Do you honestly believe that a town of 36000 inhabitants has any leverage against Uber?

In the US, maybe. It has since been proved time and time again that replacing government workers with private entities provides a worse service, which is more expensive. You literally cannot make something more profitable than the governmen

Mhm. That's been the general solution to make emulators of the time fast. ZSNES was mostly assembly too.

I very much doubt that Nesticle used dynarec. With games of the era requiring precise timings, a JIT would have been more trouble than it's worth. I can't find any source for Nesticle having a JIT compiler either. It was however v

Absolutely! And in most likelihood, such a system will never be put in place, so you can sleep soundly. Amazon could run very well without Bezos, at this point, solely through workers. Bezos at this point serves nothing but effectively leec

Unfortunately for you, that is not up to you to decide, but to society as a whole. And society has those pretty fun tools like police forces, etc. But don't worry, there are much bigger fish to fry than you. You probably won't eve

No, I only want to take 75% of that option from you if it didn't return into the economy during your lifetime.

That looks absolutely great. Radare2 is amazing software, and this seems like a good GUI for a first release and a massive improvement to current reverse engineering and open source solutions. If the author is lurking around, is it possible

What are combinators? Go parse some zalgo with your 4 per iteration algorithm. I'll be there, waiting and laughing. C string handling is not elegant, nor does it fit the realities of the world.

That is a valid concern, and anyone downvoting this is so far down the hype machine that there's no saving them anymore. Kite is a breach of privacy for 80% of professional software developers that work on a private codebase. You are s

It only takes one person to automate this process for every one to use. Nobody expects burglars to manually write the exploit. Running a single thing from your phone? Much easier.

I believe his post was awkwardly worded and that "Don't believe Wikileaks, they are a threat" is just a jab at how the media is portraying Assange and Wikileaks.

Some people don't get to work on the right things. Hell, most people don't get to work on the right things, by virtue of not being born in the right social class, the right skin color, the right neighbourhood, the right family.

Discussing salary is only taboo because your employers make it taboo. By keeping your salaries a secret, they get more leverage in negotiations, can afford to give you much smaller raises, and have a general upper hand. Keeping salaries sec

No, they're not. However, the standard itself is now tainted with this. By forcing their way into the standard with EME, yes, they did. You cannot implement the full standard without getting their blessing. They profited from the entir

This was mostly an issue coming from Denuvo, which doesn't offer a way to generate linux executables. Now that Denuvo has been stripped, it runs on Linux, and pretty damn well with the Vulkan backend.

I was wrong, it was actually in the 12.04 days. Didn't remember it to be so long ago. I believe it's disabled by default in newer releases. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2840401/ubuntus-unity-8-deskt...

The absolute worst thing with this website is thinking that scrolling with your mouse is way too slow, turning on light speed and realising it goes slower. Well, we're not getting to another solar system in my lifetime, it's fine.
