the app to tell them the permission isn't granted.

For some reason that second one isn't available for the default UX; you need to manually set it with ADB or use App Ops to do it.
