Uh, fascists and communist are polar opposites, but authoritarianism has nothing to do with communism by definition. If Stalin implemented an authoritarian regime while using the term "communism", that does not make communism a

Although the series might expose how corruption works in Brazil, keep in mind there's plenty of controversy and (valid, imo) accusations of partisanship in the way the show portrays certain politicians and situations, which even if b

Hadn't heard of DTAM yet, but found a video and am very impressed! What GPU did you use? Do you think it'd be feasible on mobile GPUs?

This has been possible for a good while, the most common algorithm is Parallel Tracking and Mapping (PTAM). No stereo cameras are needed, but there are also implementations that make use of depth sensors. What interests me is for an open im

I agree with you: the real issue we're talking about is putting a restraint on capitalism, because it is the notion that "development" means profit that's causing these issues. Those same advertisements make poor people

I respectfully and vehemently disagree. Hate speech has been proven to be able to convince people by virtue of appealing to their emotions rather than their intellect . It does not make sense to have a society based around human rights,

I agree with this 90%, but I'm not sure about the state of GUI apps after Windows 7. Up to Win7 though, most applications simply used native controls, sometimes wrapped by WPF or WFC. I used to write for WINAPI/GDI and I used to l

Well, I meant he used words instead of bytes, even if in some architectures, a word was a byte. That's because the term "word" was more widely used back then from what I can tell. Nowadays it's much more meaningful to gi

That is one of the most worth to watch videos ever. I also had no idea it was a "precursor" to UNIX, so it kind of amazed me as if I was understanding time-sharing for the first time in my life. I also really like how he's de

Goes to show how much marketing is enormously important for a product. I only realized he compared to vehicles after reading your comment, because I had closed the video before it showed up.

Brother, I'm sorry, but your post was very hard to understand, because you touched on many different subjects and linked several different comments from different times. I'd like to point out my like of X11 over Wayland is not bas

I am not. There are some of us who disagree "Wayland is the future". Some of us believe Xorg is great, tried and tested through many battles over the last 20 years. I have no intention or interest in switching to Wayland in the ne

I disagree with the GP comment, something like this is exactly what I needed about a month ago, due to possibly needing political asylum. Speaking of which, I'll take the time to suggest you, if you can, to add information whether a gi

When you say "you thought" do you mean you were somehow tricked by higher ups?

I am Brazilian and can confirm: in pretty much every state I've been to (some 10 in total), no event starts on time, there's always a delay, even if minuscule.

So, your comment is a pretty good example why I find Reddit such a toxic place. It's filled with absolute truths, and if you disagree you're a bot, a shill. You make a rational, logical, thoughtful comment but if you disagree with

Although I agree online voting should be obvious over the globe in 2018, what intrigues me more is why we're still using a system where the elected have zero responsibility with their campaign. Nothing happens if a politicians promises

You're suggesting there isn't an ideology moving the US government? Every country has an ideology, a doctrine or something like that, and independently of the sheer number and diversity of its population, what's ALWAYS discus

I believe this view also does not consider economic and government system hegemony as a good reason to end lives. Many of the people who lived those massacres, from Vietnam to Iraq seem to agree with this view. Since I come from a country t

It did not start with the Ukrainian coup, but rather with the Georgia conflict back in 2008. Can't really blame the Russians, what do you think it'd happen if a pro-Moscow government were elected in Mexico? What would be the US&#x

That's not what i'm talking about. Qt is cross-platform after all. I'm saying there's no consistency in the concepts , how things are built. A Listview in GTK is very different from a Listview in Qt or wx, for example

Yes, I have. Here's some to name a few: GTK, Qt, wx, Fox, fltk... Yes, I agree, Qt just works. My initial point was and still is about interoperability . They don't all speak well with each other and there are many good, useful a

It's not just about development, there are numerous applications built in different toolkits which many of us use everyday. Some of these apps are closed source, so suggesting a rewrite in Qt is out of question. Don't get me wrong

When you look at the Linux desktop software stack, I can't condemn anyone for choosing js+html+css over what's available. There's no consistency between the dozen "toolkits", each one with its own way of doing thing

If anything, it goes to show representative democracy plus unrestrained capitalism is not the only way to run a modern, advanced civilization.
