Why do (US?) hunters go in camouflage? Would that trick the animals... or rather trick other hunters, and not see them... always seemed weird going in full camouflage... for hunting.

Thank you so much, specifically I think I've had this on my Pravetz 8C (Apple ][/e clone) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOI-7#KOI-7_N2

To get accepted in most of the game engines, the author would need to provide a way to override malloc/realloc/free - even better if no need to realloc.

I could be completely wrong on this one, but Pascal not caring about case would've made it more available on machines where lower case was not available, but taken for other needs (like cyrillic). Not sure if it would've made diff

How does a diabetic, goes on a vegetarian, or vegan diet? Wouldn't that have more carbs?

Sorry to be pedant, but using good prefix, or even suffix for C library is a must, and come up with something unique (and "fleur" is kind of cool), probably good idea to prefix with it, and then it can be used without any current

QML is something else completely, but bundled, part now of Qt. It's not suitable for desktop apps, at least not in the way we want them to be. Also it has the most horrid way of adding code in there, that's like how the fuck this

XAML? (Okay, I'm not a fan of it, but it's one way to achieve it). Or Qt's .ui spec (though too Qt-specific). I like flutter or Unreal's Slate UI approach (e.g. the UI is in the code), and wished we used that more with o

If you wonder why we still need humans, check this out - https://www.google.com/search?q=beverly+hills+properties - spotted the issue? maybe an AI could've caught it... or maybe lots of amazon-turk (or like) employed f

I agree, but it's true that some jobs should not simply exists. To this day, if I go to our airport in Sofia (Bulgaria), and my baggage is over the limit of 20 or was it 25kg I have to go to another place, pay for it and come back (why

The elephant in the room for big CAD/CAM apps is dockable widgets, where (for me personally), the "standard" is how Visaul Studio does it. Even Qt, with it's built-in widgets is not enough (e.g. no multiple widgets/
