Is there really any mystery to why someone would prefer a language they know and are comfortable with. I'm more concerned why that seemed provocative enough to require inquiry. Rust is a very interesting language for sure, but there&#x

Humble died around 2017 when ign bought them. Ever since then they've been unable to figure out their identity. Their bundles have been pretty bad lately too. Mostly just old titles and assets. They stuck when they launched. If they ha

I know it's early but I was really hoping for something that looks different from the regular gnome desktop. Let me preface that by saying that I like gnome fine. And I've used it many times. But it's always felt like the des

Thankfully much of the controversy around V has escaped me. The clashes between proponents and detractors has mostly occurred on my periphery and it comes across rather silly to me. And I realize that will make me unpopular with both sides.

The people who like zig really like zig so they upvote it to the top while the people who don't like zig are at worst indifferent to it. So no one really complains. But we're starting to reach the point where zig is becoming popul

Just downloaded the deb and installed it. Not going to lie it's a little janky but it also seems closer to the metal. It's just a cmake project and the code seems easy to understand. Once you get a project running in the editor it

Those reasons might have applied half a decade ago. I was one of the early adopters of chrome and I've since switched back to Firefox for a better experience

I use Firefox as my daily driver and I couldn't disagree more. But it's hard to reply adequately because you don't actually tell us what your problems with it is. In what ways is Firefox not an acceptable alternative?

I usually steer clear of these types of discussions because I find the arguments ultimately pointless in the end. The users pick the winner based on their experience regardless of the merits of the systems available. Also I'm certain I

When studying a foreign language unless you live near where the language is spoken, it's extremely hard to practice. Even online it's hard to find someone who doesn't disappear after the first chat and you almost certainly li

Hope that includes better documentation. I've tried SDL2 a few times but I always have trouble after getting a window appear. Api docs are great but only go so far.

In the present it seems like we've discovered so much but modern science is still such a young concept in the timeline of humanity. I'd wager we still have many wrong answers and much of how the universe works is still undiscovere

Maybe things felt better because the internet originally reflected a subset of our population. Before the advent of cheap smartphones and 24/7 connections with a cellular plan, being part of the early internet usually meant you had a w

I remember being one of the first adopters of chrome back when it launched and how great it was. A few years ago I moved back to Firefox. Mozilla has done a great job since then to close the gap and Firefox is better than ever

I feel that too. It doesn't just work in the short run it works in the long run many times too. Was it always like this or did a switch happen at some point? or are we just remembering the past with rise colored glasses
