This is usually the point where the Amiga fans come out of the woods to point out that the Amiga was actually the best hardware for gaming at that time.

Gamecube was the slowpoke of that generation? That sounds wrong. Official specs suggest Dreamcast < PS2 < GC < XBox. But it seems to be generally accepted that XBox specs were a bit overblown and in practice GC and XBox were almost

I certainly wouldn't want to test this myself. Also I agree about the face / nose / mouth / eyes. But the question raised here was about the attacker (not the attacked) being fine after handling the poison. By the way, o

That terminology really seems more confusing and misleading than helpful then. Also this usage of "portion" kind of conflicts with the usage in advice about "smaller portion size". https://www.cdc.gov/hea

I agree that ReST is needlessly complicated. But Markdown isn't really that much better. Maybe it's because I'm more used to Wikipedia-style link syntax. As for bullets: Since some Markdown implementations annoyingly insist o

Same here! :) I first assumed this article was about that glitch, but apparently that one is known as "the Select Glitch" (because you press the select button to pause / open the map).

My point is researching all this puts a huge burden on (serious) users that would not be there for a big standard library. Currently the Rust approach seems quite problematic, but I think this can be solved. For example by an explicit guara

Thanks, but I still don't see where such guarantees are advertised. Also it's not really clear what "the nursery" is exactly. Where is it? Why is it called that? It sounds more like "not mature = ready for prime tim

Western Europe uses more characters than ASCII like umlauts (äöü), accents (àèé), €¢, German ß and a few more, but large parts are still comfortably stuck in a codepage-style mindset thinking "ISO Latin-1 is good enough". (Also kn

In Python I've seen the convention "user facing string" vs. 'internal string'. It doesn't behave differently of course and there's no type checking, but it can be useful for showing intent.

Ah yes, using a typedef would work too, nice. It for sure not quite the same as C++ templates, but if you can tolerate crazy things you can do a lot with the preprocessor. See http://www.boost.org/libs/preprocessor&#x2F
