The worst part is , its tradition now that whenever a state or federal Liberal party gets power, the first thing they try to do is drag the labor party through the same court process to try and find out what sort of sneaky politicians have been nice to unions, or whatever the thoughtcrime allegation of the week is. Those and the Royal commissions that the libs like to do to intimidate labor never really find much except a few politicians that have fucked some reciepts for taxi fares or whatever, but its not about finding guilt, its about intimidation.
We have a *very* anti-democratic conservative movement here.
I remember my uncle and his Altair. Apparently it was fairly common with the computer students (at the time considered a stream within the maths program) to build their own. Later he got an Apple II and a year or two later my folks got an Amstrad (English competitor to the Apple II and C64)
big marix math is something CUDA does well on account of being able to parallelize large amounts of simple operations which is ultimately hosw matrices work , just stepwise working through the steps.
As for signal processing in general, mostly is a pretty great use, however if its real time audio, there has been traditionally issues with latency shifting blocks in and out of GPU ram. Video for whatever reason is a bit better because the discrete timing between frames are large enough that latency isn't a problem, but audio is continuous so a degree of extra buffering needs to happen. But if I was calculating messy convolutions, or something that might make the CPU sweat, the GPU would still be my first port of call
You could create a pretty effective bird crime network, by just teaching a few to steal money from wallets and bring them in for rewards. No wallets, jsut notes or jewelry. Eventually other crows would realise the good thing going on and eventually you have half the Corvidae in the city, sneaking in chimneys and carelessly opened doors to snatch anything they can loot to bring in for rewards, all the potentially neat legal defence of "Shit I dont know what was going on, birds just keep giving me stuff so I give them stuff.".
I fundamentally dislike Oracle. Its an exploitative company that functions purely on ensnaring companies into deals that are far too costly then using legal shenanigans to stop them to leave.
BUT, they are right here. Giving the whole contract , all ten billion of it, to a single contractor (And lets be clear here, its either AWS or Azure. Google are capable, but they dont have the govt mojo to compete in this space) is straight up monopoly building, and it creates a single point of vunerability to the DODs systems. By splitting things up over multiple providers, it enhances competition, and divides up responsibility in a way better suited to national security.
And after all, they could still write "NO ORACLES ALLOWED" in it, right. (Well probably not, but hey)
Yeah thats kind of what frusturates me about the "Its been super hot before and things lived!" talking point. Sure it has, but unless your a serious misanthrope that doesn't want people to exist, it really does well to remember that life also exists around sulphur plumes at the bottom of the ocean, but not people! Hell, theres a good chance we could bio-engineer primitive life that'd cope on venus, maybe even mop up some of the atmosphere a bit so in a few thousand years we could live there. But for the time being, bad for humans.
If your anything like me and a lousy visual eye for web stuff, just use boot strap. Easy to learn, and the corporate types are generally happy with the look. If you gotta show it to the public, find a graf designer who knows how to customize bootstrap. But beyond that its all pretty easy
11 years ago MD5 was still the go-to encryption of choice. Generating a rainbow table for that is possible in an hour or so with a cluster of rented Amazon GPU servers, at a pretty low price, especially if stolen credit cards are involved. This isn't the problem it used to be.
Now if its properly salted with a salt for each password, sure, its a bit harder, but for a lot of folks salt just means add the word "SECRET" to the start of the password.
True but the interesting ones if they have life , it's aquatic , and radiation really ain't a problem once you get a few feet under water. Water as it turns out is a fabulous radiation moderator
Its probably worth noting this is why the Mac is kind of viable these days. Drivers are a no brainer, it's the closed garden , and while the gpus are generic anemic laptop , unity and unreal are both well optimised so as long as the graphics are dialed back for laptop gpus , it'll more or less run without difficulty. As a result a lot of AAA stuff does seem to make it to Mac nowadays. Oh you won't hey 180gigafps 4K but the crowd that demands that where never buying macs anyway
Oh that shit was confusing as hell at first. The first I had read about dot net was some sort of SOAP enterprise bus thing and then about a java runtime and then something about sql server and boy did that confuse the shit out of me
You'll be waiting a long time if your e petting them to moon land using "1960s technology". They've got a noonlanding with modern tech to get out the way first.
And don't deluded yourself. Whether the Americans , Russians or Chinese hit lunar soil first, the bulk of that ships gonna be Chinese tech anyway
No not an "oxymorn". An "unfair" system is the US system that consigns humans to the scrapheap of poverty and sickness just because an exploitive private health system put its own shitty profits above human dignity and health.
Theres nothing "fair" about an unregulated capitalist healthcare system and the overwhelming weight of experience and history attests to that.
Why does the United States, ostensibly one of the richest per-capita countries in the world have to continue to endure a third world health system just because some rich guys want even more yachts and have the money to buy politicians to ensure that.
In a fair world. we'd hang those people. In this world, we elect them to power.
That's the one - monster fucking object of doom. 47,000 methods and 46,999 are getters and setters.
No it's not the same as having a load of globals, can't you see how OO it is?
This is why I found Ruby on Rails an exercise in despair. Big ass "Swiss army knife" objects with a billion methods, each one harder to find sane documentation than the previous.
We get this constantly from players, and it has nothing to do with the sex of the developers. If anything the men get it worse.
I have no idea if this is true or not. But lets say it is, this does not diminish distress felt by women in the industry. Because women , for fairly obvious reasons, have somewhat more reasons for concern, women are sexually assaulted at a higher rate, sexually harassed at a higher rate , are statistically physically smaller and more vunerable to coming to harm by an aggressor, women have good reasons to become more distressed at harassment by strangers (or non strangers).
Even if the guys are copping it too, that doesn't mean we should fob off upset coming from the women. It just means the problems even bigger than we had thought before, and if its upsetting the women more, then we should be standing by those women and trying to put an end to this sort of utterly garbage behavior by that ugly minority in the gaming community.
It be sad thing is there's actually a lot more than a few good ideas on there. Most of them however are wallowing in obscure fail while the charlatans and their "crowd funding consultants" burn the city to the grownd
Not all of us sysadmibs and developers base our technical decisions on geek dummyspit of the week. Systemd is a weird duck, but if you can't evolve your not a scientist, your not even an engineer, just a technician. And hey, that's OK. Technicians keep the world turning, but my attention spans far too short to keep chained to conventions that got unchallenging 20 years ago
It's amazing the mental hoops people jump to justify their own oppression.
Yes, legally they may well be within their right. But it does not mean it's the ethical or moral thing to do, nor does it mean we shouldn't change those laws. Remember , slavery was quite legal once, and America went to goddam war to fix that shit
Socialism, the real thing, wont happen any time soon, it really need genuine economic distress, the sort you see south of the border before people decide keeping the rich rich and the poor poor is not working out so well for them. Marx pretty much said effective socialism arises out of peoples self interest (And specifically as a class of people poor folks basically deciding theyve had enough and banding together to solve it). As it stands Americans have too much invested in capitalism to want it to go away completely.
However hybridized social-welfare systems are both plausible but also effective. Europe, Australia, Candada, etc all have similar histories of strong investments in capitalism, but have also adopted degrees of welfare to ensure people dont fall completely out of the net with health and basic living standards.
At some point politicians will be forced to realise that either they get a decent welfare and healthcare system in, preferably a universal minimum wage or some income tested variant, or people will start lighting things on fire or pointing guns at politicians.
Right, but how are ridiculous prison sentences and all the myriad life ruining consequences (Including potentially life in prison, 3 strikes and all that) making this equasion better? Big fines is plenty of deterent, It seems that we have this one tool, prison, and its the only one we know about even when its the wrong tool.Surely theres smarter ways than just piling more misery on the already bloated prison system
But this is a hypothetical. I'm not aware of *any* cases of this actually happening. A plane crashing into a drone for the most place is going to just break the drone. Those Cessnas are surprisingly durable little planes and people regularly survive them crashing
Yeah. I get the need to crack down, but with the absurdly high imprisonment rate in the US and the extremely serious implications of having a felony on the rap sheet this is surely overkill. Big huge fine, sure, as long as the judge has the discretion to differentiate between ignorance and malice. But prison and a felony rap? Too much. And keep in mind , Colorado is a three strikes state , so we have to consider the possibility of someone doing a mandatory extreme length prison sentense for flying a drone, possibly with the misguided intention of being helpful somehow
