Just save the label. Then you use generative techniques when they want to retrieve the image.

I once thought about doing something similar too, but in the end I never tried. I guess it's not difficul, you just have to write a good deal of code to support all the operations.

Yes, they could. But, somewhat surprisingly, they don't. They prefer to introduce features that violate users' privacy.

Well, isn't DRM basically the enforcement of a license?

That is classical slavery. GP mentioned modern slavery, which is somewhat different.

To me it could totally make sense. It depends on the context, but I can very well see contexts where such a choice could make sense. For example, in line of principle it would make sense, for an RSA implementation, to accept to construct a

That's true for any language. Computers are finite state machines, though with a lot of states, therefore no actual computer can really run a Turing complete language. As many mathematical things, Turing completeness is an abstraction

Because if you comment out the code you don't benefit any more from the compiler checking that the inner block is still legal, or from your IDE to do the refactoring operations you want. The code would bit rot much faster in a comment

Maybe we're just using different words. To me the "shape" of a pixel is the "shape" of the sampling filter you're using, and assuming that I stay by my first comment: you can choose whatever distribution you wa

The thing I am concerned about with SciHub is its centralized nature. So far it has resisted everything, but supposed that eventually Elsevier manages to land Elbakyan in jail, or hack back SciHub and delete its content, what would happen?

Well, you can model pixels as you wish and you can translate coordinates as you wish, as long as you are consistent with your assumptions. Modelling pixels as points (i.e., delta distributions) instead of squares or other continuous distrib

And that's great, but there is more in a laptop than Intel components. And you're not always lucky on that side.

by giomasce 6y ago
Most laptops are more or less in the same situation as M1. Maybe they different quantitatively, but not qualitatively: devices do not have (sufficient) specs available and people need to reverse engineer them if you want to run any free OS

I don't think it is "by design". Many Debian contributors are frustrated as well by the packaging processes and tools, but it turns out that it is not that easy to coordinate the work of thousands of people, most of whose con

I suppose that's not just incompetence. I mean, it happens to be incompetent when incompetence lets you pay your workers less...

To me the best access way is the Telegram bot. Fast, keeps your files easily accessible and is shared with other devices.

After all, computer science is basically a branch of mathematics.

Just reached this HN entry via my self hosted tiny tiny RSS. Long live RSS! Fortunately RSS took off enough before social networks, so that many website still more or less support it.

Quite agree that Amazon is a cheap target: they do very bad things and they are able to do them at scale; one might argue even in a monopoly situation. Doesn't make stuff fairer. Rest assured it's not my only target, if that'

"As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues". A bold claim for a company widely known to exploit and underpay workers in distribution warehouses.

Though giving quite a show, Trump ended up leaving his place and Boden or his collaborators never were arrested for not showing up at the police station while in a coma. Putin just showed the world he is of a different advice. Sure, nothing

Hey, didn't notice the nick! Hi! Well, if you're speaking about non-negative integers, you don't have the problem of the primality of negative numbers. If you're considering relative integers, still you don't really

Unique factorization is always meant up to unities. You haven't really lost anything.

Yes, see for example https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/09/19/fine-... . CrossOver and Proton are rather independent as codebases, except they're both constantly rebased on Wine. O

Not forks. The whole code for Proton is in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton and its submodules. There are many game-specific patches, i.e., patches that were more or less explicitly included to make one specific

It is meant to be integrated into Steam, so building and using it without Steam might be a little less straightforward than pure Wine, but you can definitely do it. The launched script expects environment variables and other stuff from Stea
