Steam doesn't require DRM, some games purchased on steam can be run without steam running. Valve provides a very simple (and easy to bypass) DRM which many games on steam use, this is likely what you're referring to. Other games u

(Kiwi here) I suspect our isolation policy would have continued for quite a bit longer if we never saw Omicron. The failure of lockdowns to contain it (at least at the compliance levels at the time, high relative to US but lower than our pr

Unfortunately, I think this attitude is irresponsible. So many people's lives rely directly on software in one way or another that we shouldn't treat it so whimsically. That's not to say that the practise can't be fun, b

Yes, scripting languages all support both: * A repl for performing common operations (moving around the file system, running programs, etc), * A interpreted environment for scripting these operations. The main reason to use these instead of

It won't stop everyone, but if you license it under AGPL they'd be required to share any modifications they make under the same, open, license.

For archival 24Mbps is an insane bitrate, you could get away with 1/3th to 1/6th of that. You're also going to limit to public videos (unlisted and private will make up some share of those uploads) and probably to those with

I'm not sure if there's a formal proof, but I believe its inherently undecidable. There's some discussion here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7237963/a-c-implementati...

Thanks for your thoughts. If I'm understanding correctly your argument basically comes down to arguing there is a high elasticity of supply and a low elasticity of demand. I guess I'll look into the estimates and see. One thing I

I'm not sure I see how reducing supply is 'evidently counter-productive'. For example reducing capital available to oil/gas companies -> reduces supply -> increases price -> drives reduction in consumption &#x2F

There are examples elsewhere in this thread of Rust code which is obviously incorrect (static mut values not protected by a mutex). I would not put any faith in the security of this software, which for remote desktop, is a problem.

New Zealand is a little complicated, but stuff.co.nz is probably the largest web outlet (which is associated with some of the most well known newspapers e.g., The Dominion Post).

If not for the threat of involving authorities I might agree with you. How many people would really risk up to 7 years imprisonment (my countries max) to make a bit of money?

I wonder if it would be possible to counter this with policy, something like: > If you receive a credible bribe and report it immediately to X we will report to relevant authorities and provide a bonus equal to the value of the bribe (ca

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'adversarial networks', it could be GANs or adversarial training. Either way, yes, there are techniques for improving performance in the presence of an adversary but it doesn't negat

Most problems Google (& DeepMind) have seen success in are not arms races; you're simply trying to accomplish a difficult task. Dealing with bots, and content moderation in general, is an arms race. You're fighting another p

You can always build escape hatches for that kind of use case. Some more stringent separation between essential and installed components could have prevented Linus removing his DE.

I think the question is fine, and a good one, but the motivation should have been made explicit, certainly no later than the end of the meeting.

I don't have the ability to downvote, it's locked behind reputation (not sure of the exact amount). Show me the problem with an alternative solution, don't preach about supposed benefits.

This is not at all how journalism works. Journalism requires editorial freedom, who pays the bills should have literally no impact on reporting; this is true even when with meta coverage of the publication or owner in question. Anything
