That sounds not so different from building a race car irl. There's no point in a big engine if you have to brake so early that you get passed in the corners. Plus all that braking will cook the brakes. It's often letter to have

I have not played many recent games but Scorched Earth was always one of my favorites. The economy allowed you to discover new weapons as you progressed in skill. I do agree as the number of combinations increases that seems like it would

I am as concerned about security as I am about privacy, and Apple has the best track record for long-lived devices that are still receiving security updates. As for privacy I don't know any major vendor that is privacy-focused. Not onl

I just write (gnu) makefiles for my projects these days and invoke pkg-config to detect libraries and features. It's easy for me because I've been doing it this way for decades. But there are way too many footguns for me to reco

If you learned history as a set of facts then you did not learn history. History is about the connections between those facts and the overarching story. Science is also taught as a set of facts to be memorized, but that is also not science

I agree. Quanta is the sort of material I like to read during my morning coffee ritual before I start a day of screen time. Are there any quality print magazines like it? I used to get Physics World a long time ago and have been looking f

This is a good point. Using final and a static cast to the derived type should eliminate the indirect call.

You could do that with angularjs 1.5 components too. But afaik it was/is not standard practice to embed html and css inside your js, because many (most?) editors treat html inside a string as a string instead of as html.

Not necessarily. For example, an uncompressed log will saturate disk more easily than a compressed log but if compression is fast enough the compressed log will write more data in the same amount of time. A more complex case: a column stor

I think my current motherboard does not have pins for a floppy drive, but every motherboard I've owned before that does. I just kept moving the floppy drive from chassis to chassis every time I upgraded just in case I needed it. IIRC

It would be nice if it fit on a standard size 1.44MB floppy, but given that I haven't used a floppy drive in about a decade, yeah I guess it doesn't matter much.
