Because if people simply are allowed to make bootleg copies of limited edition things, then the limited editions become a meaningless concept, _undermining_ the creator's business model.

Not everything need be evaluated through the lens of free market economics.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Surely a creator has the right to sell something, and then refuse to sell any further copies.

Super Hexagon is a game that when I first played it I could not believe it was possible to complete it, yet a year later I could get >60s in all the levels. An insane grind but somehow immensely satisfying.

Pretty funny to listen to one of the lowest-rated albums in that database in terms of dynamic range, Gray Data by Five Star Hotel: https://open.spotify.com/album/6Q8hkb14PqvyLVEdmWXiD9?si=H5w... Makes RATM sound like e

Not a myth. Plenty of information available about it online and in books. Look up Timothy Leary who was a pioneer of LSD use.

Not sure where you got this idea. The only significant part of the Go codebase that was inherited from Plan 9 was the C compilers, used to build the original Go compiler that was written (from scratch) in C. I think perhaps a hash table imp

If you want to learn how to do x looking at and understanding completed examples of x seems like an obvious prerequisite.

You need to be versed in the deep lore to understand it, basically.

By attempting to police this aren’t they lending credence to the instances that they failed to detect? “See it’s [not marked as fake/it’s on twitter]! It must be real.” Seems better that we all just adjust to the fact that we can’t tru

Design maybe but their engineering is not exactly stellar. Ableton is pretty crashy, especially when working with external plugins (including their own Max). I’m not sure I’d be thrilled by that in the context of an OS.

You don’t ever have to open a booster pack if you buy all singles on the secondary market, as many players do. There are also draft formats where you pay to play against others from the pool of cards opened from a set of packs. The choosing

My advice is to not overthink it and do what works for you. IMO, don’t use a pkg directory. It only makes your import paths more unwieldy. Don’t use internal unless you have a package that is an awkward implementation detail that must be sh

They’re both federal agents. Neither is a hacker. The guy that says “cool” is just more hip than the other one.

One major difference is that the Russian operation was covert while Twitter is just now announcing their intent to do something before they do it, and it will be clear when they have done it.

It's no coincidence that the three creators of Go have been around long enough to remember the simpler days.

When I finished high school I interviewed for a couple of programmer jobs and was offered both. One was a spot on a technical team which paid quite little, the other was a role where I would be the sole technical person which paid much more

You might be happier with FreeBSD or OpenBSD which take a much more conservative approach to change (slow and predictable) and documentation (they have it and it is well written and accurate).

A big challenge for Google, and any large DC operators in general, is utilization. Ideally you want the entire fleet working at 100% all the time, so there's no real benefit to ramping up or down with energy supply.

I mean the scats are not really cubes, they’re cubic. They don’t have sharp edges. The explanation given in the paper makes sense, and is indeed fascinating!
