Isn't that part of the point? Right now there is an incredible power imbalance between employers and employees, where for the employer it's an inconvenience if they lose the employee, while for the employee it's loss of acces

It can definitely have real world consequences, but couldn't the same be said for somebody being a whistleblower for a company that doesn't following building codes? The company could take a huge financial hit and people might los

Indeed, there is something magical about a warm cup of dark coffee for me to sip while thinking over some problem. The way it's warm in my hands, the lingering somewhat bitter aftertaste, and the smell and aroma from the cup.

Illegal immigrants in the US are most certainly a minority group. It's not hyperbolic and unproductive, it's the plain truth, just like the Japanese concentration camps during WW2.

He is using the correct definition of concentration camp, you are the one in error. Concentration camps have existed outside Nazi Germany. Just because that was the most horrible instance doesn't mean that other instances stopped being

The modern wheat is a product of a lot of breeding, just like we do with dogs. Because of it it's pretty different from anything you can find in nature. Wild varieties of wheat doesn't have nearly as much gluten, and the higher co

Copyleft is about maximizing the users's rights, not the developers's rights. Companies can't take linux, put it on a router for sale, and then say that their customers/users aren't allowed to know what's going

Morality questions aside, this wouldn't practically work. It would require pretty much uprooting and destroying the internet entirely. It's too easy to share "free" porn pictures on any website. We'd have to go from

While you aren't wrong, in this day and age it's not enough to simply pay. Even if you pay for something, you are still the product being sold. Why would a company leave money on the table, when violating people's privacy i

I'm not so sure I understand, because if you do have some code that a turning machine would throw for an infinite loop, wouldn't your 1% trick be the only escape the first time, second time, third time and forth time you tried to

What I think he meant is more like "either do things the functional Haskell way or you don't do them", as in, there is no non-functional fallback or alternative in the language, which some functional languages have.

Provided that there aren't any other consequences, such as emails not being delivered before you do that GET.

Also just the fact that JS runtimes have had a lot of hard work put into them to make them extremely fast (motivated by the fact that JS is so widely used on the web).

Does it actually do that? Have you read the legislation, or are you just saying what you assume it says?

While this is very cool, I'm not sure I like the name howler, as it collides with howler.js which is a library for audio. People should be a but more creative with names.

Even though it's cheaper, it doesn't mean people can afford it. Medical bills in the US aren't paid upfront like a trip to Europe, it becomes debt.

You'll face roughly the same response from denying the Holocaust happened or for saying the earth is flat. I assume you don't think those are respectable positions that deserve serious consideration. If you do, then how about peop

Quick question, who makes that embedded image, the FBI? It has a specific WeLeakInfo logo on it, so it's not just a standard image they can reuse with each domain seizure.

With the programming language Haxe and the library OpenFL you can actually create "flash" games for HTML5 using the old school flash API and everything.

Very enjoyable read. It was especially interesting seeing the obfuscation techniques the devs had created to prevent cheating using WebAssembly.

by Drakim 7y ago
Haxe is more like a traditional programming language, not an "engine" or whatever is the right term for Godot.

Very cool. I've ported it and played around a bit now. Anybody got any pointers on how I might add arbitrary flat sprites like trees to the mix?

It was the common man who shared video rentals yesterday, while it's businesses who monitor and monetize today. Just wait until you see how white collar crime is punished compared to street crimes!

Oh yes, I never meant to imply that nature vs nurture has some important moral implications. Ultimately it doesn't matter if something is the result of nature or nurture, we wouldn't let people murder if there was a "increase

Well, that's assuming that genes are all maximally expressed from the moment somebody is born, and that nothing can lie dormant, so if we don't see the behavior right away it must have been "added later" by culture. I do

I totally agree that insisting it MUST be social conditioning is close-minded and silly. We should be open minded about various possibilities in nature vs nurture. But on the other hand, lots of people have a tendency to think and say that

The people making the randomizes usually have pretty good understanding of the game and it's obstacles. By building up a logical tree of what items are needed to reach which locations, you can make sure the randomized game is possible

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but USUALLY when people say that they are silently implying "so our current system is justified".
