if baby is 100% US citizen then how is that an 'illegal immigrant'? Again, you may call them 'unwanted', and you have right to such opinion. But law is what is written, if they got citizenship then they aren't illegal
People who abuse birthright citizenships are, by definitions, not illegal immigrants. But even if you count all of them as 'unwanted' immigrants - how many % of total immigration to the US is result of those birthright laws?
probably to highlight how this isn't genuine account?
core (as in kernel) is running linux kernel which is C, yes.

But java is not 'just UI' - majority of user space apps run java (or jvm, to be precise), as well as tons of system services, to the point where you can't actually do a lot of android API calls from native code, because a lot of logic is written in java(or kotlin) code, and not just java being wrapper around native code.

Not to mention him saying no one writes java anymore when it literally powers world's most popular OS (android) and double digit percentage of internet backends

What if the enemy won't allow for your surrender and just want to kill you regardless?

So just borders?

In the end, it’s the people who fight that determine if the thing they are fighting for is worth their lives. Dying for some lines on the map sounds bad, but if it were only lines on the map, then the people probably wouldn't choose to die for them, would they?

Nobody wants to die, but if someone is ready to give up their life for some cause, then who are you to tell them they can't?

It's the fate of Ukrainians that is at stake and its the Ukrainians that determine if changing that fate is worth the costs of their lives.

Depends on specific boundaries, but literally all of human history is about fighting for people's rights to hold one boundary or another

Really? Even if that would result with your new living conditions to be literally North Korea style or the worst of islamic terrorist state?

So when your country will be attacked you will give up your lands and your freedoms just for sake of "less people dying"?

Post specific or shut up, because this is just spewing bullshit with some true bits sprinkled on top for the sake of deniability.

>But in the end he didn't end Democracy, he let the democratic procedures take place, a fascist wouldn't do that.

Fascist wouldn't fail?

Again, You know Hitler literally tried a coup, failed and then switched to 'democratic' means?

"X is a fascist" is not just a simple insult. Pretending that's all it is is ignorance at best
Re:Former President Trump is projected to win the presidency on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @05:58AM (#42059917)
You know that Hitler was literally voted into power, right?

I am NOT saying Trump is literally Hitler, but the idea that democratic vote can't have un-democratic outcome in the long run is simply false. It can, and history showed us that more then once

Re:Former President Trump is projected to win the presidency on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @05:55AM (#42059872)
Ok, well... that's not really an argument, is it?

It actually is, though.

Sure, it didn’t work—probably because enough people weren’t convinced that it was true enough (and also because they didn’t care)—but it's not unreasonable to think that such an argument should have been enough.

Please don't.

I personally found the idea inspiring and the article itself is explaining it succinctly. Even if it's not completely revolutionary, it's small, self containing concept that's actionable.

Lowley surprised why there are so many harsh voices in this thread, but the article definitely has merrit, even if it won't be usefull/possible to implement for everyone

"There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

The idea that there is no good reason or value in those big bureacratic machines is equally naive as idea that it just has to be that way. Everything is case-by-case and 'big corpo ALWAYS bad' mentality is just stupid

Re:Are We Anti-Cheat Yet? on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @06:02AM (#41377831)
At the end of the day, as long as there is player input, cheaters always can simulate it/enchance it.

But the deeper your anticheat detection, the higher friction there is for cheater.

Having to get extra hardware/modify existing one is a huge leap in friction, and probably filters out an overwhelming majority of wannabe cheaters

Re:Are We Anti-Cheat Yet? on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @02:56AM (#41376717)
You can render all the scenarios in the world, but ultimately You have to tell the client which on is correct.

And this will always be simply too slow for fast paced games.

Unless ofcourse you send the confirmation to frames before its actually displayed, but that brings us to square one

Re:Are We Anti-Cheat Yet? on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @02:51AM (#41376690)
Disagree.

But it's not really feasible to argue since you need to be on such high level in the first place to honestly engage in 'is this player chesting' conversation. And it's on case-by-case basis

Re:Are We Anti-Cheat Yet? on Wednesday August 28, 2024 @02:48AM (#41376669)
You absolutely can do that and (almost) all games do that already.

This type of cheats are DECADES in the past.

Today is all about a) enhancing normal behavior with artificial precision, not making any 'illegal' (from game perspective) actions. b) giving player information he isn't supposed to have but that is passed to client for latency sake

'Promotions' table is incorrect, right?

It's inverted...

Because languages are more then just syntax, so ofcourse You'd rather have your favorite language copy some syntax you like, then be forced to switch entire stack to another language just to be able to use that syntax
