I would be interested in seeing a version of this, where a pixel-identical scene is created using different toolkits.

Would you mind explaining in more detail why you didn't like using DirectX? When I was reading up for some games if they would get an OpenGL version, I was reading more than once that OpenGL were a mess.

If you don't trust Microsoft and it's Store, then you shouldn't use Windows in the first place.

While I think your conclusion is clearly wrong, I can't stop watching and listening to the machine starting up at 4:56. It also bursts into life with a violent explosion as one can see in the mans cloth, but the prior build-up with the

While your post is interesting, it is also vague. Can you specify what Wayland is missing that can't be adequately handled by QT or GTK, or do you just have the feeling there is such a thing?

Everybody has the right to expect a fair and reasonable treatment and punishment. If that can't be guaranteed it might be imperative to not share the identity, because sharing it would imply another injustice without righting any other

Just because you are accepting the risk of getting killed does not mean it is okay to kill you. That would be a ridiculous point of view.

> You only win a battle by decimating your enemy. You are wrong. You may decide to fight but not want to be killed nor kill anybody, but just want the war to stop. Most battles ended without decimating any side, and they can even end wit

If you decide to fight, it might be because you are fighting back.

> This attitude--differentiating based on civilian-ness--is useful. I disagree. War must be deadly and costly for both sides. Human intercation is heavily based on deterrents. One can see that in interactions in small and big groups. Tak

I wonder why you differentiate so much between the life of a civilian and a non-civilian. You imply that as soon as you decide to fight — be it righteous or not — you forfeit your life and it is okay to kill you. Isn't it equally bad i

Mh, I also support universal basic income. I think it would make our society hugely better for nearly everybody, except for maybe the very rich. I can only dream of all the stuff that we would have if people didn't need to worry so muc

Oh, nice to see personal experience being backed up by scientific research. Do you have a reference to that research?

The example of the recent fire in London strengthens my point. If we neglect security, then there is a price to pay for it. And now in London they do fix up buildings, because it's what makes sense. Linux including a breaking change to

That is not necessary, at all. One can always just literally write "the list of ascendingly ordered integers that are greater or equal to 1 and smaller or equal to n". The introduction of formal notation is just a shortcut.

A genuine question: Why isn't it perfectly reasonable to accept to break compatibility in order to increase security? Isn't that what we do in our lifes all the time? When the authorities issue new fire safety regulations for buil

I strongly disagree. It will crush nine out of ten with it's weight, and that last happy one will build a catapult with that weight to fling himself into a bright future. But that is not worth ruining the nine others. Poverty makes you

Yeah, I gave a good advice! People don't say that often. Anyway, I get what you mean. Of course, if you are pretty, people seemingly everywhere will react in certain ways to it. If you are abrasive, likewise, you will get according rea

I don't think amazon has an interest in that, because it will lead governments to make amazons life uneasy, and they are capable of making it very uneasy.

I regularely teach math for university students, and get favourable feedback. When somebody asks why isn't 1/(x+y) = 1/x + 1/y, then I ask why it should be. Just because something looks intuitive or pleasing does not mea

Falling down a staircase does not always hurt you seriously, I'm still afraid of getting hurt when falling down a staircase. That's why I avoid as best as I can to fall down staircases. I also avoid as best as I can giving any dat

I'm certainly not okay with having to use a closed processor to run my software. I'm longing for an alternative. Hopefully RISC-V will show some buyable results.
