This is exactly why I switched to Aurora. I couldn't even install Balatro from the Play Store.

I believe copyright timeframes have gotten WAY out of hand and need to be reigned in to something more sensible, but I still think it's a valuable concept and don't want to see it abolished. Patents on the other hand have become a

I don't disagree. But if you're in that position, surely you'd be better off emptying the cache and disabling it?

by CivBase 17d ago
A 10% reduction in cache size in exchange for a 4% slowdown doesn't seem obviously worthwhile to me, especially when it comes at an increase in complexity.

It's "homework" in the sense that it is not bound to the class. It is not due during class and if you can't finish it in class, you'll have to complete it out of class. And I mean setting aside some time during the

It's not necessarily useless. If you make assignments short, provide some time in school to work on it, and do not allow students to use devices with access to general-purpose "AI", then there is a good chance most students w

What you describe is a goal we should absolutely strive for - and one we are clearly falling short of. At the same time it's foolish to describe the US as being on the opposite side of the spectrum. I dare say it's even dangerous,

You put way too much faith in kids' desire to learn and their ability to make responsible choices. > Homework should be optional material for self study, evaluated by teachers if you choose to do it but never forced. My wife is a te

Git gets you 90% of the way there. Sounds like you just want a decentralized review solution to go with it.

Good. Git is a decentralized version control solution. It's built for this. The centralization around GitHub was beneficial for the initial proliferation of Git, but has long since become a net negative. The "community" you s

If you're still using Facebook, it's because you're required to or you're the kind of person who won't be fazed by this.

You are comparing individual human observation with an automated surveillance network. Their capabilities are vastly different. It's like comparing a taser with an M1 Abrams tank.

Why on earth would I go to a game store to buy a code?

It guarantees a minimum balance of corn and rye in the resulting blend. If you have a whiskey that you know has an appropriate mash bill (e.g. Rittenhouse BiB) then you could be boring and just use that. But there's also more to a whis

> People really did not like Trump they just didn't like incumbents more. In 2016 Trump got 63M votes. Clinton got 66M. In 2020 Trump got 74M votes. Biden got 81M. In 2024 Trump got 77M votes. Harris got 75M. Trump's popularity

Sentiments like this are why things will not improve. Neither side needs to practice any introspection because they're the good side and when the bad side wins it's just unavoidable because voters are dumb. Keep doubling down. Sur

Trump 1 was so bad, people showed up in droves to vote for anything else. That's how we ended up with a dimensia president. Biden was so bad, people showed up in droves to vote for anything else. That's how we ended up in a war wi

> Or was it just some companies were overvalued? That's what a bubble is. Calling AI a "bubble" is not calling it useless or a fad. It's just pointing out that companies in the sector are overvalued. And it's imp

Coding litterally is cheap. We outsource it for wages that you'd expect of a bottom-level fast food employee. We've been doing that for many years. It doesn't take a 4 year education to learn how to use loops, functions, an

I'd say "coding" has been solved, but that was never the bottleneck. Coding is cheap. It has been for a long time. Ten years ago my company was outsorcing all its coding to the cheapest people they could find in India. But mo

I'm left wondering why I should bother adopting - much less paying for - these kinds of projects. If it's that trivial to throw together, what value are you even delivering for me? Why wouldn't I just use the same tricks to

Graphs tell stories and the only story this one actually tells is "29-year high". It doesn't do a good job of establishing trends and its sample size is too low to discern how significant of an outlier this is. Actually there
