According to Macklemore, Sheeran was told by venues to cut him, or cancel the whole tour. Sheeran tries to remain non-political as part of his brand. But it really feels like we're up against the sad point where, if just saying "don't genocide people" makes you "political", then refusing to be political makes you a piece of shit.
I think a lot of artists are still riding this line between staying safe and potentially nuking their entire career. I won't act like that's an easy decision for anyone to make, but obviously looking from the outside it's easy to see what the right decision is.
Time will tell. There's still time for Ed to walk out on stage at his biggest show of the tour, throw a fist in the air, and say Free Palestine. I've had zero thoughts about him up until this point, but that would at least give me one shred of respect for him.
The only thing on the AUR is a recipe to build the package on arch. In a perfect world, the AUR contains a build recipes for every package in existence. It's always up to the user to be discerning about what they install on their system.
I don't think retail was a misstep when it comes to milking whales, it's just not a compelling MMO. So to them, it's remained a massive success.
I'm also curious about WoW: Forever, mostly because I've been hopeful that any studio would see the hype around classic wow and realize there is demand for the old format of MMOs; back before all modern conveniences were added to remove any friction between players. I've longed for an experience akin to vanilla, but completely new and unsolved and populated by people who just want to experience organic player interaction.
Do they know that scammers can use info they gather about them to run scams on their loved ones pretending to be them?
Do they know that there are legitimate reasons to want privacy? Ex. a journalist investigating a politician or corporation, or a single mom trying to keep themselves and their kids away from a crazy ex.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
You might just be in a bubble of privacy-minded people. I know many people who would hand over their phone unlocked at the drop of a hat. Their digital lives just don't mean anything to them. But more likely, they don't appreciate the damage someone can do with that access.
But why does that make a difference? Regardless of whether you reverse engineer an API or have the full documentation available, when you translate from it to something else, you're building the same thing: an API translator. It doesn't change whether it's an emulator.
Traditionally, "emulator" refers to hardware emulation. APIs are reverse engineered, mocked, translated, etc. all the time, but we don't call it "emulation".
Even simply mimicking the behavior of a unified virtual memory space is not called "emulation", unless there are hardware-specific quirks that need to be emulated (which may very well be the case for PS5 caches, I don't know).
You said it's emulation because it handles ps5's graphics APIs and unified memory. I noted that proton is also translating vulkan to another graphics API. You said it's different because the api we're targeting is proprietary and needs to be reverse engineered, implying that is the distinction. Right?
So then doesn't that imply that if we did the same thing, but without needing to reverse engineer anything, it would now be an apples-to-apples comparison with what proton is doing?
Ok, so if it's translating to a reverse engineered API, it's emulation. But if it uses the proprietary documentation and does the same exact translation it....wouldn't be emulation anymore? What part are we saying is being emulated again?
My partner is a clinical psychologist. She says this is one of those lines that gives away a patient's narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis. Because a narcissist never feels about themselves how they need others to feel about them.
Claiming that the removal of a brand new surveillance technology is the cause for an untenable surge in traffic violations is crazy. How did we survive until now?
Remember that you don't feel temperatures the way you think you do, you feel the rate of heat transfer between your body and the thing you're touching. As the top commenter said, most likely the handle is made of a material with a different heat conductivity.
there is no such thing as a perfect way to draw districts and at the end of the day just choosing which algorithm is used will benefit some people over others
This is the nature of all science. All science is wrong, it's just a matter of how far off it is. The goal is always to approximate the correct solution, always getting incrementally closer, knowing we will never hit it exactly.
But to argue "science can never be perfectly accurate, therefore we should throw out any attempt to and go with some other method instead" represents the core problem with democracy in the US.
redraw all districts, regions, and precincts in simple squares and rectangles...Once you hit either a certain number of people or a certain amount of land mass then that’s it. Make another zone.
If only it were a problem so simple a 5th grader could solve it. But people aren't evenly distributed, and land doesn't vote.
In reality, it is a very hard problem, but there has been a ton of scientific research on fairness algorithms in this space. We don't need a solution from a 5th grader, we need a solution from all the experts on the subject that humans have to offer. The only reason we don't is the same reason we still use FPTP voting: so that politicians can game them.
Keepass has always been great. If you aren't regularly sharing account logins with other people, you just have a file you can sync using whatever method you want. For clients, I recommend KeepassDX on android, and KeePassXC on PC.

Wait, which is it? A ghost gun is a real gun, not a toy.
Edit: oh my bad. Those were two separate incidents.

I can't believe Valheim just left EA. It's literally been over 5 years!
Do they know about algorithmic pricing? Most people don't like the idea of a company charging them more based on how desperate they are.
Do they know about DHS' new Predictive Policing.

Ah I see. So what makes kytyps5 an emulator given that proton is emphatically not an emulator?
I'm trying to understand, what is being emulated?
You said it's emulation because it handles ps5's graphics APIs and unified memory. I noted that proton is also translating vulkan to another graphics API. You said it's different because the api we're targeting is proprietary and needs to be reverse engineered, implying that is the distinction. Right?

Isn't Proton solving the same problem though?

And what say you of peer reviewed district drawing algorithms that are literally designed to minimize all provided sources of bias?
Something tells me when you hear the word "algorithm" you don't think "math proof", you think "recommendation".
