ttflee··on China has forbidden under-18s from playing games for more than three hours/week

Try to imagine children playing solitaire.

ttflee··on China has forbidden under-18s from playing games for more than three hours/week

Offline games downloaded are regarded as online games, in this restriction.

In this restriction, online games are broadly defined to include offline-games-downloaded-from-Internet.

ttflee··on Hash collision in Apple NeuralHash model

> It's actually not

It's Joe Wong's joke, that it's like peeing in the snow in a dark winter night, while there is a difference but it's really hard to tell.

ttflee··on Getting Started with QEMU (2018)

If you use macOS as host, make sure that '-enable-kvm' is replaced with '-accel hvf'. Another useful argument is '-cpu host'.

ttflee··on Apple plans to scan US iPhones for child abuse imagery

This type of system is just ready-to-use for a totalitarian regime with minor configuration modifications.

ttflee··on Molecular biology clues portray SARS-CoV-2 as a lab manipulation of RaTG13

It referred to the viral cDNA as the sequencing was performed on, hence the 'T'.

ttflee··on Molecular biology clues portray SARS-CoV-2 as a lab manipulation of RaTG13

To me, in this letter to editor, the same story was talked again as in the flagged PDF, in a more succinct writing style. I do not see why one is published and not flagged while the other one remains flagged.

ttflee··on Molecular biology clues portray SARS-CoV-2 as a lab manipulation of RaTG13

IMHO, this [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24476300] should be de-flagged.

ttflee··on China lands rover on Mars

Its name is Zhurong (祝融), not Rongzhu.

ttflee··on Live feed of Starship SN15 flight test [video]

This means the actual IP range should be something in 70.252.0.0/14, which is assigned to AT&T according to whois.arin.net.

Chopping off 234 from head of this IP address, the parts left are the network address and group id.

ttflee··on Elon Musk wants clean power. But Tesla's carrying Bitcoin's dirty baggage

Or even better, powered by solar, which closes the loop.

ttflee··on Porting Firefox to Apple Silicon

The issue itself sounds like a prologue for an A.I. dystopian story.

ttflee··on Asahi Linux: Linux on Apple Silicon project

Software is an essential supportive pillar which stands between its hardware and lucrative value-added services.

ttflee··on Android is a truly terrible software development platform

fopen() worked. It's just no files are bundled as-is in an APK. Files must be embedded into a resource-like asset file which could not be opened by fopen(). If a library your app linked to had to call fopen() and other POSIX file APIs for these files, you were f*cked up and ended up unzipping files.

ttflee··on A pure WebAssembly / JavaScript port of FFmpeg

How power efficient would this be? Will it become a setback towards the goal of carbon neutrality if widely used?

ttflee··on Hedgehog Lab - Scientific Computation Tool in the Browser

ttflee··on Raspberry Pi as a local server for self hosting applications

For ffmpeg h.264 encoding on macOS it is not very wise to use x264 instead of h264_videotoolbox.

ttflee··on Unusual Features of SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Lab Modification

People don't learn molecular cloning, phylogenetics, or how to perform a PCR before they upvote/downvote. People just hate its rhetoric.

ttflee··on Unusual Features of SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Lab Modification

Putting the Bannon label aside, this paper seems to be well written and proofread. The claims fell into the range of educated guess and reasonable doubts.

EDIT:

You may like or dislike Bannon and/or Trump, but I judged this paper using my only knowledge in biochemistry/molecular cloning from when I was trained during undergraduate.

ttflee··on Unusual Features of SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Lab Modification

> In fact, a Chinese BSL-3 lab (the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre), which published a Nature article reporting a conflicting close phylogenetic relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and ZC45/ZXC21 rather than with RaTG13, was quickly shut down for “rectification”.

ttflee··on Nvidia to Acquire Arm for $40B

China de-facto blocked Qualcomm-NXP merger during a trade talk by not providing a decision before the deadline to the deal.

ttflee··on MuseScore 4: Moving from notation software to composition software

> We have moved to the new code style.

Finally.

ttflee··on How to trim video clips instantly without reencoding

When you use ffmpeg with macOS, you can save a lot of reencoding time (a magnitude of time for H.264) by using videotoolbox, the Apple supplied harware acceleration backend.

ttflee··on “Let’s use Kubernetes.” Now you have eight problems

ttflee··on CDC: Possible ‘community spread’ coronavirus case in Bay Area

The most significant experience is that efforts should be made before medical services were overwhelmed by flood of patients. Mortality would be higher if patients were not properly looked after.

ttflee··on No one is allowed to leave Wuhan (10M residents) until the outbreak dies out

https://3g.163.com/news/article/F3HRMGN80001899O.html

It says, no civilians shall leave Wuhan except for a special reason.

And all buses, metro, airports, stations and remote transportations are closed for now.

ttflee··on The Joy of Perl (1998)

I was basically introduced to functional programming through Higher Order Perl.

My primary school teacher used this quite often.
