Achievements are a value add. Galaxy offers other social features, as well, which are value adds. Cloud saves are also a value add. And again, disabling those features is reasonable.

Disabling features is reasonable if they require the service to operate.

Indeed; it's my computer, and I choose what software it runs and what data it receives over the internet. If Google doesn't like how I utilize the data it sends to my Computer then they can simply stop sending it.

If Emacs moved away from Lisp I would simply stop using Emacs. It's a key factor in why I use Emacs instead of NeoVim, or VSCode.

It's part of Emacs 29, so it's in Emacs out of the box now.

It depends on how you approach solving problems, and what the problem is. In the contrived example, a linked list is clearly a terrible option for manipulating a sorted set of integers. Modern computers can slice and dice contiguous integer

That's based around a contrived problem that was posed to him: > Insert a sequence of random integers into a sorted sequence, then remove those elements one by one as determined by a random sequece of positions: Do you use a vector

While I like Janet, and find it to be a lovely little language; I think it's important to note that it lacks lists and cons cells, and so as a result some people don't label it a lisp, and programming in it is unlike other lisp la

Hmm, I wonder if there are any Linux distros that are built with this flag enabled?

I really can't name a single cyberpunk novel from the 80s that is even a close approximation of the present. Mmmaybe the Akira manga, or Patlabor manga? If only because they're intended to be taking place roughly the day after tom

The medium continues to grow within the purview of the original communities. Quake hasn't enjoyed _as much_ change as Doom, with source-faithful engines like Quakespasm being standard and the likes of Darkplaces being niche. However, t

Sadly, GitHub doesn't store its value-add assets within the repository itself; so all of the PR conversations, Gists, Issues, and so forth aren't within git itself.

It was shelved in 2006. The product managers must have had incredible foresight if they expected cloud storage to supercede local storage. Hell, try as they might, Microsoft still doesn't have ubiquitous OneDrive usage among Windows us

Or we could build high speed electric rail, and return to slow travel for intercontinental journeys.

I wouldn't expect the ban to occur in isolation of other actions. If we're at the point where personal air travel is being axed, then fuel taxes for automobiles would likely also be prohibitive. But here in Canada our carbon tax i

I also support a ban on personal air travel. Even a partial ban; say, allowing only air travel for family medical reasons or as a refugee. If we're to be at all serious about this being an existential threat to humanity, then personal

Still a (well-known) old favourite of mine: static uint8_t data[1048576]; /* IMPORTANT: ASK LEAD WHEN FAILING CERT DUE TO MEMORY */

I've worked on games where a static reference is found in the host libraries, and that's used as an offset to stomp on the unnecessary parts of the library provided by the vendor; and therefore recover slivers of precious console

Cynically, Google may be supporting this legislation because it believes that it will mandate that Browsers be secured from modification that could undermine the efficacy of the legislation. They have that Chrome change, whose name eludes m

Most American suburbs are awful if you enjoy any sort of regular physical activity, and simply prefer to walk to the market instead of drive. They're amazing if you love sitting in traffic.

Aye, I like to think of entrepreneurs as extreme investors. They are investing their time and effort in the expectation that there will be significant returns in the market. The Canadian entrepreneur problem is the TSX problem: it's a

Many Canadians became wealthy via the housing market. Effectively drawing wealth from the mortgaged future potential income of Canada's young first time home buyers. Or, just running STRs in the big cities.

Vulkan is sort of a post-API API. It seems to be designed specifically with high performance render pipelines in mind, and "end users" should interface with it through an intermediary layer. Ie, you might prefer bgfx[0], cinder[1]

Two years ago I didn't use AI at all. Now I wouldn't go without it; I have Copilot integrated with Emacs, VSCode, and Rider. I consider it a ground-breaking productivity accelerator, a leap similar to when I transitioned from Turb
