I'm not sure how that follows. Most big open-source projects are in practice owned and controlled by a single company/entity, and the processes don't differ much from what you'd see in-house. What you're describing

I wouldn't know at first glance what radare2 does, so this title was actually slightly more informative. Still nice to hear that it builds on previous work, though.

Also, I believe the statistic of interest here is incidents per operating hour, not per flight?

Both type inference and borrow checking have also received a whole bunch of small improvements over the past couple years. Subtle enough that you probably wouldn't notice them except in that the language just takes less effort to use.

I know I'm in a strange place when installing and updating some packages that were left out of the default installation of a particular flavour of your OS distribution is considered "crazy".

The Rust examples seemed a little bit oddly structured to me; the case of collecting a value from a single thread would be just as easily solved by returning from the closure and receiving it through join(): https://gist.github.c

Speaking from personal experience as someone who often seems that way, it's because environmentalism is a rational argument that people can easily approach without having the urge to defend their own morality (which doesn't make f

Are you sure you don't mean that USB 1.2 was changed to USB 2.0? I don't recall any naming confusion between USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s) and 3.x (5 Gbit/s and up).

It sounds not unlike what used to be the role of W3C before HTML5. Everything stagnated, while Microsoft with IE largely did not care, and everyone ended up making their pages in Flash because it was the only really consistent target.

It should make no difference to an existing installation. The point releases to LTS really just mean that the installer images are kept up to date.

Slacking is what the current system conditions the long-term unemployed to do. That is, the alternative to UBI here isn't "no income"; we already have basic income in Finland, though it's highly dependent on enduring var

They're a nice feature, although after a long while of trying, I ended up using just the Facebook container. The main container extension felt like too much work in regular browsing, and the tracking protection seems otherwise adequate

The use and magnitude of font hinting is largely what makes the difference. Windows used aggressive hinting until Windows 8, and it's also the default in many Linux distributions.

For me, "blurry" ie. antialiased is much better, so long as it results in better defined letter forms, as it does on MacOS or when using freetype with hinting set to low or turned off. HiDPI simply means there's no tradeoff.

Myst was predated - and for some time, outsold - slightly by The 7th Guest, which was very similar in all those respects. Neither of them were the first graphical adventure games without an inventory, as Loom had come out three years before

Same concerns for me in HiDPI on the desktop. I suspect it's due to mixing em and pixel alignments.

Let's not forget, that's essentially how much of the IT industry as we know it got started: companies like Western Electric, AT&T and Xerox hired people specifically to innovate.

I agree that there's a sound reason for this, but I can't help but think that API versioning would be the more correct way to do it. This is how you pile up unnecessary complexity.

Yeah, it would make more sense to just add the new line printing shorthands and leave cin/cout/cerr alone. Overloading "for" as a loop over a range of integers also seems questionable, and it seems you'd need to pol
