Point is you cannot know if they are an upstart (whatever upstart means). It can be misinterpretation, it can be camoflage, it can be anything. But once you rain death you're better be prepared to be grateful for what you are about to

And the idea does not make sense once you include intel being incomplete into the equation: what if the preemptive strike will not attain complete eradication? You might or might not fatally cripple the opponent, but retaliation can do that

also fuck them both. for me it's when you realize you do not have to define yourself within a framework of outside expectations.

Then everyone proceeds not caring like it happened with openttd recently. Or for example OpenXcom -- when those new-Xcom titles started appearing it changed exactly nothing.

Spot on. It's why I quit adtech in 2015. Running realtime auctions server-side is one thing, but building what basically amounts to live-feed screen capture ..

Dog, ha. Try a longhair cat. You'll be extracting balls of fur from most unexpected body cavities.

Warlord won't kill you, that's just waste of ammo. They'll rob you same as government. There is no distinction really.

Even if it was just 0 albedo no generation, irradiation on whatever's parked beneath would be cut in half plus rest of (re-)radiation converted into far-ir. This is not unuseful. Just don't mandate this kind of thing in places whe

It is very likely that no one cares if anyone cares about copyright. If someone do in fact care, I'm sure someone else can organize an online donation for them tissues those who care can cry into. Otherwise please accept that Civ I is

And I did. And it did. Like, Amiga, even 500 models. I do not doubt X was horrible from that pov. I remember R5. This is not that I meant. edit: there were no web browsers back then. the effin "folder browser" opens slower on my x

You, and sibling comment author just never experienced the truly responsive ui. It is one where reaction is under a single frame from action. EDIT: and frame is 1/60s, that is 16.(6)ms. I feel bad feeling I have to mention this basic f

It's more like insufficient emotional control is very dangerous. It's nothing new but I guess LLMs highlighted that problem a bit.

Now this is very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

I have an EGA monitor (one of the Thomsons), but a custom built USB CRTC/framebuffer (that uses SRAM from 386-486 motherboards I still have laying around somewhere) instead of RPi. It does not help with the cat though.

Zig got this right to such a degree that I'm sometimes tempted to export its allocators to C via FFI. Then I sober up a bit and just rewrite it all in zig, all its instability nonwithstanding.

To "get coverage from a news network" is ignorance bordering on pure madness. They are almost exclusively propaganda and manipulation and as such the only useful signal that can be extracted is something like "how those peopl

Arxiv btw has its own problems with curation. It's not full-open access, one can get effectively banned there for reasons not related to quality of submission.

Thanks for clarifying. Not being of USA I didn't even consider the angle about having to pay for government ID - it's a very alien concept for us in eastern europe at least. Election fraud on the other hand.. this we are very fami

I don't know what are these nasty bits windows is supposedly hiding, or what exactly breaks more often on Linux. For me it's exact opposite: my linux just never breaks. I don't do anything special, just plug in the hdd into n

I agree, locks are best avoided and explicit message passing is much better for maintanability. But OP talks about removing address space isolation entirely and sharing all memory, not just more-or-less well-defined bits.

Judging by the description, it's exactly like AmigaOS, Windows 3.x or early Apple. Or MS-DOS things like DESQview. I fail to see the point - if you control the code and need performance so much that an occassional copy bites, you can a

For such a trivial thing I'd just take imgui. MFC, wx, Qt .. it's all overcomplex pointless bloat for this task imo.

All things considered it's still much easier to get to the open internet through those laughable barriers than in say 1995 over 14400 modem tied to a landline of quite horrible quality. And I actually worked at dialup ISP in 1996-1998.

I can't believe I'm reading about those things being presented as new and exciting in 2026. I had to dig around because I could not remember since when I take this stuff - putting as many toolbars as you'd like anywhere on mu
