Flac takes a lot of space on my drive. Most people will not want to have that much data on their drive just for music. If i look at my folder now: Yanni Rainmaker Flac -> 40 MB Yanni Rainmaker Mp3 -> 3MB More than a factor 10 for a si

As others have pointed out why single out linux? Why not BSD? And second which linux? 4.14? 5.10? 6.2? Can they release it for linux 2.7 and call it a day afterwards? Supporting linux requires effort and money. How would you go about defini

Does anyone have a link to the actual legal text? I would like to know what they exacly require here. Some parts look really concerning to me like this citation: “Second, the CRTC is setting conditions for online streaming services to opera

Sadly this often happens because often times the machine works 99% of the time. So when the thing starts failing in 1% of the cases people will dismiss it because it worked in the previous 99% of the time. People have trained themselves to

Ah thank you for clarifying so you would have to create an abstraction layer on top of the current simd implementation like for example simd_vector(type, size). That abstraction would have to dynamically detect the hardware and dispatch it

Ah makes sense if you have complete control over your hardware it could make sense but with open source projects and businesses with a wide customer base it might not make sense. Compiled languages like Rust, C++ and Zig cannot detect the h

I find it baffling that to get exemption you need to win a less prestigious event than the official one. If you won worlds in league of legends you would no get the exemption no matter how many times you won it. Faker won it three times the

If you compile the code by specifying the target as native you could get around that limitation no?

Very neat, i hope this will get easier to do in the future once languages start including these SIMD semantics in the language itself like rust tries to do: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/simd/struct.Simd.html Libr

Maybe a stupid question but if songtradr focuses more on B2B licensing of music could't they hammer out exclusive deals and remove the music entirely from end customer catalog? I mainly think about licensing it to other streaming servi

Having a small project with a low to no amount of users certainly allows you to play with more novel ideas that might put off certain users (especially if the solution has stability issues at first). I feel that his second point regarding c

I think you could achieve the former more easily than you think. If we suppose you can gene edit to have certain characteristics. Why could they not add birth defects like heart problems and cancer? They then die from a heart attack at 30.

It could become focused if the situation justifies it. It does not have to start immediately as the dark plot described. Let us say we have a massive amount of casualties due to some accident. So as an emergency the government suggests to c

I did not actually think that far. It would pose the question of education with the government potentially brainwashing the new born to keep the current government in power. Is it still a democracy if people have free vote but the governmen

A lot of behaviors can lead to good and bad outcomes. We give guns to policemen to protect citizen. They might also misuse it. We write rules that govern these behaviors to avoid or minimize the bad outcomes. In this scenario we already hav

It depends on the reasons why people do not have kids. This technique would allow gay couples to have kids for example which currently they cannot without adoption in the male case. I wonder as well how many people do not have kids because

I can see the first attempt being immoral as we did not know how the first kids born using that method would turn out. In certain circumstances like using an IVF on older women in their menopause you could also qualify it as immoral due to
