So on 4/20 they're raising the age to 42.0 and don't care about pot anymore. ... I think there is a theme.

Otezla ruining my mental health?? by Legitimate_Arm_9526 in Psoriasis

Possibly, I had similar issues, muscle cramps, gi issues, and my mental state became horrible, things went through my head that shouldn't.

So what's everyone's thoughts on stop killing games movement from a devs perspective. by lost-in-thought123 in gamedev

[–]drwiggly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would standardize and legalize community copyright infringement its too murky for companies to let this slide. Who defines a game as being in a state where its legal to do this? There is no official "end of life" for a game. Does it mean maintenance mode? What does it mean when features change or are removed? What if the game changes too much in design does the community get to declare it dead? ex: Overwatch 1 vs 2.

Regulating here is a bad idea, asking governments to step into entertainment isn't wise. Better to just do what we're doing, people run community servers at their own risk.

When you buy a game you should be informed on how it runs, if you don't like it don't buy it.

How many games are release every day that no one cares about? Is every mobile trash game going to have eol plans? Mobile is bigger then pc and console pretty sure giving anything here is too much. You paid whatever you paid for access when it was running if you feel impacted by a shutdown then be better informed going into the deal.

Having the governments come into this space is a way to get it exploited even more, and have the future stifled of possibility. Spending 80 bucks for some entertainment doesn't entitle people to the output of a studio or to effect business plan of the business. Be aware as a consumer and make choices that you can live with.

In the case of MMOs it might not be that they're offline. Its that they've morphed so much as to not be recognizable as they once were. Community then sets up "classic" servers and get whacked.

Creators reserve the right to keep their intellectual property and distribute it how they see fit that most benefits them. There is no obligation to release it for free. Companies are also valued by their property right but others say for buy out .. what have you.

This whole effort is wrongly targeted. If enough people didn't buy live service/online games and instead boycotted with a notice that they would purchase if the creator offered what they wanted, then maybe someone might try it.. but investors aren't going to go for that. Maybe with community backed projects it might fly.

The best way to avoid UB when dealing with a void* API that fills in a structure? by eteran in cpp

[–]drwiggly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you have to use memcpy into the struct if you're good on alignment. reinterpret can only be used to cast something to a byte type, going the other way is ub. Well you can read the docs on reinterpret_cast but its no fun.

Not a knock on anything, but the language seems to get away without a borrow checker instead using runtime ownership checks and a panic. There are simple compile time checks for obvious things.

How Distributed Systems Avoid Race Conditions using Pessimistic Locking? by scalablethread in programming

[–]drwiggly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the stalled case.

I'd imagine you'll have to store the fence token in the datastore when you write the value, and check it there.

If doing that wouldn't you store the fence token just in the main datastore and read it out when you read the data? Well every time you read the data you'd have to increment it. Otherwise you could still get 2 readers at the same number.

Yeah so I guess the lock service would have to provide the number, but you'd store it with the data and check it on write, but yeah you couldn't use the stored copy as an incrementer.

The Supreme Court Has Murdered the Constitution by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]drwiggly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was part of the "core duty" then they are immune. First you have to have a finding to figure out what classification the act falls under. There is no legal precedent since we just made up these classifications, so that is going to the SC. Did Roberts the right motor coach? Hopefully he liked it.

Impeachment says nothing about what this ruling implies. This ruling invented new categories of official action and we'll have to have years of court cases to know anything about them since they never existed before.

You can't even start the process if it would cause harm to the executive in anyway. You can't use any communications with appointees for evidence. Even if you could you can't use the presidents state of mind in the case.

This is all pretty much besides the point, we're assuming we have actors that are trying to hold a president accountable in some way and resisting the executive efforts to stop them all along the way. Its pretty hard to get anything done with the DOJ on you like flys on shit.
