> disassembling the stars to make them live a thousand times longer Why would they do that when there are insane amounts of start with billions of years of life ahead of them. What purpose would that serve at this point in time?

If you use your car as battery during the night it won't have energy in the morning when you need it. It defeats the purpose of having a car.

> So people published code that could be referenced and copied on GitHub. There was no ethical problem, the world, society were happy. This code has different licenses. You can't just copy code randomly without checking license firs

> 99% of the developers who wrote that code won't mind This is completely unsubstantiated. I for one would mind microsoft profiting from the closed source code I wrote.

GPU driver, most devs are senior. Hundreds of thousands of lines of code in the "slice" my team is interested in. Team for our component has on it's own has probably over 40 people. Driver should be even more prone to program

I work in probably what is considered one of the least "safe" languages: C++ The issues that Rust is supposed to help with are simply not what we spent time on. All the bugs reported are pretty much exclusively root caused to &quo

This article is super overcomplicated. All it had to say was that rust tells you when you keep reference to on stack variable after it goes out of scope. Context provided adds nothing. I must say - as someone who doesn't use rust - I h

To be fair youtube is not really social media in traditional sense. It's more of a content delivery platform. It's not a place where you go to watch pixtures from your friends holiday or political hot takes but more traditional en

Are any NFTs at all actually on chain? First time I hear about this.

by shuger 5y ago
NFTs are completely useless for this. Why would game use blockchain to store ownership of an item? There are exactly 0 benefits to doing that instead just tracking it on their won servers in old normal database. Since anyone can create dupl

It's not going to end this quickly. Whichever side loses will keep going at it until they exhaust all legal paths.

When I was a kid I kept hearing in the media that in 20 years oceans levels will rise by 7meters which would mean the big cities near me would be under water. 20 years have passed and water level is the same. The problem is there is two iss

Is that what research says? Winters in Poland have been getting warmer not colder. When I was a kid every winter snow started falling in december and started letting up late february or in march. For the past few years there was almost no s

Gender has nothing to do with this. You just can't tell someone to type code into google docs and expect it to just work and worst off all judge a persons skill on this basis. It takes minimal experience of programming to learn this. H

The problem is it won't run. It was written in google docs without IDE. Everyone who programmed in their lives knows this. You cannot write out a whole algorithm like that and not make any even trivial error. This is like writing code

by shuger 5y ago
That is irrelevant. Asking someone to type non trivial code outside of IDE and then expecting it to compile and run without issues is lunacy. Even junior programmers know this. The interviewer in this story was either an amateur, an idiot o

That's an advantage. Since google tuned up their engine to treat authoritative results as better their searches became absolute dogshit. You search for a very specific thing and all the results are big sites that have said something th
