I was thinking the same thing, especially as we are talking about division, and the result is "correct" for 16/7 to a great number of digits.

See also the "x = x + x three times", for which the result is not random but the result for the same thing... Two times instead of three (so result/2). That heavily smells like it has read sites that had nearly the same code on them.

Oh, you're right.

Never thought of using "by definition, all numbers can be divided by a prime" tu merge the two cases. It's not that shorter, but is IMHO quite elegant, I'll remember it. Thanks for correcting me.

The issue is that it is not divisible by any other prime *from the list*. The two cases (prime or composite) must be handled separately since they do not use the same logic to infer there is one more prime.

For instance, 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 + 1 = 30031 = 59 * 509.

Well, even with those small numbers, it's wrong. The first "2" after the dot should not be there. The result it gives is 16/7, not 20/7.

The amount of "unused" glyphs is not the 128 - "used glyphs" since you put several together. You would need to count the number of distinct 7-segment combinations that bear a glyph for this to hold.

The problem is that you still count them in you 50 characters. If you were to remove the ones that couldn't be represented and count the collisions as a single character, you would get far less than that.

At least in Japan's case, I highly doubt the pace is «paced stylistically, so that each shot lasts long enough "by design" to read the subtitles».

If anything, they are usually at the other end of the spectrum, in that most local releases don't even include japanese subtitles (To be frank, I'm quite surprised this is even legal, considering the impact on deaf people)

So more than for artistic reasons, I think it's more often in order to lower the number of quality key frames required, so budget reasons.

I also can think of several shows that achieved significant fanbase in contexts where keeping an eye off the subtitles can be hard, while still being appreciated for their visuals: Tatami Galaxy, Monogatari Series...

I don't think I would like such a system that maps everything directly to memory. At least, with the current separation, if some program's or even the kernel's memory gets corrupted, I can just restart my computer and it will usually fix it, whereas using an NVRAM in such a way could make it easier to break things in a durable fashion.

I'm not saying the model is bad or there are no AAA games, only that this currently limits the games that could be played.

I have bought games from GOG, just not multiplayer ones (or ones that don't have DRMs anyway such as Factorio)

I also don't play much AAA games. But I'll have a hard time convincing anyone when the game they want isn't there. Not that it is GOG's fault but stil...

Isn't it more that parents often take vacations when their children have their, thus less congestion ?

At least in Paris itself, only a third of homes have cars, and in this third, not everyone is going to bring its children to school using it.

Lived in paris for ~23 years, and took public transports to go to school everyday starting from secondary school (~11 years old). Same was going for my siblings, and a huge part of my classmates, including those that needed to take the RER.

The metro can be unsafe at night, but usually not at times where children commute.

I agree that SDiscord too is far from perfect in this circumstances (Though usually, the Discord client explicitly shows me when it acjieved to send the message as is it shown in light gray before this point)

But using Mosh means having a server, seting it up and so on. Yeah, Mosh+IRC is better from a FOSS perspective. But it comes with usability drawbacks too.

Using IRC is not oppressive, I agree, and it wouldn't come to my mind to complain on an IRC channel about it not being Discord, but the point of the article is to show you must not use Discord and you are bad for doing it.

I haven't said that I wouldn't prefer a free alternative, only that trying to say IRC is the solution to all this is short-sighted too.

Once again, the average user does not have all that. Discord has the advantage, for me as a user, of not having to pay hundreds of dollars simply not to loose messages because my connection go down ~5 minutes a day.

I think you forgot "and never ever have internet or electricity issues" to your list. The big advantage of Slack/Discord is that once a message was sent, everyone will receive it. Maybe in some time if the user is not always up but it will be received. Not to forget, not everyone interested in this or that FOSS project is tech-savvy enough to setup what you said.

The question may be silly, but how does GOG handle multiplayer ?

- Are players that bought the game on GOG able to play with those that bought it on steam/Uplay/other when lobbies are involved

- Are there DRMs for online play that have lobbies ? If so, how are they handled ?

Also, their list is sadly quite limited it seems, for the games many play. No GTA V, no God of War, no Red Dead Redemption, no Call of Duty, no battlefield V, which seem to be some of most selling games of past years.

I know it's not their fault but because of it, it won't fit a huge chunk of the users' needs.

Even with such extreme things, the course of action should be:

- Disable online features on the account

- Fill a complain to authorities if illegal in the user's country (in France, sending death threats online is totally illegal)

But not "Delete the account with its paid content". IMHO, the community part and game library part should not be strong-linked in such a way. If only for false positives.

Not everyone works in machine learning which seems to be the only subject the site handles, and those that do not work in it may still be interested in hearing about the existence of such a website.

It's a more vulgar version of "https://fr.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/s%E2%80%99en_brosser_le_nom...". However, I found it quite surprising to add such a rare thing but not the most usual things like "I've got nothing to wax" and its vulgar form.

Maybe this is because the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." would imply that the computer would stop working ? (This was only intended as a pun, as the reason is most likely the author prefers the other set of characters, but having the kernel panic handling module be named Touma would add to the spirit)

For those that would (most understandably) not get the reference in those names, there is a novel saga called "To Aru Majutsu no Index"/"a certain magical index", which the name references (to aru == "a certain"), and Misaka/Kuroko are characters from it.

By the way, is Yutani a reference to something ?

Too late to edit so I'll just write a message here: The hypothesis written above would not explain the author's complains as he mentions he was able to fix it with a compilation flag, whereas I doubt the compiler would change non-trivially-copyable being handled as reference to a copy since it would break correctness.

In case it is talking about the x64 calling convention, there is actually some kind of an odd case where you would get something that looks like an argument was pushed on the stack:

When a non-trivially-copyable object is passed by value to a function, you need to ensure that through the lifetime of the copy, it's address will never change because the constructor may have stored address of some of the field (for instance, a pointer to a field). The way this is handled at list in the SystemV x84_64 ABI is that the object is created on the caller's stack, and a pointer to it is stored in a register, so just like if it was passed as a pointer.

I have seen several cases where a header would have an "ifdef c++" clause with copy constructors and destructors in them ("It does not add field so it should be OK, right ?"), which make the object non trivially-copyable, leading to clashing calling convention between C and C++ codes. I am curious about if this may be the issue he encountered.

Wow, if it gets to this level, I can understand. If you don't mind, what country do you live in ? I am kinda curious of if it is related to location.

Honest question, do you actually get as many ads on YouTube as on TV ? With the former, I am used to 2 10-seconds to 1-minutes ads every 10-15 minutes and that are usually skippable (~16% in the worst case). On TV, at least in France, there are at least as many ads, but they can't be skipped.

Or maybe they do understand the licence and simply decided they did not agree with its ethics.

Unless it changed recently, I think it doesn't have full support for BRAM, and no support for BSP and hard blocks, right ? I wouldn't be surprised if some were used in the Mister project. (Doesn't change the fact that Stmbiflow is an impressive feat)

For the JPEG part: That is not surprising, for several reasons: - Depending on if the IDCT (2D cosine-based frequency domain => time domain) is implemented using floating point or fixed-point, the ways roundings are done, 0.5 offsets or not etc, the number of bits of precisions, you will have small errors. - Most JPEGs are in i420 format, that is "for a 16x16 Y block, there is one 8x8 Cb block and one 8x8 Cr block". The upsampling algorithm may differ both in precision and on the choice of the algorithm itself. - Even in YCbCr => RGB conversion, there may be 1-bit differences. More if they used other constants.

Note that even between two versions of the same library, you can get different results.

Oops, answered to the wrong comment, reposting it here: One reason to prefer specific keys is accessibility for those with fine-motor issues is one. I Detailed a bit in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29229583. It is probably not the reason why it was designed this way but it's a nice corollary effect. Another is that those characters are used often. Way more than some other letters such as x, y, z, k and w, and using a compose key so often would be a pain.

Nice idea, but as a french with slight dispraxia/hand coordination issues (If I am typing fast, at least half of the time I write "function" will become "function", and that's without special keys in the mix), it seems like even after learning it, I probably would have a greater error rate than with AZERTY:

One of the big advantage of the current layout is that, except for some rare cases such as "ë", special characters are the primary letter of the key instead of numbers like in QWERTY. Even ê, which need composition with ^, has the advantage to have both symbols on the same hand so there are not much coordination issues.

The only current common daily-life cases where I need complex coordination that I can think of are: - End of sentence+uppercase for the new one: not a big issue as the end of a sentence usually is a natural point to slow a bit as the next one will have another mental context. - Acronyms, names: An issue, but I usually don't right three of them per line. - Special characters uppercase. I agree with the author on those, but on the other hand, many simply do not write them and for a long time, most people were even told it was a mistake to put accents on uppercase even when hand-writing. So this one is only a big issue with those that are quite pedantic about using special characters on uppercase. - Programming: This one is a non-issue as the bottleneck is not my typing speed so I can take my time. - numbers: I choose laptops with numpads

On the other hand, accents are everywhere and can pop up in the middle of a word: "Loïc, tu pourrais aller chercher du pain à la boulangerie où on a mangé hier ?". To write this, I currently have 3 hard sequences, 2 if we count Loïc as a single one. With a keyboards where all accents are special cases, that becomes 5 or 4. If the "?" had been a "." and we count Loïc as one, it would be 3, so in both cases, AZERTY, to me, seem easier to use.

I am not saying this layout is a bad idea and should not be standardized, but at least personally, I would have a hard time with it.
