Well friend, it’s a good thing you don’t use a Mac, then.

Credit where credit is due, at least scientologists are the better educated of the bunch. Fuck them both, though.
What are we, 2 months away from ‘this hospital had a nuclear bomb in it!’?
Spoiler: The call mushroom cloud was coming from inside outside the house hospital 😱
I need to try with my user agent set to a Chromebook. Maybe I’ll even get a discount.
That assembly is for a DOS application. It would be more verbose for a modern Linux or Win32 application and probably require a linker script.
But python turns that cute little line up top, into that mess at the bottom.
Technically, not quite. Python is interpreted, so it’s more like “call the print function with this string parameter” gets fed into another program, which calls it’s own functions to make it happen.
I’m probably completely insane and deranged, but I actually like assembly. With decent reverse engineering software like Ghidra, it’s not terribly difficult to understand the intent and operation of isolated functions.
Mnemonics for the amd64 AVX extensions can go the fuck right off a bridge, though. VCVTTPS2UQQ
might as well be my hands rolling across a keyboard, not a truncated conversation from packed single precision floats into packed unsigned quadword integers.
You can believe what you want, but there’s absolutely no way you would be correct. Any large company sponsoring a cyber attack, if caught, would be nailed to the wall and made an example of. The extreme risks are simply not worth the comparatively small reward of reducing a tiny fraction of piracy.
A more realistic and reasonable avenue would have been to sponsor the companies going after IA for copyright infringement as a result of them loaning out unlimited digital copies of books without DRM.
But Timmy is the king of “rules for thee but not for me”
Because a subset of people are and always will be idiots. Remember: some people think unions exist to steal your money, socialism is communist dictatorship propaganda, and privatization of government services is good for everybody.
Obligatory fuck Nintendo, but I also blame the selfish dumbfucks who keep posting videos of themselves playing unreleased games on YouTube and Reddit. If you want nice things contingent on having software which exists in a legal gray area, don’t openly poke the litigious hornets’ nest.
From a theoretical point of view, emulators of modern consoles may actually be illegal. Under the DMCA, emulation for preservation is protected as a periodically-renewed exemption list defined by the library of congress. But, (paraphrasing) “creating or distributing any hardware or software device—or component of such—designed to circumvent DRM technology” is still illegal irrespective of any exemptions. A reasonable (and bullshit) interpretation of that means that any emulator which is capable of bypassing any DRM features (such as decrypting ROM using user-provided keys) is a violation under the act.
I say theoretical because it hasn’t ever actually been tested in a court. Nintendo v. Tropic Haze LLC nearly gave us the answer, but the latter chose to settle instead.
If you’re using a decent development system, you’ll have an executable called diff
installed already :)
Because people are technologically inept and buy into the propaganda that kernel-level anticheat is more effective than the alternative solutions.
Video game grading is a massive scam. Karl Jobst did a series of videos on it, and it’s basically price rigging and speculation investments for profit.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned porn yet. Like it or not, it does drive growth.
It’s not the Chromium team. Google could have added JPEG XL to Android, but that’s been stalled for nearly two years with zero explanation as for why.
The whole thing smells of managerial interference somewhere.
Interestingly, the reference implementation libjxl appears to be a Google project. They’re all over the patents file and CLA.
If Mozilla isn’t merely being hopeful about having the same team create a Rust implementation, that might actually mean there’s internal interest within Google. Assuming they pull it off, the bullshit reason for refusing to add JPEG XL to Chromium might finally stop being a blocker.
Google created the original reference implementation, libjxl. It’s not stupid that they would prefer a Rust rewrite be created by the same team.
That’s quite a generous interpretation. If we’re being real about it, it’s going to be another “you assholes” email from Timmy.
