Refactoring a very large codebase into components that can be understood independently may seem daunting, but not doing it is a matter of unwillingness not incapability.

Missed the obvious: age should be replaced with date of birth from which an up-to-date age can always be calculated.

It's neat to hear that I'm not the only one who does this. It makes a night-and-day difference for me. When the map is locked north, I'm always aware of my location within the larger area, even when driving somewhere complete

Is it two drive trains? I thought ideally PHEV would be like diesel-electric with electric motors supplying traction and a gas power plant supplying power.

Might there not be some selection bias there?

Well, there's also the fact that the entire thing could be replaced with... def cached_file_iterator(file_path): with open(file_path, 'r') as f: lines = [ line.strip() for line in f.readlines() ]

I did something very similar to this myself. My GC implementation was pretty heavily inspired by manishearth's Rust GC. My swing at the Crafting Intepreters in Rust can be found here: https://github.com/mwerezak/sp

I don't think the description on the page really captures how much of an improvement this is over traditional tic-tac-toe. It's not at all about the outcome being contrary to how perfect or poorly someone played, though I'm s

Pretty much. What made the PC era work as well as it did was a strong base of power users, that could choose what tech to use and what to sideline.

I had similar thoughts, about Rust being a good match for game engines but not games. Maybe it suggests Rust game engines might want to include an interpreter for some higher level language to actually do the gamedev in. Rust is pretty good

I wonder if Rust is just much better suited for making game engines than it is for making games. The relative abundance of game engines made in Rust compared to actual games is a bit of a meme, but I think there's something to it. Ma

The last paragraph is interesting. I guess the "whatever" that PR mutated into is the influencer culture we have now.

So all we need then is parachutes, some kind of GPS based glide guidance control, and a network of aviation battery collection stations :) I guess overseas flights will just have to absorb the cost, unless it happens to be economical someho

Thank you for bringing some perspective to the discussion, because there are so many counterexamples to the GP post. Karelia is another one. Whether or not such situations are resolvable peacefully is entirely up to the nations involved. I

I see. I asked the question because I legitimately didn't know, and haven't heard any conversation about it. Maybe that's because continuing Firefox outside of Mozilla seems like an insurmountable task, but doing nothing seem

I feel like this question is a decade too late, but FF is open source right? Why hasn't Mozilla been jettisoned years ago?

Odd syntax choices. The ones that stand out for me are "enum class" for scoped enums, and ":" as the delimiter in switch statements. It doesn't seem really well thought out.
