I agree maybe if they could use money freely they'd invade the system more, corrupt more people, buy a police station, whatever I guess I felt that was implied. Making crime harder does reduce the amount of crime. That's pretty

I used to view things exactly like you did. I was a big Bitcoin user as well. I read Treasury's War and it sickened me. AML is indeed a parallel quasi-judicial system except without the good bits of the actual judicial system, and pose

If that were true choice of CEO would be irrelevant or pointless as long as they had some sort of generic manager training. But in reality CEOs can make enormous differences. The textbook example of a non servant manager being Steve Jobs of

JavaScript is hardly cache friendly. As for Go, that's a language which doubles up the size of every pointer and doesn't even use a moving GC, and last time I looked, the quality of machine code it generated was atrocious. It&#x27

It's not generated from another thing. It's the editor's save format, so it's the direct output of human work. It's just not in a 'genuinely' mergeable format. The fact is, that we take VCS for granted as

That's the same thing as not using version control, given that the point of using UE4 is that you don't have to write much code. Note the repeated references to "blueprint spaghetti". Blueprint is a visual DSL for game d

That seems extreme. Managers have to lead and make decisions. If they don't then you rapidly end up with chaos. That's how some firms end up with 10 different languages being used, where no engineer can work on anyone else's

Unfortunately that's also now the case for the Kotlin ecosystem. I attempted to use Maven recently for a simple Kotlin project and recently switched to Gradle. This is NOT because I like Gradle. Oh god if there is any project and compa

Thank you. That is a much clearer explanation than in the article itself. Aren't ad auctions second-price though? I thought the magic formula for ppc ads was that the winner pays whatever the second highest bid was.

by thu2111 6y ago
Could you explain O&O more? Surely all sites where ads appear are owned and operated by someone, that sounds kind of tautological. Or do you mean, the ad infrastructure itself is owned and operated by the site owner - in which case, wha

No, it can't. Google and Facebook are not really famous for copying the products of smaller companies. They tend to buy those companies instead. Amazon is also not really famous for "bullying" its supply chain. We have heard

A word meaning stupid/worthless/bad natured person can only be used to harass people, that's its entire purpose. Besides, the assumption that only sexual insults matter is a US-centric cultural view. That's why it&#x27

And yet your demands have contributed to that decision. Please don't accuse others of "not engaging in good faith" when they just outlined to you the rational basis for their viewpoints. It's just an ad-hominem insult. M

You realise men get harassed by strangers too? All the time, about stupid shit, and rare is the day that anything is done about it. It's really quite self centred to create new problems for the entire world because of a taxi driver. T

It is British English and very common in the UK. That's why Linus claims he "named it after himself". Means bastard or horrid person, basically. Oddly enough, British people don't go around demanding git be renamed. We k

I can't wait until the people on this thread find out what git means in British English.

Surely the easier and better solution is to just give the driver a one star rating, rather than confusing anyone who has ever heard of coq and missed the re-naming. The costs you are inflicting on the software industry are very large when a

Why are you trying to teach 16 year olds theorem proving? They're are no situations in which that will ever be interesting or useful to them, so it's no surprise they would be bored and distracted.

I think their assumption is that this would race with another program opening or executing the file that was just downloaded if there is any possible delay at all, and thus by the time the scanner reaches it it's already too late. I me

Ah, by "crash" you mean if the renderer process crashes, not website JS code. You can't easily do that with a C++ process indeed, which is why my example was about IntelliJ, not Chrome or any other C++ app. It's much eas

Well, yes, unless you count installing IntelliJ as prior setup: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/debugging-javascript-in-... It'd be easier to do it with the Chrome debugger though. I sometimes 'fix&#

by thu2111 6y ago
I think you're right that the UI will block you from debugging itself, but, this is just a safety check that could be disabled. It might be a fun project to try and turn IntelliJ into a fully Genera-like environment. I think as part of

by thu2111 6y ago
Well, did we? You can still do that! Those environments were extremely primitive and it doesn't take much work to match or vastly exceed their capabilities. This is so much the case we often don't even recognize such environments

So the issue is, you want some sort of bindings rather than directly invoking the Java API. I'm curious, isn't that the sort of thing macros are supposedly good at - could the bindings not be auto generated to a large extent?

I guess it depends how you define it, but France, Germany, Italy, Denmark etc all have been suspending the AZ vaccine as 'dangerous' although the actual reports of side effects are far less than the claimed danger from COVID. I ad

There's a discussion elsewhere in this thread about how they were engaged primarily in climate change related activism.

Are you counting Java libs as part of that ecosystem? It seems odd to describe the JVM as lacking all purpose libraries.

They don't think it's an explicit plot, obviously. They think it's global because it mostly is (within the Anglosphere at least), and nefarious because its stated objectives do not align with the actions people in that '

Yeah but that's pretty meaningless, because left wing activists have figured out that there's no specific requirements on what a union is meant to achieve, therefore literally any activism can be connected to "agitating to fo
