I think for the starkest contrast, play games from 10-20 years ago. If the difference in graphics, animation, physics and world size doesn't amaze you, then the changes in user interface should. It is so much easier to play modern game

I figure you're doing the same as someone that cuts an article that they are mentioned in out of a newspaper and frames it on their wall. I've seen plenty of restaurants and businesses do it.

But if you're dropping 50% of the lanes and only getting a 20% speed drop, then it looks like you're not using those 16 lanes to capacity. Logically you'd expect closer to a 50% performance drop.

So the challenge for the AI would be to figure out which action to do with the limited supply of actions and time.

I liked HRM, the story was a nicely quirky, and so far to date it's the only game for which I have 100% achievements for. The only thing it was quite annoying to write the code for the later levels since you couldn't see enough of

Yep, I've spent days tweaking and optimising the starting few worlds of SpaceChem to get solutions which are most optimal. The only disappointing thing is that you can only save one solution to each challenge, so it means you need to p

So DRM, geofiltering, and differential pricing are all requested by publishers and distributors. If you want something more equitable then try GoG, but as you'll notice that not all new or big games are on that platform. As for third p

So there's nothing stopping a mixer service taking 50% of the incoming bitcoins, or even all of them.

So basically what I read from this thread is that the fraudulently acquired bitcoins will go through a mixer or tumbler in order to cover the transaction tracks. The tumbler/mixer will take a small fee for this service. Then the perpet

I believe the article was http://pzemtsov.github.io/2017/07/23/the-slow-currenttimemil... Although I couldn't easily find it in my history or on HN. I had to resort to the Googles.

You could argue that each processor's errata is UB in assembly. I remember that programming for the XScale we had a whole manual of errata that we had to program around. Though because it's documented it's not "Undefined

Unfortunately the architectural details of the machine will leak through to the program you are writing, and you will need to twist your code in order to get correct behaviour and fast execution. Case in point is the recent article posted o

"But oh no, they would never do that ... they would only use this technology for productive purposes ... like catching bad guys".

The way I see it and it have stated before is that it's about control and keeping in power. By being able to listen in on any communication and being able to track who is talking to whom, they are able to catch and suppress leakers and

I think for actual security you need to practice physical security. No matter if the data is stored on paper or electronically, you will still need to air gap it, and have security and clearance protecting that data. To put it into perspect

People cover up things because at the time when the cover up starts the damage/cost of exposing the problem and taking the blame far outweighs the cost of doing a cover up. As time progresses (the simple view is) one of two things can

It seems that all of the shifting of labour is working out for IBM. I wonder how long it will be before the statement "nobody got fired for picking IBM" becomes false. But that timeline does seem quite ridiculous. To wilfully igno

For what it's worth at work we had the same thing when moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Though they got rid of the restriction when people bitched about not being able to run the default Windows calculator. Since a lot of us are pr

And if you think about it, moving every 2 years is 15 different companies. If you stay a bit longer at the ones you like, say 5 years, then that's 6 companies in your employable lifetime. To put it another way you have 5-10 big project

The best thing that I've found for getting rid of body odour is to wash with bicarbonate of soda. Just buy a large pack and instead/in addition to soap. Deodorant sprays are just perfume which attempt to cover up the smell, but do

Or perhaps the Financial Advisor was also a friend or advisor to the venture capitalist, hence if they got them a really good deal they would have solid well paid work for the next few years.

That assumes there will be no errors in the Rust compiler or runtime environment to deal with. If there are then those would definitely be above their pay grade.

The field I was thinking about was actually game development. Usually games are developed, shipped once, and then only have a short maintenance lifetime before the developers move on to other projects. This applies a lot with shrink wrapped

I've had cheesecake in spring roll skin deep fried before. Maybe not everything has to be battered but instead can be encased in some form of pastry.

It also means that this is mainly applicable on software that is expected to be in development for many years and then have many years of active maintenance.

At least they told him before he flew over. They could have done that when he actually landed, and he would have been denied entry there, then shuffled back onto a flight.

London Black cabs are more expensive than regular taxis because of the huge amount of knowledge those drivers have. The ability to know the city well, along with all road works, detours, construction, and places of interest, is amazing. Eve

Actually the demand for healthcare will change when there is a change in price. There will always be a base demand level, but if you change the price of seeing a doctor then people would be more inclined to see them for minor things - annoy

The canonical example is in Medicine: Doctors, Surgeons, Dentists. All of these professions have strict professional bodies which limit the number of people that can enter them, therefore be it intentionally or not, the wages are kept high.
