Yeah, I'd love to do that kind of stuff for a living. Not sure if I'd be good enough though. I'm fluent in x86 assembly and do quite a lot of debugging on that level, but reverse engineering remains a tough problem.

We already have guaranteed minimum income. Look at the people employed by the state. Doing mundane tasks, day by day, that could be automated cheaply and effortlessly. Literally sorting and storing documents, something the computer is profi

As far as I know, they don't emulate Xbox 360 games on Xbox One, they port and compile it for the new console, creating entirely new binaries. Not much emulation going on there. Correct me if I'm wrong. EDIT: https://en

Am I the only one who just wants their desktop to look like Windows 95 for the next 50 years? Except maybe a bit more bit depth and DPI. This design is simply unsurpassed and everything new that comes out is a step back. There is one featur

You're right. I didn't want to mention precision because it's a whole other can of worms, but one worth knowing how to deal with. I was looking at it from a mathematician's point of view, using rational numbers.

You also have a similar problem when you render opaque, rectangular images without the clamp edge mode, and the renderer is in tiling mode, so the borders wrap around when your picture is halfway between pixels and become a mix between the

That is a great page. Is there also such a page for Linux and Mac OS?

Can you also justify murder with that or only destruction of property?

People who disregard other people's property and cause vast destruction because of their ideology are never right. I have no respect for them. There are non-destructive ways to bring your message across in this situation. A society wit

I just wanted to say that I agree with you and I find your point perfectly respectable, and I have no idea why you get downvoted.

Another clear example of someone who did not comprehend my point, writing a message in disagreement when in fact it is precisely what I meant. Sigh... Interacting with other humans is difficult.

You cannot remove the burden to think for oneself from people. Fining people who give wrong advice sets a really dangerous precedent. What is wrong? Will we start fining climate change deniers? What about fining people who believe that cert

Nobody who is not mentally disabled and owns a PC with an internet connection "wants to learn to code but can't". What about showing initiative and teach yourself with one of the infinite resources available on the internet?

So little information. We will have to wait until this is patched to know more about it, won't we.

Idk why I'm being downvoted either. I bet in 2 years there will be a blog post which refines the idea I outlined above and it will be on top of HN and everyone will agree with it. That's how HN works.

I don't know why HFT exists at all. I would just pass a law that forces a bit of random latency/noice in the market data, in the order of seconds (in a similar way as GPS has artificial inaccuracy). Normal people are not gonna not

Giving back the source code is like burying an ancient Egyptian mummy you just found. Of course the Pharaohs would protest you taking away the mummy but who cares? It is about preserving culture and making its intricate details visible to e

I wouldn't have returned the source code for 10000$, let alone a measly 250$.

More caffeine! Jokes aside (or was it a joke at all?), you need a goal. Implementing a good feature and improving the software, reaching a position, earn money for a greater good, etc. Something that injects passion into your daily life.

There is no reason why such a simple interface cannot be native. The fact that you drag along the entire browser engine with HTML and CSS just boggles my mind. If a message cannot be sent because of minor latency problems, the discord clien

If you say "the best" that also includes being good at teamwork. Great programmers write great interfaces anyway and are highly flexible.
