after all, people are taking pictures to actually capture the moment
Depending on what you mean by "the moment", I don't think that's really true. Modern cell phone photography doesn't really give you what the sensors have picked up. You take a picture of your friend with his eyes closed and the phone will change the picture to have his eyes open. You take a blurry picture of the moon and your phone will enhance it to make a better picture of the moon. I mean some people hate it but a lot people do actually like it.
And they like it because they don't really take pictures for the purpose of posterity. They don't take a picture of their friend because they need to look back 20 years from now and remember exactly how that one plastic bag 30m in the distance was crumpled. They take the picture because they want to post to Instagram, get some likes from their friends, and maybe look back 20 years from now to remember the general vibe, and if their phone can "enhance" that for them.
If people could record a voice memo and have their phone actually make a really decent Instagram post out of it for them, I 1000% believe people would do it instead of taking an actual picture. Posting pictures is more about socializing than it is about posterity.
More like robbers rob a bank and take hostages. They threaten to kill a hostage, but still don't get any money. So they threaten to report the bank for not being up to code with an expired fire extinguisher if they don't get some money.
They know the bank doesn't give a shit about hostages being killed. But a few pennies for a minor fine is a threat the bankers really understand.
No he does actually mention in the middle of that that while code must be free, art is different because art is not software. I guess he's imagining a situation where a game would have multiple licences (one licence for the code, a different one for the art assets).
Honestly, a colour picker is the last piece of software you should be translating names for. Even everyday colour names don't have a direct translation. The line between "blue" and "green" is very slightly different than the line between "bleu" and "vert", and the same goes for any other two languages. If you're serious about your colour picker accuracy and you want to localize to another language, it would actually be more correct to have a completely different set of colour values, rather than trying to translate them. (Though "Liquid Nyquil" may be perceived the same across languages. I haven't seen any studies on that one)
Wait, I don't see that in the article. Who's he suing now?
Is it entitlement to expect to get what was advertised from a service you pay for? If they advertise $x/month for 4k and you pay them $x/month and get 720p, that seems like a very legitimate complaint to me.
Her tweet wasn't just the Bible verse. She ended it with "You can't serve two masters. You can't serve both God and money", which is where Ben's response came from.
That and the past 2 weeks of them hand-slapping about Candace believing Israel is committing genocide and Ben (shockingly) believing Israel can do no wrong.
I love the arrogant confidently incorrect at the end of the blog.
- The comments in the code are wrong
- The official documentation is wrong
- The manpage is wrong
- Every blog article ever written is wrong
- Linus Torvalds is wrong
- Everyone who knows what they're talking about is wrong
- No, I don't know how to read kernel code. Why do you ask? You're wrong
- Shut up. You're wrong
Hm, he and his wife are getting on in years. If they want a son, they should probably get on that right away.
The last chip was manufactured 3.5 years ago and the last serious user was probably several years before that. Obviously no one's running Itanium with modern hardware.
But just because the hardware isn't modern, doesn't mean the software can't be modern. Tonnes of people run the most recent Linux kernels on 15 year-old laptops, so why not 10 year-old servers? Itanium is only for the hobbyists these days, but so what? Hobbyists have done a good job of ensuring modern Linux can run on 40 year-old 68k. Itanium can theoretically be done, too. It's just a question of whether the hobbyist community has enough of the right people that can actually maintain it.
