Same browser on win10. Mouse works after you click in the window and it goes full screen. However, it hangs after a few seconds of game play. Stopped hanging... then input locks up somehow. Switched to chrome on win10, same issue: input l

Indeed. A model is only as good as its data. Propagandists have no difficulty grooming inputs. We have already seen high profile cases of this with machine learning.

There you are! The correct response. Should this not fall under the "private company, do what they want" mantra we were all so fond of wrt (pre-Musk...) Twitter, Facebook, et al? The further advice then was; "make your own

The "Splitting off Chrome or Android would break them" claim doesn't add up: DOJ isn't proposing that directly, and no, I don't take it as a given that this is the plan or somehow implied when DOJ cites default sear

The networks also have YouTube channels, and when something happens are they're in direct competition with non-network channels they get ratio-ed by an order of magnitude. Most recently that happened with Milton. I find it impossible

Hopefully fade away, like town criers. I'm astonished this is still profitable given the high costs. I think they're on the margins: the quality of presenters and production has fallen dramatically from back in the day.

It's a small (mm2 scale,) high precision, high efficiency stepper motor, fabricated as both rotary and linear devices. Looks like a big deal to me with many potential applications. A lot of optics applications come to mind, although t

This response doesn't get me there. I want specifics about where the anti-nuclear pressure comes from in Taiwan. A brief hunt for a description of the situation in Taiwan led me to this[1]: "Fast forward to the present day, and

Setting aside the "blue green" matter, the question remains: what exactly are the "political reasons" at play here. That phrase raises my suspicions. Which party, what is their alignment and what is their problem with

It was originally designed for LDAP, so there is one example. Using a relational system almost certainly means you're using key-value structures indirectly. That's how table indexes are often implemented: a map from some key to

The US has had a long way to fall. In a wealthy economy can suffer a great deal of public finance abuse: there are many wells that need to be dried up. The progression of the US toward that goal includes, most recently: progressively shif

Making these warning into errors applies to the code you're writing. That's great: you're code won't dereference nulls for the most part. However, your code nearly always relies on dependencies. Those dependencies can

As you know, that has no benefit for any dependencies you have in play.

While it's true that fast compilation was probably the primary asperation of golang's design, it wasn't the only concern, and there is nothing about eliminating nullability that would have compromised compile time. So I&#x27

I don't go that far. Mistakes were made, but golang has great properties as well. I'm just amazed that, given that golang's inception is relatively recent, somehow this old lesson had not been learned by the designers. Acco

The fact that golang was designed with the "billion dollar mistake" as recently as it was is pretty astonishing.
