tl;dr: the creeps and the girls flaunting their sexuality are both assholes and idiots.
Wear revealing clothes and do your absolute best to flaunt your sexuality in public?
People ("creeps") will take notice. Why are you mad? Attention is exactly what you wanted isn't it?
Oh, wait, I know why you're mad. It's because you feel humiliated when people just take pictures of what you're flaunting.
Well you can't have your cake and eat it too, princess. Wear a whore's uniform and try to get extra attention from being sexy and then you'll be treated like a sexual object-- but it's you that's making yourself a sexual object so you have no right to complain.
So, presuming that this is a problem, what should be done about this?
I only see two ways to go:
1. Burqas or some similar regulation to prevent people of both sexes from flaunting their sexuality (and thus getting extra attention or whatever from it).
2. Everyone shut up and let those who choose to play such games reap what they sow and don't give them any sympathy or attention or help.
My vote is for #2
Let the creeps and the attention whores play their stupid games and generate their dumb little drama and get this stupid shit off/.
And here I am without mod points.
So instead I'll just mention that Defense Distributed and their Ghost Gunner project are important ideas-- no matter which side you're on, no matter what your opinion of the people involved, they're still an important thing to consider in all this.
Which ODROID board was it?
My HC2 sysbench's about half as fast as my Dell XPS 13 9360 (2017). That's more than enough performance for me because it's just a NAS after all not a big server running MRI analysis or anything.
These vulnerabilities look like they are almost all problems with the chipset or AMD's equivalent to Intel's Management Engine.
So these aren't quite on par with Spectre and Meltdown.
Some firmware updates should fix almost all of this.
Still, it was sort of an asshole move to only give AMD 24 hours' notice just so they could get their 15 minutes of fame.
And, yes, it's disgusting to see AMD put out products with lots of weaknesses like this.
Can I get a sports car that takes regular gasoline and seats four people? I'm fine with doubling the weight or whatever to just get what I want.
Then buy a Honda Civic.
You want an iPhone that's more durable and has a removable battery? Did you check the Android aisle?
The whole point of the iPhone is the sleekness, the design, the brand. If you're not into that then you're not into the iPhone and you need to stop kidding yourself.
Focus on delivering completely integrated products is what made Apple what they are today.
If they start playing around with things like buying a magazine app here or setting up a cloud thing there then before you know it they're Google and they have no idea who they are, where they're going, or what their product is and neither will their customers.
Librem 5 is a phone that focuses on security by design and privacy protection by default. Running Free/Libre and Open Source software and a GNU+Linux Operating System designed to create an open development utopia, rather than the walled gardens from all other phone providers.
Permit to rent your own property?
Restrictions on where, when, and how you may build on your own property?
License to drive your own car on the roads that your taxes paid for?
Requirements to buy certain goods at certain prices (i.e. healthcare)?
Inheritance tax on the money that you worked all your life for and wanted to leave to your own children?
Restrictions on how much water your toilet can use or what kind of light bulb you can buy and sell?
Demands that your cell phone and all your data be made available to the police at their whim?
Police that spy on your location and intercept your communications?
Laws that allow the government to come and take your property if they feel like it? Only if it's imminently in the public's domain of course... this power will never be abused!
Politicians that become extremely wealthy... all on a government employee's salary... they simply made very wise investments!
What's the matter, citizen? Don't you want to be a good citizen and support your country? You do, don't you, citizen?
Just be grateful that you live in the freest society on the planet! Yes, the very freest and least corrupt! You're welcome.
Now pay your taxes so we can turn around and give the money to those who don't work so they'll vote for us. There's a good lad.
So those aren't beheadings and hideous tortures happening in Mexico and the Middle East?
Sub-saharan Africa, Brazil, and El Salvador are all wonderful and peaceful places to live?
There's not a quiet genocide currently taking place in South Africa?
I could go on, but I think most people get the point.
1. Is someone forcing these people to work for Uber? If they're working for Uber of their own volition then how is it wrong? What right do you have to be outraged at how someone else chooses to spend their time?
2. Some money is better than no money. Earning a small amount is better than earning none. Earning a small amount (i.e. $3 per hour) is better than earning a miniscule amount (i.e. $0.50 per hour). And so it's better to have a job than to not have a job; it's better (probably) to have a crap job than to be a homeless beggar.
3. Do the stats take every situation into consideration or just lump all the money together and take the average and then compare people against the average? For example, is it fair to compare a weekends-only driver to a driver that's working 70 hours per week? Surely the 70 hour driver is earning way more than the weekender. But if they both are working in such a fashion that their work is worth it to each of them personally then how could that be wrong?
At any rate, what's your solution? What do you think the problem is, exactly, and what should be done about it?
You didn't directly say it, that's true.
But it was heavily implied because your post attempted to contradict the OP.
Perhaps you didn't mean to imply what your own opinion was so much as to simply take the OP down a peg or two?
from my understanding a game "dev" does very little programming in the traditional sense
I work on a VR project at my day job (basically a video game). Your statement that we use a "pre-made" game engine is basically like saying that nobody does any "real" programming if they use a library or some code that someone else wrote. In other words: yours is a no-true-scotsman statement.
These guys are mostly doing scripting
We used both C++ and Unreal Script when we were using UDK (Unreal Engine 3). But everything we do now with Unreal 4 is C++ (and some Blueprint stuff to hook the GUI together).
world building, animation, modeling, progress triggers, hit boxes, etc.
Yes, that's the problem domain. And how do you think these things get implemented? With code.
So assuming I'm correct on that, Lint would be useless for this.
You're not really correct on all that. Also Lint and other static analysis tools are useful. John Carmack has some great insight into all this and how static analysis tools can help and fit into game development. As evidence: the Doom 3 source code is pretty generally very good.
For everything that actually is calling the OS a thin C layer in the libraries is used, because it is a difference if you need to to do an "interrupt" or some other way to call the kernel.
There's absolutely zero need to use C. C++ will do exactly the same things (possibly in exactly the same ways) with absolutely no extra overhead compared to C and C++ will do so in an easier, safer, and more readable fashion than C.
Do not misconstrue my statements to be derogatory toward C or C programmers! I'm simply trying to pedantically point out that there's no need to have a "thin layer of C" between C++ and the kernel.
A "well regulated" militia is one that is fit, disciplined, capable of marching together, obeying orders from their officers, and fighting effectively.
Such things were rather on the mind at the time because the discipline, equipment, and training of the British regulars made them formidable opponents compared to the farmers and hunters that made up the American army.
The term "regulation" here has more to do with rules and discipline than with restraint, curtailing, or limiting.
I think this question is a good but tricky question. I think mankind has been struggling for thousands of years to really nail down what it means to be conscious, to think, to understand, to know. The best I response I have is a wimpy one: "People are intelligent, people know and understand, people are conscious. Machines are not."
If you don't know anything about machines or people then this answer won't help.
If one wishes to be intentionally obtuse or if one really wishes to equivocate then again this answer won't help.
But for those who are honestly interested and know a little something about what a machine is and how it differs from a human then I suppose such people don't really need a rigorous dictionary definition to explain to them the difference between themselves and a washing machine.
How can I test your statements?
Well, I should think that TFS and TFA did a pretty good job of it...

Whether or not homosexuality is classified as a disorder, or a benign variation, has little to do with science.
Agreed.
Science can only describe X it absolutely cannot say X is good or bad.
Only humans can judge whether something is good or bad.
