I don’t know about the US, but I talked with a someone who runs a cinema in Germany and he said that for example Disney dictates the prices, leaving him with small margins. This is also the reason why they have to sell a certain amount of

I think his point was rather that people are expected not to think about who they vote for, even abstractly, but vote what they are socially coerced to. This is certainly true for the last US election more than any other I can remember.

Do you happen to live in Europe? I live in Germany and while the Silicon Valley mentality doesn’t look healthy or sane, Germany is surprisingly “lame” for such a successful country. The German economy relies too much on old industries and t

In my reply, I used datacenters as a term to describe mass deployed computers (for which a ME actually makes sense). I’m sorry, I should’ve clarified.

And yet, customers still aren't datacenters, but still they carry the risks.

The funny thing is that making the processor more secure would require less work by not implementing a ME.

Their motivations are irrelevant. Consumers aren't datacenters.

Usually when people set me up for high expectations, I end up getting disappointed. In the case of the Macbook touchpad, my expecations were actually exceeded. I use Bootcamp a lot for some of my projects, and the touchpad support in Window

I tried all sorts of work, from text editing to drawing and music creation. They all kind of work but they are needlessly complicated. On the PC/Mac I can edit a sample in Audacity and just drop it into my DAW, in most cases probably v

That's true, but most of the time, I need to explicitly export files to the file browser, unlike on Android (the last time I used it) where I could just open the file another app has stored somewhere on the file system. I understand th

I'm an iOS user. But frankly, iOS sucks for this kind of work. I tried. Copy pasting is slow, file handling is unnecesserily clunky (just give me a file browser Apple). And exporting always needs some kind of workaround because I can&#

If you write a C interpreter, is it not a programming language anymore? Also, the fundamental concepts of a scripting language (lexing, parsing, compilation, but to bytecode) apply to compiled programming languages as well. There is no actu

Not just protests, violent protests. While I think the police’ action was overblown, I have little sympathy for violent politic groups (if it turns out to be correct).

The statement was: If you fall with the device, the device thinks it's falling. I'd like to know which laws of "advanced mechanics" this invalidates.

People who downvoted you don't know basic mechanics.

Regardless of the reasons for people not closing their laptop lids, these issues exist and they shouldn't.

If you really think it doesn’t serve any purpose this means you should always use if and never the proposed constructs. This is clearly wrong and I’d recommend you rethink your position.

As an iPhone user I agree. I often look at how feature packed while cheap Android devices are. The only thing that keeps me from switching is Google and that I don't have the time to bother with alternative ROMs anymore.

It's pretty clear that TC is alluding to Jordan Peterson. When I read the enforced monogamy headline I thought that's an incredibly stupid thing for him to say, only to find out that (surprise, surprise) it was taken out of contex

That’s basically the template method pattern and I remember some Windows API using it (maybe GDI) where the protected overridable method was called DrawInternal and the public Draw method was non-virtual.
