It's a fault in their UI and UX design. They could say e.g. "The Australian version of movie X is not available to download in your current region (Canada) due to licensing limitations. You may still download your purchase from wi

That is assuming that false positives for small artists are something that the big EU publishers worry about. They don't. Destroying the public domain and indie works is acceptable collateral damage for the politicians and a desired se

It's a bit ironic, since the very first thing I see when I visit the link is a giant banner to consent to being tracked, or visit each and every third-party advertiser's opt-out site from the giant list of advertisers present on V

Protestant work ethic would also absolutely recognise taking care of your family as "work". In fact, it would recognise nearly anything that keeps you non-idle and isn't done purely for pleasure as work. The requirement to be

X2Go (the OSS fork of "nx - no machine") works really well over a network. Though I really think it might be best to do the rendering client-side and push video frames. Though I do concede that the two models are really two separa

X11 doesn't have native controls. The closest would be motif, or Xaw, but nobody sane uses those. GTK and Qt are both equally "native". Chrome uses its own GTK-derived UI lib, IIRC . As long as OP's ui implements accessi

Yes, but a lot more working-age adults today make it to 65 than 100 years ago, which is a relevant statistic. Previously you could count on a bigger portion of workers dying before reaching retirement, so you had a smaller pool of retirees

What about the latest C++ standards :) ?

Ok, I stand corrected. However, at lower optimisation levels they do not inline memcpy calls, which might matter for you. It's never fun if the debug build is 10 times slower in a hot function...

by Asooka 8y ago
A note of warning: memcpy and memmove are not optimized away on msvc and icc. That is, every call to those functions is always a function call. Contrast to gcc and clang which always inline those calls even in no-optimizations builds. To

Farmers have always hated having to switch because doing everything an hour earlier messes with the animals. They can't simply roll everything one hour forward in the summer, because their produce has to be loaded on trucks and then tr

In typical 9-17 jobs, 12 is definitely not the middle of the practical day. I don't know anyone whose sleep schedule puts 12 at the middle of their waking period either.

Well, this change will piss off half the population, because my preferences are exactly the other way around. Astronomical time is the best, because it syncs with the sun. Summer time means having to get up too early and doesn't play w

Please no. Winters will be absolutely miserable for one. For another, my internal clock is most comfortable with waking up at 9AM. It doesn't understand numbers and clocks, so in the summer that means 10AM. Going to work at 10 is ok, b

People with engineering samples do know, so maybe bloomberg have been in contact with one? Also see the wccftech leaks. These cards seem to perform close to nVidia's own estimates so far. This isn't to say that they aren't wa

This is kind of like playing a Zachtronics game without using the sync instruction (I think each one has a "wait for signal" concept), but in real life!

Also, I'm pretty sure that COLORREF is xBGR format because colour data in memory is RGBx format and when you read it DWORD at a time on a little-endian machine, you end up with xBGR in registers. So an array of COLORREFs in memory is R

You don't even have to disable line counting explicitly, less is kind enough to tell you "counting lines is taking a long time, interrupt to disable". So you can just ctrl-c if the file is too long and you don't want to

It was a necessary evil at the time to stop the Nazis, which were a more immediate threat to the West. Note that immediately after the war, relations with the Soviets cooled significantly.

Once you think about it some more, it's not that different from any other quine. A quine is a program whose output is bytes that are shown as text to the viewer. GLSL doesn't have text rendering capabilities, but all that means is
