I guess I just don't understand the constant quest to set better and better records. Money. All else being equal, setting a new world record will lead to you earning more money, compared to 'just' winning gold. Both because

Is there anything better to replace it with? Even if they could use Google's reviews, I don't feel they are much better. I guess they could do a deal with TripAdvisor, which is the only other site I can think of that has fairly co

How does one “diff” a LabView program? Take a look at FME, another visual 'programming language'. They've done a lot of work with their git integration, including diffing and handling merge conflicts. https://doc

But why should you be rewarded for your fuckup by taking my land from me? Why should I be punished for doing nothing wrong by being forced to take a possibly lesser plot of land.

For what it's worth there seems to be a massive fuck up in the linked article. If you look at the original story, it lists the house as $500,000 and not $5 million. The land itself was bought for $22k in 2018

That sort of precedent seems like it will just lead to abuse. Buy a less desirable plot of land, 'accidentally' build on a nicer plot near by, force the owner of the nicer plot to hand over their land to you (Since they're ju

CUDA is very far ahead. Not only technically, but in mindshare. Developers trust CUDA and know that investing in CUDA is a future proof investment. AMD has had so many API changes over the years, that no one trusts them any more. If you go
