I've had issues with Ubuntu/Debian upgrades more than once. Some third party binaries breaking with the update. Or some specific config tweaks that break, because the structure of /etc changed too much.
For some small VM with a specific purpose I prefer a distribution that changes as little as possible for as long as possible. Less work, more uptime.
> I don’t think -$2000 is a conservative enough figure for standard depreciation either (a lot can happen in a year)
We aren't exactly in "standard" times and haven't been for quite a while. Even five year old graphics cards are worth more today than they were just a year ago. Things will obviously depreciate at some point, but you gotta throw your existing notions of how quickly and how much hardware will depreciate out the window. There's just been too much money dumped into AI for a "well I guess this won't ever pan out, let's dump all this hardware to recoup our costs" moment to happen and tank the price of everything suddenly IMO.
And that's not even getting into the other geopolitical stuff going on right now. Strange times.
Hey, if it only cost millions to install and maintain a leyline network with magic circles capable of transmitting matter for pennies then I would count that as teleportation, yeah.
Biggest thing they all still get wrong for reasons of drama is showing humans wrestling with controls and flying like a fighter pilot. Real spaceships do not and will not have humans in the control loop except to specify a destination or target.
You can get the L_k distances between the two counters. E.g. if you sum the absolute value of the difference of the counts, you get the L_1 distance between the counters. If you raise them to the n^th power and then sum them, you get the L_n distance. For n=2, that's the Euclidean distance (squared).
“I don’t know” would be so much more productive and respectful than “here, this may be useful or completely useless, figure it out on your own time. Took me 30 seconds to produce…”
A bit asymmetrical by time, signal to noise, and frankly, bs metrics.
You're making this up to justify subscription model guilt. Nobody (besides those on here) EXPECTS this. In fact, most would rather live with the risks than deal with subscription model, let alone the headaches of updating and it breaking everything (i.e. causing a chain reaction that you have to update EVERYTHING in order to fix a small non-issue).
I, in fact, do NOT want continuous maintenance. Ever. I will literally never turn on auto-updates for the rest of my life.
> I'd argue that the mathematical operations themselves are usually not that complicated. More importantly, the whole book seems to be about ways to derive the (probable) input of a hash function from the output. It is not literally impossible.
I think you're not being pedantic enough here. "Probable" is doing some heavy lifting. And the phrasing is "derive the input," which I think is fair to say. The best you can do with a proper hash is discover one or more possible inputs. The many-to-one nature of a hash precludes determining the exact input.
Either I don't understand the used apple market.. or I agree this is crazy. Someone spends $25k on new hardware, waits a year, and expects to sell it for $23k? Unless the ram issues save him, and cost of new goes up, I don't see how that was going to work.
You're not correcting anything. Nothing in my comment suggested I don't know what qualified immunity is or I don't understand the difference between criminal and civil liability. Quite the contrary if you are capable of reading.
You seem to be arguing with yourself, not with me. If you are satisfied with a cop only facing criminal liability (often from the same prosecutors that rely on police to make other cases) that is your prerogative. Don't file a civil case. But don't misrepresent my position. Criminal prosecution does not preclude civil, nor the other way around. Citizens should not face such hurdles to file civil suits, irrespective of whatever happens re a criminal case. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Surely your comprehend that one can be found liable both criminally and civilly in many cases. Or tried for both but subject to different penalties (including none) depending on how each goes. Why are your LEO buddies so special as to be largely exempt from the rules that govern the rest of us?
The fact your comment history is riddled with these continued misrepresentations on this topic while you claim to educate is simply galling. Have a good day, I don't think I can continue in good faith with someone who seems to predicate engagement on this topic with unfounded assumptions about others education on the issue. Your own comments on this topic indeed are indicative of a severe projection in this respect.
Pedophilia is not about sex with children it’s about inappropriate relationships and desires. This fits perfectly into scope. It’s disturbing behavior. For the record: Im not a right wing dipshit.
I don't think it's "uncharitable"? Seems perfectly reasonable to not like a remake.
He says:
> ... this corporate remake is a worse creative "theft" than ...
Context is that "this" is the 1999 film.
A sibling comment makes a separate point that even the 1992 film is not original content but nowhere in falcor84's comment does he refer to the franchise as a whole being "theft".
Regardless, it's clear from the post that the context is the 1999 film being `creative "theft"` which I inferred meant they changed the story in ways he didn't like but... he can weigh in if he feels like it.
