The rumors about ARM Mac Pro say it'll have a big Apple GPU. If they were going to keep doing the discrete GPU thing, I'd expect the integrated GPU to be more barebones. Though given that they just made a big deal about releasing

Rise to Ruins is also somewhat in that vein - more of a city-builder combined with a tower-defense game.

The Anno series is somewhat in this direction.

This is very evident in historical media where medieval people are portrayed as wearing burlap sacks and misshapen clumps of fur inside plain brown plaster castles rather than wearing brocade, silks, or brightly died wool inside colorfully-

Okay, China Daily paid for ads. Any evidence that "CCP paid The NY Times, LA Times, and other major papers to [...] not publish COVID lab leak pieces during 2020"?

The score is a combination of the amount of wealth stored and the degree to which wealth is able to be hidden in that jurisdiction. Notice that the US is number 2 on the list. It may be a heavily scrutinized jurisdiction and thus not a grea

There are motherboards like the AsRock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 that support DP-out through the onboard usb-c. Either using a DP-in port with a discrete GPU, or through an integrated GPU. Always check the manual to ensure it works

What do kernel subsystem interfaces usually look like? Is there a lot of shared ownership of objects with complex lifetimes (i.e. not just allocated on startup and never freed). Do APIs often require consumers to check invariants themselves

These new ML image identifiers are neat and they're sure to become the default method, but I feel like a "20 questions" style of tool could have worked very well for a long time with little technology required. Just ask a ser

"Without oversight" is stronger than reality as Trump's threatening of Powell illustrates. It is true that there is a strong culture of a politically independent, technocratic Fed. However this is a relatively recent inventio

Communism is even better at doing that: Khrushchyovkas. At any rate, extrapolating a trend from a single society to be an indelible part of an economic system is specious. Transitioning from a property tax model to a Land Value Tax model wo

I'm convinced that suburbia is popular enough that it would survive pretty well without government intervention, just not indefinitely in the same locations.

The Great Lakes Compact forbids that. As an agreement between states it went through US Congress, so theoretically an act of Congress could repeal or modify it. However this seems unlikely to me due to the Midwest's outsized political

I was just up around Lake Superior and there were lots of signs protesting someone wanting to sell bottled water from a well on their land near Lake Superior. I doubt that an individual's bespoke bottled water company could ever make a

Yes, however for this specific situation `replace()` is not an iterator adapter but a method of `str` which returns a newly allocated `String`. In practice, the compiler does not do something smarter than that: https://rust.godbo

`str::replace(from, to)` replaces all instances of the pattern `from` in the string with `to` returning the result as a newly allocated String. In theory the compiler could notice that the spaces added to the newly allocated strings are onl

One of my pathologies as a developer is that I want to do things "properly" at all times. When I see things like fn tokenize(expr: String) -> Vec<String> { expr .replace("(", " ( ")
