The English translation of "Dogmatix" is the most perfect translation ever. It kept the original meaning and even introduced a new pun.

Not everyone loved it. Astérix and the Goths was an early and very unfavourable depiction of the Germans as militaristic and ruthless, written with WW2 still fresh in mind. The Germans did not like this early strip. Goscinny and Uderzo seem

That's been me too. Obviously they don't want us Mexicans in the US, so why would I go? I'm hoping to get a Canadian passport soon (although with what's happening in the world, who knows), and I think for immigration and

So always rebase onto master and test your rebased changes before you can advance (sigh, "fast-forward merge", in the parlance of our gits) the master ref to your changes. I still don't see the need for two separate branches.

I don't really understand the distinction between develop and master either. You're supposed to branch off develop and merge forward back into develop, then merge into a release branch, then merge into master. So everything in dev

Yep! Mexican here, I added that example! And I think it's really cool! Day of the Dead has an interesting, very modern history. The celebration keeps evolving, traditions being born before our very eyes. I'm pretty sure the coolne

Oh, hi. I recently learned this about a few months ago. I contributed the Mexico City Day of the Dead parade as an example. I think that applies. When I was a chilango kid in the 1980s, Day of the Dead was seen as a rather mediocre and seco

Personally, I'm happy building from source, especially for niche software. Just give me a working CMake or Qt .pro file and I can figure out the rest. I in fact rather dislike pre-built binaries. I don't trust them to work well an

It's not irrelevant: a single company can undertake different economic activities that produce the same economic outputs with different ecological results. I've seen this first-hand in my line of work. When you make companies publ

I think the cut content is pretty obvious. It's almost all the second half of the game. You spend something like 15 hours getting the first four magical macguffins in the game and then suddenly the last four arrive within 45 minutes. I

Some people have been claiming copyright on algorithmic outputs. Wolfram is one such prominent example. I don't know if it's ever been challenged, but he does claim all output of Alpha is copyrighted to him.

D is fun! It's so easy to get started. Rust has an initial learning curve that just doesn't doesn't seem to fun to me, but I guess I'll have to actually scale it some day.

I feel the same way too. It's fairly easy to translate Python into D, and you get all of that compile-time goodness to go with it (static type checking and compile-time function execution). And it's pretty fast! I bet we could opt

Oh, but we should hold it over their head. We very much should. Cynicism only hurts us and leaves us with a poorer way to communicate. Cynicism benefits Medium.
