Serial killers kill for fun, wolves don't. Other than that,the argument is pretty sound.

Of all the predators native to the various habitats of Earth, the one I fear the most is homo sapiens...

Oh wow, I was looking for ways to do exactly this the other day.

This seems like a technical solution to what's a political problem. Those don't usually work out as one would like, or worse, get enshrined in some standard that doesn't solve anything and which makes things worse for the few

This is what I was going to suggest. C is even pretty easy to parse - you can just take the ready ANTLR grammar and use it to generate a parser in whatever language you want. Of course, he might go even one step further and specify the stru

The guy invented Intense Pulsed Light, i.e. the laser technology used in hair removal, so it sounded plausible he might have found a way to cut hair with a lower-intensity laser. Even if it cut it slowly, it might be better than razors for

You'll get less hurt in a collision with a bicycle than I would if I get hit by a car doing 100km/h with a drunk driver behind the wheel. By any measure, I should be on the sidewalk in that case and it's extremely selfish to

mpv can directly play youtube urls, so you can just do e.g. mpv --vo=null https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

If you're interested in that, see groovebasin. It only plays your local music, but it does allow multi-user access to a shared stream.

If you need to convert float to int, use an explicit rounding mode. Then adding 0.1f (or rather the closest fp approximation) ten times will round up to 10.

At least this is now not an MMO, so all dong-building will happen in people's personal worlds.

If only the british had adopted sauerkraut or other kind of acidic preserve high in Vit C as the cure for scurvy, Scott's mission might have been less of a failure.

That kind of system would be pretty sweet if it also rated the manager and let each employee review what they were doing during the day. Full transparency and ratings both ways.

North Korea also doesn't have vacations. On a more philosophical note, what good is an economy if you can't enjoy it?

How about "Labour Law"? Federally-mandated rules of employment, applying to people who work as little as one hour per month up to 175 hours per week.

"Eerie" "creepy" "scary"... You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means… Did someone pay gizmodo to write a faux-praise article, or is this shlock par for the course?

Why not just run Windows in a VM (or Linux in a VM) and be happy?

by anon4 11y ago
That's a lot of supposing for a class of developers who write for platforms without an OS, where you must set up your VM tables yourself and program the GPU manually.

You can't forgive a corporation. Corporations aren't people, they have no conscience, no morals and no ethics. The entire concept of forgiving them, or being angry at them or whatever doesn't make sense. It's like forgiv

You forgot the Direct3D vs OpenGL shenanigans that they were still trying as early as Vista. The fact that no open technology is ever good enough for Microsoft, the fact that whenever they took anything that could be remotely interoperable

I think their answer would be "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few"... And to flip that argument again - would you prefer your device to be bricked by someone trying to run a webserver serving child pornography, or

I actually like Google's kerning better. In Angela's version, the l stands out too much. Its unique green colour already makes it more noticeable than the other letters and spacing it out this much makes it too prominent.

Maybe TI should upgrade the processor in it a bit? Put a better screen? Maybe one based on e-ink? Imagine a LISP machine with dedicated calculator buttons, the size of a small kindle. An iPad with an app is not the solution, but how come gr

Rain falls, scorpions sting, Buddhist monks give help, and Microsoft embrace-extend-extinguish. It's just in their nature. The corporation protects its financial interests instinctively, like the raindrop falls due to gravity. This is

The ragdolls in Dark Souls act like that on purpose, precisely because it's funny how they bounce around. They could easily have just disabled interaction with the player (see DkS2), but thought it was hilarious, so left it in. Also, h

Even self-driving cars aren't perfect. The reason you don't cut in front of a human driver is because human reaction time is finite and you're likely to get hit. The same goes for a computer driver - it has a hard limit on ho

I suppose (hope) that once they finalise the format, we'll have tools released with free, unencumbered licenses.

You reminded me of something I heard the other day regarding minimum sentencing laws -- they (partly) don't work because people aren't law experts and don't know about them. It's like that joke "I bought a book on l
