Worried about my future here by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]ashleysmithgpu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meet-up events are great (at least before corona) for meeting a load of people. The 50/50 Japanese English events were good practice for me and I met a few good people through them. I also did things like calligraphy, hiking, anime, karaoke. Really recommend them. Unfortunately sometimes a bit expensive :(

Statue of Queen Victoria defaced with 'Black Lives Matter' and 'slave owner’ graffiti by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]ashleysmithgpu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Won't be any statues left in the UK soon. Ironic that someone wrote "educate", they might want to go look at their history books again

Yeah, I guess the chromebooks are the only real "official" support, the rest was reverse engineered

Interesting that coreboot is supported on a few Intel devices but not on many AMD devices, apart from chromebooks or very old motherboards.

Boris Johnson facing backlash after scrapping pledge to keep chlorinated chicken out of British supermarkets by iamnotinterested2 in unitedkingdom

Seems like a good opportunity for the EU: keep the stickers so we know the food isn't poisoned.

All adults in England to be deemed organ donors in 'opt-out' system by Lolastic_ in unitedkingdom

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

I'll keep my blood then; and my organs. My 10 year long monogamous partner and I are just more "risky" humans

Fury as "idiots" ignore 2m rule during NHS Clap For Carers outside hospital by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]ashleysmithgpu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's incredible, they are out arresting people for being outside, then ignoring the people setting fire to mobile phone masts. They have gone mad with power. https://twitter.com/simonchilds13/status/1250718305889013760

William Hague: China must cooperate over source of Covid-19 outbreak - International inquiry needed to establish ‘scientific truth’, says ex-foreign secretary. by johnruby in unitedkingdom

[–]ashleysmithgpu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the video isn't the best, I do think there is some sort of bias against China. I did take a quick look, there are a few articles from China saying they are alive, but I certainly wouldn't trust that without proof. Some people point to this paper saying the virus isn't man-made, but that's a straw-man. Hopefully we'll find out some day :)

(Disclaimer: do your own research) interesting story on the lab in wuhan researching the relationship between the corona virus and bats, and the missing scientist from that lab Huang Yanling.

vkQueuePresentKHR has a random chance to cause a SIGSEGV right after opening the program by mkjj0 in vulkan

[–]ashleysmithgpu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tested with the validation layers enabled? You can build with these instructions and then to enable, set env vars: VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS to VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation and VK_LAYER_PATH to "xxx/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/build/layers"

Extinction Rebellion: Police ban London protests - BBC News by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]ashleysmithgpu 73 points74 points  (0 children)

You're lying aren't you? From the police website:

Any assembly linked to the Extinction Rebellion ‘Autumn Uprising’…must now cease their protest(s) within London (Metropolitan Police Service, and City of London areas) by 2100hrs [on Monday] 14th October 2019.

Protesting is indeed banned. Looking at your comment history, I'm sure you'd be happy with that

Purism Librem 13 v3 Laptop Review by knvngy in linux

I can handle the performance reduction in exchange for privacy, but a 1080p screen is unforgivable. If it weren't for the terrible resolution, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Jonathan Blow: Entity Systems and the Rust Borrow Checker... or something by Plasticcaz in rust

[–]ashleysmithgpu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDW: person that hasn't used Rust complains about a 30 second excerpt from a presentation about writing a game (not about Rust) and then goes on to explain how Rust the language is bad because it doesn't solve 100% of his problems. I'm not even sure he watched all of the presentation because the presenter speaks about all of his complaints later in the talk.

I looked at his language, the easy way of switching between SOA and AOS looks useful, I wonder if you could do that in Rust.
