Same. It allowed me to create an account with just an e-mail address, but soon after the account was suspended for "unusual activity" and the only way to unlock it was with a phone number. At this point I gave up.

Cool. Looks like a fancier version of Dear ImGui.

Yes. Low corruption, low taxes (zero corporate tax for income received from outside the country), and you can even open bank accounts in foreign currencies.

When I was in Argentina a few years ago there were money changers peddling dollars on every corner in downtown Buenos Aires, at a time this was illegal (Cristina was president).

This country should have never normalized favelas. Just 50 years ago, places like Singapore and Seoul used to have slums that looked a lot like Brazilian favelas. But they invested in public housing and now look like sci-fi cities from the

This is really cool, would love to see this sugar cube running Doom. But unless I'm missing something he doesn't say anything about how to go about building this thing?

> But it's not the sweeper service that will make the city beautiful Sure, but you can't force by law those decrepit buildings along the Minhocao to renovate. At least with advertising income they would be able to afford a pain

The solution should be simple: allow billboard ads, but tax them based on surface area. Use the tax revenue to hire more street sweepers. This shouldn't be hard to implement, as the city is already quite effective at fining businesses

Highly debatable whether the policy has achieved its goal of a "clean city". The city is uglier and dirtier than ever, especially downtown. A least billboards covered the decay (and were a source of income to buildings).

Yeah, I think they're testing if someone will recognize that division by 0.19 is approximately equal to multiplication by 5 and ballpark the answer.

Many developing countries go through a phase when fertility/mortality rates start to decline, and for a while they'll get an economic boost while the working-age population grows at a faster rate than the non-working-age populatio

Yes, happened to Brazil. When you've squandered your demographic dividend without escaping poverty it's basically game over.

Because being poor sucks?

Worst part is that the cryptominer probably made $1.32...

Yeah, I think we switched to coke during the Industrial Revolution not because it's a better fuel than charcoal, but because we were running out of trees.

If you want to get a feel for the zeitgeist at the time, check out the movie Miracle Mile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mile_(film)

> My own theory is that the root cause is decades of wide-spread awareness of global warming. Back when I were a kid people were afraid of nuclear winter, or getting fried by UV radiation because of aerosols, or 10 billion people in 2010

From your link, I found this a bit odd: > As video games get more photo realistic (...) the demand for rendering is going to grow immensely. I don't see what a decentralized render farm has to do with video games, it's never go

I mean, the system could be using Mesa with the llvmpipe driver. Software rendering but OpenGL 4.5 compliant. That's why I suggested looking at the output of glxinfo.

by f00zz 5y ago
Maybe it's using software rendering? Try to run `glxinfo` and look for the OpenGL renderer string.

At first I thought it was just doing bump mapping on the water surface (with some hack for the caustics)... then I dragged the sphere. Pretty impressive.
