It is stupid especially considering that the people who are for this sort of censorship (or moderation, if you will) usually also agree with the notion that we are heading towards fascism. Which one is it then? Is it possible to take on ste

This is just how ATC conversations go. The plane could literally be on fire and the controller would still be like "Ok. So I guess now that you're on fire, you want to turn around and land?" Pilot: "Yes we can do that.&q

How is this corporate speak? If an indie dev said his/her project is going to be open source initially and then newer features would get monetized, would your first thought be that this dev is "breaking into the space under the gu

Ah, this is a fair point. I hadn't considered this, but my build process does indeed include a compilation step done on Amazon Linux to pull in all the packages and build them with node-gyp. That then gets uploaded to Lambda. So you&#x

Kind of - you can BYO binaries but the vast majority of the time you'll be BYO code instead. A Django project doesn't care what architecture it runs on so long as Python is compiled for it, ditto with Node and RoR and all the othe

It's not a single player game I'm pretty sure - there are leaderboards and achievements that allow you to compete with your friends. Obviously these features are moot if the top 10,000 players have a score of MAX_INT. It would hav

"Intel and AMD won’t like that, because not many users are ready to run code cut for Arm so they’re not yet a huge threat to sales of Xeon or EPYC CPUs." The only service this applies to is EC2. Every other AWS service runs on Ama

Last I checked GNURadio allows you to import raw Python blocks to run on your signal. There shouldn't be anything stopping you from using this library inside of GNURadio, however you can also get away with not using GNURadio at all giv

Does it matter? When I walk into a building I don't get to tell their IT guys what protocols to use and which to avoid. I don't get to tell them my own preferences and make them conform to them. I don't get to start a job and

Not folding when everyone else has may give you a market advantage, similarly being the first to fold may ensure you come out of the round in the best position.

> you still have the capability to play the game offline EA famously uses online-only DRM in many of their modern titles; if you get banned from, say, SimCity, you can't run the game at all. There is no "offline mode".

Software updates aren't a service? Doesn't Nvidia provide updates to its drivers over time? They can choose to cut anyone off from those, including the very first initial driver download. Sure, you can own and do whatever you want

It's not a special status, anyone has the right to deny you a hardware product as well. I don't have to sell cars to anyone if I don't want to. If I do want to sell someone a car, I can specify a contract or license that they

Well, the idea is that you render the first pass of the SPA and serve that HTML to the client. Rather than just injecting the data into the SPA source code, you inject the data and render the page, and then serve that page. Then whatever

I agree with you, I'm only logged into my work FB account on my personal device, however I'm also a power user (and I'm guessing you are too) so I don't think our experiences can extrapolate out to the population as a wh

Are we really going to assume that your average user doesn't already have FB installed and already signed in? They have over one billion users, you know. It's not exactly rare to find Facebook on any arbitrary person's device

I have been a ROBLOX player since 2009. The Linux anti-cheat began to be enforced because practically no-one used the Wine port for honest gameplay; it was almost always to do some kind of memory manipulation or for script kiddies to execut

I believe this entire technique is known as SSR - Server-Side Rendering. It's built in to Vue and React and you can find examples on their respective sites.

I think the question is whether developers actually care if users with cheap devices can't use their SPAs. If you're trying to sell them something, you probably want customers with deep enough pockets to afford a somewhat modern p

I believe the argument they are making is that their non-cloud units are so huge that they overshadow any progress they are making in the cloud space - if cloud profits increased 1000%, it would increase overall revenue by only a few percen

I think in general you can run arbitrary code on Colab. That's the entire point. Your CPU and RAM usage are monitored and rate limited; you have to pay $$$ for more powerful specs and at that point if you're paying them I doubt th

Yeah, what helped me is that on those nights I elected to avoid the highway and only take city roads, so lots of traffic, red lights, stop lights, etc. that allowed me to drive slowly. The downside is that sitting at stop lights made me sle
