    Isn't, or well, shouldn't, it not be about "genders" but rather about whatever you piss on the ring and the floor or not?

    Isn't that the deciding factor?
    Well, unless you've filled the country with Islamists.

    Sony and Nintendo can sell consoles because they have a library of 1st party IPs, first class game publishing operations

    Speaking of which, have you seen the latest trailer of Super Mario Odyssey?

    Say what you want about their re-usage of characters in other games, yet another version of their popular titles, the genre, whatever.. But could you see anyone else making it? With that polish and difference while still being true to the brand / similar enough for it to be exactly what people expect? Taking "the same" game and releasing it once again but still manage to make it different (the polish helps too, looks nice.)

    Wonder how Metroid Prime 4 will look. Sure it would be even better if it could do nice graphics in 4K HDR too.

    German? I said EU.

    I won't consider any nation with restricted freedom of speech and information a democracy by any means because then you can't have educated voters. I will consider all representative democracies shit for not necessarily being according to the will of the people but in the end I will view enforced collectivism and democracy something bad even in the best of worlds because at its best it's the rule of the majority over everyone else and I don't want to be ruled in the first place. So .. There.

    Even if a nation WAS a democracy as soon as you've let it disable the foundation of democracy then any further progress shouldn't be considered the result of democracy. Because the choices or what led up to them wasn't really free. It was rigged.

  12. Re: Why processes instead of threads? on Firefox 54 Arrives With Multi-Process Support For All Users (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    You cannot decide which memory is shared using threads. When you use threads, all threads are the same process, and can read and write the same spaces in memory if you so choose.

    As far as I remember one used whatever locks to make sure the memory isn't used by two threads at the same time but I also assumed they could have both private and the shared RAM. They are the same process but surely threads can have their own memory too? Which isn't accessible by other threads? Or is that just how it's viewed in the language for convenience even though that's not the case? I do understand that some RAM / whatever was allocated before creating another thread or whatever (~15 years since I did anything with that) but I felt so sure it could still be just use for that thread as-well. May be class confusion or whatever but .. I still feel like it should be that way ;D.
    I'm willing to accept some RAM may be shared and I'm also willing to accept if how the OS renders stuff or grant network access or whatever require some parts to be shared between threads anyway. Of course I'm willing to accept anything as long as it come from someone with better knowledge who actually know their stuff say so :D

    But that's not the case here either.

    Also you can of course decide which memory is shared or not using threads too.
