Roblox is also a predator. They are exploiting children for money, through the user generated content and marketplaces. They take an incredibly large cut from everything sold and then have crazy high thresholds before you can cash out. Robl

Experiences to learn from aren’t created equally though. Getting your steam account stolen is one thing, getting exploited by sexual predators is quite another. Some experiences are good for learning, others may lead to long term consequenc

No, it’s a pretty good principle, but just like everything in programming, there are no hard rules. Every principle has times when they are appropriate and when they aren’t and it’s our job to find what is most appropriate for the situation

Thanks for the reply! I wasn't sure if you'd see mine, since it was two days late :) So I suppose the "use after free" protection is "best effort": it will try to trap such use by unmapping the page, but there&

I think its pretty clear that some people just don't get on, so I don't think its true that basically any two people can "be the one". You need some kind of shared values and ideals first. Beyond that though, I think mos

This is something that always bothers me. A lot of people forget that you have to work on relationships and then eventually they fall apart. I'm of the opinion that a belief in "soulmates" or finding "the one" or wh

Does that mean that each allocation is always page-aligned?
519.
by dkersten 4y ago
I’m not sure I understand the value of an allocator that doesn’t reuse allocations, as a bug prevention thing. Is it just for performance? (Since its never reused, allocation can simply be incrementing an offset by the size of the allocatio

Weed helps me get to sleep, but it does not help me get restful sleep. Quite the opposite, in fact: if I smoke weed before bed, I wake up tired the next day.

I’m also not a morning person, but another reason why hard exercise wouldn’t work for me, in the morning, is that after hard exercise it takes a few hours for my brain to function properly again (someone on HN a few months ago explained i

Remember that the SCO vs IBM court case was over a very small number of code lines and if memory serves they only lost because it was deemed trivial. Triviality might be correlated with a low number of code lines, but its certainly not a gi

Fair use is quite narrowly defined though. This doesn’t look like fair use to me, especially when its been shown that copilot does, at least sometimes, spit out code that is completely unchanged from the source material, without advising th

It has been shown to have reproduced code verbatim, including comments. If that code falls under a license that has requirements or restrictions, you are infringing. The problem is, how do you know when this is occurring or when copilot spl

But it shouldn’t itself be based on blockchains. That is, if you want to use them, that’s fine and up to you, but if you don’t want to use them, then that should also be a valid choice. The core technology shouldn’t be based on blockchain a

That looks great actually, thanks for the recommendation. I’ll be sure to try it out!

Oh yes, I forgot about that. There was another airship game too I think, although it was less “play as a crew” and more “team deathmatch on airships”. I’ll have to look into guns of Icarus again. Is it still active? From the steam reviews i

Oh wow, I think you’re right! You wouldn’t believe how many years I’ve been trying to find out what that game was. Thanks!

Something I've always wanted to play is a game multiplayer game (ideally firt or third person) where you and a small number of friends crew a space ship. Each person has their own role (navigator, weapons, pilot, etc) and you would fly
