I think we can safely assume any intelligence we create will be enslaved. We have modern slavery active across the globe. There's a bit of news around these days about a global sex trafficking ring that doesn't seem to have been s

Is intelligence necessarily coupled with self-interest? As in, does intelligence alone imply a desire to throw off the shackles of masters and rule in their stead? If intelligence is necessarily coupled to a desire for self-preservation and

The killer for games tends to be the anti-cheat or anti-piracy layers. I have a Windows game I can't run under CrossOver (aka Wine 11) or a VM, only because its anti-piracy layer doesn't accept those circumstances.

Steam and CodeWeavers contribute a lot of code to the Wine project, because it underpins their business models of supporting Windows games on non-Windows platforms. Between them they make up the vast bulk of what actually gets attention and

You are right, I didn't think that through properly!

As far as software development goes, money is almost perfectly correlated with time.

https-everywhere does indeed prevent transparent proxying by ISPs. Mostly this isn't an issue: site owners are less likely to have their content tampered with by a content distribution network than by an ISP, and have full control over

A thorough specification might even include the acceptable precision on the sine wave; a thorough engineer might ask the author what the acceptable precision is if it's omitted.

When you design the final board, consider making two boards - one for all your logic, and a separate one for all your user-facing I/O - blinkenlights, toggles, buttons, and so on, with something like a ribbon cable connection for them.

That particular contrived example is another case of "Map Any to Any is the only data structure" leaking into the thinking about types. If there's two alternatives, use an algebraic data type to express that.

by codebje 7mo ago
The article's summary is fair, but the title is IMO a bit of a click bait, because the problem as described really is that "shoehorning a richer type system atop an Any-typed language is leaky." The Any type leaks through. Th

There's an option buried somewhere in there to convert left-over real dollars into robux. They don't make it too prominent else no-one would be sitting there looking at the expensive robux options that offer (mostly, but NOT alway

Early games frequently took the approach of inventing an interpreted machine code in which the bulk of the game would be written, with an assembly interpreter that would need to be rewritten for each target IA and modified for the specific

People who want to click a button to skip waiting for the next mail poll time (and who even know what that means!) probably can be expected to know that just about every toolbar can be customised.

by codebje 7mo ago
In Mail, right click on the toolbar and choose customise. Put the "get mail" action where you want it.

This is normal. Don't engage in the rage.

I've seen several book boxes in Brisbane, Australia, but neither one that I know the location of has been registered as a little free library.

Sure, but if the browser is the only thing that becomes more memory efficient that's still a substantial win.

RAM hoarding is, AFAICT, the moat.

Give the current crop a chance to realise their mortality and want to secure a better legacy than 'took all the money'.

Why would the model owner do that? You still need some human input to operate the business, so it would be terribly impractical to try to run all the businesses. Better to sell the model to everyone else, since everyone will need it. The on

I'm more familiar with Australian legislation than others, but here at least a home server would definitely not require age verification. Kids are free to make group chats with their friends in a bunch of services. The spirit of the la

It's not really a method to escape the law, or a technicality - it's that people other than Matrix.org are operating chat services, and the law applies to those people, but those people are not Matrix.org. This won't save Mat

Being angry at them won't change their behaviour, but will make you more stressed. Remember: driving like that is its own punishment, because they'll be extremely angry and frustrated at everything. Between that and the realisatio

It's still wrong, though. Without dedicated sprite hardware it's not more efficient to read a byte from one place and write a byte to another than to write background bytes and write line colour bytes. DMA controllers on µCs won&#
