Today they are. Programming can be made easier with large frameworks. Cost can be reduced with higher volume.

Or, there's something wrong with ventilation in the building. Owing to its nature as an embassy, perhaps people are willing to jump to more sinister conclusions as opposed to if this happened at ACME Headquarters in Omaha.

Goddamn, that phone number's old enough to have letters in the exchange.

This is my personal experience and yet I'm careful not to put my own experience onto anyone else. I've met more than enough people, gay and straight, who seem genuinely repulsed by one or the other. I don't purport to know wh

Newer titles tend to use newer engines, almost all of which include Linux export as a one-click build option.

I know times are changing and all, but to me, it's still damn weird to see something as informal as "bullshit" used in a journal article definition.

This is exactly how the Mega Everdrive and similar retro flashcarts work. The "OS" loaded from SD card configures an FPGA inside the cartridge.

Personally, I'm more astounded someone outside Google was actually able to build a Google project.

Steins;Gate undoubtedly got it from the John Titor urban legend.

Almost every major luxury car has a feature that reports on the operation of its self-driving(-like) features, data which is used to refine the next generation.

Immediately, I'd be wondering what very powerful spy agency or organisation felt the need to break into my car, and why.

Now comes the challenge of mass producing a reliable product.

Very often, programmers aren't given the time to do something properly. Management makes the decision to ship with critical bugs.

I was in the generation between you and your kids. We had amazing games like Quake and Half-Life but we also had the awesome Qbasic games community. There used to be entire sites hosting Qbasic games, many of which were often simple puzzl

Modern hardware still works much the same, writing bytes to hardware that handles graphics generation, albeit today's are vastly more complex and SIMD-oriented. The key difference is these consoles lacked a framebuffer; RAM at the time

Advocacy for murder and legal subjugation (in this example, of minorities, but it really applies to anyone) is devoid of value and legitimacy. Directly or indirectly supporting people who do it by giving them a microphone seems very clearly

by ashleyn 8y ago
If saying that minority people have the right to live and be free becomes an "unpopular opinion", we have considerably bigger problems and the need for revolution grows closer. Human rights matter. This is an objective, universal

The two of these groups advocate subjugation of minority demographics at their best, genocide at their worst. It doesn't matter who says it. Taking a stand against these ideas and refusing to support these ideas is ethically clear.

I never equated the two. The government is still under the obligation to treat all speech equivalently. However, for a private citizen or corporation to extend a platform to these people is a very ethically problematic act, one that transce

>We need to be willing to pick sides when there are clear moral or humanitarian issues. It's refreshing to see this. Very tired of this mealy-mouthed "free speech" refrain when we're talking about private companies. F

Not to mention, frame interpolation isn't anything that inherently requires complex AI. My old Samsung TV had this feature, and it created the irritating "soap opera effect".

HP, Xerox, and AT&T figured that out decades ago.

We're doing something, but is it a competent response? Done the wrong way, tariffs just cause everyone to lose. Trump is a symptom of the problem and that's a big part of the reason he happened, but he's not particularly a go

Security is enough of a consideration that any well-established webserver without corporate or foundational backing is instantly unsuitable for serious use.

It's far beter to consider current, effective treatments for this instead of considering euthanasia for it.

Seems to me an all-too-convient rationale to force devs to use the proprietary Metal framework directly.

That buying thing extended all the way up to cars. I recall reading Steve Jobs never registered his cars. He'd simply buy one in cash from the dealer, drive on the temporary registration period, then sell the vehicle for a new one when

The treatment of people with mental illness is overdue for a sea change. In much of criminal law I can predict a move from punishment to mental health treatment. Comedians and anchors who make fun of "nuts" won't particularly

I've been following Sony for twenty years or so. "Interop" is not a word in their vocabulary. There are many innovations such as Minidisc, SACD, and ATRAC that never truly took off because they wanted to run proprietary from
