  • I don't know. I don't know how all billionaires in the world have acquired their capital. I do know that the most relevant ones, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have exploited workers, but I don't know if this can be generalized. Do you?

  • Ah ok, 20 years seems fair. I wonder if Nintendo is concerned people would rather play old emulated games for free instead of buying new (expensive) games.

    Or are they planning to monetize these old games at some point? Imagine if they provided a monthly subscription to a library of emulated games for Switch. Playstation does this in the Premium subscription layer.

    Anyways, if they are going after people emulating 20yo games, that's pretty unreasonable. That's some penny-grabbing shit right there. How much people actually emulate games anyways? How much people want to play 20yo games anyways? I can't imagine that being any kind of threat to their income.

  • That would be pretty nice. But companies usually protect their IP, so they won't go around showing how they code their games.

    If they open source it isn't it easier for other companies to release clones? Not identical but inspired on their code. At a lower cost because the engineering challenges of coding the game are already taught in there.

  • I'm not sure if being a billionaire necessarily means all of those things. I know some that are actually doing good stuff for the people, like Mark Cuban. Is he perfect? Probably not, but he's doing something about a real issue that was screwing a lot of people in the US.

  • Actual question. Isn't installing stuff from third party repos like super dangerous? The package scripts run with root access, right?

    So, I guess you could tell if the hash of the package matches the hash of the code after you build it... But, what about upgrades on that package after it is installed? They could change the setup scripts and screw a lot of people right?

    Not saying these guys do it, just wondering about security stuff.

  • I'm with you on this one. I love dark humor but this one just seems like hateful humor. If it is inspired by hate, I'm no longer on that boat.

    Feels like "the only good commie is a dead commie. HAHAHA" but opposite.

  • I guess this is beating a dead horse but you can have pointers to pointers for 2D arrays.

    The first pointer tells you which coulm you're on. The second pointer tells you which is the first object of each column. That way you can iterate the columns without loosing a reference to the current column you're standing on.

  • Guys, I have never played or seen anyone play D&D in my life, but I still enjoy the memes for some reason. I've seen people name powers, roll a dice and then scream in agony or joy... But I never know what the hell is going on. I know a higher number is better but I don't know what is done with the number. Can someone explain?

    Like, I say "ice shield" and I roll a 15. Then what?

  • Cool, cool, but don't forget to also talk about its secondary effects. These pills shouldn't be popped for every encounter. It should be used for events like a condom breaking.

    Edit: sorry, I assumed that this was a post-day pill. This is just a normal contraceptive, how the fuck are these not legally sold over the counter already? Sorry, not American.

  • Here I go again, pooping the party!

    There's literally a whole metallic pan between the heat source and the rice. Unless lizard flavor can go through metal, this makes no sense.

    Call me anytime you need some poop on a party. Bye.

  • In C# it is different.

    In C if I give you a pointer to a memory address, you can totally overwrite what is in that memory address, even write a new struct in there. So you're getting a "real" writable memory address. You could even write a different type of structs and break the program. You could tweak specific bytes.

    In languages like Java or C# you aren't given a reference to the memory address but a reference to the object. You can only write to the object using it's own interface (methods) but you can't say "I'm going to totally overwrite this memory address with a new object".

    If you receive an object in a parameter, let's say a "Person person" object and you do something like "person = new Person();" you didn't really overwrite the memory address. The original person reference that was passed in the parameter is still intact. You can only modify it with something like "person.setName(...)".

    So, with real pointers you can do more stuff, but higher level languages don't want you to do that because it breaks some of their principles for what "good programming" is. In this case they are protecting encapsulation. You shouldn't be able to mess around with the memory contents of objects directly, only through their interfaces. Encapsulation is safer because objects should expose how to operate them safely via their interfaces.
