How much of this is a problem in practice when Unity, etc. abstract away all of those API differences these days? What's preventing a cross-platform game developer from targetting the Mac?

Another good one is The Last Unicorn. While Miyazaki himself wasn't involved, it was animated by Topcraft, the company that did Nausicaa, and most of them would go on to be the core team of Studio Ghibli.

I'd say the golden age of travel (if you mean independent individual adventure travel) was the hippie trail era in the 60s. You could overland through places like Iran and Afghanistan that would be unthinkable today. https:/&#x

Bit of trivia: the Elizabeth Line is actually run by a subsidary of Hong Kong's MTR, arguably one of the best transit systems in the world. https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3179455&#x2F

I wonder how real of a problem this is -- for example, in classical music, a lot of terms and directives come from Italian: eg forte, piano, tempo (the word itself and the various degrees from largo to presto) etc. Even if you don't ot

In most European airlines short haul business class is just economy seats with the middle blocked off and slightly better food. This means they can dynamically adjust the size of business class on a per flight basis. So "a huge busin

One of the features of PKI is that you can revoke the certificate of the malicious issuing authority itself in such cases.

It boggles me why the US is one of the only developed countries still not to have national standards for PKI-authenticated vaccination and test records. (Why am I being downvoted?)
