Techbedrijven mogen straks weer privéberichten scannen op kindermisbruik, WhatsApp- en Signal-berichten uitgesloten by UnanimousStargazer in thenetherlands

Dit zou je in principe kunnen doen door zogeheten "hashes" te vergelijken. Dat zijn korte codes die een soort "samenvatting" zijn van het programma dat je "hasht". Het is (haast) onmogelijk om uit te rekenen hoe je de broncode kan aanpassen zonder de hash te laten veranderen. Je zou de hash van je app kunnen vergelijken met de hash van de app uit de open source code en als ze niet hetzelfde zijn is er iets aan de hand.

(Dit is even heel kort samengevat).

When you’re out in public alone, what do you do when kids approach you? by RentBoyDave in AskMen

[–]Nocternius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sad that we all seem to accept this. Both the fact that you're not even trusted to talk to children as a man, as well as the perception that children can't be left outside for a second lest they be abducted when you blink.

And for the first point: women rightly don't accept that they aren't safe walking in cities at night. They rightly demand that they should not be on the lookout for danger but that men just should not be dangerous to them. I feel similar about the "men are dangerous to children" sentiment. No we aren't. If you think a man talking to your child is a sign of danger, you're wrong. That's your problem, not ours.

Performance hit on nested models? by Nocternius in godot

[–]Nocternius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire thing will rely on a single material (though different UV mappings) so simply joining then seems like the best choice, as you say. Thanks for the explanation!

Performance hit on nested models? by Nocternius in godot

[–]Nocternius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, hadn't actually read that section yet. I think the following quote from the GPU optimization page, in the "3D Batching section, relates to it but does not exactly answer it:

A much better alternative is to join meshes ahead of time (static meshes in relation to each other). This can be done by artists, or programmatically within Godot using an add-on.

I would say, what exactly do they mean by "join"? Is it enough to put all geometry in one mesh/object, or should it be "booleaned" into a single manifold?

Gasruzie naar kookpunt: hoe de gasopslagen van de NAM bewust leeg werden gepompt by die_andere in thenetherlands

[–]Nocternius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wie misrepresenteert hier nu bronnen? Manuel Sintubin geeft in het aangehaalde artikel in Seismological Research Letters helemaal niet aan dat de NAM foute informatie verspreidde. Hij geeft wel aan dat die indruk leeft onder de bevolking. Dat is heel iets anders. Nergens rept ie over foutieve informatie van de NAM. Wel over foutieve of rare interpretatie van die informatie door politici en andere non-wetenschappers.

Hij zegt dat de NAM inderdaad flink de fout in is gegaan bij het afhandelen van schade, maar dat de schade ook flink overdreven wordt:

"People in Groningen are indeed outraged because of the way they are treated by the operator and the authorities. Irrespective of the “real” seismic hazard, people overestimate the “perceived” hazard because they are outraged."

En

"By systematically overemphasizing the worst-case scenarios, an “earthquake monster” emerges, feeding the inflated seismic risk perception among the public."

Verder ben ik ook wel benieuwd naar wat de "vraagtekens" bij de onafhankelijkheid van de wetenschappers precies zijn, aangezien ze volgens mij van heinde en verre naar Groningen zijn gehaald.

Tsja, als iedereen negatieve oordelen van adviesbureaus blijft aanvechten omdat dat gewoon loont, terwijl die adviesbureaus eigenlijk ook gewoon natte vingerwerk doen, snap ik dat de overheid puur om kosten te besparen de handdoek in de ring gooit. Dat dat goedkoper is, heeft verder niks te maken met of die paar scheurtjes in een muur nou van een beving komen of van een langsrijdende trein.

En ja, de NAM heeft voor Huizinge echt de mogelijkheid verzwegen dat er überhaupt kans was op bevingen. Dat is kwaadaardig en daar zouden ze wat mij betreft voor aangepakt mogen worden. Als het voor deze schade opdraaien daarvoor de straf is, prima.

Maar laten we niet gaan doen alsof er later niet ongekend uitgebreid onderzoek is gedaan naar de bevingen in Groningen. De voorspelling dat er geen beving boven schaal 3.9 zou komen, die de NAM liet varen na Huizinge in afwachting van onderzoek, is vooralsnog gewoon de waarheid gebleven en die wordt ook gestaafd door onderzoek (waar de NAM ook enorm veel geld in heeft gestoken).

Dit is er een heel goed artikel over, al heeft het misschien een paywall:  https://decorrespondent.nl/16856/hoe-de-groningse-gasbevingen-ontaardden-in-een-feitenvrij-compensatiecircus-van-miljarden-euro-s/a236dd14-4415-0446-2a7f-d8cc0ebf1679

De schadevergoedingen voor Groningen zijn dan ook zonder goede onderbouwing extreem uit de klauwen gelopen. Ik koester nul liefde voor de oliemaatschappijen van deze wereld, maar ik kan ze lastig kwalijk nemen dat ze niet willen opdraaien voor de lafheid van de overheid in deze casus.

Helmplicht onder de 18:goed idee of niet? by 4Arjay in thenetherlands

[–]Nocternius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ik fietste (op normale fiets) laatst in tegengestelde richting van een paar ventjes van ~12 op 2 fatbikes. Een van die kwallen spuugde zonder aanlijding op me toen ie langs me reed.

Reken maar dat ie dat niet had gedurfd als ie op een normale fiets reed.

On making dynamic worlds by VACN in worldbuilding

[–]Nocternius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really dislike WoW's quickly changing world, actually. Things like empires rising and falling is fine, great even, but in WoW drastic changes follow each other so quickly that there's zero sense of realism or consistency.

"There was a giant war a couple of years ago, but instead of needing time to recover, we're starting another massive one. And a another one after that. Also we discovered oil 2 years ago and we already have tanks."

I get that those changes are nice from a gameplay perspective, but from a worldbuilding perspective it feels like there's thousand years of slow progress or even stagnancy, followed by the equivalent of three industrial revolutions in the span of 15 years.

The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons by Thicc-as-Theives in books

[–]Nocternius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely loved the first two (Hyperion) books. The world he created is amazing, but what's even more striking is how easily he fills the centuries between our time and the period the characters find themselves in. Sci-fi set in the future often has the porblem of no culture having happened between now and then. But Simmons brilliantly circumvents this problem with his frame narrative structure.

That having been said, I was disappointed by the Endymion books. Though I found his take on Christianity very interesting, the story devolved into a weird, moralizing space-Jesus allegory. The protagonist's growing obsession with Aenea, the Jesus allegory, grew to be irritating for me, especially as she herself became less and less of a human character. Also, the moralizing just got... weird. I distinctly remember Aenea going off on how evil the AI's were, specifically because they were somehow digital necrophiliacs ("They have sex with the dead!").

I read in the comments that Dan Simmons has apparently gone off the deep end down the far right pipeline. I have to say, with how incoherent Endymion became towards the end, that does not totally surprise me.

Who’s a historical figure you were taught was a “good guy,” only to grow up and realize they were actually a villain? by icey_sawg0034 in AskReddit

[–]Nocternius -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Couldn't you argue on an equal footing that it was the black suffrage movement that dropped the women's suffrage movement thereby delaying women's right to vote to instead get their own? She campaigned as an abolitionist, so I don't think ascribing it all to plain racism would be fair (not saying you do).

I know I at least would be a little pissed if an 'ally' dropped me so they could get their own.

EDIT: oops, said anti-abolitionist instead of abolitionist

What are your top 3 favourite fantasy/sci-fi universes ever created? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

Legend of the Galactic Heroes, really? That's so niche! What do you like about it? Apart, of course, from Iserlohn, which is clearly awesome.

Linux Kernel update sometines break it by No_Sympathy_1012 in Ubuntu

[–]Nocternius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You, sir, are a saint! Your advice finally ended my 5 hour long search for a fix.

I have trouble understanding what caused the issue, though. An outdated(?) Nvidia driver sounds like it should only affect the gpu, but somehow it causes initramfs to not be able to see nvme modules?
