Best of luck. Is there any place you wrote about why you belive Zig is better than all the other alternatives to C? Why should I look at Zig, insted of looking at Rust? Not trying to be dismissive, genuinely curious what your thinking is.

You mean cue. A queue is (for example) a line to the store. Yes they sound the same.

It's a really good app. Surprisingly addictive and fun. Come hang out in the jazzcats room!

Ok, so AMEX is unreasonably expensive. That 2-3% is exactly what I expect - maybe even a little lower, esp. for bigger merchants. Why would anybody accept such an expensive card?

As other replies pointed out, this is handled by the OS. Seems to work well most of the time for me on Ubuntu.

Maybe it's better in the states, but where I live the papers don't come close to being a complete listing. They will have the major stuff, and some of the smaller shows too - but a large part is still missing. And it's not a

Devil is in the details. There's just no place to reliably source all of the events that are happening. Sure you can get the ones that sell tickets through ticketmaster, or whatever, but nobody reliably aggregates all the smaller conce

where do the visual effects (those blinking bars) come from? Are they deliberate, or some sort of side effect?

yeah, that's how I recently clicked it - had to quickly install messenger (needed to make a video call, which the lite client I normally use doesn't support), clicked right through this. And normally I'm careful with such stu

This is rendering very badly for me in Firefox. The font is very hard to read - some parts of it are so thin, they appear invisible. ( https://screenshots.firefox.com/LHvHiygRGnaPkhsy/www.farmdoc... ) It looks mostly fin

I can also confirm I've had this experience. I learned a lot from MOOCs I never completed. That's why I like Khan Academy's model for educational content - aligned in paths, and with some gamification around completing, but u

A model which works without super-fans willing to pay significant amounts. Something that could work for journalism, and written content of the type that you don't "subscribe" to in any way. I know it's hard, and I know

Patreon works for many kinds of creators, but I think the space could still use innovation.

This sound like me at the end of every school essay. A forced and over-broad conclusion just to get a "proper" ending.

Really there are only three standards I can think of - micro usb, covering probably 80%+ of devices, whatever the current becoming popular. That's way better than it used to be.

I think they saw it as an effective method for building hype. I mean, gmail used to work on invites too.

VPN providers keep logs even when they say they don't, your browser transmits an often unique fingerprint, vulnerabilities allow disclosing real ip, and so on. Even darknet market operators with all the reasons for trying to be anonymo

That sounds like a really bad idea. Also, you can make synthetic nicotine. So eliminating tobacco wouldn't help.
