Not in England, Wales, Ireland and Britain's American colonies, which all made the change of the new year from March to January in 1752 alongside the switch to the Gregorian calendar. Scotland made the change in 1600.

That’s as much make’s fault as Zig. You can go further and eschew the zig build system, using `zig build-lib`, I’d that helps.

Just because it’s the default doesn’t mean it’s the only option. Another approach would be to integrate your zig code as a static library, and have your existing build system call out to zig’s build system just for that part of the build. L

What do you think would stop them from doing this to a phone using a physical SIM card? I don’t see how an eSIM makes a difference in this scenario.

Now that's impressive. 1h40m for it though..., that's an extra 1h15m for just 800mph more. With some tweaking of your initial launch angle (get it somewhere between 40-60° rather than 0° which is what I'm assuming yours was,

I think the bigger shock is how frequent the ad breaks are. In Ireland, an ad-break 4 times an hour is typical, and often if a movie is showing, it'd be every half-hour or on the hour instead. In the US it feels like it's every 5

This isn't nearly as true as it used to be. I regularly game on KDE Plasma on Wayland on a 3080 Ti with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, and it works fine.
