Are scripting languages not a thing in gamedev anymore? I feel most of the things mentioned (rapid prototyping, ease of use for new programmers, modability) would be more easily accomplished by embedding a Lua interpreter in the rust projec

I knew South Sudan got independence last decade, and I had some concept of a civil war there. I mainly knew it as a young and very poor republic with a lot of problems. I did not know the civil war was ongoing since 2012. That's tragic

America is one of the last bastions of free speech left. Stuff like this, the tik tok ban, and the "anti-semitism" laws, are very disturbing developments.

I think if we take the recency bias, emotion and partisanship out of this, we can see that the United States has been trying to pivot away from Europe, under both democratic and republican administrations, for over a decade now. The fact is

Absolutely fair points. He's at least trying. But it's the tragic comedy of the point at which he has to start from, and the date on the calendar...

A slight thawing of relations is a long way away from an alliance. Even then, would Russia take it? They might see more value in their current arrangement with China. Still, long term maybe you're right. It does make geopolitical sense

You know the more I think about it, the more I consider that even without US support, their primary adversary has already demonstrated their impotence as an offensive military power. Maybe they simply don't need to do much more than th

The speed at which EU defense integration precedes is dizzying. In only: - one month after the US openly said it won't be the primary security guarantor of Europe - a month and a half after the second inauguration of a NATO sceptical p

The trade off you make with these keyboards is that you have to learn a different muscle memory, in return for less finger contortions, more comfort, and less hand waving around the keyboard. If that's not appealing to you, there'

Took a few weeks to get used to, but I love it now (Planck), and I'm just as fast, if not a bit faster, than on my laptop keyboard. It's also much easier for me to use my right small finger to hit P than it is on a "normal&qu

If you think about regular keyboard stagger though, your fingers are always going towards the top left. It's not uniform. So if this sort of stagger is good, do we want top left stagger on one side, and top right stagger on the other?

I like low-profile in theory, but in practices there's so many high quality mx profile switches, and everything in low-profile land seems a bit substandard. I can't go back to unlubed linears, or scratchy brown clones.

I like your design choices. Putting the micro-controllers at the far ends means the rest of the board can be lower, meaning less need for palm supports. Also I like you NOT having OLED screens - they're toys at best and one more thing

Lady bird is such a positive development. Turns out people can just make browsers. Wish them all the success in the world.

You realise in a propaganda war, parts of each sides propaganda are bound to be objectively true, right? It's not like one side just lies and the other side just tells the truth. This isn't a movie.

Myth. Russia had superior tanks and manpower. German high command had no idea of the depth of Russias armament industry or the number of troops (see eg the Hitler/Mannheim conversation). Yes the winters did help, but they were still ou

They didn't lose to Finland, they forced them to sign a treaty whereby Finland gave up territory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Peace_Treaty Finland fought exceptionally well, which shocked the world, but t

Why does it need to be accomplished without monetization? I'd gladly pay for a good browser, that respects my privacy. Quite frankly we all need to start opening our pockets for this; the idea that big companies will benevolently suppl

I never said it was only in American speech, just that it's very, very common, to the point where a lot of what Americans said made less sense to me until I realised it. Different cultures express things differently. Overstating, under

I don't thinks statements like this are meant to be read literally in American English. IE US English speakers always fond of telling me how they work X hours in a day, or they went N days without sleep. Which used to really impress me

LOL at the extract: The People's Republic of China dealt with addiction as a political problem, offering the new society hope, food, shelter, work, and land instead of opium. Addiction no longer had its appeal. Opium producing poppies

The majority of the population, including I'd say the majority of people on this site, think historical dramas are accurate. They may not phrase it as such but they implicitly believe things on the screen.

If you're in a struggle against a hostile regime, you don't refuse to use the weapons available to you because they're not what will bring you final victory. You use whatever you can.

Personally, this lack of support doesn’t bother me much, because the only use case I can see for it, is wanting to expose your Ruby HTTP directly to the internet without any sort of load balancer or reverse proxy, which I understand may se

Like which ones? Barbados, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brunei, Botswana... the US (being former colonies) is doing exceptionally well, but off the backs of others. Ah so the poorer ex-colonies are simply too moral to develop. How no

Thanks for this indepth response. It's made me realise that I'm very much in the linux "smashing together different projects" camp. Probably much more so than other linux users seeing as I prefer to use super minimalist
