I'm happy gIMP is still being worked on. That said, I'm a photoshop user and I find all my personal needs are covered by Photopea ( https://photopea.com ). It feels like it duplicates all of the photoshop features I regu

I am not sure what you're referring to. In the original cut (I saw it opening day in Westwood Los Angeles, owned the laserdisc, then some special DVD set), Russia and the USA are getting agressive with each other. The military on board

What is wrong with The Abyss? The theatrical release was fine. The extended addition with the 5 minute video montage of the aliens preaching to Bud that humans are destructive seemed like the only bad thing to me but that wasn't in the

There's lots mixed up with IP laws. Are talking inventions (patents) or works of art (books, movies, music, games) I certainly know that most games and movies wouldn't exist without a monetary incentive. They take too much work to

I suspect most people don't want it. I can imagine lots of people calling customer service "Q: why doesn't my camera work?", "A: Did you open the cover?" There's just a valid an argument to do the same for

Personally I hate tooling for one language written in another. I hate python used to generate C++. I hate go used to generate C++ or JavaScript. Every added language adds more knowledge needed to contribute. For every 1000 JS developers and

I've heard amazing catchy songs from Suno and Udio. So much so they're still stuck in my head as earworms several months later. If they'd been streaming on youtube or spotify I wouldn't have given it a thought that they

I feel like this is missing EMS and XMS memory. Both were well supported ways of getting more than 640k. EMS worked by page banking. 1 or 2 64k segments of memory would be changed to point to different 64k banks from an add on memory card.

It's got 2m reviews where as Chrome iOS only has 1.9m. It's effectively a full browser. In other words, like Google and chat apps, they've got multiple browsers on iOS.

If you think you're not getting paid enough you should quit and start your own company. The fact that google/apple/amazon make 5-10x per employee is not proof that you're underpaid. The chef at French Laundry makes $$$$$

There is arguably no way to judge "fairness". Employee A gets assigned to work on LLMs. Employee B gets assigned to work on Android 9/Mac OS 12 security patches. Another example includes unforeseen difficulties. I have a frie

yes, of course. That's not my point. My point is TypeScript succeeds because it's just JavaScript with types. It's not a new language. cppfront is an entirely new language so it's arguably going to have a tougher time. B

I'd say those are unintended consequences and should have been taken into account. The effective result of the regulation appears to be just to have added annoying popups and close to zero change in company behavior.

It's not really a valid comparison though. cppfront is a different language that just happens to be compatible with C++. ts/js is were ts is just js with types. You can comment out the types and it just runs. cppfront's langu

Asking for lines is like asking for your CPU to support macros. The GPU is low-level, lines are high level. You build the high level on top of the low-level with libraries etc...
