I really don't get these patents. How can you patent ifchecks on data if it is ascribed to an abstract process.

"The team has allowed us to release the code, despite its current success." First off permission was never needed to release the code. Second, Google's interest in captcha is not to protect websites but to further their mach

The big game mills don't care about languages, they care about the bottom line. If you can churn out the same quality product with more junior engineers because the language is less difficult to master it is going to happen rather soo

I see it in the sense of writing your game logic in Go using bindings for Unreal or one of the big ones. The real performance critical stuff will probably always be in C++. The popular game Rust (not language) uses Unity and the overall e

Most industry game dev is also done on top of C++ engines and libraries. I can see Go being used in the near future as the big engines offer bindings but I bet in 5-10 years the average startup is using something like C#. It is slow as be

The entire post negates the first statement that it isn't easy to just say "NTFS is slow".

If Amazon had terminated their listings without any cause or even because of competition agreements it probably would have been legal. Since it was in direct compliance with an illegal demand and Amazon stated as such they probably doomed

Does anyone remember the tests they did where 'serious' audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between the $200 cable and a coat hanger?

I'm asking around about that. In a simple contract dispute I believe you are right. If you have damages due to criminal activity it may not fall under the terms of a simple contract dispute.

I believe you are trying to classify what they bought as something it isn't (ghost shift goods). They legitimately bought the surplus from an authorized retailer. If you go buy a bunch of Nike shirts from a Nike store they cannot stop

If you obtain a product legitimately you are allowed to sell it. This wasn't a counterfeit product nor was it claimed to be. Just because a company has a policy of only selling to authorized retailers does not allow them to restrain

They also allow illegal infringement on sellers. I knew a family that ran an Amazon import business and they bought an entire batch of surplus tennis shoes directly from a company in the primary supply chain of the shoe company. All on th

I wonder if this arises there because people get moved and would otherwise receive lots of clarification requests regarding the implementation from a new maintainer. It is easier than maintaining a separate wiki page that might lose track

The universe is logic and life is engineering.

Studying logic taught me one of the more important distinctions in life is identifying when things are always true vs sometimes true. We are taught to often group things that are mostly true into the always true category. This is effectiv

You need motivation to plan. That motivation comes in the form of simulating life and letting you live it. Without risk reward is paltry. Try playing hold'em without bets, it doesn't work. The game devolves into nothing. The m

Although the study 'supports' epigenetics it seems obvious there are other possibilities as well. Abuse effects people mentally. Those effects can be passed on to kids behaviorally.

It takes a while to realize nearly every law is anti-competition protectionism. I didn't realize it until I was working for a multinational food company and the managers were bragging about how the company lobbied for a safety bill th

There is a growing body of research in this vein. You can find several recent studies like this if you are interested enough. This one in particular has 20% of the subjects no longer needing blood sugar medication after 10 weeks. https:&

I misspoke, replace glycemic index with insulin and I'm right. For example if you eat 200 calories of ice cream vs broccoli. The ice cream will be absorbed so fast into your system that you will get hungry again before you actually ne

It is pretty simple. Processed carbs that spike your glycemic index lead to a situation where your body has met its caloric needs for the day but your satiety mechanisms get wonked so you feel hungry when you should not be eating again. T

I use a service that checks the reviews on every Amazon item I'm going to buy and reject any products with gamed reviews. In a different tangent I found myself disgusted with AliExpress lately when every listing I was looking at had se

Cool, I just realized they also used a 1GbE card in the perf test so they maxed it out. That would be pretty neat if it scaled right on up.

It says you get about a Gbit of throughput. That isn't bad but I wonder if that is simply because the processing isn't or can't be efficiently paralleled. You might be able to make several of these connections between 2 mach

The problem I see is pseudo science is used to build policies that are implemented via the law, aka threat of violence. You have to be very very sure of things if you are going to go down that road. I consider the incorrect application of
