Would you say that industries with heavy network effects tend towards monopolies, while those without tend to produce more competition?

Not really. Just label it as "Vintage Honey", write "Experience the taste of honey taken from Egyptian tombs" and add in very tiny letters at the bottom "From 2016 harvest". As long as you don't claim it&#

At this point it's fair to say that anyone waiting on F-35 would have been better served by just ordering more Warthogs.

Yeah, this is typical male group dynamics. Same would happen if I were to suggest Friends instead of baseball. I wonder though, how do groups of women solve that?

Another interesting way of dithering would be http://johanneskopf.de/publications/blue_noise/ but that might take away from the sought aesthetics.

Like, say, IFS in bash. Have you ever needed to set IFS? Do you know what it does? I've set it maybe 5 times and practically each one was to $'\n' so I can read newline-delimited input values in a while loop. But I appreciate

If you're interested in Linux-specific benchmarks, https://phoronix.com/ has some, and in general http://anandtech.com and http://www.hardocp.com .

I am pretty sure that Intel management engine can do that, though obviously it doesn't... Yet

No, see, home-taping was illegal and in the physical world you can't break the law as easily as in the lawless wasteland that is the internet.

It's pretty good, got me at 0.76. It seems you can switch patterns to make it go down, but if you just mash f and d it rises pretty quickly.

Parent is talking about a small sub-minority of people. Not large enough to form their own church or provide a diverse society to network in.

Really nice and clean. Would prefer it if it included cyrillic characters and more latin ones to cover all European languages (e.g. Polish ł is missing, Czech š, č and probably several Hungarian letters).

Artists who use Linux always seemed like a crazy bunch. Btw, if anyone needs a simple image editor for Linux, I can't recommend Pinta enough. It's basically Paint.NET. Gimp didn't have the one feature I need - drawing lines,

I thought unsigned underflow is defined as wrapping?

Oh, so then on C++ you can check if pointer-to-T p is within T a[sz]; by doing (a == p || std::less(a, p)) && (std::less(p, a + sz))

Interesting. What if I use memcpy and memcmp? As in, void foo(void *a, void *b) { char ca[sizeof(void*)]; char cb[sizeof(void*)]; memmove(ca, &a, sizeof(void*)); memmove(cb, &b, sizeof(void*)); as

If you bought the software and can't understand the EULA, aren't you entitled to legal counsel by the makers? I imagine you could stir up quite a shitstorm if they refuse, i.e. "company X tries to bind you to terms they DENY

That's a micro-optimisation that's absolutely worthless. Even if you do pay the cost of indexing an array every single time, that's just a single instruction to fetch the address. The compiler is absolutely capable of caching

That's honestly good news, Apple are one of the few companies that might invest enough money in R&D to make these displays viable. I remember that the first versions had terrible failure rates.

Then you start writing GreaseMonkey scripts and patching the APIs they use.

Because it's really, and I mean REALLY hard to teach the computer to create stylised illustrations from a 3d scene. Even harder, to actually animate the scene geometry in a way that corresponds to what a human animator would draw. Thin

To expand on copperx, they might be. Since you can have several versions of a lib installed and the kernel<->userspace interface is stable, if you can get the old versions you need for your distro, then you can run the application. At

Gtk (at least from 3 onwards) doesn't even aim to be cross- desktop on Linux, let alone cross-platform. Meaning, your gtk apps will always look and behave according to the Gnome conventions on all platforms, which could be what you wa

You should be a bit careful with implementations and keep in mind that you can't split a number larger than the prime you've picked. I've seen people go "oh I'll just split an N-byte value into M * N-byte values, sp

At that point it sounds like it would be easier to jab an electrode in your neck matrix-style and have your body go through a programmed exercise while you watch a movie or something.

And this is why I use Discord. The only still sane option. It's a shame you can't use multiple accounts on the phone natively, but there are tools for that.

You could use a hash-based password generator and write the input seed, plus the constraints for the password. Or keep the password verbatim, it's not like the site is really secure anyway.

Basic Income is very, VERY far away from the Utopia in that experiment. It means enough money to cover rent, utilities and food. For anything more, you still have to study, work, etc. Also, it's one experiment, that I haven't se
