On top of that we shouldn’t distribute compiled binaries for the x86 and ia64 chipsets; instead program code should be distributed like .wasm, in a hardware-independent way, and compiled on the target device. That would enable that hardware can use any chipset it wants and there are no software incompatibilities because of it.
You're describing Gentoo Linux . . . which is not especially popular among Linux distributions even though it runs on just about anything. There may be a reason for that.
The thought of how the computer would react to me telling my cat to get down off the desk is . . . both amusing and disturbing.
I HAVE broken discs in similar sets (Mr. Robot, Planet of the Apes) taking them out of those awful cases
So someone actually came up with something worse than the Scanavo DVD cases (on the grounds that I never actually broke a disc taking it out of a Scanavo case, just thought I was going to)? That's . . . brutal.
Phone numbers are the equivalent of IP addresses. It's just that the accompanying DNS solutions are pretty badly broken and the firewall options are all iffy.
what’s the point of taking art classes?
The point is the same as taking classes for any other skill, from baseball to carpentry: you have to learn technique before you can engrain the skill through practice. Some people can pick it up on their own if they're motivated enough, by studying other people's art, watching artists working, reading books, etc., but it's more difficult and time-consuming without an instructor's feedback. Sometimes they even figure it out wrong, and develop a very difficult and time-consuming method of doing something when a much simpler one exists.
So it's optimal to both have the classes and do extensive practice outside of them. One is not a substitute for the other.
I'm pretty sure that you can find one researcher, somewhere, who will agree with anything you say, including that the weather is being affected by a war between Martians and the people living inside the hollow earth. Especially if you're offering a large bribe to said researcher to make a statement about something outside their field while they're somewhat drunk, and then mutilating their remark out of context via the process fondly known as journalism.
In other words, "one researcher" predicting something is pretty much worthless.
I think they've funded a couple of series, although not nearly as many as Netflix has.
Nice to see I'm not the only person whose brain immediately tried to come up with titles and genres where that subtitle could be legit.
People out to make a quick buck are banking on suckers not knowing about Project Gutenberg, or failing to check it, or not wanting to do a couple of extra steps to get something onto their Kindle.
I would not want to be involved in working the bugs out of that. Even after they get it to the point where it almost never produces two-headed mice in testing.
So the difference between the current ownership, who may be handing data over to the Chinese government and are using an algorithm that promotes undesirable content for "engagement" and propaganda purposes, and the new ownership, who I'm sure will happily sell data to anyone who pays up including thinly disguised fronts for the Chinese government, and will also use an algorithm that promotes undesirable content for "engagement" and propaganda purposes is . . . what, really, at the end of the day?
The question for me isn't whether or not there's a difference that I might be able to see if I were paying attention to the picture quality, it's whether the video quality is sufficiently bad to distract me from the content. And only hypercompressed macroblocked-to-hell-and-back ancient MPEG1 files or multiply-recopied VHS tapes from the Dark Ages are ever that bad for me. In general, I'm perfectly happy with 480p. Of course, I might just have a higher-than-average immunity to bad video. (Similarly, I can spot tearing if I'm looking for it, but I do have to be looking for it.)
