All code has to be written in assembly at some point. If you're making your compiler implement C++14 move semantics, for example, you may need to write portions of that code in assembly. If you create a new microcontroller, you'll also have to implement a compiler to assembly somewhere. Assembly is also hard thus lots of people are trying to find an answer and probably don't find the right answer the first time.
The idea of "streaming games to your TV so you don't have to have a console" has been around since around 2000. Here's a complete gravey^H^H^H list of some of the companies who have tried. Even technologies like NVidia's shield or Steam's ability to stream within the intranet don't seem to have taken off. Google entry into this market seems foolhardy at best.
Newsflash, motherfuckers; don't be chumps. This is the 'justice" system the way it's supposed to. What; you didn't think it existed to benefit you, did you??
Where would someone get such an idea? Here:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. ~ The Fifth Amendment [emphasis mine]
So yes, the justice system was designed to work for everyone. Anyone who says it shouldn't be is an enemy of democracy.
On KDE and MacOS, alt+tab goes from application to application, while alt+~ goes between windows of the same application. This is super helpful when you have a bunch of terminals open and want to switch between them or multiple web browser windows and want to switch. I wish this feature were available on Windows.
Should a Christian book store be forced to carry Christopher Hitchens or Salman Rushdie books?
Amazon is free to stock and promote what Amazon wants to stock and promote -- the same as any other business. The first amendment protects against government interference in speech -- and it's what Orwell warned us about -- not the ability of a sovereign merchant to choose the products they sell.
Back in the bad old days of the 90's and early 2000's, any console games were built a rendering engine from scratch which was written for the hardware. Nowadays, most games are built on top of a rendering engine which is then ported to each console as needed. This advance is as groundbreaking in its scope as when Grace Hopper first introduced the compiler to make computer languages software development. The biggest name in this space is Unreal Engine. Whether it's PUBG, Fortnite, or Rocket League, each of these games are available on a wide range of consoles, PC and (in PUBG's case) iOS and Android BECAUSE they rely on this intermediary layer rather than by directly programming on a chipset. By extension, any gamer can simply tweak their GFX settings to what they like (most competitive gamers prefer a smooth framerate over GFX detail -- an option console gamers simply don't get).
Other graphics engines which power games like Farcry, Witcher, or Metal Gear Solid/Pro Evolution Soccer follow a similar pattern. A secondary advantage here is going to a new piece of hardware (as it is released). C++ has also matured a bunch since the 90's (e.g. platform independent threading) which has also allowed programmers to be much more generic.
Google's algorithms attempt to optimize "engagement", which is quite different from truth. The things we find engaging are those which trigger the ancient reptilian parts of our brains into anger, fight-or-flight and above all turn off the pre-frontal cortex responsible for executive function and reasoning. Google's entire existence was based on being better at curating search results than Hotbot, Altavista, or Yahoo. It will continue to curate. The question becomes "How does one curate results?" is much like "What menu items should our cafeteria offer?". If Google were a cafeteria, they would offer nothing but junk food and liquor as choices, whine about nutrition -- as this would be the most profitable course. You throw "AI" or "Machine Learning" into optimization these problems and they'll find the same unhealthy optimizations as a human would while absolving the engineers of blame because "a computer did it".
but now AT&T customers watching HBO are subsidizing Verizon customers watching HBO.
AT&T customers already subsidize HBO since AT&T owns them. I'm sure they won't bundle HBO with my internet bundle and keep trying to sell me a land line though. Synergy.
Anything depending on anything approaching real-time responses cannot use Java.
For anything in robotics, it's absolutely useless -- or anything that runs a car, a tractor or a rocket ship. Medical devices are the same. The only game of significance ever written in Java was Minecraft. These aren't niche industries in my mind, The only time you would want to use Java for something is if your life didn't depend on it, in which case it's probably a toy.
Most developers don't switch jobs because their employer is going out of business
Isn't that the definition of a startup? Not all of them succeed, but the failure is hardly on any single individual. At worst, any engineer's worst fault is idealism -- it's management that tends to be deceptive. On the other end of the spectrum, you find a bunch of people using VB to pull SQL queries into Excel spreadsheets that have been there for decades -- but they pay well because no one in their right mind would ever tolerate such a system.
If you have any tips on finding a Goldilocks zone please share:)
You know, human civilization somehow made it through its first 5,000 years without any means to "digitally transfer value without central control". That doesn't seem to be a problem that's been holding back human achievement in any significant way
Money laundering is a $2 trillion industry and it's excellent for that. Or maybe you're in North Korea and you want to carry out a ransomware attack. How will you possibly get paid with all those sanctions? Wanna sell drugs on the dark web and are looking for a currency? Bitcoin certainly solves all of these problems for criminal enterprises and pariah states.
There was a guy in Australia who decide to implant a chip inside himself a while back. (also here). Still have no idea what he was smoking when he changed his name to Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow.
Of course there are still some bad ones, particularly for textiles, but the idea that it's "slave labour" that is driving China's competitiveness is a myth.
You do remember the Foxconn suicides right? Or here's a more recent article. I'll quote: When I look back at the photos I snapped, I can’t find one that has someone smiling in it. It does not seem like a surprise that people subjected to long hours, repetitive work and harsh management might develop psychological issues. That unease is palpable – it’s worked into the environment itself. As Xu said: “It’s not a good place for human beings.”
While I agree with Trump on virtually nothing, slapping tariffs on goods produced with subpar labor conditions is EXACTLY the purpose of a tariff. As far as other sources, you could always manufacture in Dresden Germany which produces AMD microprocessors and shouldn't be affected by said tariff which would encourage investment in a country that shares our values and ideals.
This is quite profitable. 21st Century Fox's share price has gone from ~$24 to ~$47 a share today -- which beating both major index funds by quite a bit. Let's face it: a boring, peaceful government which takes care of its citizens makes for terrible TV -- who watches C-SPAN? Hiring a reality TV host has really helped with ratings and of course, and the media companies who have benefited have a financial interest in keeping it that way.
Everyone (at least in) has seen street preachers with megaphones screaming about about Jebus and how we're going to hell if we don't repent.
Now imagine if he decided to get to every store in the mall and pull that act in the mall. After getting kicked out the fifth store, you could argue that he's being "deplatformed", when really, no one wants to hear him. Unlike the mall, people online can create new accounts pretty easily so no one is truly deplatformed unless they don't want to comply with the standards of acceptable speech spelled out on each platform.
Given that your comment is currently sitting at a +5 rating shows you can. If you would have talked about rapists and murderers coming over the boarder, that'd be another story and you'd probably get modded flamebait.
The entire problem with online conversation is the lack of any meaningful user moderation, and instead we get Facebook or Twitter trying to play the role of judge when really it should be up to other users.
Kindness is sorely lacking in our culture right now precisely because it's not profitable. Profitable is Jerry Springer problem solving -- throwing chairs at each other, insulting one another, and that's just Steve Ballmer -- but this sort of expression seldom solves problems. It mostly makes them worse -- which is perfect for a show that wants you to tune in next week.
One of the reasons I keep coming back to this space is seeing conservatives and liberals actually talking to each other on occasion about the types of values we should have as AniMojo and SuperKendell just demonstrated. There is no "silver bullet" but instead a practice of kindness -- where we all fall but get back up again as better human beings. None of us are perfect, but the point of a code like this, is that we try -- knowing that we'll fail sometimes -- rather than spewing insults at each other.
Now in terms of morality, both deeds are of course gravely sinful, despite being mutual (notwithstanding the illicit power dynamic in the case of Bill, though Hillary still refuses to acknowledge it).
Are you implying that Hillary needs to apologize to Monica Lewinsky because of her husband's wandering penis? That's just weird. Generally, it's the cheating parties who apologize to the spouse who didn't cheat.
Here's John Oliver gloating about founding a total BS church to expose how anything, no matter how ridiculous, qualifies for a church. Is it that hard for you to see that's what he's doing here too? If money is speech, a position he disagrees with, you're morally obliged to participate in said system in hopes of changing it, possibly by showing how plainly ridiculous you think it is through your participation.
You're right about one thing though -- he knows exactly what he's doing.
None of these statements is OK. None of those jokes are funny. It is never OK to "unpeople" someone. It's not a fair tool in a political argument.
Neither is the whataboutism of your argument. Assuming the role of the hapless victim, then get away blameless for anything. Whatever indecency your inner snowflake has suffered for this barrage of verbal assaults pales in comparison to, for example, taking medicare expansion money in red states which would have saved lives by providing people with healthcare, which you instead choose not to address by reframing the argument to be about yourself.
Many atheists cannot tell the difference between the fiction bin and the rubbish bin.
Admiring and emulating the fidelity of the Three Musketeers, the deduction ability of Sherlock Holmes or any character other fictional character is the same as how one should read the wisdom of Solomon or the compassion of Jesus. Much better than say, admiring a character from an Ayn Rand novel who are amazing at justifying to themselves and their reader about being an douchbag.
Have you ever voted with your team on changes to your development procedures, including frequency of meetings, choice of tools or direction of development?
If you haven't, you're working in a waterfall dictatorship that calls itself Agile much like North Korea is a "Democratic Republic". The whole point of Agile is the developers and the stake holders create a system where their opinions are truly valued (hence voting) and thus get buy-in from all parties. Otherwise it's just a cargo cult.
So the people with a vested interest in propping up traditional media and censorship miraculously discover in a poll that... Americans want more censorship!
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think means. Traditional platforms now have to spend part of their news hour debunking myths like PizzaGate, the link between vaccines and autism, or the flat earth theory. And Google/Facebook/etc are happy to spread these lies because it helps their bottom line by increasing "engagement" which furthers their bottom line: advertising.

Shigeru Miyamoto created Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and evenradically different games from established series. Mario64 got a 94 while Mario Odyssey got a 97. Zelda N64 got a 99 while got a 97.
Fools! It might be terrible to the ego to admit that Nintendo's old games are better than the new ones.
You're thinking of Sega.
