I have never played an AoE game. In Civ, though, if you’re not at least considering conquering other players' cities and adding them to your country you may be playing the game wrong. Sure, in Civ 6 you can win on science, culture, rel

I haven’t heard Homer’s voice. There’s more to being a songwriter than vocal talent, though.

I was raised where Sam Clemens was raised. People not only read the books. They tour his home. They tour the cave from Tom Sawyer. They attend the annual National Tom Sawyer days. They come from all over the world.

The article is about plugging in one or more pieces of writing and getting a name. That’s not leaking their phone number, their email address, their location, their associations, or other information and piecing together an investigative fi

One potential solution here I suppose is to make deanonymization or contributing to it a serious crime. I doubt that will happen in most places, though, since it’s often the government that wants to do this to its own citizens.

I’ve worked somewhere that used Snapback, and that’s also from Mike Rubel’s writings. https://metacpan.org/dist/Snapback2/view/scripts/snapback2.P... The 2 is I think because an earlier incarnation was b

These numbers are a nice snapshot, but I see no comparison to historical numbers in the article. I know many families who have had intergenerational support happening from older to younger and vice versa.

Macs don’t compete with the low end laptops. Even the Neo competes more in the middle of the laptop market. When you compare the specs and real-world performance of a MacBook, Mac Mini, or Mac Studio to other equivalent models the price mig

I’m not saying it will work for you, but it may be worth trying GABA or 5-HTP to help you stay asleep. As a chronic insomniac of many years, I take both and not melatonin. Sometimes if my sleep schedule gets bad enough I’ll take 25mg of dip

Good to know. Thanks. Speaking of Samsung, the only phone I’ve ever had that actually failed before being replaced was a Note 4. That’s across Nokia, Samsung, pre-Lenovo Motorola, post-buyout Motorola, OnePlus, Apple, and even Audiovox. To

It looks like my next phone will be back to Motorola or maybe Samsung or Google. I’ve been pretty happy with my OnePlus, and it’s not even the flagship. It’s the Nord N30 5G 128GB. It’s been meeting my needs since it launched.

At that point you can say C has no semantics, because the compiler defines them.

Many languages are in fact designed and publicized as general-purpose programming languages.

Have you looked into YAMLScript?
109.
by cestith 3mo ago
I would say any JSON or YAML that carries semantics with the syntax is a language. It may be a configuration language rather than a programming language, but it’s a language rather than just generic data for some program to slurp.

I agree with using a single ubiquitous power standard for small electronics and electrics. That’s almost what USB-C is these days. We need better labelling of cable capacities when there are 20w and 120w cables that at a glance look the sam

What if 0.11 and some userland for it is just a PoC on the way to doing the same with 7? Is it worthwhile then?
113.
by cestith 3mo ago
I would presume Linux 0.11 itself wouldn’t be considered very useful for day to day computing this century. This seems a proof of concept on a very early, simpler version of the kernel. As a PoC I find it useful as exactly that.

Things get released as GPL or AGPL that were originally BSD or MIT license all the time. The terms of the copyleft license include all the terms of the attribution licenses. Whether this is a valid thing legally I’m not sure but it doesn’t

It wasn’t written by a mechanical process, though. It was ported (translated) from an existing creative work into a new language. Surely you wouldn’t say a Spanish translation of a Harry Potter work is in the public domain while the origina

True, but internal dependencies aren’t upstream. I care very little how a project is laid out on disk before it’s built unless I’m going to work on the source.

From the other side, there have been brief tutorials for many years about how to ask useful questions in a technical forum. Making hundreds of other people fish for details about your case is poor form. https://www.freecodecamp.o
