There's actually a book about unreleased games, written by Frank Gasking, just about to come out (taking pre-orders as of today). Myself and other team members were interviewed by the author, some time back, about one of the unreleased

That didn't work either. Resolved it by connecting via VPN. So maybe it's either a geolocation thing, or a DNS thing.

I don't in any of my open projects. They're there for a reason! Many of them are written in a way that is probably useful to another coder who is taking the time to look at that piece of code — whether because of an issue, or for

Great project, thanks! Is Pupper in any way related to this quadraped robot here [1] — or do they just have a similar looking physical architecture? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnEtJSkUFDk

Ok, I concede that traffic can be seen, way off in the distance. I suppose the whole point comes down to how 'close' is close? The previous road was a hundred-odd feet away, and literally went right past a big stone, by a couple o

My mum lived in that area until a few years ago. Definitely worth a visit, yes! The road you speak of got closed, and totally removed, some years back [1]. Only the bluestones are believed to come from hundreds of miles away, the sandstone

Sure, and that’s why I said “/usually/ a rhinovirus”. But saying the common cold is “almost the same virus” as coronavirus still isn’t true as a blanket statement: the vast majority of common colds (up to 85% by your stats) are a

A lot of folk like the trackpads on the MacBooks. No idea how the XPS ones compare? Another thing is Thunderbolt, but IDK if that’s supported under Linux? So that might be a moot point anyhow.

Covid-19 is a coronavirus, the common cold is usually a rhinovirus. They're not 'almost the same virus' as you assert, they're completely different virus families [1]. For starters, coronaviruses are enveloped, and rhino

What's false here — a logical fallacy — is to attribute that claim to the WHO, and not to the 'preliminary reports' from 'Chinese authorities'. If a newspaper quotes/summarises the words of an MP/celeb, ar

Indeed they are liable... well, to a certain degree: A prime example here is the DMCA — but there are also other existing laws that place restrictions on content, which Youtube (and other platforms/publishers) must adhere to.

Actually, technically that is the WHO summarising results from preliminary investigations by the Chinese authorities. Saying that that is the WHO making that claim is incorrect, a kind of logical fallacy. It's like a newspaper reportin

My understanding here, from the quote in the article, is that one is ok to say 'Take vitamin C', but it is not ok to say 'Take vitamin C, it will cure you [of x]'.
