In most cases there's going to be substantial overlap between the functionality required for various business functions, and even in differentiated systems the ideal technical domains may not map cleanly to business domains. It's

I loved QBasic. That integrated help system also came with extensive sample code for each function, including some full programs. Copying and modifying those was a huge boost to learning how to program. (The article does mention QBasic, tho

The fact that he highlighted multiple products purchased from Target is interesting. Is he unaware that Target is a discount chain? You're accepting a higher risk of a defective product by shopping there. If the product is garbage you

I bought four seemingly identical, cheap Cuisinart burr grinders over a period of 5 years or so. One of them happily endured heavy daily usage for several years at a workplace until it 'disappeared' during a move; I found out year

Right, in this specific case the problem is that "burr coffee grinder" became widely known as an indicator of quality, which meant that cheap products proliferated to take advantage of the prestige. The high-quality products that

What should I be looking for here that distinguishes it from other lightweight statically-typed scripting languages? Performance? Tooling? Particularly good FFI? There are some syntactic quirks that don't convey any obvious benefit, li

Sorry in advance if this is too much detail, but you seem to be interested in the nuance here. "Unfortunately." here is a sentence fragment. It's idiomatic (conversational + informal) English to modify a preceding sentence wi

"[unfortunate statement]. Unfortunately." is idiomatic (if informal) English. "Unfortunately. [unfortunate statement]." is not, especially in this case where the second statement is parenthesized. If it was "Unfortu

I think you're reading it as "Unfortunately, moderators occasionally unkill such threads..." when it's meant as "...they tend to be flagged to death by users regardless, unfortunately".

Using system and vendor libraries is part of the C language. We're not talking about language extensions here, we're talking about #include <unistd.h>.

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. X is very popular (there's a reason there's so much sequel material for it). I just find the Zanarkand stuff to be a real lead weight on the story, and the emotional heft of the s

The thing about VIII is that it has all the pieces of a really interesting story, but they completely fail to cohere into a narrative that supports the themes. The Laguna dreams are a fantastic narrative concept that results in an incredibl

I'm not sure what "tilt into anime" means here. FF has always been heavily influenced by anime. If anything, the earlier games bore those influences more obviously.

Super Metroid is still a very difficult game despite the automap. Getting lost in a game where you can warp to the start by dying isn't scary, it's tedious.

Nah, grinding was (and remains) in CRPGs with adult audiences. Some people just really like it. These days people, adult people with jobs and families, will pay a monthly fee just to grind.

I don't know if it's the gameplay or the writing that you're having trouble with, but if it's the latter, you're not alone: I think it has overall the worst plot/characters/setting of the single-player FF

I suppose the idea is that the "pardoned" prisoners would sue their states demanding release. If the Supreme Court bothered granting cert it would be to write the shortest, nastiest 9-0 "absolutely not" opinion ever.

The federal speed limit is a law passed by Congress. We're talking about executive action here, and the President is specifically forbidden by law to impound funds without Congressional authorization.
