As someone on reddit mentioned yesterday "Jia Cheong Tan" is an anagram of "CIA Agent John". Which may be accidental or a funny pun by the backdoor coder.

You can disable that the dialog shows up, then it's just a subtle icon. That it often doesn't show up at all is indeed a bit confusing. I can translate german to english or french to german, but english to anything doesn't se

Not just with his family. He actually wrote himself an AI with some 60 page Excel monster which could play the game quite well. I worked with him for a short time around end of the nineties and he was incredibly dedicated to his game. He ex

70% of the people in current Bundestag have finished University and another 15% some other colleges. 5% studied without finishing. With a clear upward trend in those numbers each legislature period. I'd consider that a high enough numb

Just got the new Firefox on my tablet earlier and ublock origin did unfortunately not work well after the update. Ads are no longer removed, but replaced by whitespace with a loading icon in the middle. I'm still considering if I find

I'm not allowed to have liked it? Damn. edit: Jokes aside. The hardware did what I expected from it - and for a rather nice price.

Registered developers can do sideloading, no info yet if that will continue to work. Or if it will be possible for users to register as Oculus developers in the future or if that is shut down as well. If hardware can still be used there are

I haven't seen that tool yet (been a few months since I developed for Oculus), so I can't tell yet anything about that (and looks like a Mac app from screenshot, so not sure if it'll work for me). The first solution described

I don't know about Palm as I never had one. But I can still code for my first Android phone. And I do not ask for support, but for opening up sideloading so users can install apps from PC when the shop closes.

You do like hardware getting locked down for development less than 2 years after it's release? (edit: OK, a bit over 2 years - 31. May 2018, still not that old) I don't care about the shop. I just wish people could continue to dev

Unfortunately just the kind of experience you can expect when buying non-open systems. Company loses interest in hardware - it can stop everyone developing for it. If they would at least open it up for sideloading so the hardware isn't

Yes, while maintaining code which other people wrote who are no longer around I often have to figure out what they might have tried to do. Being able to see how code looked before someone rewrote it can often give you an idea what it's

Not sure about boot speed. At least on my system booting Debian became noticably slower in Debian 8,9 and again in 10. Maybe simply because software got larger or because I didn't do clean installs but upgraded my existing system, I do

Ogre is a free open source library with a liberal MIT license unlike Unity or Unreal which are both proprietary tools. And in many projects you'll write your own editor so the lack of a good editor doesn't always matter. Being ope

I got (mostly) rid of the brain fog when I bought a better mattress. Which was rather a surprise as I thought feeling like that was simply one of the things you have to get used to when getting older.

It's the biggest blow the EU has given me so far. And yes, my support for the EU got weakened a lot by this. Just... the guys voting for this law had generally been the converative and more nationalistic parties which usually argue aga

The Oculus Go lasts around 2 hours. Then you have to load batteries for 4 hours. Although they don't recommend it - you can buy a long usb-cable and plug it into your PC to get around this (for apps where the cable doesn't get in

Oculus GO is an Android system. No Windows involved. Unfortunately it has replaced the operating system with a shopping mall. You want that free Firefox download? Log-in to Facebook first. Every apk has to go over the shop, no sideloading.

There are infinite recursive processes which can't be encoded in a bitstring. You can only put the results you got so far into one. To get more digits you will have to evaluate the function.

Godot is not a library. It's more like a development environment. You can use scripts and modules inside Godot (including c#). You can't use it as a library.

OK, they stopped the directive to make patenting them generally easier in europe. There are still ways to patent software, usually by saying it's part of a hardware device.

I won't deny that if this one really passes (not yet believing it), then it will be a pretty hard blow to my somewhat pro-EU stance. And yeah, I guess law-makers in the EU are even further disconnected from most people than national po

What about the EU preventing countries from doing such things? There's a lot of countries with governments which really like filters. I'm against _any_ government or organization which proposes such filters, but I do not have much
