so does the rust compiler check for race conditions between threads at compile time? if so then i can see the allure of rust over c, some of those sync issues are devilish. and what about situations where you might have two variables closely related that need to be locked as a pair whenever accessed.

valve is just as ambitious as microsoft or google, they just appear to be the good guy for now because theyre trying to gain some ground on evil corp, and linux is one of the only openings they (or anyone) has got.

That made me smile, well done and thanks Lennard! (do recommend setting colors = False though)

What?

reads like slop

ummm didnt dick cheney open an oil company in the middle east after womd? hehe this is nothing new.

All good! thanks for the maths though, just when I think I understand it... I dont! Its one of those love hate relationships, I love it, it hates me.

ublock origin to the rescue?

google, lol, marketing doesnt make a university good.

what dont you like about communism? do you even know? not a huge fan of extremism personally im just curious on your take.

That is interesting and made me think. Only after following some of the other subcomments did I manage to understand it. Personally, replacing the word similarity ratio with scale factor made all the difference. At first I thought it was a circular argument, relying on pythag to prove pythag but that scale factor is the key actually, and the fact that side lengths scale linearly but the area scales quadratically. It feels like a similar trick we see when adding logarithms gives us multiplication.

In before a new co-opted msoft/google clippy v2 comes out with all the ai/advertising goodness we love to hate. Get your movement diluted and confused before it even gets off the ground.

A ubi based economy would require more protectionism from govt of finite resources and perhaps even a carrot based incentive system to get people to do less desirable activities. I dont think a ubi economy would have to be entirely flat in terms of wealth, there should always be incentives for people who want more. I'd rather have more sharing of a protected commons than a few oligarchs having it all to themselves.

>emotional discomfort with various inequities & inequalities

you say it like thats a bad thing

We'll never have a ubi in a opportunistic greed based economy. How are you going to convince "mr i want all the resources" that they should share for the wellbeing of other people (and indirectly for the benefit of themselves but they dont look that far)? its about the foundations our economic systems are built on.

edit: oh and without sounding too conspiratorial hopefully... how are you going to control a populace that isnt desperate, downtrodden and uneducated... /end conspiracy

Yeah text based beats video a lot of the time.

Correct, it hasn't been spent yet. But gov't has had ample opportunity to review and cancel it, even when experts were warning its a waste of taxpayer money.

seems to be a trivia list of things the author thinks about. not sure why its even listed here.

im kinda off vpns since i learnt that id likeley become an ai crawler or a proxy for someones paid ddos

If they hired 3 full time devs at 100k salary each to develop and maintain their website, it would take over 300 years to spend that much money... also unrelated but kind of related - australia spent i think it was over 300 billion for some subs that we'll never get. hot news, if you want free money from people who have no clue, go get it from australia! we are indeed a nation of stupid

yeah dunno why anyone would willingly use a msoft product if there was a viable alternative (i say from my windows machine doh, its for games, really!)

A lot of orgs operate under the "ask forgiveness later" principle. They were probably hoping the "later" would be much later...

its defamation. flimsy proof like that needs to be sued.

mobile devices dont get ip6 do they? last i looked my cheapo gateway only provided v4 cgnat

never heard of them before this HN article lol. the only thing that struck me was no paragraphs in the article, just one giant wall of text. and also how bored id be living that lifestyle (personally)

quickly went looking but very hard to find images or videos of actual game play. mostly talking heads on yt or walls of text.

Firstly, I looked up panopticon, and it does indeed seem like that is how modern societies are being structured now, and secondly... It is true that people generally seem to display a lack of imagination regarding all of this. The whole "ive got nothing to hide so what do i care if they surveil me" attitude comes across as selfish and naive in this light.

I wonder what ad-tech or whatever org would do if we got to a state where they just couldnt track or id people. Would we still have free entertainment on the net? would the net even still be mainstream?

Does that mean I can run windows games on my rpi? (In theory at least)

my cheapo plan gives unlimited sms but not free data, so id rather just turn rcs off instead.

fyi theres also a 4x https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector....

didnt check past that
