> Rust (unsafe) As if there is an alternative :) More seriously, it’s “unsafe” from the perspective of the library calling into C, but usually “safe” for any layer above.

I don’t see how something like that would happen consistently across multiple titles.

Okay, but it is nonetheless not a good look for Windows.

by Cyph0n 1y ago
How would the engines be running differently? It’s quite literally the same Windows build of the game running on Wine/Proton. The simpler explanation is that Windows is poorly optimized, and runs a ton of inefficient crap in the backgr

Yep, they were huge too - virtually anyone who watched free anime back then would have known about them. My theory is that once they saw how much traffic they were getting, they realized how big of a market (subbed/dubbed) anime was.

Let me summarize why Apple’s iOS is not even in the same planet as Valve’s Steam: Apple sells a device (iPhone) whose OS it controls (iOS) that is so ubiquitous to the point where most businesses cannot afford to not have a presence on this

> So the issue has never been about the 30%, it’s about the closed platform? No, the issue is that they have both a 30% cut of every software sale and a closed platform. Steam has a 30% cut, but not a closed platform, hence the bad a

I really despise the analogy with Steam. And this is not the first time I hear it. People somehow fail to understand that the core problem with the App Store is that it is operated by the platform owner. To bring the analogy in line with th

Interesting. Just out of curiosity: did you naturalize as a Qatari (didn’t even know it was possible!), or was it a visa-related thing?

Was the problem with my comment the use of profanity? I did not insult the commenter, nor did I make any ad hominem attacks. I don’t see any rules against profanity in general, or the use of profanity to respond to an argument. I also took

Have you not been following the German government’s position and statements on the Gaza conflict?
375.
by Cyph0n 1y ago
Well, that’s my point. This is the only major ongoing conflict where the US and major Western powers are virtually unconditionally backing the “bad guys”. So it makes sense that there would be more attention and pushback on this one versus

by Cyph0n 1y ago
Since you brought up the Columbia protests and general dissent inside the US: how many such conflicts and genocides are directly backed and propped up by the US?

They’re rabidly and actively supporting & covering for a genocide, and have been working tirelessly to suppress all internal dissent to this position (good old Stasi days peeking from under the covers). Further, they’re going to lengths

Are you seriously asking me this question, or is this an attempt at a rhetorical? And why are we shifting the goalposts once again? How do you think apartheid South Africa ended? How does any country pressure another? In a supposedly democr

No, there is nothing “complex” about Gaza - neither before nor after Oct 7. The late Michael Brooks shared a small thought experiment that might help elucidate this: https://youtu.be/7ebPj_FqM5Q

I am completely OK with being conditioned against siding with a 20 month long genocidal onslaught committed by an apartheid ethnostate against a blockaded territory with no sovereignty and no actual defenses of its own. I completely agree t

Yeah, I know the playbook - deflect and deny, etc. 100k dead, more injured, highest number of child casualties in any modern conflict, countless statements of genocidal intent at the highest levels. But population growth is the metric we ne

The commenter is probably referring to Hezbollah and Iran. And yes, the IDF has been relying on abhorrent & violently escalatory tactics since at least 1982 (Lebanon invasion). On that note, I recently picked up an excellent book (“Our

Iran has been escalating reasonably, and is clearly acting as a sovereign state should. You can project all you want, but Saddam was playing another ballgame. Unfortunately, international law means nothing these days, so it might have been

by Cyph0n 1y ago
Forcing Iran into submission is not going be as easy as it was in Iraq. One of the key reasons behind why Iraq fell so quickly is that Saddam made all the wrong moves leading up the invasion. By that point, he had alienated every single pot

Only because a select few people had the balls to blow the whistle. Imagine if Snowden decided to just do his work and move on? How much longer would it have taken for these facts to be revealed to the public?

Not an Elixir expert, but my impression is that Postgres is a common choice. It’s well supported by both Ecto (ORM) and Oban (job queue).

Imagine actively censoring a revolutionary your government assassinated 50 years ago. Is the dude haunting this person or something?
