Canoe (their SNES emulator) is definitely their own creation, it's very limited and can mostly only run the games they've released with it. I think it has some similar bugs to ZSNES, but that's just because they're both

Cutting expenditures means falling ever further behind Unreal Engine in the long term. Fundamentally I don't think it's a viable business as such, there are too many competitors who don't need to turn a profit solely on their

I feel like it's only in the past few years people have been talking about "junior" vs "senior" except as literal job titles. It's a weird binary distinction when of course gaining experience is a gradient.

There are tons of occasional recreational oxy users, and at that level the effect is basically a pure euphoria, blissful happiness. Ironically addiction risk is also low if your usage pattern is 1-2 times per month, much much lower than som

vcpkg is well on its way to becoming the de facto standard, with support for just about every major platform out there. But FetchContent / ExternalProject in CMake is super convenient and works really well if you just have a couple sim

I've read so much hand-wringing German coverage of this issue, and while sometimes comparisons are made to other countries, it's almost never mentioned that cannabis has been legal for half of the US population for years now, and

The default place for younger online communities is now overwhelmingly Discord. It's not a 1:1 replacement, but that's where the people are.

It's been selling well for almost 9 years now! You can call it many things, but it is clearly not a "flop".

Yeah it helps if you're really into some niche gaming community (eg, retro game randomizers), but in my ~30 years of being extremely online, my closest online friends have pretty much all come from small Twitch streams and their associ

Over the years, there have been dozens of serious attempts at reinventing bookmarks (from third-party services and plugins), and none of them have caught on. My conclusion is that they're just not a concept that works for people; they

Not sure about the UK, but in Europe typically pills are sold as blister packs. I don't think there's a limit per se, you can still buy a box of 50 at least.

It is not at all uncommon for me to refactor the internals of a unit (ie, a class) in order to add a feature. Unit tests are extremely useful here.

Pretty much every keyboard out there has little bumps on the F and J keys for exactly this purpose.

The mention of NotSupportedException is a little confusing because that's a .NET thing, and the rest of the article is talking about Win32, which is a plain old C API where exceptions don't exist. I guess he's implicitly ta

I dunno exactly what a "technical marketing manager" is, but Nadella had a master's in computer science at that point, so I doubt he was just a sales guy.

Art is communication, it's as simple as that. Computer generated stuff isn't communicating anything.

The problem with maintaining unofficial language bindings of any kind is that it's an extraordinarily tedious, unrewarding job. It's hard to imagine many programming tasks which are less fun. I've done it a few times, and I&#

This is it. C++ has the huge advantage of being able to use the entire ecosystem of existing C++ and C libraries without any kind of bindings. When you'd need to make your own Rust bindings or rely on some third-party project which may

Yeah Google aggressively uses geolocation throughout their services, regardless of your language settings. The flipside of that is that it's really easy to access the latest Gemini or whatever by just using a VPN.

At Aldi Nord in Germany, the "Trader Joe's" products are just the usual cheap garbage with a label slapped on it. It's nothing like the interesting stuff you get in the US.

> a viable direct target for modern games Aside from PlayStation exclusives, nearly every AAA game in the past 20+ years has targeted Direct3D and HLSL first. Any other backend is a port.

I'd say Satisfactory is primarily an exploration game, Factorio is about building, and ONI is about constantly living on the knife's edge of limited and rapidly dwindling resources. It's a brilliant, intricate design but yeah

You don't have to actually do any optimization at all, you can beat the game (launch a rocket) with inefficient spaghetti designs.

Judicial review isn't necessarily an obvious or completely desirable concept. It's not in the US Constitution either, and Marbury v. Madison is still somewhat controversial.

In terms of serious Mac audio issues, when I got my new M1 MBP I quickly noticed a faint crackling sound (unaffected by the volume setting) in the headphone jack when plugged in via MagSafe or a left side USB port. So I just have it plugged

Ultimately it's gonna come down to new legislation, and there is just absolutely no chance of "big tech gets to exploit every copyrighted work on the planet for free". Definitely not in the US or Europe. Big media companies d

Ten years ago, Intel was the leader in chip fabrication technology. Things can change fast. Intel has already been making good low-end GPUs (with lousy but rapidly-improving drivers). If they're smart, they'll keep at it.
