Right, so the item is tied to a specific server, the functionality of the item is implemented by that specific server, and that server only trusts NFTs that it issued itself. What value is the NFT adding exactly? I'm not saying that im

The sane reaction to that is "hey our government kinda sucks, we should change it via (voting/protesting/a coup/a revolution)" or if you're a bit more cynical "hey our government kinda sucks, I'ma sta

I really want to see what would happen if the "taxes are theft" crowd actually lived in a society without taxes. I suspect they'd go maybe a couple months before they were like "hey we should pool money together to fix

> are true or can be true with or without items being nfts Yeah this is kind of the point - the NFTs aren't adding any value.

Often it means "it seems fatty/oily, but actually it's collagen" too. Like with a slow cooked cut of meat with lots of connective tissue.

For anyone else curious the TLDR is that 240p is really 480i with tweaked timings so that the lines from the two interlaced frames strike the screen in the same place. This is also why a lot of old 240p consoles (NES/Master System thro

There's actually custom AMD GPU firmware called CRT emudriver for older cards that still had analogue output to push custom modelines to CRTS: http://geedorah.com/eiusdemmodi/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1009... I

I do wonder sometimes how much of the supposed ills of social media are just social media making things that were already happening much more visible. I and many others were bullied relentlessly at school through regular non technological m

And then there's 11 which doesn't really feel like a new version at all to me. I use 10 at work and 11 at home and after changing the taskbar settings to put the start button back on the left I don't even notice switching.

Another case that pops up a lot is dealing with dates from third party systems that aren't timezone aware. Trying to convert them without knowing what timezone they were supposed to be in in the first place doesn't work, you hav

I like "prefer buying stuff from the outer ring of the supermarket" as good general advice.

I was way too young when I first discovered it, but it was in the 2k/2k3 era too. I could barely wrap my head around how switches and variables worked so my projects never got very far but I remember loving playing the Legion Saga seri

RPG Maker was great, I've been meaning to go back and build something with it again now that I have actual developer skills.

Thanks, I need to stop taking comments at face value when people are talking about stuff like this.

It seems completely unnecessary to specifically mention VPNs though. It shouldn't matter whether you funded terrorist organizations over the public internet vs through a VPN, either should be equally illegal.

Doesn't that depend on the subject? I would find a close to 100% pass rate in medicine for example a little bit concerning.

I think you're looking through rose tinted glasses about the backstabbing and knowing who people talked to stuff. I suspect office politics in a form somewhat similar to today have existed since offices were invented.

I wonder if there are any reliable techniques for generating good random/pseudorandom numbers mentally. I guess you could just run the same algorithm computers do but it would probably be kinda taxing. I wonder if a system that uses so

I've never bought a brand new car (EV or otherwise), and probably never will. The value proposition just isn't there when cars lose double digit percentages of their value the second they're driven off the lot, and drop down

"HV parts" I assume HV == High Voltage, if that's the case isn't that basically all the important stuff. I.e. the bits that do the actual automobile things.
