How is this a profit protection measure? And how does it prevent the Switch from being more expensive?

I'm the opposite, once you make it difficult for me to cancel a service, my resolve to be rid of you increases 10 fold. It overwhelms any discomfort making a call would put me through.

Yeah I found this confusing personally. For me, this image from learnopengl.com has been the most intuitive way: https://learnopengl.com/img/getting-started/matrix_multiplic... from their page on transformations

How would an enthusiast developer even begin to contribute code to the kernel? It seems quite a daunting task

I'm not a cryptographer or even that into crypto, but maybe PRNGs would produce collisions much more often than hashes?

How would anyone know? There's no screenshots

by stolen_biscuit 5y ago
Screenshots wouldn't help explain what it is, it would just tell everyone what this window manager would look like? Why wouldn't you have screenshots, it's a window manager, who would download without first seeing what it loo

Yes, nobody is saying it's completely impervious to being prevented. It's a discrete way of alerting people to you being in danger, I don't know why you think it's a bad thing when it has literally been proven to be effe

Calling 911 by that logic is self defeating because it's easily recognizable and can easily be preventable, but it's not, because these things aren't about being fool-proof, but giving people a means to communicate if the opp

Cool idea, I like languages that compile down into C/C++ (like Nim), leverages the ubiquitious nature of C compilers across multiple platforms. Are there any samples of the final sources? It says it's designed for library developm

Sort of like a ForthOS or lisp machine?

This comment is wrong. You still learn all those things using a game engine. You don't have to write your game in pure C and handle everything from first principles to learn how to manage those aspects of game development.

Nice, I remember reading the old 2007 version a few years ago, so nice to see it's been updated for modern linux. Perhaps one of the authors could update the old page to notify/direct users to the new version? Still ranks first wh

We are battling a new wave of the Delta variant, as to why these measures are being brought in now it's because of two reasons: 1) NSW vaccination rates are very low. As of today only 19.6% of citizens are fully vaccinated and 37.4% ar

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding but does that mean that Uber refunded their employee the $2.20 they paid for doing their job, so driver ended up with exactly $0 after this trip?

I wasn't familiar with them, I just looked them up, thanks for letting me know. That has made me a bit more optimistic about the path forward there!

Cautiously optimistic but I'm always wary of unions that get the corporations blessing. We have some like that in Australia (SDA stands out as I used to be a member) and they can be incredibly toothless at times. But that being said, I

There's a lot of people in the comments saying that Vietnam didn't really "win" the war. Their political and military objectives were ultimately successful, those of the US/South Vietnam were not. That's what a
