  • Nintendo should place that Mario image showing the finger on every website it issues a DMCA takedown. Would be hilarious to see it with text below saying this has been taken down by Nintendo.

    Your hard work has been given a DMCA takedown by Nintendo.
    Have a lovely day.

    Bethesda released a statement regarding the Mick Gordon controversy today after he exposed everything that happened. They've decided to flat out deny all of it. Bold strategy, we'll see how it plays out for them.

    After the bayonetta controversy I think it's good to be skeptical when you only hear one side of a dispute, but this response kind of seems in line with Mick's characterization of them. Those "stand ready to disclose evidence" and "we will take swift action" statements sound like they're just threatening to sue everyone.

    But you never know. Maybe Mick is being dishonest here? Drop that evidence Bethesda.

    We'll see, I'm more leaning towards Bethesda just spewing corporate nonsense. Mick's case and evidence is solid, if Bethesda now made these claims, they should provide better evidence.

    id Software started the shit-flinging, and so far Mick has provided more evidence to support his side while Bethesda is just spouting noncommittal legalese.

    I know most intellectuals are pro nuclear power and all that. But I know that failure is inevitable. People say that the science has come far and they are now far safer to generate electricity, but I know humans enough to know that no scientist or genius is perfect. There is bound to be something missing or wrong at some point as proven in history forever. It's just too destructive to have trust in it.

    Reminds me of a video I recently watched of a Tesla Car's screen showing the AI used. It was driving behind a truck carrying a bunch of traffic lights at the back, a scenario no programmer could've seen coming, and the AI was going bonkers. In conclusion, you can't trust humans, and you definitely shouldn't trust them with something as dangerous as nuclear.

    "one mistake"? Are safety factors and failsafes not a thing? Do also look up how Thorium reactors work.
    As an app developer, I can now understand how bugs in general are very possible and likely. The main cause? You just don't give a shit. You have already coded in so much, the application is so large, you just focus on what you need to do now. When it comes to checking the result, you never really are thorough cause you can't be assed to look into every single thing. Now I know how important testers are.

    Or to make it even better, have all sort of checks and fallbacks for invalid data, until you realise it should never happen in the first place

    Build your data properly, and the bug wouldn't happen, and so you don't need to waste CPU cycles to test every possible condition if you know for sure the data you constructed IS exactly what should be expected, and not junk that could technically be encountered, but it definitely shouldn't even be possible unless you really went all the way to make it happen at all, haha!

    I can provide the best example of this observation: see my recent status updates, where I have been working on writing a music driver.
    More I get improvements done, and more I realise I have a lot of redundancy that shouldn't even be there, simply because I know I should never have invalid data in the first place.

    The only way I can install Sony and Nintendo apps on my Android phone is through APK websites, they're not in my country Play Store. And I'm thankful for that option, it's pretty cool.
    Man for Google having some of the largest functioning servers in the world, they sure are slow in Zipping small files off of Drive.

    You know how (some) online storage providers charge per IOps as well as space and bandwidth? Google's dirty little secret is that they keep your stuff on a 1 IOps drive. Costs them less, but any disk-intensive operation takes ages.

    You know how you revisit that game you put down months ago to continue playing where you left off, but you don't know what the hell to do cause you have no idea about anything anymore? Yeah that's very relatable even in programming. You come back to your program, and you spend most of your time trying to figure out what the hell did you do to get all that working so you can modify it. And it's way more painful.

    As for programming.... THIS IS WHY YOU COMMENT AND DOCUMENT YOUR SHIT, PEOPLE :teach:
    Everyone's all like "I'll remember what I was doing, the logic is obvious" and then a week later it's like "what the HELL was I doing here?"

    Wow, impressive.
    Tmw you're searching for a technical solution but then the article or video says: "Method 1"... Shit. You know none of that is gonna work.

    Why? Can't it work because there are multiple methods suggested?

    In my experience, whenever a technical issue has multiple solutions involved, it is too broad and unspecific. When I come across such articles I always try to search more and find single solutions, they're usually the right one.

    Articles with multiple solutions usually give the most generic 'solutions' for an issue that's unrelated. Like try clearing cache, try turning it off and on, etc.

    Understand it now.
    Some of these articles seem to be auto-generated BS. I've seen a lot of them when searching for "How to install Magisk?"
    Pseudo blog entries with multiple methods exists for virtually any device -- simulating somebody actually wrote some pages just for the one thing in your hands.

    I can't believe it but I love my new Macbook Air. It's just so handy and I didn't realize I would enjoy using MacOS. It's a million times more smoother than Windows (though I still prefer Windows due to functionality and technicality). My only huge gripe is the non-upgradeable storage. I've already used it up, I need more important programs on this...

    We have high speed SSDs but all new technology is still no match for a large quantity of small files no matter the speed. Hopefully that's something that gets substantially better in the future.
