With GPU acceleration, that 228 to 489s becomes a fraction of a second :) https://belfortlabs.com/blog/belfort-partners-with-lg-on-enc...

I just got an email notification and while I can understand that they're doing this (all those GB must add up to a significant cost), the relatively short notice seems unnecessary.

Even having a publisher doesn't address the underlying issue: There are simply too many 'indie' games. Relatively simple high-concept low-fidelity retro games don't have a huge audience and that audience is getting swamp

Knapsack is only about weight, while this is about (most likely) packing 3D cuboids. But that problem is NP-hard, too ;)

But what percentage of systems is actually ONLY implementable using a block-chain-based cryptocurrency? I love decentralisation as much as the next guy but it's not a feature. Apart from the obvious authority-circumvention (both positi

Clicking yes might not even be necessary: I recently went to a laywer-oriented event (IANAL) that discussed the GDPR and it had a cheerful talk about "Alternatives to Consent" The talk listed all the possible ways the law allows y

This xkcd came to my mind when I read that: https://xkcd.com/1019/ It's sobering to think about how easy it must be (for a sufficiently funded organisation) to effectively determine "public discourse" on

I'm sorry to say this but your country uses an outdated, deprecated implementation of Democracy. While we respect it greatly for its historical value as one of the first stable implementations, it is no longer recommended for productio

That's a great idea! Not only does it just 'feel right', it also prevents some of the legal mess people were seeing with effectively moonlighting for the hiring company.

As a minor, your parents decided for you, but once you're 18 nothing is stopping you from either trying to re-negotiate the contract (i.e. become politically active) or trying to find a better deal (emigrate). You can also decide to si

What's the point behind Gulden, though? Why do I need a cryptocurrency for anything they're doing? Do they allow anonymous gulden -> IBAN transfers? If yes, that'd be a unique feature but also one that has obvious potentia

That's a great concept: The fact that a list of {name, email, mobilephone number} allows you to effectively re-create your own network wherever you want is pretty cool. I read the open/closed in the article as less about that and

For some reason I get a horizontal scrollbar - there's a bit of white background to the right that doesn't seem like it's supposed to be there.

I know you're just using it as an off-hand metaphor but fire is actually one of the most useful tools in preventing and fighting large fires (e.g. forest fires).

Short answer: They didn't survive. IIRC a significant portion of all humans born in past centuries simply died as infants/children, usually from things that are trivially preventable today with basic hygiene, good nutrition and an

I think the long tail isn't an issue. We'll probably have dual stack equipment for the next few decades. What matters is getting the large websites on IPv6 so that people browsing on mobile (usually NAT64) or developing nations (u

It makes sense that Google would be fully IPv6 enabled, after all they are the mobile-first company and IPv6 can make mobile connection experiences a lot better, especially during peak network usage times.

That's not really very fast at all. Most cars can easily go faster than that, the only limits are the human drivers and their pesky problems with reacting quickly enough at high speeds. Sure, no car could go that fast in a city but I&#

If they can kill the competition they can then crank the prices back up and profit of this for years and years. It feels slightly 'evil' but it does make business sense, especially if they know they can outlast their competitors.

Yes, but those would be two assembly instructions each. The basic idea of using lea over 'movl $ebp, $eax; addl 0x80,$eax'ist that we can shave off a cycle because lea can be executed in a single cycle. However I wonder how much

Countries that have a very high focus on the 'rehab' part of prison usually don't issue lifetime and certainly not multiple-lifetime sentences. Instead they tend to send people into mandated psychiatric care (in practice ofte
