Since you mentioned Roblox, perhaps get them into Legos? Not just building sets, but engineering things on their own. I really enjoyed the Lego motors and robotics stuff at that age and up.

My long-running pet theory is that eating a large variety of foods is bad for our gut biome. Between breakfast, lunch, and dinner, our intestinal flora cycles through blooms and die-offs of different bacteria. The blooms interfere with bact

If filters struggle to trap particles around some specific particle size, wouldn't it make sense to combine two filters with different ranges together?

I've been getting random crashes from Gimp lately, so it's nice to see a bugfix update. Let's hope my issues go away! Unfortunately, it looks like this long-standing bug hasn't been fixed: https://gitlab.gnome

Most inmates are religious - that's why prisons have chapels and give out religious texts. It's estimated only around 1 in 1000 prisoners are atheist.

I've managed to do it on a budget. Tools can be bought used and wood can be scavenged from the curb or dumpsters. Both have a large time investment to find, so the trick is to do it passively. I take a lot of walks, and when I see a ni

I figure Java has been unfashionable for 10+ years. The applet boom was a long time ago.

Nah. Tons of knowledge is still in books, and Wikipedia has been backed up enough that we shouldn't lose that. Bigger concern is a massive EMP (like from the sun) could wreck electronics and our power grid. Our society might not surviv

I think I'm missing something. Why not call a PRNG for each array element? Seems like you could do this in 4 lines of code.

It's common enough, like in a typical memcpy implementation: while(size--) *dst++ = *src++;

You could say the same thing about web apps not needing fizzbuzz, but that wouldn't get you hired. As an aside, I think atomic incr/decr are useful. I don't see how you would implement them client side without some more compl

I believe racket/stream uses memoization. So it should be as fast as any memoized fibbonaci function.

The BIOS screen says the CPU fan runs at the same speed regardless of the cowl, but I'm not sure if this is accurately measuring RPM, or just estimating it from some other variable (e.g. the outgoing pulse-width modulation signal).

Yeah probably, but that doesn't explain why Intel's higher-end coolers do have a cowl. Surely the higher-end chips need VRM cooling way more than budget-mode i5s, especially when run at stock power limits. FWIW, when I tested (I&#

The license isn't realistically enforceable and isn't compatible with GPL.

Is clang still faster? I thought it had slowed down in the past decade and was now worse than GCC.

I mean React is pretty popular. And then there's stuff like immediate mode UIs and FRP UIs.

MetalNES is by the author of NESticle. Like Visual2C02 and Visual2A03, presumably it runs at such a slow speed that games are unplayable. Like, it may have taken hours to reach the SMB menu screen, but I would love to be corrected :)

I agree that C++ is a mess of a design, but I don't think this article quite gets how. RAII and move semantics are two of C++'s best features, and the ones that any replacement - like Rust - will copy. To me, bigger flaws with C++
